The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1888-10-23

Besides being replete with tables of re-
and fluctuations, it contains ably
written articles on cotton from Mr.. Thos.
Ellison, of Liverpool, and others best
qualified to write on that subject. It will
doubtless be found of great interest and
value to all dealers in this great staple.
&c In the Mecklenburg Criminal Court
last week, the SANDER case terminated in
the conviction of Mr.. aHinson, who had
been indicted for saying bad things about
Miss Emma Jane Harrison, .Hinson was
fined a penny and costs."-:CharloHe
Democrat. The nan was either guilty Oh
not guilty. The jury said guilty. If
guilty, he ought to have been punished to
the full extent Of the law. In all cases
of a "penny and costs" it were better to
render a verdict of not guilty.
On Wednesday morning, in the city
Of Greensboro, at the residence of Cover
nor Scales, on West Market street, MI.
John Noble Wylie, of the city of Dan
vile, Va, was welded to the accomp-
lished Miss Katie Lewis Scales, of the
former city, DR.. J.. Henry Smith, of the
Presbyterian Church, officiating. Miss
Katie is not, as many suppose, a daughter
of the Governor, though a near relative,
and a member of his family from early
childhood. She is a great f~avorite in
Greensboro, as she is in this city, and
her hosts of friends in the two cities will
regret to lose her from society. The
bridal couple took an extensive tour
North. ( 80.
Last week-Fair week-was a season
of unalloyed pleasure and happiness to the
average Raleighite, 1t being the recurrence
of the annual visit of his sisters and his
brothers and his cousins and his aunts-
not to mention the old sweethearts and
intimate associates Of other days. He
always looks forward to the coming Of
the occasion with the most pleasurable
anticipations, and should his "kin" fail
to put in an appearance he is utterly in
consolable. The weather, during the
whole week, was the finest ever seen,
the visitors who were here in vast throngs
were happy and joyous and every face
wore a look of placid contentment, while
the bland smile that illumined the coun-
tenance of happy Pete Wilson, to whom
we all feel indebted for the grandest Fair
held in the city of Raleigh for many
years, was positively inspiring. The uni
versal verdict is that Wilson is a grand
success as a fair manager.
We call special attention to the ad-
vertisement of the North Corolina Home
Insurance Company in the present issue.
This institution has been insuring prop
erty in this State for nineteen years, dur
ing which time it has paid to its policy
holders more than five hundred thousand
dollars, and has fairly earned the good
name it bears as an honorable, straight
forward insurance company. It's officers
and Directors are we'll known to the peo-
pie of the State, and its President, MI.
w. s. Primrose, was the first insurance
officer, we believe, in the country to take
an active stand for the companies to write
policies on cotton in other than Jute COW
ering. The North Carolina Home will
write policies on such cotton as readily as
in the old covering. The Vice-President,
Mr.. w. g. Upchurch, is one of the best
farmers in the county or State. This is a
Home Company and should be literally
p~atronized by the farmers Of the State.
Besides the exceptionally good list of
stockholders presented in the advertise
ment of the Company, it has made a
compact with the German-American In
surance Company of New York by which
that company having assets of upwards of
five million dollars are jointly liable with
the North Carolina Home, for insurance
taken, thus presenting one Of the strongest
policies offered to the insuring public.
When you go to any agent for insurance
ask for a North Carolina Home Insurance
Company policy thus patronizing a good
company which promptly lent its infu-
ence to stand by the farmers in this fight
