Fruit has Uamiided Truck and Fruit Farmers are Backward---Planting is Now in Prugfosa A Big Truck Crop Planted. The lirst weekly crop bulletin of the climate and crop service issued by the weather bureau appeared to day. The Bulletin -says that the crop season of 1897 has not opened very favorably in North Carolina Heavy rains during February and March delayed all farm work, while the excess of temperature advanced vegetation so that fruit trees were generally in bloom before the end of March and were considerably injur ed by frosts between the 25th and 29th. The latter part of March was more favorable for work ; but rain early in April placed tbe soil in ex cellent condition for'preparation.and though farmers are still behind, a week or two of fair weuther will enable them to catch up. The weather conditions for the week ending Monday, April 5th, have not been favorable. In the eastern district the frosts last week damaged fruit trees, straw berries and truck crops to a con siderable extent, except in the ex treme souih and east portions of the distru-t. Gardens are generally backward. Much work has been done on l.hc tuck fai'msand big crops planted. la the central district preparation of soil for oorn, cotton and tobacco waspu3hed on every fair day, but is still bphind. In extreme south portion considerable corn has been planted, and some upland corn is up; elsewhere planting i- now pro gressing. Low lands all too wet to work. All reports indicate that rye, wheat and oats arc looking un usually well Unfortunately, chinch bugs are reported at one or two points. A large crop of spring oats has Leen planted. Tobacco plunts are up and doing well. Gardening very slow, though some cabbnges and tomatoes have been transplanted. Apples are just budding; other fruit, especially peachesand strawberries, seriously damaged by frost aud in exposed places entirely killed. TO EXTEND MORGAN ST.

THE MINISTERING CIRCLE The Clique Uramatique to Reproduce the Carnival for its Benefit- The Clique Dramatique. whose two productions given here were so artistically successful, will appear again before a Raleigh audience on April 23d, the Friday following Easter. The play given will be "The Car nival" repeated. It will be a safe count to say that two-thirds of those who saw it in January will see it again; aud enough of those who were not there will doubtless avail them selves this second chance to fill the house. The proceeds of the production will be given to one of Raleigh's most popular and enterprising charitcs, the Ministering Circle of King's daughters, an organization the name of which is a synonym for the most devoted effort and grati fying results in home charity work. The Ministering Circle ard the Clique Dramatique ure certainly a popular pair.
