Axley. who has been in the city for the past three weeks eagag ed in establishing a branch of the Frankiin Square Library, left on this morning's train for Raleigh. Thence he will go diiect to Knoxville, Tenn. Our good friend, Capt. D. T. Ward, the of Raleigh & Augusta Air Line, was in the city to-day, having just re turned from a short visit to Smith ville, where he has been spending a part of bis vacation. He leaves this evening on his return to Raleich. In Self Detence. We learn that a party of gentlemen at Smithville wnt out on a deer-driving expedition yesterday. Among the hanters was one who has a great fond ness for the sport and has followed il with spirit from boyhood until now, when he hasreached nearly, to middle life, but had never succeededln killing a deer until yesterday, when the animal a fine buck came rushing so near him that he was obliged to kill it to keep from being run over and perhaps badly injured. At any rate the deer was slain it weighed 103 pounds dress edand the gentleman escaped unin jured, which was a result so entirety unlooked for and unexpected that the friends of the latter feared for the conse quences and a party of them concluded that it would be well to remain with him over night," and went to his resi dence for that purpose, but to their sur prise, as well as joy. they found him so entirely calm and self possessed that their services were not needed and they return to their several homes. A Counterfoil. One night daring the engagement of the Standard Dramatic Company at the Opera House, a young gentleman of this city attired himself 4u some of his sister's clothing and, escorted by an elder brother, wentWwitnesshe per formance. Tho make-up was so neat and attractive, the disguise wasso complete and the impersonation of a young lady was so perfect that no one mistrusted the fact, and a drummer who happened to be in tho city and present was so completely smitten with the charms of the supposed young lady that he sought and obtained au in troduction in due form, and thinking he hade a "mash," he sat beside her (him) the remainder of the evening talking the tenderest sort of sentiment inter mixed with bo small amountof "gush." He never discovered the counterfeit, and when ho left the young lady (gen. tleman) he was fully impressed with tha idea, that he was in a fair way of making a complete conquest of the heart of one of the sweetest young la-, dies in the city. We wonder how he will feel if he should ever discover the trick. ... m 'm i i . 'j "I want some SOZODONT. said he.

There Is a preservative Drinciple in SOZODONT that effectually preserves the teeth from decay. Chemists pro nounce it wholesome. Rich and poor endorse it.

The challenge has now been accepted by a four composed of First Sergeant W. R. Morrison, Second Sergeant Geo. Harriss, Jr., Fourth Sergeant B. W. Dunham and Corporal G. P. Howey. It is not definitely de termined when the trial will take place, but when it does there will be some skilful military work and tho contest will be most hotly and obstinately con tested. Distressing News. Mr. E. II . Keathly received the un welcome and entirely unexpected intel ligent this morning that his son, aged about 14 years, was seriously and alarmingly sick at the residence of his grandmother, in Duplin county. It seems that the lad was spending the vacation at bis grandmother's, and a few days since had the misfortune to cut his foot with an axe, inflicting an ugly, but not necessarily a dangerous wound. Erysipelas supervened, which threw the young lad into a fever and he is now in a critical condition. Mr. Keathly, together with '- his wife and family, started on this morning's train to go to the afllipted one and in all hu man probability they are at his bedside ere now. I 1 !
