old, six feet tall, spare, weighs about
155 pounds, dark complexion, dark

zens. He is gritty, nervy and uncom-
municative. But for the fact that he
was recognized by at least two of our
citizens. his real name would proba-
bly, never have been learned. He was
raised and lived in the southern part
of Caswell county, near the Alamance

LUTIONS OF THANKS TO MIR. Il.
n. DUKE.

with the best result to humanity. Dur
ham is fortunate in having within its
borders a gentleman who is wonder
fully gifted both in the art of making
and placing it where the best results
will be attained for his fellow-man.
Mr.. B. n. Duke is the largest individ-
ual taxpayer in North Carolina, and
with this wonderful aggregation OF
wealth at his command he is going
about doing good in the true spirit of
his Lord and Master.
He has from time to time made mag
nifcent donations to Trinity College
for laying off and beautifying the
Park. A committee from the two So
eieties recently reported the following
resolutions, which were enthusiast
cally and unanimously adopted:
Whereas, Mr.. b. n. Duke recently
donated large sum of money for i'm
proving and identifying our College
Campus, and,

shown by Mr. Duke in making the dona-
ton as that of a noble, generous-heart-
ed gentleman, having the best inter
