Once in a while we strike up with a man who has become possessed with 4&aidea that Charlotte is losing her en terprise and is entering upon a retro grade movements, and one or two pa pers of the State have also moulded their thunder to that effect in neat packages and sent it abroad in the land. Both the papers and the 'men referred to are so few that we would not men tion them, but we have to ring in some thing as a starter f or this article. k There are many citizens bf Charlotte who to-day have not the slightest idea of the growth and progress the city has made since January last. From Independence Square.evidences of pros perity may be seen as far as the eye can Jeachdowh each of the streets from the. sfjuare, but to get any idea of the real improvements that have been made in the city this year, one must take a drive around the streets. 'JTesterday evening a reporter, by some unaccountable good luck, found himself in one of these bald-headed L carriages beside Mr. Eccles, of the Cen tral, and with his note book took down the improvements on the fly. The first new building passed was the new1 Carolina Central Railroad de pot,1, which is now rising above the ruins of the old depot, which was destroyed Dyttire . several montns ago. xne new depot is of brick and its dimensions are spacious. ,.r It will be completed within two months. While it is being finished the Carolina Central is arranging to build another track alongside of the present one, to extend as far up the road s Eighth street. 6a the" opposite side of the street from the new depot a wonderful change is to be made. Major A. B. Springs, who owns tlie property, is to tear away all of the wooden houses that now stand there, and erect a large brick building in their stead. The brick for this house is to be procured partly from the old Rock Island woolen mills, which is to have its two top stories pulled down. The old mills will be turned into a two story warehouse, with one or more storerooms on the first floor. Passing on through Trade, The Ob server and his companion turned into Ninth street, where a perfect jam of new houses, all built this year, met his view. On Ninth, between Myers and College streets, there are ten new houses, some small, none large, and all andsome. On east College street the most marked improvements are the new resi dences of Capt. James F. Johnston, and the renovated house of M. C. Mayer, while the new houses of Messrs. Bur well, Kyles and Phifer, are each hand- i m . X- some ana auracuve. j.urmiig imu east Tryon, the new houses of S. S. Pe gram, Harrison Watts, and Mrs. M. C. Tate, meet our view. Leaving Tryon and turning down Tenth, the new and pretty residence of Piatt Walker comes in view, while directly opposite is the new parsonage of the Second Presby terian church. Getting on Church street the new houses come too numer ous to mention. Grouping them to gether we find the number to be twen ty-six. From Church street can be seen tne recently nnisnea jio.'Jio auu Hospital building, one of the institu tions of which Charlotte is justly proud of. Perhaps the most beautiful residence in Charlotte is the new house of Mr. W. C. Morgan, on west Tryon street In the immediate neighborhood of this are several other new residences, in cluding those of James M. Oates, John E. Oates and W. W. Ward. This gives only an impartial review of the many improvements completed throughout the city since January and will serve to show how Charlotte is building up. We have said nothing of the im provements being made on the Metro politan Hotel, or of the three new storerooms being built opposite. On these improvements alone $30,000 will be expended. Counting in the water works, the progress and improvement of Charlotte thenast six months mav be counted at f 00,000, and if this is not somethiiig to take pride in, then we give it up. President A. C. Haskell, Of the Charlotte, Columbia & Augus ta Railroad, was with the syndicate men who were ditched on the Western North Carolina road last Monday, and the accident somewhat interfered with his plans, causing more delay than he was prepared for. The pay train of the Western road was sent up to bring him back, as his business would not permit him to loiter longer with the party. The Lucky Numbers. In the monthly drawing of the Lou isiana State Lottery, at New Orleans yesterday, the following were the num bers that made the ten strikes: No. 19,102 got the capital prize of $30,000. No. 94,638 takes in $10,000, the second prize. The third prize of $5,000 was drawn by No. 47,969. The fourth prize of $2,500 was drawn by No. 10,822, and the fifth prize of the same amount was drawn by 84,726. Each of the follow ing numbers drew $1,000 : 21,267 ; 22, 605 ; 52048 ; 59,300 and 92,874. There were about 800 tickets held in Charlotte and it may be imagined that the above will be interesting reading to a goodly portion of the people about here. Reform in County Government. To the Edl.orof theObs r.er. The Yankees have a proverb, "that a penny saved is a-penny made," and I believe that there is mfe money made by saving the dollar than 1 litre is in speculation. Whaiistiue of individ uals, must be true of counties, for they are only collections of individuals. We have two officeholders in Mecklenburg county, well paid, to do the work of one. One man would do the work of both for the pay that one receives. I refer to the Sheriff and County Treasurer. I maintain that while we have a county treasurer he should collect the taxes and should not be allowed anything for disbursements. The amount 2 per Rflnt. now allowed the sheriff, would be an ample salary. In fact, the salary! would be