NEWS NOTES ABOUT THE CITY.
Wbat Our Reporters See and
Ilear Worth Hiving to Our
Headers News in Brief.
Another heavy laiu last night.
Henderson, yesterday, voted unani
mously for graded schools.
The new pump in the Capitol
Square will soon be ready for use.
This has been one of the dullest
days of the season, and no mistake.
Roasting ears and tomatoes have
put in their appearance at reasonable
rates.
Water melons of native growth
have commenced to come in pretty
freely.
Although the elements appeared
against it, the entertainment at
Stronach's warehouse last night was
a complete success.
There was a large exodus yesterday
from the city to Morehead. A friend
tells us that the Raleighites down
there are having a grand time.
The Faleigh correspondent of the
Wilmington Messenger says that the
daily News aud Observer of this city
will soon appear as an eight column
paper, with new type and other im
provements. The county commissioners will
meet again on the 2 d inst, when all
persons having complaints to make
relative to the valuation of property
in Raleigh township will be on
hand.
Has the proposition to extend
Morgan street died out entirely? Is
there no chance for a resurrection of
the matter with a hope of success?
Perhaps our city fathers can tell.
Mr. Geo. E. Gill, of Wake Forest,
who has ben appointed to look
after the exhibits of Wake county at
the approaching Exposition, will
enter at once upon his duties.
The drum corps will meet tonight
promptly at 8:30 o'clock to arrange
for the encampment at Wrightsville
for which place the corps leaves on
Friday. All who contemplate going
down will be present.
It is truly gratifying to (announce
that Grand Sire Busbee continues tf
improve. He now readily recognize!
friends and acquaintances, and par
takes of a moderate quantity of solid
food. It is good news to thousands
throughout the land.
Commusioner Bobinson, of the Ag
ricultural department is having his
office repaired, repainted, &c. It is
now a nice business office, occupied
by one of the most courteous gentle
men in North Carolina.
Mr. Geo. E. Gill, who was appoint
ed yesterday to take charge of the
Wake county exhibit at the Exposi
tion, is a gentleman well qualified for
the place. He will do his full duty in
the. premises.
The Governor's Guard seem to be
in a streak of unusual luck. In ad
dition to the sum of $150, recently
appropriated by the Board of Alder
men, the County Commissioners have
given thein a like sum. This will en
able them to go to the Wrightsville
encampment in tip top style.
There is considerable work to be
done at the Agricultural and Me
chanical College between now and the
next session. A large lot of Machin
ery is to be put in the mechanical de
partment, and the new dormitories
are to be erected so that an antiei
pated increase of students may be
' provided for.
Mr. C. D. Payne, publisher of the
Union Signal, Chicago, 111., writes: I
never saw anything that would cure
headache like your Brady crotine.
JulyU 6t.
Now let some enterprising capital
ists put up small residences. They
are very scarce in Raleigh. In fact,
a house for a small family is hard to
get. It will pay handsomely. Better
than mortgages at 8 per cent.
See notice of lost spectncles by Mr.
J. C. 8. Lumsden
Receipts of cotton continue, small
and prices low.
There are very few inmates now in
Wake county jail.
Surry county is makiug much
preparations to be represented at the
Southern Exposition.
Remember the lawn party at the
corner of Wilmington and Davie Sts.
to night.
Cantaloupes in market today, but a
nickel was the price of one about the
size of a Buncombe county apple.
The Friends yearly meeting will
take place at High Point on August
4th. A large attendance is expected
The encampment at Wrightsville
will open next Friday. Gov. Holt will
go down on Monday. It will be a
grand time.
Evangelist Fife is going to Massa
chusetts for the purpose of prosecu
ting his studies in ecclesiastical mat
ters. If you want to encourage a deserv
ing cause and spend a pleasant eve
ning attend the lawn party corner
Wilmington and Davie streets to
night.
Let every county in North Carolina
come to the aid of the Inter-State
Exposition. It should be a great suc
cess, and as it takes place in the ctp
ital of North Carolina, she should
aid all in her power.
Helu out the committee for locating
the colored Agricultural College in
Raleigh. We lost the Odd Fellows
Asylum by inertness. Let us rouse
up. Raleigh is the place for the col
lege.
The corner stone of the new builds
ing for the colored Orphan Asylum at
Oxford will be laid July 27. Reduced
rates will be given on the different
railroads.
