The combination of Mr. Shannonhouse and Mr. Jones will make one of the strongest legal teams in the city. Shannonhouse & Jones will have their offices in Mr. Shan nonhouse's rooms in the law building until new quarters can be secured. -H-H-H-H I-I"I"I"H' THE WEATHER .fr.fr.I-M' .H-I-I"!"!"-!"!

Street Railway Company to Spend $30,000 Prelimnary to Paving. It will not be many weeks now be fore the people of Charlotte will have the satisfaction of seeing the real bithulithic paving work in progress. The work on the cross streets will probably be started first, and then as soon as the preliminary work on the street car tracks is finished, Try on and Trade streets, within the fire limits, will bid goodbye to its mud in rainy weather and dust when the sun shines hot. It is stated by the management of the street railway company that $30, 000 will be spent in putting the tracks in perfect condition for this permanent work, and that as soon as bids can be received the work will begin. The Atlantic Bitulithic Pav ing Company, which is doing the work for the city, will probably get the contract to do the street railway portion of the work. Mr. Latta, of the street railway company, has stated that while it would only take about $7,000 for the company to comply with its part ot the contract with the city, that the company wanted to go further than this in its desire to have the work perfect in every respect, and would spend $30,000 within the lire limits, this amount to be spent in putting down a sub-foundation of vitrified brick, new cross ties and 80-pound rail, and that the work would be done in such proportions as to be in keeping with the great growth of the city.

The entertainment will be given on three nights, and "will be some time the latter part of April or the first of May. LENTEN SERVICES Rev. F. M. Osborne Speaker rt the Y. M. C. A. Tomorrow. Rev.
