Mr.. and Mrs. S. Bryant, of Randle-

twins, yesterday.
Last night at II O'Clock persons who
live in the extreme northern uart or
Greensboro were astonished to see q
torch light procession assemble on thar
part of North Elm street of which the
city has never gotten possession from
Capt. B. J. Fisher. The bearers of the
torches began taking up the railroad
iron of the old street car track which
formerly belonged to the original Steel
and Iron Company.
1t seems that several years ago Mr..
Caesar Cone purchased this car line
from the former owners and since the
price of iron has advanced so greatly
it is presumed that Mr.. Cone decided
to sell the iron. The exact reason OF
all this secrecy is not known, but it is
doubtless because there is no love lost
between Capt. Fisher; and Mr.. Cone
and fearing that Capt. Fisher would
refuse to allow the track to be taken
up. Mr.. Cone decided to go ahead and
get it up before anyone could interfere.
All Greensboro is laughing over the
trick.
A force of hands began clearing away
the debris from the old burnt Benbow

During the winter of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay county, w. Va,
struck his leg against a cake of ice
in such a manner as to bruise it Sc
yerely. 1t became very much swollen
and panied him so badly that he could
not walk without the aid of crutches.
He was treated by physicians, also
used several kinds of liniment and
two and a half gallons OF whiskey in
bathing it, but nothing gave any relief
until he began using Chamberllin's
Pain Balm. This brought almost a
complete cure in weeks time and
he believes that had he not used this
remedy his leg would have had to be
amputated. Pain Balm Is unequaled
for sprains, bruises and rheumatism.
