Mr.. Joe Persons Misfortune.


Our sympathies with those of
the press of the State and every
one who knows her go out in
words or thoughts of coincidence
to Mrs. Person, in the loss of
her laboratory, during the late
fire at Kittrell. She has ever
evinced such laudable enter
prise, such untiring energy,
coupled With so gentle and aim
able a disposition, so affable
and pleasant in all business re-
lations-we have known and
admired her every bearing so
much that when the news of her
loss reached us, we received il
as if it were a personal concern
| We are pleased to learn tina
this loss will only occasion {
temporary suspension of he
manufacture of her famous
Remedy" She will re-estab'
lish her business, and rather
than being disheartened at dis
aster, we shall expect TO see her
business take on new life, and
greater adaptation to the de-
mands of her constantly in
creasing volume of trade.
The Durham recorder. [volume] (Durham, N.C.) 1879-19??, 1899-01-19

Mr.. Caleb B. Green, the pres
sent Clerk of the Durham Coun-
ty Superior Court, is by birth, a
native of Person county. He
attended school at the Durham
Academy, at eight years of age,
under DR.. VIM. Gloss.
In 1874 he started the Durham
Tobacco Plant, and edited it un.
til 1886.
He was elected, by the Demo-
cratic party, in 1880, to the
Legislature, where he proved
himself alive to the interests of
his constituents. and in nothing
was he more earnest than in
securing the passage Of the bill
creating the county Of Durham.
Recognizing his eminent ability
as a legislator, he was again
electediin 1884.
In 1890 was elected TO the
same Office he has so recently
been elected to and how fills.
In every sense, be is a repre-
sentative man. He is a gentle.
man of genial culture, Of rare
practical sense and a ripe
scholer. Add 10 this a true
Christian character, and in the
picture Caleb B. Green stands
out so prominent that he is rec
ognized wherever he is known.
Durham county is TO be counted
fortunate in having so capable
a person to ill the honorable
and answerable position Of Clerk
Of her Superior Court. His EN-
inent fitness il admitted by all
political parties and no one
questions tha fidelity and probity
Of his administration.
