Millinery Goods.
Our millinery department has grown
t. rapidly In the last two months,
that we can not help feeling elated,
and we feel sure that we have adopt
ed the right way of n jt only holding
the patronage that we already had,
but of doubling it in the future. We do
not Mlow anything, whatever, to be
used or sold in this department that
is not absolutely correc in style, and
of good quality. We have beyond
all doubt got one of the best and
most popular trimmers that has ever
been in Raleigh. Having these ad
vantages, is it any wonder that we
have the best patronage of. the city?
We furnish none but first class goods
and work, and at the same time guar
antee our prices to be lower than you
will find elsewhere. While you are
selecting a hat or bonnet we would
be glad to show you one of the nicest
lines of. dress goods vou have seep in
the city. We have just received a
big lot of buckles and slides for dress
ornaments, at .

The Enthusiasm Is Greater,
If our new department of Bargains
and Undervalues was popular on yes
terday, it is even more so today, as
the increased throng of visitors will at
test. Tomorrow the enthusiasm will
be greater, as new bargains will be
added, and the department assumes
the proportions of an ordinary store,
filled with choice and seasonable
goods, at undervalue prices.

Richmond Dispatch.
Another tragedy is reported in
Mitchell county, N C, at a bar room
just on the Tennessee line. A gentle
man who lived near learned that
there had been a quarrel and a shoot
ing affair and went to the place. ' He
arrived Saturday and describes the
scene as terrible. . here was a dim
light in the miserable cat in and the
cries and groans of men apparently
dying. Behind the bar, on a lude
frame work, lay Hamilton Oaks, a
young man, in the death agony, hav
ing two pistol wounds through the
body. On a bench in another part of
the room was David Oaks, the young
man's uncle, with a bullet wound in
the groin. Around them stood a half
dozen jther men, all of whom had
been drinking. The woundel men
named owned the place, and they
had quarrelled in regard to a settle
ment of their business. One accused
the other of cheating. Pistols were
drawn and firing began in the little
room, only eight by ten feet in size.
Ham Oaks lived two days. A man
named William Bass was stabbed
with a dirk and will die, it 1b believ
ed. Bass shot both the Oakses with a
44 calibre revol"er. David Oaks
injury is serious. This drunken quar
rel and this terrible shooting affair
occurred in a prohibition county.
The tribe of Delaware Indians in
the Indian Territory,; have requested
the Secretary of the Interior to re
commend to Congress that the funds
now held in trust for them by the
government be placed in thoir own
custody. The Indians maintain that
they are fully competent to take care
of the money, as is shown by the ac
cumulation of property which they
have made. They say further that if
they had the money i hey could get
from it a better return than the 5 per
cent interest which the government
now pays. The Delawares number
about 816, and the fund, including
the State bonds, the interest on
which the Government guarantees,
amounts to nearly $900,000. A re
commendation to Congress that the
fund be turned over to the Indians
was made by President Cleveland.
