This is one of our best com panies and should at once be equipped for fighting fire. Let the city do its duty by them. We hope to have a clean campaign and a diecuitsion of the issuts, but if tie op position desires a little mud-slinging they are lepec fully informed that we are ready and prepared for it, and that "Barkis is willing." A hint to the wise is sufficient. The election of J. N. Holding.as chair man of the Democratic city committee, shows tha they are prepared to run a boodle campaign. You remember that it was Holding who advised a convict to yo e and paid him to work for Broughton in the last election. The Southern Field, issued by the Southern Railway, reaches, us to-day. This is a useful and instructive news paper and is dev.ted to the agricultural, manufacturing, mining and business in terests vt ihe country tributary to' the above-named railway. Mrs. B.

C, in a few days, where she will reside in future with her daughter, Mr?. E. E. Bryan. Little L mise Martin will also go with her. We regret to lose them from our city, but winh for each of them a pleatant time in their new home. Capt. J. E. Pogue, one of our most progressive citizens, is erecting a fine residence on the corner of Fayetteville and Cabarrus strtet. It will be of the latest style and equipped wiih modern improvements. Capt. Pogue knows how to have things both useful and orna mental, as well as convenient. Don't forget the entertainment at C x Memorial Cburch. corner East street and Newbern Avenue. Monday night. A select program has been arranged, con sisting of vocal and instrumental muic. select reading and recitations by ladies and gentlemen. Refreshments will be served in the vestibule of the church. Admission five cent?. Mr. M. H. Dowd cloet d bis school at Garner Friday evening of last week. There was a large nuuib-r rf spectators present to witness the wonderful display of the students. Tbe exhibition was one of the most talented ever known at that place. Tbe students carried out the pro gram like htr es. Eveiythmg proved that Mr. Dowd has been a most efficient instructor. Dr. E. C. Merchant, who ncently graduated at the Leonaid Pharmaceuti cal School, left the city last Tuesday for Lynchburg, Va., his home, where he will spend a few days visiting his mother and relatives. He will then proceed to Charles ton, W. Va., to meet the State Board of Pharmacy Examiners. He will then en ter i he drug business in the above named city. We have bright hopes for Dr. Merchant. Governor Russell authorizes us to say that he wanted acolorvd physician elect ed principal of the asylum at Goldsboro, and that all leports, emanating from whatever souice, to the contrary are barely false and without foundation. This is a stunner to those enemies of Governor Russell who have been so in dustriously circulating what they knew to be false. We shall say more of this matter later. Are tbe police force of Raleigh paid to do legitimate work or to do the work of political canvassers for the Democratic party ? The tax-payers should note this fact that the policemen have for the past tn days neglected their duties and, un der the direction of some potitical boss, given their entire time to making a house to house canvass for the approaching city election. Let the people rebuke this of fensive partisanship on the part of these police officers. Who can say the new election law is not a fair and just one, and does not give to all men their rights ? We happened to stop at Halifax a 6hort while last Tues day and dropped into the commissioners' room, where the board was in monthly session. We had the pleasure of seeing a colored man sitting as a member of said board, a man of property and a busi ness man, with two white Populist mem bers and two white Democrats (who are not members because the people did not elect them). This member we speak of is Mr. C. P. Anthony, a man of intelli gence and of business qualities. This is what we are entitled to and the Republi can and Populist parties have given it to us. Mr. Anthony is also a prominent candidate for the post-office at Scotland Neck. The First Baptist Sunday-school, of Raleigh, had a rally last Sunday after noon for the new church, at which they raised the sum of $141. This was con sidered a snug little sum in view of the fact that they were only about two weeks in working it up. They had quite an interesting program, which was greatly enjoyed by the large congregation pres ent. No prizes were offered. Rev. Worlds' class led the Bible classes with a collec tion of over $13, while Miss Maude E. Young's class led tbe primary department with over $5. Mr. William Vass led the officers and teachers with $2.75, while Mr. Peter Cobbled the individual scholar i with $4. Superintendent Young ex pressed himself aa highly gratified at the effort of all and thanked the school fir its work. and the grerous friends, both white and colored, for their liberal con tributions. One of the best, organized societies'in the ci-y for the relief of te pxir boys is the B iys Guild, of St. Ambr se Episco pal Church. They have the city divided into four wards and a committee to each ward, to visit the poor bojs and get them to attend Sabbath School. They are do ing a great work for God and the com munity. They have such tried and un selfish officers as Williama,' HooveF, H 11, and King, that they are bound to have success en their errands of mission. Mayor Russ, in accepting the nomina tion last week, said to the convention, amog o'her things: "Register and vote, and if jou find some fellow lurking on the outskirts waiting for a drink or some thing else, carry him to the polls and vo-e him, if you have to give it to him." This strikes us as rather peculiar advice for the chief officer of a large city like Raleigh to be publicly giving to his party friends. If our memory in correct we think the lection law prohibits the giv ing of drinks on election day. ihe "someihing else" must refer to boodle. If sj, that, too, is piohibited in the elec tion law and severe penalties imposed for a conviction of such an offen-e. The Mayor, being a law officer, ought to give other advice than advising men to vio late the law. What do the pt-ople of R-ileigh think of this advice? Let them answer by their votes on electiou day. If you want to save money buy your groceries at Woollcott & Son's Depart ment sore. Saturday morning of last week the city boys and girls were much in evidence with their country friends. They turned out in a large number to attend the com mencement of Prof. W. H. Ray's school, in District No. 5, Wake County. The commencement was a brilliant affair. The public was highly favored with mu ic, also one of tbe most up-to date receptions of the season. The program was a very interesting one, all of which made t he exhibition a ver efficient affair. One of the most interesting features of the evening wai a sermon by Mr. Bud Hinton. His text was the 16th chapter of r. obter and the third pullet. Mr. W. H. Dowd, Mr. A. J. Dunn, and Mr. F. R. Frtemanwere the orau rsof the evening. The fine display of the stu ieuts showed that Mr. Ray had given to the students good instruction. Rev. Caesar Johnson gave a reception souie da8 ago complimentary to Miss Pearle Wassom. and among th invited guests we note the following: Miss Maude Biooks, Hon. J. H. Young, wife and daugnter, Rev. C. H. King and wife, Rev. A. W. P. gues and wife, Mios Blanche Wiikins, Mrs. O. C. Bolden, R.-v. J. E. King and wife, Mr. Louis Young and family, Mr. Chatles Holland and wife, Miss Leannei Brown, Dr. N.

