The Modern Tobacco Barn.

We desire specially to call the at
tentiOn of the farmers of the Pied
mont section to an article of recent
introduction which will be of much
value to them. 1t is the Modern
Tobacco Barn, manufactured by that
clever gentleman, Capt. w. H. Snow,
of High Point. We have examined
the barn while curing tobacco, and it
has our highest endorsement. We
h ave known farmers in one season to
more than clear the cost of the barn
by the increased value of their tobac-
co as compared with the old style.
1t is as much an improvement on the
old log barn as locomotive is on an
Ox-cart.
The currenf of air and the temporal
ture are perfectly under the control
and an intelligent man will never
make a failure with it. We have
seen primings Ordinarily of little
value) cured SO well in this barn that
they brought 10 cents per pound.
No intelligent, progressive farmer can
afford to be without it. In saying
these things we are actuated solely
by a desire to assist the piedmont
farmers and bring to their notice an
invention that will make money for
them. For any further information
desired write to Capt. w. III. Snow,
at High Point

Missionary Society Anniversary.

The tenth anniversary of the Wo-
mans Missionary Society of Cente-
nary Methodist church was appro-
priately celebrated at that church
last Sunday night.
Eugene E. Gray, Esq, read the
report of the secretary ofthe Society,
which was a most gratifying and en-
couraging one.
After a few appropriate remarks
by Pastor Norman, the address of
the evening was delivered by Prof. w.
A. Blair. The address was a most
timely one and was delivered in a
manner that abounded in facts re-
speeding the heather nations-show-
ing, among other things that there
are just ten heather for every men,
Der of the Christian races to look
after-and was gilded with the pure
English this gentleman handles in a
most eloquent manner. We heard
the address highly complimen ted by
many ladies and gentlemen while
leaving the church building.
The collection which was subse-
quently taken up to further the work
of this Society, whose special field at
present is Mexico, was q very liberal
one.

Prof Blair at Mt. Airy.

The Mt Airy News contains com
plimentary notice of the recent lee
ture of Prof W. A. Blair at that
place, from which we extract: 'The
subject of the lecture was, elements
of Success. MIR. Blair's reputation
as q lecturer is not confined to one
community, nor, even, to the boun-
diaries of his State; so description
of his style in this place is uncalled
for. The lecture was very interesting
and highly instructive. Prof. Blair
is an eloquent man. His is the face
of scholar and an elocutionist com
bined. He thinks, feels and acts and
compels his hearers to think and
feel. We enjoyed the lecture very
much, and, we doubt not, ours was
the common experience of the au-
dience.'

Friendship, Love and Truth.
God is Love- What is Truth? Gods

God is Love. What is Truth? Gods
Word
Rev. j. 81. Gordon, pastor of Ed
enton-street NJ E. church, Raleigh,
delivered before select audience at
Browns Opera House last Tuesday
night, an able, eloquent and instruc-
tive address on Odd Fellowship.
His remarks, lasting one and d
half hours, were listened to with
marked attention, and thoroughly
enjoyed by all present, many ladies
being among the number.
Mr.. Gordon explained true friend
ship by the act of the Samaritan who
lifted up and administered to the
stranger who had fallen by the way
side. He depicted God as the high
est embodiment of Love, and de-
clared that Gods word was Truth
itself
The Bible, he said, was the basis of
Odd Fellowship-take from it the
Bible, and the whole superstructure
would fall
Mr.. Gordon is a most interesting
speaker, and was very gracefully in
troduced by A. HI. Eller, Esq.

During the whole exercises, lasting

The exercises were interspersed with

The idea of the exercises was to
teach the children patriotism; to
celebrate the day; to interest the
children and give them a good time.
The pupils applauded heartily from
beginning to end, presented the
speakers with bouquets, laughed at
all the mild jokes and said they
'never did have so much fun
The children undoubtedly enjoyed
the day as spent much more heartily
than they would have appreciated
the other kind of holiday" And
Supt Blair knew this in advance.

Remarkably Sudden Death.

Dr. j. G. Ector tells us of the re-
markably sudden death of a negro
man named Howard Washington,
which occurred last Saturday The
doctor had been summoned to treat
him for a deep cold which he had con-
tracted, and upon entering the room
turned from the patient a moment to
get something from his medicine case
He had hardly done so when, hear
ing a noise, he looked in the direction
of the bed to see the patient in a
cramped position. The negro was
dead before he could step to the bed
side, a distance of less than six feet.
His heart had ceased beating, he had
no pulse, and from the lancet wound
he made in his arm no blood flowed.
He died from paralysis of the heart
and the doctor says it was the most
Sudden" death he ever witnessed,
and he has been prsscticing medicine
] for nearly 35 years.

