Graded School Opening.

The Graded School will open next Tues
day. Sept 18th. On the opening day only
new pupils and such old pupils as were not
examined and did not receive grade tickets
at the close of last session need attend
These are requested to be present promptly
at o'clock Tuesday morning. On We,!nes-
day morning all are requested to be present
at half past s o'clock. 1t is particularly
desirable that all pupils should enter at
the beginning of the session in order that
they may suffer no disadvantage in being
graded. The school promises to be consid-
erably larger this year than last. The en-
rollment will probably reach 900 against
| 525 last year. Supt. Tomlinson' will be as
sisted by very able corps of teachers whose
names we will give next week.

A Few Items OF Interest Picked mp At
Lexington Court.
LEXINGTON, Sept. Judge E. T. Boykin
is holding the fall term of the Superior Court
for this county here this week. Both the
civil and criminal dockets unusually
light. The most noteworthy case to be tried
is that of Hargrave for horse stealing. Pub
lie sentiment is very much against Hargrave
in this county and it is quite probable that
the suit will be removed from this county.
The Hon. John s. Henderson and Mr..
B. F. Long made speeches here to-day which
were very attentively listened to by \ good
sized audience. AS yet there is not much
excitement iu political circles. We appre-
bend very quiet campaign this fall. The
good solid citizens of this county is not look
ing to the halls of legislation for aid but
are quietly working out their own salvation
by close application to business at home.
Corn crops are said to be very good
throughout the county and farmers are in
better spirits.
Rev. w. T. Walker, editor of the NORTH
Carolina Prolsi5itionist, will deliver an ad
dress in the court house here to night. We
hope he will have good audience as he i.
said to be good speaker and has for hi
text very important subject in which every
good citizen ought to feel deep interest.

GREENSBORO, AUG 31.-Superior Court
for this comfy is in session this week,
Judge Conner presiding. He is, we believe,
the youngest Superior Court Judge in North
Carolina being only about 80 years old.
His charge to the grand jury was capital.
He.makes a very good impr ession every
where he holds court.
We think North Carol6na hasa Just right

The criminal docket is pretty full this

capital case, that of the negro boy Dave
Cobb, col, for the murder of Benton Gray.
white, which took place last summer near
McLainsville in this county. The evidence
against him, though circumstantial is said
to be very strong. The negro is only about
10 years old. The crowd in attendance is
not very large, Seeing Judges Settle and
billiard here reminds one of other days.
Judge Settle looks quite feeble. Hon. j.
w. Reid spoke here to-day and we under
stand made an unusually good speech.
Jake Long Esq, thedemocratic candidate
for solicitor in this district Is here also. He
is in excellent spirits and will be elected by

Politics and politicians are unusually
quiet everywhere, and we do not apprehend
an exciting campaign. Corn crops are said
to be pretty fair generally. Farmers COM

Spreads the miasma or poisonous vapor
that begets malarial and typhus fever.
Wherever there is stagnant water in which
vegetation or refuse of any kind DECAYS,
there, as surely as the sun rises. are eener-
ated the seeds of fever and ague, dumb
ague and other endemic maladies of the
malarial type. For the effects of this en-
venomed air Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
furnishes an antidote, and prevents both
the contraction and recurrence of such
maladies. Even along the line of exeaya-
ton for the Lesseps Panama Canal, where
malarial diseases are not only yirulent but
deadly, Hostetter's Stomach Bitter. has
demonstrated its Incompatible protective
qualities. Not only for febrile COM
plants, but also for disorders of the stom-
ach, liver and bowels, for rheumatism and
inactivity of the kidneys and bladder, it is
very effective. L counteracts the effects of
fatigue, damp and exposure.
