"a False Rumor Concerning Queen
Victoria's Health.

Great surprise was created in Lon
don Saturday afternoon by the re-
ceipt of kilograms from New York in
curing about the health OF Queen
Victoria, and saying that reports
were circulating in the United States
that her Majesty was seriously i'll.
The surprise was heightened by the
fact that SO far as known in London
her Majesty's health was perfect, and
there was not even q breath of a
rumor that she was i'll.
Immediately on receipt of the tele-
grams from abroad u dispatch was
sent to Barmoral, the Queens castle
in the highland, where she is at pres
ent sojourning, mentioning that such
reports were in circulation and asking
for a response reporting the condi-
ton of her health. An answer was
soon received from General Pom
somby. private secretary to the
Queen, declaring that the reports of
her illness were totally uufounded,
and that she was quite we'll.

The Way II G0cs-:he Dollar.

The colored people have practical
illustrations pointed out to them
every day regarding reckless ex-
penditure of their hard earned dol
lars. Many of them pay out enough
at the Mayors court to support
themselves handsomely through the
winter months. A prominent to
bacco man ufacturer tells US Of one
instance that came under his own
observation that is proof sufficient
as to how many throw away their
money. A darkey who was in his
employ came to him and drew the
full amount due him thirty dollars.
The next thing he did was to come
down town, get drunk, loose ten
dollars. go back home and beat his
wife. The next heard from the old
darkey was at the Mayors Office
where he had to ''shell out' about
twelve dollars more for the offense,
besides losing a day from his work.
The above are facts and we print
them as lesson for our colored
friends, whether they heed it or not.

Cruelty to Animals.

The following from the Norfolk
Ledger shows that the society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to animals in
that city is full Of life and energy:
A coiored express driver for the
United States Express Company was
ts-raigned in the Police Court this
morning on complaint of citizen,
who charged that the prisoner whip
ped a horse on Main street yesterday
simply because the horse didn't
stand where the dri yer left it The
defence was that the horse occasion
ally moves off when left standing, as
it was yesterday, and that when
whipped about the legs on such occa-
sions the effect is to make the ami
NAL stand where left. The driver al
so insisted that he didn't whip the
animal cruelty. The Justice decided
that the services of an unmanageable
horse ought to be dispensed with, or
correcting its fault adopted. He ina
posed a fac of SIS and costs upon the
driver.

A County of Lawlessness and Crime
Extreme Steps by Governor Holt.

A situation of affairs at once seri-
Gus and deplorable exists in Pitt
county and Gov. Holt is forced to
take extreme steps to put an end to
the lawlessness. Eleven years ago
Gen. Bryan Grimes was assassinated.
and since that time incendiarism has
been a common crime in Pitt A
man named Parker, who had boosted
that he killed Gen. Grimes was hanged
to bridge by the indignant people
OF Washington. Mr.. J. j. Laughing
house, a magistrate, was active in
his efforts to ferrit out the murderer
OF Gen. Grimes. For this cause he
has been one of the victims of the in
cendiaries. He has lost a dwelling,
gin house, three barns, a peanut
barn, and a tobscco barn. Mrs.
Grimes has lost barn with $1,000
worth of peanuts stored in it; Mr..
Jack Grimes. a large tobacco barn.
Thefts are of nightly occurance and
even murder is attempted. 4 man
named Proctor was shot at. There
were grounds for belief that a negro
hathCO IeittiT Olu Tile SuOOtIuS. MT.
Laughinghouse, a magistrate, tried
him and appeared against him.
Since that time he has lost a barn,
his stables have been entered, teams
taken out and used to haul away his
cotton and other property in the
night time. The result of this law
lessness is. that the insurance COM
panies have canlceled their policy on
property in that section and that
people from other parts of the State
who dc signed going there to engage
in truck farming or tobacco growing
will not go. One man who had
rented 4 store having been burned.
Governor Holt, in view of these ag-
gravatcd offences and this terrible
state of a fairs has offered a reward
of 5000. 5000 each for the unknown
persons Who burned the property of
j. j. Laughinghouse, Jack Grimes
and Mrs. j. H. Sanders. The latter
is the sister-in-law of the late Col w.
l.. Sanders, and she has, though
an ~ rely inoffensive person, suffered

The Motz Trial at Shelby.

The trial of the Motz boys of Lin
colnton, to be held at the present
term of court at Shelby, will proba-
bly, be really famous one. Col.
Motz, father of the indicted boys,
has rented house in Shelby and
will move there with his family du-
ring the trial. Court opens there
to-day, and Judge Graves will pre-
side. The Motz boys are charged
with the murder of their cousin,
Sam Motz, and it grew out of the
downfall of their sister, though
Sam Motz was not the one against
whom the vengeance of the boys
was directed. So great is the inter-
est manifested in the trial that many
people of Lincoln county will go to
Shelby, prepared to camp there du-
ring the week.-Charlotte News.

w. l.. HILLS GREETING.

take this method of introducing
myself to the citizens of Winston-Sa-
lem and the surrounding country. I
came mere to engage in the merean-
tile business, but before deciding to
do so 1 carefully investigated your
city and section and satisfied myself
that this was one of the best towns
in the State and it's people the most
progressive in the South. I also
learned that Winston contained and
sustained the largest number of man
afacturing enterprises of any city III
the world of like number of inhab-
itants 1t was knowledge of these
facts that led me to seek home a.
mong you and to cast my lot with you
for wall or woe. I am here with heart
and hand ready and willing to aid
and abet you in every laudable enter
prise that has your sanction and APP
proval. In my mercantile business
1 shall confne myself to dry goods,
notions, shoes, hats, etc., a full and
carefully selected line and will always
be found in my store. The principal
upon which shall conduct my bust
ness will be strictly cash-a rule l
shall not deviate FROM believing
that all fair minded, honest men will
recognize in this the only true system
by which equal and exact justice can
be done to all customers, as by this
method we shall not be compelled to
charge an honest man high price
in order to help us sustain the losses
incurred by the bad debts made by
dishonest men which must be the
case with all who do time or credit
business, it matters not how nor to
whom. In my store one mans dollar
will buy just as much goods as an
others and that will be all that a
merchant can afford to sell for it,
who proposes to do an honest and
Legitimate business. If you will
price my goods I am quite sureI can
easily demonstrate to you the force
of my reasoning as low values speak
more eloquently than loud logic.
The trade of Winston-Salem and
the surrounding country are invited
to call and examine my stock. Let
me show you what I have got and
how cheap can sell it to you.

/ w. L. HILL,
