and push and pluck and perseverance,
and from these well pruned orchards
of merit the most luscious and most
sumptuous fruits are being gathered.
Among some of its most prominent I
and most successful business men,
and most potent factors of its growth
and development are men from the
eastern part of the State, and we'll
known by many people in Wilson. F. |
B. Kicks, native of Nashville, is one |
of Greensboro's most successful bust |
ness men, being president of one of |
it's largest banks, and having large |
interests in several other enterprises. |
He has an elegant-yea, palatial home, |
and his handsome wife presides over
it with the grace of queen. 1t is
indeed a shrine of princeliest hospi-
tality. Robert A. Sills. son of the
late DR.. Robert A. Sills, of Nash
county, is another one of Green's
boro's most prominent business men,
and handsomest shoe store in the
State. He enjoys the greatest popu-

purest and nob1est characters that
ever dignifed true manhood His
mother and aunt, Miss Bette Harri-
son, daughters of the late Capt. F. A.
Harrison, formerly of Castalia, live
here and are ladies of excellent worth
and finest social qualities and sweet
est attractiveness. Mr.. Edro Harri
son, a pure-minded and consecrated
Christian gentleman, lives with them.
Mr. J. J. Stone, ONE printer in
Wilson, is at the head OF one of the
Largest and best equipped printing
establishments in the State, and is
regarded as one of Greensboro's best

reaching this place we have ascer-

little maidens and brightest jewels
Miss Madeline Cutchin, created quite
a sensation in social circles, and won
the admiration of all by the witchery
of her transporting charms. A num-
ber of entertainments were given in
her honor, and all, who witnessed her
terms of highest admiration. And an
other Wilson jewel of richest bril-
liancy, the graceful Margaret Adams,
who has been on a visit here, has
been much admired for those win.
some traits that make her so very
sweet and attractive. And while here
we, of course, stop at the admirably
kept Clegg Hotel, one of the most
popular resorts in North Carolina, for
it's owner, w. F. Clegg, is one of the
cleverest, bfggest-hearted men we ever
met, and he is most ably assisted by
his affable and handsome brother
Bynum Clegg, and by that crowned
prince of good fellows, the urbane and
courtly John Knight, the best and
most popular hotel clerk in the State
He is universal favorite And Hotel
Clegg has an additional charm in the
presence of Mrs. w. F. Clegg, who is
a sceptered queen in the realm OF
the beautiful, for she is a glorious
