Kind Words for Winston.

Mr.. J. L. May. of the Germanton Times,
paid Winston visit few days since, and
in the last issue of his paper he says that
on rising to the lonely pinnacle of the dis
tant Pilot he saw the glittering spires of
Winston, and beheld her towering wall
through the wavy foliage of Intervening
forests, He says more:
GAS we entered this metropolis of For
syth, our attention was called to the new
factories, warehouses and dwellings which
had been built since our last visit to this
stately city The whirr of wheels, the hum
of spindles and the clatter of rolling streets
were but the falling footsteps and gleeful
voice of Progress, as he hurried to unlock,
with the key of fortune, the golden entrance
to the harvest fields of permanent prosper
ity. During our stay we met many of the
business men, and all seemed to be very
hopeful of Winston's future. Conversing
with Mr.. S. E. Allen, he said that she was
not going to be left; that the building of
the r. & S. road was dead certainty"

"a fs.uafe Lecture
On Saturday 1t was announced through
cirellar@ ana tie D9yg thai Rev. J. T. Bag
sell, D. =, t1el9tlrh The solicitation OF his
friends, had consented to deliver lecture
in Browns Hall at $50 o'clock on Sunday
evening. The news spread, and various
opinions we're expressed as to the size of the
audience that would greet the speaker upon
the occasion-but none doubted that the
lecture would be sound and logIcal--just
such one as it was.
When the hour arrived the hall was two
thirds filled with citizens The lecture
was opened with prayer by Rev J.. III.
White, after which the speaker announ-
ced that he was there through the request
of his friends, and that it was not his pur.
pose to preach sermon, bnt to give a lee
ture ON "The Sympathies of Religion" or
"The Adaptation of the Christian Religion
to meet the Wants of the Masses
His words were strong, appropriate and
touching. His illustrations, which he
chose from the Old and New Testament.
were clear and concise. In plain, but elo-
quent language he spoke Of the warmth
with which we should strike hands with our
fellow-man that the people try to reach
the masses too much by machinery while
we should endeavor to reach them with
charity and sympathetic love. He said
that the world was controlled by emotions.

burdens. Among his closing remarks, which
were strong and touching, he said. among
other things, that the world didn't need
eloquence nor grandeur like it did sympa-
thy.
We have heard but one expression.
regarding the lecture, which was to the
effect that it was grand effort. Many have
said that it was the finest lecture ever de-
liyered in Winston. Mr.. w. B. Glenn, who
sat spell-bound as it we've, throughout the
entire discourse, says that it was the grand
est thing he ever listened tor and that he
would gladly hear the same lecture again.
Mr.. Glenn is one who is competent to pass
an opinion on anything he hears, and he
| didn't hesitate Monday to express his opin-
ion ON the effort of Sunday We agreed
with Mr.. Glenn when.he said that the DR..
was due the thanks of the community for
his eloquent effort.
There is desire among number of our
people to hear DR.. Bagwell repeat his lect-
| ure again, and, judging from the sentiments
expressed, the hall would be crowded
should he decide to repeat it.
We are reliably informed that the Doct or
has number of cdifying discourses in
store, and If the people ofWinston desire it
he will again lecture before them at a later
day.

Struck For Higher Wages.

Two crowds of hands made strike on
the Railroad, Monday. They were both at
work near the city. The first crowd refused
to go to work in the morning, while the
latter refused to return to their work at one
o'clock. The reason assigned by them for
the strike was that the price paid them was
too small. The price given tn EN- was 80
cents per day, while the negroes wanted
$1.00. We are of the opinion that the
men acted unwisely, for we are informed
that the r. &. D. Company have promised
TO raise wages soon to the amount desired.
Should they now raise the price, the infer
enceis that the Company will secure other
men-Wilrn those who went out On strike

day noon upon an agreement 10 work twelve

Why, the thought struck us that if work

few weeks, it would be but short while,
comparatively speaking, when the old iron
horse would be sounding its glad tldings to
the people in the Estate of Wilkes Carts
and wheelbarrows caught our eye all along
the line, giving assurance that the work was
progressing rapidly. We were not informed
as to the number ofhands employed, but the
amount of work done told us that no few

The strike of the two squads of hands
Monday will deter the work but little. as
there are others who will gladly take their
places. At Wilkesboro, the Chronicle says
that work is progressing satisfactorily.

HOW MEN DIE.

If we know all the methods of approach
adopted by an enemy we are the better enabled
to ward off the danger and postpone the mo-
ment when surrender becomes inevitable. In
many instances the inherit strength of the bo-
dy suffices to enable it to oppose the tendency
toward DEATH Many however have lost these
forces to such an extent that there is little or
no help. In other cases little aid to the
weakened Lungs will make all the difference
between sudden death and many years of use
full life. Upon the first symptoms of a Cough,
Cold or any trouble of the Throat or Lungs,
give that old and we1l-known re1nedy-Bos1
chee's German Syrup, careful trial. 1t will

TWO YEAR OLD BABY.
He Has Bursted His Brooches and Is
Still Healthy and Growing.

Every now and then that veteran
Snowman. P. T. Barnum, brings out
new sensation. Now it is the
double headed calf, then horse that
is born arithmetician and again
some man that can twist himself
into forty knots, turn sixteen sumer-
saults backwards and pick tune ON
the guitar with his toes. All of
Barnum's attractions are wondered
at, but if we were to tell you that
right here in Winston there is a
curiosity in the business circle that
Barnum himself would wonder at
you would be amazed.
It is even so. A business house
which succeeds is d rarity, but when

Just as the town ilas prospered her
business men have grown and flour

been phenomenal. For instance,
Messrs. Fuller & Durham came
here two years ago, April / 'S6,
commencing business in the Liberty
block. On March 1, 'S7 they NOV

the baby has grow rapidly, and on
the first day of this month their rap

Work on the descriptive review of Win
ston-Salem is progressing finely, and DR..
Robbins is especially gratifed with the
pleasant reception he has thus far met with
at the hands of our business men on his
rounds for information and support of the
enterprise. The proofs before us are a suf-
fcient guarantee of the value of the work
and the doctors merit as a true historian.
His articles are not written upon the highly
imaginative and overdrawn basis, but from
careful, matter-of-fact standpoint and the
circulation of 10000 copies of work of
this character cannot fail to accomplish
great good for this section of country. We
trust the business men of the Twin-City
will all pull together to make the enterprise
grand success.
