WINSTON SALEM, N. O., Nov. 2.
A flag raising and presentation of
Bible to the Oentreville public school by
the Junior Order of the United Ameri
can Mechanics of Winston Salem was an
attraction this afternoon. The process
sion started in Winston at 2 o'clock, and
was quite large. 1t was led by the
Salem band, followed by the Junior
| Orders, two floats Ia little school house
and a Goddess of Liberty, the Forsyth
Rifleman. and the Winston-Salem fire
men. The speakers. mayor and minis
tars were in carriages. The flag was
presented to the school by Mr. r. J,
Reynolds with happy and appropriate
| speech. A Bible was presented in like
manner by Rev. L. d. Albright. A
timely grafton was delivered by Hon. G. B.
| Watson. After the raising of the flag a
salute was given by the Forsyth Rifle
men.
Winston shipped 1857, 500 pounds Of
| manufactured tobacco during October.
This is an increase of 252, ,476 pounds
over October, 1894. The stamp revenue
collection here last month footed up
| 500, 473 94, an increase of $15, 148 81
over the same month last year.
Business has been better with the to
bacco wareh ousemen this week. The re-
cent season promises to produce big
| breaks of leaf next week. A manufac-
| turer tells me that leaf is selling higher
than it has for ten years past. This is
| the result of the advance in cotton. The
tobacco men here would be glad to see
cotton selling at 10 cents This would
mean rushing business for both leaf
and tobacco manufacturers.
A negro named Will Drake broke jail
here Wednesday night. lie was await
ing trial at court for stealing hog. On
account of sickness the jailer had him
| removed from the cell to large room
up-staiI. Drake cut hole through the
brick wall and let himself down by tying
his blankets together. The officers say
that there was not sufficient evidence
against him to convict, and that had he
remained until court he would havegone
| free.

which opens Tuesday. The docket for
this term is said to be quite large.
A letter received here announces that
the 14th annual convention of the Sun

will be held in Goldsboro on November
25th, 26th and 9th. The convention
