THE DAILY FBBB PBBSS. subscription prices: une week 10 oenti one month 88 M Three months. 11.00 Twelre months 44.00 FitrpAY Evening, October 18, 1899. There will be a meeting of Haymakers tonight lor the purpose of initiating can uidates. , James Henry Guy, colored, is erecting a dwelling on the corner of lingbt and ijtieen streets. Mr. W. D. LaRoque returned last night from Richmond and Norfolk, where he ixraght a large stock of line horses and mules, which will arrive here today. We are glad to notice that our town authorities have bad some roots on the sidewalks removed. This work should continue until all the roots are removed from the sidewalks. The Rocky Mount Motor says: "A change having been made in Capt. E. Y Cox's run necessitates his moving his family to Kinston. Their many friends here regret to have them leave." Work has been commenced on an eight room dwelling for Mr. K. 13. Harget, of Onslow county, on Lenoir street, near the Kagle tobacco warehouse. Mr. Harget will move his family to Kinston. There was about 125,000 pounds of tobacco sold in Kinston today. Today ends the sales for this week, which has been an unprecedented one in quantity of tobacco sold on our market about 800,. 000 pounds being sold here this week It has been decided by the Cotton Mills to build eight or ten more houses, so as to accommodate more employes. This is a step looking forward to running the mill night and day, employing about 75 more people than at present. A special term of court has been order ed for Lenoir county by Gov. Russell, to - immediately follow the next regular term of court commencing November 13. The special term will : be held until all cases on the docket are disposed of. Judge H. It. liryan, of JNewbern, will preside. The hardest thing in adwriting is to write a plain, common sense, everyday talk. It seems easy to write this kind of an ad., but when one attempts to do it he finds how difficult it is. A plain state ment of facts in an advertisement, if you nave advantages to oner to induce trade, will bring in customers. One of the best recommendations that can be given a show is that of a crowd ed house for consecutive nights. Lee, the hypnotist, . has shown to packed houses every night this week atNewbern, and receives the highest commendation on every hand. His show is a high class one and will commence a series of per formances in Kinston next Monday night. From private advices we learn that Oak Ridge Institute is more prosperous than ever before, having fully twenty per cent, more students than ithad last year, the best record in its history to date. This is the 47th year of this school's histo ry and the 25th under the present man agement. This school is not supported by any denominational interest but rests on its merits alone. It is said to be the largest private fitting school in the south. Next Monday night at the opera house Sylvam A. Lee and his company of hyp notists will appear in one of their unique entertainments, and at the close of the evening's performance will hypnotize a subject, put him to sleep and nave him carried to one of the largest show win dows of Mess, Einstein Bros', big store, where he will remain 24 hours, without food or water, This feature of Mr Lee's entertainments was a'great success this week in Newbern. and during Tuesda; nearly every one in that city went to loo at him, the ladies in particular being very much interested.
