ANY House in North Carolina !

Now, all we ask is little investi-
CATION on your part to see if what
we say is not the truth. IF it is,
are we not entitled to your CON-
fidence? If not the truth, you owe
it to yourselves and your neighbors
to expose our fallacies. We claim
that we brought down the prices of
dealers in other brands of Fertilizers
this is a fact which is evident to
most of you. Again, we claim that
we sold Fertilizers at much less
profit than any dealer here; and in
proof of this, we will refer you to
the Bulletin issued by the State
Board Of Agriculture, giving the
analyses of the different brands of
Fertilizers sold in the State, and
their worth; and, and according to
this, we sold our goods at from $500
10 $500 per ton less than other
goods sold here, having an analysis
lower than ours-thereby proving
conclusively that we sold at a much
less profit than other dealers. Well,
says one, there is no truth in the fig
ures given by the State Chemist.
That being the case, why do you
keep him employed at large salary?
But, we claim that his tests are
true basis upon which to judge of
the merits of the different Fertilizers,
and if it was not for him the State
would be flooded with worthless stuff

Old Dominion GuanO and
Farmers Friend Fertilizer!
FOR FINE TOBACCO!
Registers High Grade Acid
Phosphate. For Grain, &c.

These three brands we have sold,
and we confidently claim for them a
record second to none. We have
made strict inquiry of those who
bought of us as to their merits, and
the testimonials in every instance are
very fiattering. We haven't had
single complaint. Many farmers
say they used it, side by side with
other and higher cost grades, and
that it is as good as any and in many
instances better. We want no bet
ter record for it than it has been
made wherever used. Now ABOUT
PRICES: Our position is this: IF
the farmer can increase the yield and
enhance the value Of his products
by using Fertilizers, then the more
he uses the better it is for hun and
for the merchant. Consequently
your interests and our interests
are identical, and anything we
can do to help you will behelping
ourselves, and it stands to reason
that the cheaper we sell to you
the more you can buy, hence the in
creased benefit to both of us is evil
dent. We claim, without fear of
honest contradiction, land we believe
our past record will bear us out in
the assertion) that we have shown
more willingness to do, and have
done more towards bringing down
the necessaries Of the farmers than

the Walnut Cove Graphic that there
was a new mail route being establish
ed from Kernersville via Vance's,
White Roads and Fuel Fulton's to
Goodwill. Since the mail has been
carried on the R. g. S. r. R. it has cut
them off, and they have to come from
White Road to Walkertown after the
mail. The name of the post office at
Vance's has not been decided on as

A BOLD Robbery.
Burglars Enter Two Winston Jewelry
& Z 8 q Stores

6u1&idIS EutcL Ayo winston JeWeuy
ksSF Stores
y On Sunday night or early Monday
morning burglars entered two jewelry
stores on Main street, in the very
heart,of this city
They gained an entrance into Bev-
| ans jewelry store by smashing the
front window, and into w. r. Vog-
ier's by prizing off the wire guard,
smashing hole through the glass
door aud then reaching the chain
which pulls the bolt from within.
A lady in the hotel opposite heard
the falling glass, but supposed that
the wind had blown it out of some
window. No one else was aware OF
it till day-break. For boldness it
surpasses any burglary ever COM
mitted in this city.
Fortunately the thieves made way
with very little plumber. For some
unknown reason they became fright
ened and left before they could secure
the booty. Mr.. Bevan found n valise
in his store containing about 500
worth of goods which they had left
behind when they fed and some
more goods were discovered on Il
goods box in the rear of Capt. j. E.
Gilmer's store.
The loss to Mr.. Bevan is not over
$25, and Mr.. Vogler misses only
three necklaces and a revolver, all to-
gether not being worth over 80 or
SIS.
Yesterday afternoon it was ascer-
tanned that a negro named John Reb
HALEY had been selling articles of
jewelry, and policeman was put on
his track. He was captured in North
Winston and is now in Jail. The ar
.ticles which he sold have been identi-
fed as part of the stolen property.
The policemen now think they are
on the trail of Hailey's accomplish.
Good Effec the r. r. Has on Rockford.
Mr.. j. g. Burrus, one of the leading
men of Surry, and landlord of Rock
fOrd's hotel, was in Winston last week
on business. Since the coming OF the
railroad to Rockford, his house has
been crowded with g1ests, and Mr..
B. is now adding more rooms to his
already commodiouS building.
Rockford is crowded with visitors
and is looking up, as there is d fur
niture store recently opened up there,
and three new store houses are being
built and will be filled with goods as
soon as completed. The people of
Rockford are rejoicing over the COM
ing of the railroad, and are taking
advantage of the conveniences which
it gives them.
The passenger train will run to Ell
kin in a short time-in fact as soon
as the hands can finish surfacing up
the road. They are now about half
way between Rockford and Elkin.
The passenger train will run to Elkin
about the 10th of May
There was only one bar-room in
Rockford, and that was broken into
and literally cleaned up. on the night
of the 10Th ult.

THE WEEK IN REALTY
The Sales Foot Up Nearly Two
Hundred Thousand.
THE BUILDING BOOM STILL ON.
gestion for Street at the Exchange
Business Notes.

The real estate market during the past
week has not shown as much activity as
during several preceding weeks, but real
estate men assign the cause as being the
continued fine weather which kept many
OF our home capitalists looking after their
mining and stock interests. Several deal
ers yesterday remarked that they would
pay good price for a healthy blizzard.
The attention of men who are interested
in mines and mining is drawn in that chan
mel by the increase in activity, and the fine
fall weather continues the building boom
which is consuming large amounts of CAPT
tai. When these avenues are closed, then
real estate investments will be in greater
demand than at present.
The building boom appears to not vet
have reached its height. Many new build
ings have been erected during the summer
ana fall and still the demand for houses
continues, the new residences built being
nearly all rented before completed Talk
ing about buildings, gentleman in CONVEX
sation with reporter yesterday said:
"Do you know where l can get good
loan for $40 ,000?''
"What do you propose to do with that
amount of money?''
u have man who owns piece of bust
ness property who wants to start right in
to erect large business block if he can
borrow that amount of money to put into
it. He has faith in the city and is putting
every dollar he can save into property and
buildings here"

A Suggestion on Street Improvement.

There is no part of the city which pos
sesses greater possibilities than the juno
ton of Main street and South Temple and
the district around there being as it is the
Immediate vicinity of the choicest and
wealthiest residence sections and with
quick transportation thereto.
In the Judgment of an observer, however,
an Improvement might be carried out here
which would add greatly TO the business
Importance of this corner and near by.
1t is a fact that much of the beauty and
attractiveness of the canyon is lost by
being shut out from view; buried in OBJ
scurity the result of narrow anG incon-
venient approaches. This pleasant and
healthful spot so near the heart of the city
needs to be opened up by good approaches.
No person will dispute this.
Is it then not worth the attention of pro-
perty owners around there to combine and
cut good street from the Neps corner
diagonally across the block to the n e.
corner there connecting with the State
road.
Thence a road meandering the creek
would open the neighborhood right up to
the canyon.
The improved value to follow such a
change would be big and cannotsbe figured
too high. In this way much of the north
bench travel which is now directed to the
State road can be brought to the hotel
corner for all time.
