each of the six days allotted to us in
which to labor. I
Today's issue could not be prepared
quite as well as we had hoped for,
but it is an improvement, and aloDg
that line we propose to press. Our
field is not a broad one at present,
but we recognize that it is important.
The Evening Visitor has had
success in the past and found its way
into many a home that knew noth
ing of a daily paper before it came
and many of them today have never
seen none other.
The New York Herald would not
be any compensation to them for the
loss of the Visitor. The London
Times, they have never heard of As
the advertisement of Mrs Wiuslow's
Soothing Syrup has it. "The old
folks like it, and the children cry for
it."
Going into the home Bix times a
week we hope to be a blessing and
shall strive to keep our' columns bo
clean and pure that they 6ball edu
cate and elevate all who peruse them.
It is, of course.human to err, but it
is also God -Like to be charitable, and
if in our course we deal otherwise
than what appears a strict sense of
J ustice may dictate, it will be our
pleasure as it is our duty, to make
amends. On the other hand, we will
claim the privilege to assert our hon
est convictions on all occasions.
The increase of our patronage dur
ing the past week has been exceed
ingly gratifying. Old friends have
renewed their allegiance, and scores
of new ones have joined them. Words
of cheer are extended us on every
hand and we appreciate them, and
hope to meet public expectations.
The Daily Evening Visitor has
no equal as a local advertiser and we
trust our merchants and business
men generally will freely take advan
tage of it. If instead of biting at
every catch penny scheme that comes
along, our business men would learn
that the first and best of all mediums
for reaching the people is the news
paper, it would be much better for
them and greatly aid those of us who
are here to stay.
W e ask again that our friends give
us tneir aid in extending our useful
ness as a publisher of news and as the
special medium for the pr esent and
future development of our beautiful
city.
It is Wonderful
How so many goods can be put in
one store. We have been receiving
goods for the past two weeks, and
not in small lots either, but in car
lots. Our stock is not quite all in yet,
and we have paid more than $200 for
freight. Now, when you think of it.
$200 will pay the freight on a pile of
goods; we have got a pile of them,
and our stock this spring is the pret
tiest, largest and cheapest we have
ever had. We are offering special in
ducements to merchacts and whole
sale buyers, and we can make it to
your interest to trade with us. We
have just opened our spring clothing
and we want you to see it. We have
just 397 new spring suits for you to
look at, and if you can be pleased in
style, quality or price in the United
States we can do it. We say posi
tively, we have got the nicest selec
tion of spring styles of clothing there
is in Raleigh, and our prices are less
than any other house can give you.

that, of all the States mentioned,

Visitor sincerely hopes not.
An Attractive Place.
T i i .
in our rounds tnis morning we
dropped into the Drug Store of Mr J
Hal Bobbitt and found that it has
been entirely renovated, and presents
a most pleasing appearance. It is
decorated with very bright and beau
tiful wall paper, the ceiline beinsr
divided into two large panels with
handsome borders and corner figures,
The prescription department is sepa
rated from main room, by an elegant
lurKeman curtain, suspended at
either side and directly over the pre
scription desk. A poison case is pro
vided, which serves the purpose of
keeping distinct that class of medi
cines. This latter feature is being
universally adopted in all modern
appointed pharmacies.
Enterprise of this kind always im
presses itself upon the minds of the
public who are not slow to their ap
preciation in a substantial way. Hal
is a good fellow, and the Visitor
wishes him unbouuded success.
Guilford College.
We briefly ackt owledged in our
issue or yesterday, the receipt of
an invitation to be present at the
second annual entertainment of the
Henry Clay Society, of Guilford
College, on April 8th. The invita
tion was received from Mr ED Rob
inson, formerly of this city, and one
of our special friends, who is President
of the Society and who is also pub
lisher of the Guilford Collegian,
issued at the college. This is a high,
but deserved honor, as Mr Robinson
is a writer of much merit, and a most
deserving gentleman in all the walks
of life. We bespeak for him a bril
liant future and hope he may realize
his fondest hopes in all respects.
