When announcement WaS made
that the National bank of Will

at the different banks in Raleigh,

districts, and in few counties oats
are reported poor stand, but as a
rule both crops are doing well. Chinch
bugs have appeared in large numbers

pecially in the southern counties, that
tree fruits are dropping badly. Straw

A Medal of Ancient Date Unearthed
in Garden in North Mexico.

G. M. Hull, while working in his
garden on North jefferson Street re-
Gently, dug up what seems to be a
medal issued in 176s by George III,
in memory of his father, George II,
who died in 1760. The medal is about
three quarters of an inch in diameter.
On one side is the head of George ii,
and the words s'Georgis II Del Gratia. -
One of the I's is partly effaced and q
hole is punched where another
might have made the whole III.
On the other side of the medal is the
date $685." and the impression of an
English crown and a shield with the
inscription: "In Memory of the Good
Old Days" In the apex of the shield
is the Scottish heather and the Irish
harp. In one corner are the three
English lions and in the other the
three French lilies with the British
lion between. The edge is milled. 1t
may be coin and instead of being
issued by George III it may have been
the medal of some society, perhaps
the "Order of the Garter'' or the
George that fourished in those "Good
Old Days!" But how came 1t to be
buried in the ground on the top of q
ridge along which the buffalo once
made his trail, the Indian his highway,
and which the white man afterwards
names "The Old Mexican Road?n A

Mr.. Cakes Lecture Thursday Night.
A fair size crowd of ladies and gen.
tlemen gathered at the Court House
Thursday night to hear Mr.. E. B. Cakes
lecture on higher criticism Of the
Bible. The lecturer spoke for an
hour and half and was listened to
with the closest attention. He dealt
largely in historical facts and referred
to scientific development to show that
the Bible is not an inspired book. He
spoke Of Christ as the great prophet
of Nazareth, not as the miraculousiy
begotten son of the Almighty. He was
the son of God like all other men are.
His teachings were good, but they had
been buried under sea of error by
the church and contorted until man
had long been dissatisfied and wanted
something broader and more liberal
than orthodoxy offered. MIR. Cake is
