THE WATAUGA BANQUET.
A CHARMING REUNION OF THE CLUB AND
ITS FRIENDS.
The Toasts Proposed and the Elegant and
interesting Responses by Fluent
Sneakers

The banquet OF the Watauga Club at
the Marlborough House last night was,
of course. n success-the same kind of
success that all previous purposes of
that splendid organization has been. 1t
was around the banquet tables of this
club that the \. and NJ. College was
horn; that much of the permanent road
and street improvements in and around
Raleigh were first suggested. 1t has
been in the social and business gatherings
OF this club that much of the spirit of
educational and industrial progress Of
the State has had its incipiency, and
good will result from last nights meet
ing. There were too many brainy and
courageous men there, too much rubbing
together OF aggressive ideas, happy
thoughts, charming eloquence and stir
ring calls to patriotic impulse and duty
for no permanent and substantial good
to follow.
The banquet was planned by the club
at a meeting n few weeks ago, and the
clever managers OF the Marlborough
House were called upon to prepare it.
Every member of the club knew that
with Nessrs. Ranay and Cooke 10 do the
culinary honors, the table would be a
tempting and inspiring feast, and if those
brainy and brilliant gentlemen who re-
spouded to toast had needed inspiration,
the richly laden table would have inn
ported it,
Ii must have had its effect anyway,
Tor the speakers fairly oyerdowed with
logic, humor and eloquence, and the four
hours Of sitting fitted by on the wings Of

At Warren'S store. in Hale county, len
miles north Of Greensboro, joan SinEiry,
& wealthy farmer was called from MS door
last night by a negro, said to be }'iil Scott,
who orScd about the place. Tho negro
said he wanted some one to aid in the cap
turo of a loose horse.
When about 100 yards from the house, the
negro is said to have dubbed Mr. SinGiey
and cut his throat with a knife. The negro
then broke into the house and killed Mrs.
Sir gIey and the boy, cutting their throats,
almost sevoring their heads. He then OPEN
ed drawer and stole 500 after which he
fed. Aid was summoned from Greensboro,
Doctors were among those who responded,
but Sngley's wife ana the boy were both
dead. Dogs were carried to the scene and
every attempt to run the negro down waS
made.
Sngley was found to be badly injured
but was able to tell the story and give the
name of his assatlant.
Great excitement exists in the section of

if the negro is discovered he will be dealt
with severely The entire woods are said

be in strong condition. The larger iDStltu-
