tentiary authorities today.
The familiar figure of our friend, T

streets, now ambles no more, but is
seemingly wafted upon the wings of a
zephyr he rides a safety bycicle.
Rev J J Hall delivered the address
before the Foreign Missionary Socie
ties at Shaw University last night to
quite a large crowd. It is almost
needless to say that the address was
admirable.

Company left this morning on an ex

fine appearance as they marched
through the streets this morning
headed by Stanley's Band.

Takftn Suddenly 111.
We deeply regret to state that our
esteemed fellow citizen. Col Win E
Anderson, President of the Citizens
National Bank, was taken suddenly
ill today. He had been engaged at
his desk in the Bank during the day,
and, about 1 o'clock he remarked to
the Cashier, J G Brown, Esq, that
one of his hands felt numbed. He
then became suddenly ill, and but for
aid would have fallen. : He became
insensible, and has remained so ever
since. His condition is regarded as
moBt critical.
Later. 4:30 R m The physicians
say that Col Anderson is certainly no
better, with chances all against his
recovery. He, and his family, haye
the heartfelt sympathy, of the entire
community. v '. i

The Mecklenburg Declaration
Celebrated in Fine Style.
The celebration in Charlotte yester
day was a grand success in all res
pects. The day was beautiful and a
tremendous crowd was in attendance.
Gorgeous decorations were seen on
every side, and bunting displayed
from most of the houses. The mili
tary and firemen made a fine show.
The procession was at out a mile
long and took forty minutes to pass
by. An attractive feature in the dis
play was a fine show of cattle and
horses. At 1:30 o'clock the proces
sion halted in front of Sam Jones'
tabernacle, on Tryon street, and im
mediately the immense crowd began
to fill that great tent where the
speaking was to take place. In half an
hour almost every seat under the
mammoth roof was filled. The crowd
present was estimated at 5,000.
Many prominent gentlemjn were
present, among whom are noted Sen
ator Vance, Gov Fowle, Auditor San-
derlin and others.
A fair estimate of the crowd is made
at ten thousand. Last night a bra
liant ball and banquet was given by
the North State Club.
The result of the military contest
was as roiiows: Wilmington, nrsx
prize; unariotte second, Monroe
third.
The firemens' contest took place to
day.

THE GRADED SCHOOLS.
A Splendid Entertainment and
an Immense Crowd in
Attendance.
The entertainment given at Metro
politan Hall last night, by the three
hundred children of the Raleigh Gra- i
ded School was"an immense success, '
both in the number of persons pres- j
ent, and those who participated in
the exercises. There could not have ;
been less than one thousand persons .
in the audience, all the available
space in the hall being filled. ,
The entertainment was admirably
selected, consisting of ten pieces, end- j
ing with a tableau. Choruses and j
songs were rendered by a large num j
ber of children from six to nine j ears
of age, in charge of Mrs D T Ward,
and nobly did the little ones perform
their part. They were warmly ap
plauded and encored.
About fifty of the children rendered
a motion song, suiting the action to
the word, with splendid effect.
Twenty little girls rendered a Mika
do Drill.in Japanese Costume. They
were given shouts of applause.
A Calesthenic Drill by girls and a
Dumbbell exorcise by boys.added an
other pleasing feature to the occa
sion. A Gipsey March was exceedingly
well rendered under the direction of
Messrs Pool and Strong.
Postures, rendered by little girls, in
charge of Mrs Ward, was fine, the va
rious emotions being expressed in a
life like manner.
Recitations and a Cantata, made
up a most delightful feature of the
evening,and the entertainment closed
with a magnif cent tableau.
At the close Mayor Thompson put
it to a vote whether the eercises
should be repeated, which was an
swered in the affirmative with an
unanimous vote.
The entertainment will be repeated
tonight, and a tremendous crowd will
be on hand. Secure seats at Lee,
Johnson to Co's.
A Fine Printing Press Bab
cocks Optimus Two Revolution
Book Press.
We paid a visit today to the print
ing establishment of Messrs Edwards
to Broughton, mainly for the purpose
of witnessing the new printing press
just received by them. It is oue of
the most beautiful specimens of the
kini that we hayeever seen, and we
know that there is not another of the
kind in the State and we do not think
in the South. The press is intended
for fine book work. It weighs 10,000
pounds and prints 1200; sheets an
hour. It runs perfectly smooth an J
does not make as much noise as a
sewinsr machine. It cuts the!sheets
perfectly smooth and places them
in position with as much or more fa
cility than human hands could per
form the work. Messrs Edwards to
Broughton have of late done as fine
book work as any house in the South
ern States, and they will now be pre
rared to do better in the future. The
E 7
books recently gotten out for Judge
Schenck and Hon A M Waddell at
visit Mr John E Ray, one of North
test the excellence of the work
turned out at this establish
ment, and their success in all their
undertakings proves their untiring
energy and business qualifications
To all who desire to witness a most
cnranlete Diece of mechanism, we
would suggest a visit to see the oper
ations of this press. It is so perfect
and works with such ease as to chal
lenge the admiration of all who see it

Billie Patterson.
Who was Billie Patterson ? You
don't know, but would like to know;
well listen, Billie Patterson was a
man, (or at least we suppose he was a
man,) that we never saw, nor do we
know him. We do know however
how to sell nice dress goods cheaper
than any one else can. We also know
that we have as nice aline of summer
goods of all kinds as any house in the
city. Our white goods are beautiful
and we can beat the State on prices
for white goods. We don't believe
that Billie Patterson or any other
man could sell you goods as cheap as
we do. We have the best selected
line of b'ack silk drapery nets in the
city. They are cheap too. We have
just got a lar.e line of misses and
children's slippers all styles and the
cheapest you will see this season.
Our millinery department is still
running on full time and we finish
more pretty hats every day than any
two places 4n town. We sell them
cheaper, that's why we do it, at
Swindell's.
OUR MANUFACTORIES.
(Cor. to the Visitor.)
I have seen an article signed 'Ral
eign" speaking about our dealers who
talk against our manufactures. This
is very much like some of .our mer
chants. I know a tobacco manufao -turer
that rented a large two etory
brick building from a merchant that
does a large business in Raleigh. The
manufacturer tried to sell him, but
he never bought a pound, and in the
meantime bought one hundred boxes
from other markets. And others are
doing the same thing every day. They
rather patronize other than their own
people. So long as this continues we
will never be any better off. Let ub
patronize home industries. ,
