The city authorities were engaged
last week in cleaning up the public
square Many MANNED, crippled, halt
and blind trees, in the last agonies,
have been dug up by tho roots, and u
few have been trimmed in the faint
hope of recovery. We are not criti-
cising the work, but think it has come
too soon Taste as we'll as utility
should be consulted. About sixty feet
north and south Of the Court House
should be carefully inclosed in iron or
brass, inclading tho wells, and the in
closures should be put in grass and fine
trees. Road ways would still be left of
hundred feet around the Court House
for driving, for the halting place for
wagons and for purposes OF trade. We
are spending q deal of money upon
education now, and the coming gener.
alton might by some awkward twist
get an idea Of taste, and wonder at the
past generations disposition to hackle
tree to death and to pack the whole
earth that it might be washed into
gullies. 1t is little late now, but an
acre or 50 might still be purchased
near the square and set apart as a
picketing and camping ground for
those who come to market for trading
purposes. But don't make your only
and most public plaza q feeding place
and eyc-sore for strangers and visitors.

ciate the magnitude of success OF the
furniture manufacturing industry in
this STATE or in the south In High
Point alone there are more than 30 fac
tories. At many other points in the

accorded an ovation. They put him
right up and his speech was warmly
applaude2 George Johnstone re-

to be Il pretty good following of Nc
Laurin in that quarter.
Mclaurin had run all the way down
from the st. Lawrence TO meet his COM

then again that Tillman's absence in
hospital encouraged him to make the
