twenty-two minutes. The Servia and
Austral were close upon her heels.
The shops of the Pennsylvania R. R.
Company at Altoona and other points
along the road, instead of discharging

A lady visitor to Worth's establish

king celebrity as tall, burly, red-faced
and slouchy-looking, with fishy eyes

to wear the same cut of clothes, and
the color and fabric must be of fine

decidedly petulant. He affects a pas

riie Hotel Brunswick.

this in an advertisement published in
this issue. The bouse will be kept
open until October 1st as a Summer re

main open all the Winter for the bene
fit ot Northern invalids and pleasure

tender them our best wishes for success
in their new venture and happiness in
their new home., v !

that Lheir efforts on this Occasion will
meet with as thorough an appreciation
as was accorded them at their first
party.
Family Excursion. .
A grand family excursion will take
place on the Passport on Wednesday,
Sept. 2nd. under the auspices of Ger
mania Lodge. No. 4, K. of P., which
promises to prove one of the most de
lightful affairs of the season. There

board Messrs XJ. Rosenthal, W
Mertens, Jno. Haar, Jr., B. Bellois,

Excursion to the Mountains.
An excellent opportunity i3 offered to
those who may desire to visit the
mountains. Capt. T. M. Emerson,
General Passenger Agent of the
Atlantic Coast Line, has placed on sale
tickets for the round trip at r the low
rate of $8.10. These tickets are good to
leave on Monday, Sept. 1st, and return
on any train up to the 10th of the
month. It is likely that many will
ake advantage of this rare opportunity.
Business Cnanse.
As will be seen by the card published
in another column, Messrs. W. H. Al
derman & Co. have purchased the
stock and good will of the business
heretofore conducted by Messrs. F.
M. King & Cov and will continue it in
all of its branches. Mr. Alderman,
the senior partner, is a gentleman of
excellent business qualifications and
iarge experience, and is well known in
a large circle, and will doubtless suc
ceed well in his new enterprise.
The Horner School.
The advertisement of this justly and
long celebrated school, located at Ox
ford, N. C, a'ppears in our advertising
columns. Mr. James II. Horner, the
distinguished senior principal of the
school, has iust made a trip to our vi
cinity on a visit to friends, and was
much pleased with our places of Sum
mer resort, as well as with the city
Itself. He left this morning on the
boat for Fayetteville.
To Mr. Horner, as much as to any
man Who ever lived in the State. North
Carolina owes as much of her intelect
ual development and progress. He
seems to possess that remarkable fac
ulty possessed by iiut tow, of impress
ing upon the minds of his pupils that
he is not only a great master in the
science of teaching, but that there can
be none greater.
For Fayetteville.
Capt. Rod McRae and party, the
engineers in charge of the experiments
survey of a railroad route between this
city and Fayetteville, reached Point
Caswell last Thursday morning. They
took what is known as the 'Negro
Head" road as their route. On Thurs
day afternoon they came 'back to a
point lower down on Moore's Creek,
called Ramsey's Landing, and
took a line which runs
directly through -the center
of the town of Point Caswell, and
which proved to be on the identical line
mn by Capt. John C. McRae, in 1857.
From Point Caswell they crossed the
river" and examined the sand ridge be
tween CoIIey and Black river, it being
the same ridge'that extends from Point
Caswell toFayclteviile. . It is thought
that this is the . route which will, be
adopted, crossing the ' Black river at
Point Caswell.
