Prosp. IT. for . BaiIa,.s Boon.

The outlook is decidedly encoura>
eing for a building boom to strike
Winston-Salem upon the opening of
spring. In fact, there is already
no 'slouch" of "boom" on hand
now when you go to talking about
building. New dwellings are going
up all over the Twin City. and still
there is not a vacant house to be
found anywhere in either Winston
or Salem.
In East Winston, DR.. S. J. Monta-
que alone has contracted for the
erection of six or eight good dwell
lings.
This is as it should be. More
houses-and good ones too-are
needed. People are coming here
every week desiring to locate. Let
us be prepared to accommodate them
with both residences and houses for
business.
From what we can learn there are
to be several large factories erected
this year. We are informed that the
R. j. Reynolds Tobacco Company
are now having plans drawn for an
immense brick factory, which is to
be put under contract and erected
during 1891. Besides this one there
are several others who are consider
ing plans for factory buildings.
Let the building boom go on and
we will continue to reap a rich har-
vest of prosperity.

Burglary 1t Mount Airy.

DR.. w. S. Taylor, of Mt.Airy, was
here Saturday evening distributing
circulars descriptive of two bur-
glars, who, on Friday night, had en-
tered the residence of his father,
Mr.. Samuel Taylor, at that place,
and robbed his safe of So, $50. The
two thieves also choked Mrs. Taylor
umercifully and snatched $40 from
her person. Mrs. Taylor is said to
be very low from the effects of her
ill treatment.
The circular says that the bur-
glars were identified in the persons
of H. c.. Taylor, a nephew of Mr..
and Mrs. Taylor, and a fellow named
Stone. A reward of 500 is offered
for their capture. Harry Taylor is
about II years old, feet, 5 or 6
inches high; has dark hair, smooth
face and blue eyes. Stone is be-
tween 80 and 35 years old, about 5
feet s inches high. has small dark
mustache, small, round face, inclin.
ed to be round shouldered, and was
roughly clad, with patched elbows.
He came to Mount Airy with Harry
Taylor from Western Virginia.
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor are highly
respected, and the citizens of the
town are very much wrought up
about the matter. Diligent search
has and is yet being made for the
robbers.

The career OF G>n. VIM. T. Sher-
man is interesting in its military
aspect chiefly for MS famous march
to the sea, which did so much to de-
stroy the power Of the confederacy
by dividing it practically into halves
and spre aiding dismayand destruction
throughout the interior. He was q
bold, and many of the suffers thought
a ruthless commander, but his vigor
and energy were what were most
needed to supplement the work Of
Grant with his overwhelming legions.
General Sherman is a sturdy and
somewhat picturesque individuality,
and he will go down into history as
one of the great figures of the war.
Unlike his chief, General Grant, he
has been anything but taciturn, his
loquacity, indeed, has got him into
hot water on more than one occasion;
but it will be generally conceded,
even by the bitterest of his opponents
that he was a man of EXCEPTIONAL
qualities and great force of character.

A few weeks ago a negro named
Spencer Burton went to the office of
Messrs Miller Bros. and asked for
the envelope containing his money
as pay for a weeks services. The
book-keeper thinking that it was the
proper person responded to the dar-
keys request, but the right man soon
came in and asked for his pay. A
description of the fellow who got
the money was given but nothing
more was heard of him until few
days ago when he called at the Office
and asked for the same mans en-
velope. He was recognized by every
one in the Office as being the one
who played the trick. While aues-
tioning him, the proper man stepped
in who asked Burton what he was
there trying to draw his money for.
Burton was unable to make q salts
factory explanation. Some one said
catch him, but by the time the words
were uttered the negro was outside
the door ''hitting the grit at the
speed of railroad locomotive, and
nothing has been heard of him
since.

What the People want.

What the people want is honest
business. It is not honest business
to force a robber tariff upon us that
increases every workingman's living
expenses Is per cent. 1t is not hon
est business to contract the currency
SO that when debtor pays ST. he
pays more than he owes in the prin-
cipal, besides the interest. It is not
honest business to put the finances
of 81, OO0, 900 people under the con-
troll of 100 men in Wall street. It is
not honest business to outlaw silver
in the interest of few goldbugs. It
is not honest business to discriminate
in favor of the monopolists and
against the farmer every time.-At-
lanta Constitution.

THE FARMERS, ALLIANCE.
A TAX With Prominsnt Member Q
Forsyth on Its PRINCIPLES Etc

A TAX With Prominsnt Member of
Forsyth on It's Principles, Etc.
The Farmers Alliance in Forsyth
has n large membership. There are
men who belong to the organization
too who have strong faith in Alliance
principles. A few days ago the re-
porter met up with a prominent
member who said:
81 believe the Alliance has already
accomplished much good in some
States, and it promises to 10 more
if properly conducted.
There is some danger of hot heads,
SO to speak, getting into the organi-
zation and running it into the ground.
Already there is talk of third party
being started. This am opposed to,
and if such is done, l fear nothing
hut harm will result to the. Alliance.
We don't need any third party. The
principles of the Alliance coincide
with Democratic principles, therefore
it is not necessary for us to jump at
a thing we already have established. !"
THE NEW COURTHOUSE.
During the conversation, this same
tiller of the soil, drifted off on the
question of u NV courthouse for
Forsyth. He said:
81 lind that there is some objection
among the farmers regarding the
building of a new courthouse. This
l regret, for if there is anything the
county needs now it is creditable
courthouse. The one we have was
suitable for days gone bye, buo the
time has come when we must be pro
gressive, and the reputation Forsyth
has-being the banner county in the
State-her citizens cannot afford to
remain idle when it comes to inn
provements. 1 hope my farmer
brethren will soon realize the above
need, which will be as much honor to
the county as to Winston-Salsm.

A negro named Irwin Royal was
arrested one day last week upon
the charge of attempting to
steal gold watch from Messrs. W.
A. Baity & Bro, at their store on
Liberty street. Royal denied the
charge 1T first but afterwards ac>
knowledged that he had been en-
gagged in the theft business for some
fms. An officer accompanied the
negro to his room where he found
the following clocks and watches
which were stolen from the follow
ing merchants:
W, A. Raity & Bro, one opens
faced silver watph, D. s. Reid, one
watch; w. l.. Franklin, ono small
clock; Frank Brown, four watches;
D. p. Schouler, one gold watch.
The plan adopted to capture Roy al
by Messrs. Baity q Bro. was good
one. They attached small bell to
an open-faced gold watch in their
show case, and when the latter was
picked up the bell gave him away.
Onsrof tho clerks in the store caught
the negro who seemed utterly aston
ished 1T the unique manner in which
howas caught up with.
Royal is now in Jail thinking over
the business which placed him be-
hind the iron bars.
