They caught number of birds,

Farmers who have their tobacco on

AN EVENTFUL LIFE,
Mrs. Smales, Born IN Virginia, Dies o
Wound Received in Her Youth.


Wound Received in Her Youth.
ORANGE, N. j., Feb. 9-The death
Saturday afternoon, of Mrs. Thomas
Smales has brought to light an in.
terestiDg romance. Mrs. Smales was
a Miss Frances Dayton, of Virginia
Her mother died when she was five
years old. Her father married again
aud she was sent to The Gunnery,'
a celebrated school at Washington
Conn. She was remarkably pretty
girl and had many admirers.
When she was in her sixteenth year
ayoung SOutherner whose attentions
she had rejected shot her in the head
and the bullet WAS never extracted
A semi-paralysis of the left side was
an effect of the injury. Soon alter
graduation she came to Orange anG
entered the Western Union Telegraph
office to try electric shocks as a cure
and also to prove her, strength and
ability to study medicine. Her
physician discouraged the adoption
of the latter course, claiming tina
she had not strength enough to com
plete the course OF study. However,
she entered the Woman's Medical
College OF the New York Iufirmary
and graduated in 1876. she then
went to Germany, completed hel
medical studies and began practicins
in London, Eng.
While she was at school in Wash
ington, Conn, a strong friendship
sprang up between her and Thomas
Smales, which was for the tine
ended by the removal of the Smale>
family to Australia. Twelve years
ago Mr.. Smales came to this country
and esta blished himself as a photog
rapher at Brunswick, Ga. He sent
for Miss Dayton and they were
married. Mrs Smales began chart
table work. She succeeded in found
ing hospital in Brunswick and the
first training-school for nurses in the
South. Ali this time the bullet in
her head had been troubling her, and
at last her health gave away almost
entirely. She came back to Orange,
where she boarded with Mrs. Amelia
c. Bird, a lifelong friend. Last week
she was taken with commissions and
died Saturday

JUDGE wHITAKER'S SARCASM.
Will He Handle Forsyth's Commfs
sfoners With Gloves Off?

Will He Handle Forsyth's Commits
sfoners With Gloves Off?
From the Reidsviile Review
The special charge of Judge Whit
aker to the Grand Jury was in effect
that the most striking evidences Of
barbarianism in this State existed in
the cruel treatment of its paupers
and prisoners. Every man is inno-
cent in the eyes of the law unit |
proven guilty, yet he is punished for
an offense in advance by imprison-
menti in such jails as were to be found
in the State.
He had visited the Jail here and
was compelled to hurry out or vomit
and he consider ed that it would be a
mercy to shoot the prisoners con-
fined there as they were dying now
by degrees. He was heartily sick
and tired of asking grand juries to
1ndict county commissioners, as ali
the thanks he ever got was sere-
made out of town and anonymous
letters couched in most libelous Ian
guage and to be denounced by all the
little editors Of the country.
He found that a county commits
siOner was too great to be indicted;
: there was nothing olarge or SO fear
ful as a county commissioner. He
knows all the law-more than the
Judge who has made lifetime study
of it-and he, like Mahommet, con-
cludes that the law was not made Tor
him. 1t was not worth while to ask
any grand jury to indict such a
great man as a county commission
er, so he would only ask them not to
indict but to send them q neat bunch
of violets enclosed in a letter written
by their most expert penman on
violet scented, linen, gilt edged paper,
(not the commonrag product, dom
write on one side of the paper, then
turn over and write on the other
Chat is ''common'') but after filing
up one side commence on the other
| halt sheet, writing across the lines
and say that the grand jury most
humbly begs to be excused for adj
dressing their honorable body and
then go on and make your recon-
manner.
Place this letter with the violets in
a neat, square envelope and address
it to The Honora BILE, The Board OF
Commissioners of the County oi
! Rockingham" Don t send it through
the mails, but send it by a messenger,
mounted on the finest horse you can
get. Do every thing regardless of ex
pense, SO it is stylish. He begged
them not to indict, as he did not care
to be serenaded out of town; he was
anxious to leave the town quietly
! and peacefully.

COME BACK TO HIS FIRST LOVE.
True Love Always Comes Home co
ROOss-A War Romance.

HOOss-A war Rom ancS.
At the beginning of the late war
there lived in this county a young
man named Edward Martin, says the
Mt Airy News. Like most other
young men of his age he had
sweetheart, whose name was Mar
garet Gwyn. They were engaged
but Martin went into the army and
the marriage was delayed. In 1862
Martin came home on furlOugh and
it was arranged that the marriage
should take place while he was at
home. The license was procured and
every preparation made for the
mar riage when old Mr.. Gwyn sud
denly interposei and prevented the
Il. arriage. Mr.. Gwyn at that time
had two sons Flaw in the army and
their wives and children were at his
home. and he objected to having an
other family on his hands. BY such
reasoning as this he persuaded the
young people to postpone their mar
riage until after The war. Vowing
eternal consistency to each other
young Martin and his fiance parted,
the former returning to his place in
the army. He was in the 21sG North
Carolina regiment and at the battle
of Cedar Mountain he was captured
| by the Federals and sent to North
ern prison.
" lille there he decided that he was
tired of fighting and he resolved to
do no more of it. So he renounced his
allegiance to the Southern Confed-
eracy and took the oath of allegiance
to the United States government.
| He was then released and went to
Washington to live There he went
| into business and prospered. A few
| years atterward he married. Children
grew up around him and reached the
age OF manhood and womanhood.
In all this time he had little informa
| ton of what was going on at his old
home in faraway Surry county. The
woman to whom he had plighted his
troth was apparently forgotten.
Martins disappearance was for a
long time a mystery to his Surry
friends, and as year after year passed
and he did not return hope died in
the heart OF his fair fance. She
waited long, hoping against hope
until her heart grew sick with the IN
certainty.
But one day another lover came
a'wooing, dashing, debonair Ira
Roark. He was bold lover and SO
successfully did he plead his cause
that the fair Margaret yielded to his
persuasions and became his wife
Several happy years followed and
then ROark tell i'll anu died.
Some time previous to his death
Mrs. Martin had died but neither
Mrs. Roark nor Martin knew that
the other was free to love and be
loved again. Last summer Martin
resolved to crafty an intense long
ing to visit once more thescenes OF
his childhood, and one day, thirty
years after his departure, he appeared
on the streets of Mt. Airy. The
sequel is easy to foresee. Martin
and Mrs. Roark met, the love of their
youth was renewed, and a few days
ago they were happily married, the
ceremony being performed by Rev
r. M. Lofts. Immediately after the
marriage they left for Washington,
the groom's home, where, let Us
trust, they will spend many years OF
happiness.

BUSINESS.
Trade Conditions in the South Re-
ported by Bradstreets's.


Business is quiet at Charleston,
except that shipments of fertilizers
are heavy. Country merchants are
buying conservatively of Nashville
jobbers, who are not trying to push
sales, and II similar report is received
from Memphis. Atlanta jobbers are
shipping with some freedom, and in
dustridl establishments there are
more active. Cotton factors at
Savannah are holding for higher
prices, and quotations for turpentine
are advancing. Collections are bet
ter at Mobile, but at Birmingham
trade is without feature. The ap-
proach of the annual festival at New
Orleans has stimulated business, and
exports of bulk corn are large. At
Galveston the wholesale movement
of dry goods and shoes is conspicu-
Gus. Baltimore reports favorable
prospects in dry goods. Orders are
chiefly from the South. In clothing
the season shows a reduction of one
third. Collections fairly satisfactory.
Orders for shoes come slowly. Banks
take all good commercial paper
offered them.