Debnam, Mr. Louis Beiuery a.nd wife, Mr. Brodie R -gers, wife and daughter, Mr. Stepheu Haw kins and wife, Miss Nellie Cooke, Miss Nixon and Rev. J. J. Worlds and wife. At this reception quite a pleasant time was spent for several hours. Rev. J hn eon. though etill am.,ng the uuproucud staff of cupid, is a hostess of the first order. The ladies bhuuM make a note of thia. Sbaw, b..ys, a certain Mr. Nathan el S , a "Normal boy" from Halifax, has been given the c ld shoulder " by one of his city girls lately.

To the many kind friends 'who so faith fully rendered kindnesses in the recent great sorrow that has come to me, I here with tender my sincere thanks and ask your prayers fur sustenance in the great est borrow that my life has ever known.

When Gertrude smiles then all seems bright, Be the day e'er so cloudy, or dark the night; Her smile e'er cheera the downcast heart, And oft heals the wound of cruel Fate's dart. W. In Memorlam of little Edward Lomrey. BY E. D. HALL, KINSTON, N. C. I shine in the light of God, His image t tamps my brow; Through the shadows of death my feet have trod, But I reign in glory now! No broken heart is here, No keen and thrilling pain, No wasted cheek where the burning tear Has rolled and left its stain. I have found the joys of heaven, I am one of the angel band; To my head a crown is given, And a harp is in my hand. I have learned the song they sing, Whom Jesus hath made free; And the glorious walls still ring With my new-born melody J Mother, father, weep no more; Do you mourn when another star Shines out from the glorious sky? Do you weep when the noise of war And the rage of conflict die? ' Why, then, should your tears roll down, Or your hearts be sorely riven For another gem in the Saviour's crown, And another soul in heaven ? FITZSIMfflONS ! We only ak you to come and be con vinced.

Latta Unsversity will be closed during the Christmas holidays for all the session for the purpose of rebuilding the build ings that were consumed by fire last May, and also additional buildings. The Uni versity ia located in the village of Ober lin, N. C, one and one-half miles west of the capitol building in the city. The lo cation is the very best for a school, being out of the busy city, but within easy reach by means of the electric street cars. It is enough to say, that there has not been a single case of serious illness since the establishment of the school. Each dormitory is heated by stoves and hearths, so every necessary comfort is secured. The terms are very reasonable $7.50 per month. Those desiring to reduce their expenses by work will be taken at the lowest possible rates: young men $6.40 per month ; young women $5.40 per month; day students $1 per month. A small incidental fee will be charged. The school will reopen on the 7th day of October, 1897. Our purpose is to make it one of the largest pchools in the South for the race. Law and Medicine will be added. The institution is wholly non sectarian in its religious instruction or influence. Vet earnest attention will he given to Bible study, applying its truths to daily life and conduct, that a thorough Christian character may be obtained. It is open to all students of either sex. None but competent teachers will be em ployed. For further information, address the President, Rev. M. L. Latta, D. D.
