Winston has a tobacco manufacturer
who, although he has been handling to-
bacco for thirty years, manufacturing
plug and smoking tobacco much of that
time, has never taken a chew or a smoke.
The continued rains have done much
damage to growing peaches, preventing
their r~ipenihg fully and causing them to
rot and drop from the trees. There
have been in consequence but few early
peaches in this section for shipment.

pie of that section take great interest in
the question of education, and hold these
picnics as a sort of annual reunion. They
are very much enjoyed and largely at
tended.
Some commercial drummers are
hard to kill. Saturday evening last, one
who had been imbibing the ardent pretty
freely, fell from a third story window OF
the McAdoo House, in Greensboro, to
the sidewalk, breaking several pieces OF
the wooden grating over a cellar opening
and although a dozen or more OF people
who saw the frightful fall took 1t for

hearty breakfast. The only apparent
Injury which he sustained was a dislocated