Schooner.
New LONDON Comm, November 3d.
The revenue steamer Dexter arrived this
morning with Captain Jenny and fourteen
of the crew of the Old Dominion Line
steamer Manhattan, also the dead body OF
Chief Engineer Hayden.
The Captain reports that the steamer was
bound from New York for West Point, Va.
Wednesday morning when of Fenwick
Island light, coast of Maryland. the steamer
was run into by an unknown four-masted
schooner and the Manhattan sank soon
after Those brought here on the Dexter

Hayden, who was drowned. The rest of
the crew and three passengers, nineteen all
told, got on life raft and it is not known
whether they have been saved or not.

at least fifteen lives are supposed to be

ture. "People who publish such articles
are criminals and should be punished as
such. They are contemptuous to the Court
and the community, and should not be per-
mitted to go unpunished. 1t was not the
province of the Judge to take notice of con-
tempts committed outside of Court, unless
properly brought before it by afidavits or
indictment for libel. People who write
seem not to fear punishment, as they think
the Courts are afraid to do so. But if such
cases are properly brought before me |
shall do my duty. Such outrageous pub
lications, such license on the part of the
press, seems to have resolved itself into
fourth department of the Government. 1t
can be endured and passed in silence, but
if permitted to continue we might as well
shut the doors of our Courts. However, l
do not see any evidence in the trial OF the
case to show that the jury was affected by
these articles"
Judge Shafter then proceeded TO review
portions of the evidence, and said that the
inmates of the theater had been grossly at
tackled, as also the character of the place.
He considered the reputation OF witnesses
put in Jeopardy by some of the questions
asked. The fact that the public authori-
ties sanctioned the theater and granted
license to sell liquor there was evidence
that it is not considered bad place. He
thought the evidence of Wallace alone suf-
ficient to justify the verdict. If he had
been assailed he had right to resist. If
the first shot struck the man in the breast
the following shots were of no consequence.
A step to one side would have carried Wal
lace out of harms way, or he could have
gone into the body of the theater. He de-
liberately approached the man when he
was lying on the floor and fired three shots
into his body. 81 cannot come to any
other conclusion but that the evidence JUS
titled the verdict"
Wallace was then told to stand up and
judgment was passed that he be confined in
the county jait until his execution. which
was fixed between the hours of II NJ. and

The Alleged Cronin Murderers in a
Bad Box.
CHICAGO, November 22d.-In the Cronin
trial to-day a witness was introduced to
impeach the credibility of the testimony of
Mrs Hoertel on behalf of the prosecution,
that she saw a man resembling DR.. Cronin
enter the Carlson cottage on the night of
the murder.
DIR. Edmund Andrews was asked hypo-
thetical question by the defense, if he could
form an opinion as to the cause of the
death of DR.. Cronin by given description
of wounds and abrasions found on the
body of the man taken from the catch
basin. He said no.
Jacob Lowenstein, partner of Coughlin's
on the police force, testified as to the exist
ence of enmity between Garrity, one of the
witnesses for the prosecution, and Coughlin.
Budenbender, the witness from Hoboken,
NJ, who yesterday testified that ii was not
a white horse which took DR.. Cronin away
May 4th, is under arrest. After Court ad-
journed this morning an officer, with the
prisoner, was going to the States Attorneys
Office when Qualey, one of the counsel for
the defense, endeavored to take the pris-
oner away, but the prisoner was safely
landed in the States Attorneys office.
Qualey told Budenbender he would be taken
care OF and to keep his mouth shut.
At the afternoon session Forrest COM
planned strongly to the Court of the
action of the State in dragging wit
ness Budenbender forcibly to the States
Attorneys Office on subpoena, and spoke
of an effort made by his partner Qualey to
restrain the officer from so doing. He had
promised the States Attorney last night
that he would keep Budenbender in the
city until the State had finished with him.
The States Attorney said he knew moth
ing of Budenbenders arrest until after he
was brought in, only knowing that an Or
dinary subpoena was out for him.
The matter was discussed at some
length, and the State and defense accused
each other of unfair means with witnesses.
The Court finally decided the matter was
not contempt, but said it was an outrage
on the personal liberty of Budenbender,
and probably grew out of the over-officious-
ness of officers
