Most Of the way we sl;irted along the
bank which had been thrown up and
where at short intervals soldiers were
seated ready to start up and fire if &C.
casion should call. The walk seemed
safe and quiet, but there were occa-

Mr.. Gregson, as 4 minister of re-

1t was a pertinent questioS, but we

requires higher degree of enterprise
and business sagacity than the boot and
shoe trade, and in this connection we de-
sire to call special attention to the ex-

ionahle emporium is located at l0T Main
street, where in handsome building
they have ample accommodations for the
successful conduct of their large and
growing business. They are the only
house in Durham dealing in the boot
and shoe line exclusively. and their stock
is very large. and is complete in every
respect. Although the business was es-
tablishe, only four years ago it has
won the name of being.the leading estab
lishment of its kind in this section OF
the State, and last year sold more shoes
than any other house in North Carolina

goods. and their full and assorted stocl
being brought direct from the Northern

them to compete with any of their con
temporaries in price and style to the de
cide advantage of their customers.
Both of these gentlemen have thor
ough knowledge of the business, and thu
liberal and prompt way i'm which thi'
establishment is conducted bespeaks nj
unusual share Of prosperity. The hous'
is so well established for its reliability
and business honor that any comment
from us would be unnecessary Il
