The Winston Daily is glad to learn
that the Mt. Airy bank suspension was
only a temporary matter, and was the
result of unnecessary excitement about its
stability. 1t is true its doors were closed
for a few days on account of a heavy u
made by its depositors, but this was only
temporary. On Wednesday the bank re-
sumed business, announcing its ability to
meet all obligations. There has been a
slight change in its officials. Mr.. w.
Fulton has been elected President upon
the resignation of MI. Mathews. Mr.. J.
NJ. helms is still retained as Cashier.

S-The United States Senate, by procla-
nation of the President, convened in
extra session yesterday for the purpose
Of participating in the Inauguration cere-
monies. The wording of the proclama-
ton is as follows: "Now. therefore, /
Grover Cleveland, President of the United
States, do hereby proclaim and declare
that al extraordinary occasion requires
the Senate of the United States to con-
enc at the Capitol, in the city of Wash
ington, on the 4th day of March next, at
II o'clock noon, of which all persons who
shall at that time be entitled to act as
members of that body are hereby required
to take notice."
The people of Fayetteville are pre-
pairing the "cotton platform" and other
wise arranging for the Pearson revival
meetings which are to be held there this
spring. It is a strange fact that in this
day Of Christian enlightenment, when
every city and town has its spacious
houses of worship, nc regularly established
place can be found large enough to at all
accommodate the great crowds who flock
to hear this wonderful preacher. And
yet in a days travelyo will not find amore
ulnprepossessing man, in appearance. But
of one thing be assured-if you hear him
once you will hear him again.
M. George W. Hinshaw tells a repre-
sentative of Winston Republican that there
is now one thousand hands at work on the
Wilkesboro and Mocksville extensions.
Track laying has been completed to Rural
Hall and extended at present date one
and one-half miles beyond. It is the
intention of the Richmond & Danville
Company, to transfer the High Point &
Asheboro force to the Wilkesboro line at
an early day and to complete the Road to
Wilkesboro by February, 1890. These are
encouraging facts and will be good news
to all along the line. The company can
complete the road if they feel so disposed
and it certainly seem as if this is their in
tention.
We are informed that there is a man
in Arson county giving his name as John
j. Williamson and stating that he lived in
Raleigh m years, was County School
Examiner, &c. He processes now to be
collecting money from the English Gov
eminent for the descendants of the people
of North Carolina, South Carolina and
Virginia, whose ancestors in England
have died. We have received inquiries
about him, in answer to which we have
to say, we know nothing about him, and
cannot find out anything about him in
Raleigh, except that no man by that name
was ever County School Examiner of
Wake county, Make him show his Gre
dentials before you trust him.
The New York Independent gives this
unique picture of Amelie Rives, the author
of The Quick or the Dead: "The face.
and head are small and well shaped, the
nose a high, straight line, coming down to,
meet a mouth and chin full Of character,
the lips well shapen, and the chin firm and
square. The eyes are the great beauty of
the face, dark and long, almond shaped
enough to remind one of Eastern eyes,
