proprietor OF Durham bargain
Emporium.
In every department of trade and man
ufacture there is always some great and
leading representative house, which,
standing out strongly against the COM
mercisl horizon, constitutes the exem-
plsr, the ne plus ultra of development in
its line for the community In which 1t Is
located. In these days of sharp compe>
tition in all lines of trade, the concern
which hopes to capture trade-public
pstronage-and hold its own, must not
only be thoroughly modern, but also offer
a really superior inducement.
One of the most up.to date, enterpris-
ing and successful business houses 10

C0Iored Men in Distress.

A gang OF thirty-nine oolorsd men,
who had been in West Virginia enjoy
ing the so-called prosperity Astounding
there in every conceivable shape, &C
cording 70 Republican clap trap,
created no little excitement here last
Saturday when it became known that
they were approaching the city and
that they were from a section where
small pox was raging. They were met
on the outside of the city by officers,
who detained them for the purpose of
having them examined, which was
done, and they being found in good
health, were permitted to leave the
next day, after being guarded, fed and
housed Saturday night. They claim
that they had been induced to lsavs
their homes in Culpeper to 60 to the
Mountain State and work for good
wages, that they went and worked,
but were robbed of their earnings.
They return home poorer, but wiser

Hicks Forecast for March.

A reactionary storm period lie central
during the three first days of March,
| with Moon on the celestial equator
and new On the 1st. A very general
and marked reaction to warmer wealth
er may be expected by the LIST, attend
ed by a low barometer and resulting
in storms of lightning, thunder, wind,
rain and snow. By the 3rd or 4th q
high barometer will have succeeded
storm conditions and cold, fair weather
will have Travelled eastward from the
northwest over most of the county.
A regular Vulcan storm period runs
from the 9th to 10th, with Moon at first
quarter and extreme north declination
on the 7th. Southerly winds, falling
barometer, warmer weather and gen.
eral storm conditions will appear in
western parts early in this period, and
more storms Of rain and snow will be
progressive from west to east about
Thursday, the Sth to Saturday the
18th.
We have many times explained that
on and about March the 18th will fall a
crisis in magnetic and electric phe-
nomena. About this time, also, there
is great reason to anticipate equatorial
and cyclonic storms up through the
south seal and islands and along
southern coast. We predict, however,
that the disturbances normally due
about the 18th will this month be delay
ed or prolonged until the 18th, 18th,
and 10th. at which time Moon will be
in apogee, on the celestial equator and
at her full. Violent e%quinoctial hur-
ricanes and gales will occur on many
seas, and around many coasts along
and bordering on the tropical girdle
of the globe, not far from this central
perturbation in March. A marked biz
zard and boreal storm over northern
sections Of this country need not sur-
prise our readers about the same time.
The cold weather following the dis
turbances described above will mode
rate during the first part Of the Vul-
can storm period 18th to 22nd. and
more marked storm conditions will re-
turn about Monday the 18th to Thurs
day the 22nd.