greater than that received oy our Superior court judges. Had this plan been in force Mecklenburg county would have saved over ten thousand dollars. Is it not worth looking into t Without the collection of taxes, the sheriffs office will have more applicants than can be accommodated, and by making the county treasurer prepare the tax list and do several other little things that he ought to do, Mecklenburg county will save a good thousand a year. A. N. R. -AS A-r mmm m u m IN HEMORIAM. Memorial Day. To-day is memorial day and it is to be celebrated in Charlotte with all the display that has heretofore characteriz ed its observance in this city. The programme for the exercises appears in another place in this morning's paper. The procession is to form in the First Prpshvterian church vard. and have that point at 6 o'clock p. m on the ma Jch to the cemetery. The ladies and others who are in terested in the observance of Memorial day, ask us to make the suggestion to the merchants of the city that tl ley close their stores and that busin ess be entirely suspended after thi ree o'clock in the afternoon. This is atir ae ly request and considering the nature of the occasion which calls for it, it is one which they should willingly .ac cede to. Let the stores be closed. It is also suggested that all nowe rs shall be reserved this one day and a.p propriated to the soldiers' graves. The Hornets' JSest unemen ai-e called to meet at their armory this evening, at half-past four o'clock, in full uniform, double belts, etc. The following persons have been i selected to serve as assistant marshals- I Gen. R. D. Johnson, W. W. Fleming,, j and Harrison Watts. Carrying Young Fish on an Express j Car. The express train from the Northr which parsed, here Monday night, was a-. sort of a 'fish car, there being confined. in' cans of water in the car, one hun dred and'sixty thousand young shad. They were sent out by tbe?fish commis -sionet at Washington ; city and were bound for the headwaters of the Mus covia river, In Georgia. Along the trip, the water had to be changed every two ' hours and only spring water could be used. At Con cord the train stopped long enough U let all. the hands run around and hunit up a spring ff6m " which endiigh water was carried to last; f or the, next seventy miles. Nine Miles in Eight Minutes. FredKrogg was the engineer who pulled the Clyde syndicate's special car from Atlanta to this city last Sunday evening, and when he struck the piece of fine track between Whitaker's and King's Mountain, he concluded to show the travelers what he could do. He was pulling two coaches and it was an up grade, but he made the fireman pile in the wood and then he pulled open the valve, and the way he skimmed along with the syndicate was a wonder. At the end of the nine miles time was called and it was shown that the run had been made in exactly eight minutes. Palace Car Party Ditched. "The rich men on the rail," will n ot get to Charlotte to-day as was anticipa ted, on account of a little accident on their train last Monday, which dumped them into the ditch. They were near ing Asheville and had reached a point about nine miles from that town, when their car left the track and shook them up. Alter seeing mat none or ine pariy were hurt and fixing them up as com fortably as possible, Maj. Wilson and one or two others, set out on foot to "carry the news" to Asheville. The major tramped into the town and sent assistance to the scene of the accident and soon had the party safely landed in Asheville. A Large Convention. The city was thronged yesterday with Baptist divines, who were on their way to Greenville, where the general con vention of the Southern States meets this morning. Among the number were Dr. Tupper, of Richmond, president of the foreign mission board for the South; Rev. C. T. Bailey, of the Kaleigh Biblical Recorder, and Rev. T. W. Ebel toft, of Fayetteville. Rev. O.F.Gregory, of the Baptist church of this place, ac companied the delegatesjon the l o'clock train yesterday. This convention, being for the Bap tist church of the entire Southern States, will bring an immense crowd to Greenville. The number of ministers alone who will attend is stated to be five hundred, while there vWill be a great number of lay delegates and visi tors. The convention win oe m session until some time next week. The Lecture Last Night. Rev. Dr. William Jones delivered his, lecture on "Lee, the Model Man," to a select and appreciative audience, at the; Carolina Military Institute, last night. Dr. Jones' delivery is characterized by great earnestness of manner and style well calculated to interest and hold the undivided attention of an audience, as was illustrated upon this oocaaion., Many new facts and incidents were brought up in regard to the subject of his lecture, and were presented in the most forcible and, frequently, startling manner. Only salient points were touched upon, but these generally told volumes in themselves. ne leuwuici x I was frequently and warmly applauded. II p j X tJAU xucauojf u8" " era another lecture in the Opera House on "The Confederate Soldier as I Knew Him," for the benefit of the Southern Historical Society and the Charlotte Home and Hospital. The subject and the reputation of the lecturer ought to fill the Opera House, and we hope to see that result. Mrs. Laura Means Shannon, obllt.

It was a trial ot faith to leave an Infant ot days, a tender husband, a venerable mother, and loving sisters and brothers, but the trial was borne like a Christian; and cemmlttlng her loved ones to the keeping of a precious Saviour, she departed, to be with Christ, which is far better.
