REMINDER OF EASTER.
Maj. Smith Will Never Forget it-Cap-
sized in q Boat.

Maj. Smith Will Never Forget lt-Cap-
sized in a Boat.
Maj. s. Fl. Smith says that he never
forgets Easter Monday.
An incident occurred on that day in
1850 which he has never forgotten. In
company with J. p. Bowles, Alb. AL
spaugh, Frank Blum, Robt. T. Gray,
John W. Miller and Pervis Jackson,
he went to Brushy Fork Creek, east
of Winston. for boat ride on the
pond which has since been torn away
1t was a cool day, somewhat similar
to Monday. The boat was only large
enough for six people, but in order to
have some sport, John Miller, after
the others got in, turned the boat
over. The outfit looked like drowned
rats-and felt worse. The boys were
not long in going home in search of
dry clothes.
The seven boys went to the war and
proved to be gallant soldiers. Messrs.
Bowles, Alspaugh, Miller and Jackson
died fighting for their country. Only
three of the seven are left to tell the
story of the memorable Easter Mon
day of 1860. Maj. Smith is Winston's
assistant postmaster; Mr.. r. Il. Gray
is oae Of Raleigh's leading attorneys,
while Mr.. Frank Blum, "a brother of
Dr. j. A. Blum), is a successful mer-
chant of GreenVille, Tenn.

DISCUSSING NEW ENTERPRISES.

Doing Good Work.

Doing Good Work.
The Winston-Salem Merchants
and Traders Union promises to do
valuable work for the Twin-City's
growth and prosperity.
The object of the organization is
not only to make people pay their
honest debts, but to aid in every way
possible to build up the present enter
prises and to add new ones to the list.
A t recent meetings of the Union it
was deemed advisable by the members
that some effort should be taken to-
ward arrestlng persons charged with
house burning and motion was
made and unanimously passed that
the Union should cooperate with the
officers of the law and insurance
agents in bringing Max Cohen. a par
ty bound over to court on suspicion
OF setting fire to the TiSe building.
A paper was read relating to the
merchants of the two towns and the
farmers OF this section, showing the
material benefits to be derived by a
disposition on the part of the former
to patroniZe and create market for
the produce of the latter in our towns,
giving preference to home products to
| those of the West and encouraging the
local consumers to do the same.
The question of wheat and flour
were duly discussed and project for
mulated to organize company and
erect plant for the grinding of all
grain produced in this section, which
| would establish a home market, to
the advantage of both producer and
consumer. A mill for instance cost
| ing some $4,000, fully equipped,
would be required to meet the de mand

| The question of a cotton factory
was favorably advocated and the
| Union will in the near future give spe-
| cial attention to this matter.
| The telephone matter was also dis
cussed.

better satisfied with prices.
Sonoe old wrappers and filters were
