Death of y Well-Known Gentleman.

Early Monday morning, news reached
the city that Gen. John F. Poindexter,
of Germanton, had breathed his last on the
night previous. This was sad intelligence
to many of our citizens who had long
known General Poindexter. He was never
married though he had number of rel
atives, among the number being a niece
who was recently married to Mr.. n. A.
Stedman of our city.
General Poindextcr died in the S7th year
of his age. He Was one of the old land.
marks of Stokes county, and was for sew
errl years Solicitor of his ditrict. He was
also elected several times to the State Leg
islature, which place he served faithfully
and efficiently. The General was highly
esteemed and was one of the leading men
of his county. By his industry and econo-
my he had gathered unto himself nice
little fortune which is estimated at between
fifty and sixty thousand dollars.
The burial took place at 10 o'clock Tues
day at the old family graveyard and was
attended by large circle of friends.

A Brief Visit to KernersyiIIe.

During the holidays our reporter made
brief but pleasant visit to our busy and
bustling little neighbor town of Kerners-
Vile, and was pleased to note the MANY
improvements made in the upbuilding of
the town since our last visit Numbers OF
new buildings have been erected during the
past year, and business in all branches
has been On the increase Two tobacco
warehouses are open and six large manu-
facturers are anxious for the weed. We
were told that each of these would operate
their factories largely during the coming
year. The signs indicate bright future for
our neighbor town. Her business men are
astir and the very flash OF their eyes indi-
cate push and energy.
Kernersyille has three buggy and carriage
works-the last one erected near the rail-
road and operated by two experienced and
energetic young men, Messrs. Huff & Stew
art. Their shops are creditable buildings
and the young firm are destined to do a
good business.
While there we were pleased to meet one
OF Guilford county's most prosperous farm
ers who raises large crops of the yellow leaf
He informed us that he had sold his tobacco
in Danville, Greensboro and Winston and
at the latter market he said he always
found the highest and most satisfactory
prices. Such news will do to carry to the
Greensboro Patrioa man.
We were pleased to form the acquaint-
ance of Mr.. Joseph L. May, the young editor
of the Summerfeld Sheqf. We were also
glad to meet the talented young city editor
of the Durham Recorder, Mr.. w. E. Whit
aker. He was visiting-.friends.

What ann 1 To De?

The symptoms of 8iliousness are unhappys
but too well known. They differ IN different
individuals to some extent. A Bilious mania
seldom breakfast eater. Too frequently, ais
he has an excellent appetite for liquids bu
for solids of a morning. His tongue will
hardly bear inspection at any time; if it is not
white and furred, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of orde-
and Dlarrhea or Constipation may be symp-
tom or the two may alternate. There are Of
ten Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood. There
may be giddIness and often headache and acid
ity or fatulence and tenderness in the pit OF
the stomach. To correct all this if not effect a
cure try GREEN'S august F2o,oer, it costs but a
trife and thousands attest its efficacy.

THE COURTHOUSE IMPROVEMENTS.

The County Fathers Decide to Make Val
! liable Additions, Cost Not to Exceed $6,-
(, 900.
The Justices of the Peace-or about forty
! of them, met in Winston last Monday to
consider the important question of building
a new Court House for Forsyth county or
repairing the old one.
| Speeches were made in favor of building
a new court house to cost from $25, 900 to
$4,000 by Judge Wilson, C. Hamlen, Esq,
Eugene Conrad, Chairman County Commits
sioners, and perhaps others.
John Fries, Esq, c. H. Fogle and others
| opposed this measure and submitted plan
for repairing the present building, the cost
| of which will not exceed $4,000, it is thought.
ent building soma 25 feet to the north, with
wings on the east and west; which will give
a large court room, with consultation and
jury rooms above and the large rooms be-
low fof the Clerk and Register, with vaults
for the county records in addition to the
present arrangement This plan was adop-
ted, the justices from the country being al
most unanimously in favor of it. On motion
committee of three, Jas. A. Gray, c. Ham,
len, Esq, and Geo. E. Nissen. were appoint
ed to advise with and aid the County Com
missioners in carrying out the plan.
1t is believed that this expense can be met
without levying any special tax The Com
missioners think that from ST. 900 to $4,000
can be spared from the funds Of the present
year, and that by another year or SO the debt
could be finally liquidated.
Ifthis plan i. carried out the inside ar
rangements will be convenient and commo-
dious, as good, perhaps, as could be planned
for new building. The outside appearan-
ces, at best, will be shabby. II, however,
the present building is to be unroofed/ and
raised higher, and the addition is well de-
signed and executed it viii be an improve
ment on the present building by large
majority. 1t would have been very crafty
ing to many of our citizens, especially the
citizens of Winston from whom more than
half the tax would have come. to haye
building in keeping with the other i'm
provements of our county and town. But
the majority were not willing to make an
outlay of $4,000 more for ornament
merely and the majority are generally
right.

Somewhat of a Mystery.


On last. Thursday evening a shooting
match took place on the Northeastern sub
urbs of Winston. A large crowd attended
and among the number were. Nathanial
Snlpes and his son-in-1aw Bob Hundley
who On returning home alone, became
involved in difficulty, when Hundley
knocked Snipes down two or three times.
Both were said to be under the influence of
whiskey but passed on without any furthur
trouble except harsh words until they
reached the beef market OF Snipes when
the two again became enraged and were in
the act OF entering into another combat
as Officer Bessent separated them and
sent each to his respective home Snipes
went to the store of his son Frank, inform
ing him of the difficulty he had had and
made mention Of the wound inflicted above
one eye as giving him pain. He then went
home and retired. Some time during the
night member of the family discovered
that he was dead. The news was spread and
soon Sheriff Boyer and number of officers
went to the home of Hundley and informed
him that he was charged with the murder
of Snipes, whereupon he was carried to the
Jail until a further hearing.
Early Friday morning, Coroner FogIe
summonsed a jury and in company with
Drs. Gray and Dalton, went to the house
OF the dead man and made the post nortem
examination. At two o'clock Friday even
ing, Hundley was given hearing at the
Court-House, and after the evidence was
given, the jury decided that Snipes came to
his death from heart disease, though accel-
Grated from the stroke received from the
hands of Hundley. Hundley was then bound
over to the next term of court in a bond of
$500, and in default of said bond, he was
again placed in Jail.
The funeral of Snipes was conducted at
the N. P. Church Monday evening by Rev.
H A. Brown, after which his remains were
inferred at Union Grove Chapel. The de-
ceased was about sixty years of age.

THE PEACEFUL BISMARCK

Bismarck rises to remark that
Germany IS anxious to be at peace
with all the world, but adds signif-
cantly that she has a million Of men
who are ready to put her on a still
further peace footing il necessary.
Bismarck, while continuing his
peaceful speech, tells the world that
Germany can whip any other nation
because the Lord is on her side.
He feels Just as Napoleon did when
he said the Lord was on the side OF
the party with the most artillery.
Bismarck would not put such conf
dence in the Lord if he had not al
rea.y counted up his artillery.
The APPEALS advice to the rest
OF Europe is that it is not healthy to
force into a fight the man most
anxious for peace; he is apt to be
fighter from the. jump.

utilized il some fashion. either for for