We are under many obligations for
courtesies from Prof. Von Hermann,
of the weather crop- bureau. The
Professor seems to know and appre
ciate the wants of a newspaper man.
The walk around the capitol square
should be paved. After this, the old
unsightly building used as an arsenal
should be pulled down. It is an eye
sore and spoils the look of the square.
Mr. D. T. Swindell has purchased
the stock of the Norris' dry goods es
tablishment and today has been busy
taking inventory. Tomorrow the
establishment will be open and the
public will hear something to their
advantage.
Let everybody in Wake county who
has anything queer or curious get it
ready for the exposition. Let us
make Wake the banner county in the
way of exhibits. Report to Mr. Gill
who will see to it.
We have seen a most beautiful
album of Greensboro, issued by the
Chamber of Commerce of that city.
It contains a most complete "write
up" of the "City of Flowers" with
pictures of the most prominent citi
zens. Manager Brown of the Western
Union off ce.in this city, has returned
from a short trip to Morehead City.
He says he saw a considerable num
ber of Raleighs boys there who ap
peared to be enjoying themselves
well.
Bank Changes.
In view of the selection of Mr. B.S.
Jerman, to become cashier of the new
bank to be started in this city, here
have been several changes and pro
motions in the citizens bank. Mr. H.
E. Litchford becomes teller, Mr. F. P.
Haywood, individual book-keeper,
Mr. W. H. Bain and H. J. Young as
sistant book-keepers, and Mr. Irwin
Jones collector. These are all clever
and popular gentlemen, and in all
respects worthy of the positions to
which they have been assigned. To
Mr. Jerman we tender our heartiest
congratulations. No better business
man or cleverer gentlemen lives in
oar city.
For Richmond.
There will be a grand excursion to
Richmond, Va., on August 5th, un
der the auspices of Messrs. King,
Macy and Sherwood. It will be one
of the most pleasant as well as the
cheapest excursions yet given. Just
think of it, you can go to the former
capital of the southern confederacy
and return for $2.50. It will be a
most instructive trip in all respects.
A .chance will be given to visit the
battle fields and see the sights of
Virginia's noble and beautiful chief
city. Let there be a grand turnout.
Alliance Kally
There will be a grand Alliance rnl
It in Durham on thePSthof AngiiRt.
The farmers of four counties will he
present and a great time is looked
for. A number of good speakers will
be on hand.
Hardware, &e.
The Auditorium.
We hope the matter of an audi
torium will not be allowed to slumber
longer than is absolutely necessary.
No city of the size of Raleigh should
be without a place suitable for large
gatherings. We have been sadly de
ficient in this respect for a long time.
In fact, Raleigh has on some occasions
been deprived of the opportunity of
some first class entertainments, be
cause no hall suitable could be ob
tained. It is a great pity that this
matter had not originated sometime
since, so that it could have been
ready by the exposition. Better, how
ever, late than never, and we hope it
will be pressed forward energetically
by our City Fathers.
Rumored Deficit.
The air was full of rumors yester
day concerning a deficit on the part
of the late Republican Sheriff, J.
Rowan Rogers, Esq. The shortage
was placed at between $8,009 and
$10,000. The Visitor made no men
tion of the fact because it did not de
sire to do any injustice in the premi
ses, and preferred to await such de
velopments as an examination on the
part of the properly constituted
authorities might bring to light. It
is claimed by Mr. Rogers that the
shortage is the result of his being
charged with insolvent claims for
back taxes, which he alleges he was
unable to collect. It appears that
the bondsmen of the ex -Sheriff ex
press a willingness to settle the
matter without litigation, but claim
that the amount of shortage alleged
is in excess of what an examination
will reveal. It is understood, how
ever, that an amicable adjustment
will be arrived at and that the bonds
men will pay the sum oi $5,000, the
first of next week.
The Virginia and Carolina
District.
In reviewing the state of trade for
the past six months, Dun's circular
fives the following from the Rich- j
mond, Va., office : Leading authori
ties throughout this district report
business the past year to have been
larger than for many years, excelient
crops being raised, and good prices
obtained, this being particularly I
true of tobacco. Collections every
where are reported to have been from
fair to good, with money easy for j
legitimate business requirements. In
some localities, however, consider-
able stringency has prevailed, and
still exists, owing to speculation in
real estate, but it seems to be gene !
rally conceded the "craze" has about
died out.
