The proprietors of the Visitor are always anxioos and willing to ac commodate their patrons as far as it can ue done without detriment to the interests of the paper, or injustice to our friends. Oar space is limited, and in order to make the columns at' tractive, the matter should be as va ried as possible. 1 he numerous nom inations for official preference, thus early in the campaign, will prove too heavy on our columns for gratuitous insertion, and, hence, we feel under the necessity of adopting a scale of rates for the insertion of such cards, or communications. Hereafter a charge of twenty-five cents an inch (eight lines) or less, will be made for such insertions. Largest City Circulation. Index to New Advertisements. J Rowan Rogers Execution Sale.

Col John Robinson, Commissioner of Agriculture, said today that he has never seen cotton and corn improve so much as it has in the last few days In all his life; that from present pros pects there must be abundant crops made this year. You will notice that the money con tributed on yesterday at Chapel Hill to endow the chair of History at the University came not so much from the wealthy, but from the well to do people, who have made their own money. We have received the first number of the North Carolina Intelligencer, published in this city by T R Jerni gan, Esq; editor; and proprietor. It is a thirty two column weekly jour nal, devoted to the "current, domed tic and foreign news, and to the in terests of the business men." It Is democratic. It is admirably gotten up and presents a fine appearance. We wish it abundant success. ' Special Meeting.

The public are invited to attend. v Death of Mrs A Porter. We regret to announce the death of this most estimable lady which took place yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the residence of her son, Mr J H Porter, in Brooklyn village, northwest of the city. Mrs Porter was the relict of the late Mr Henry Porter, one of our most beloved fellow citizens, and was a lady esteemed for her many noble traits of character. The funeral services took place from Edenton Street M E Church, (of which she was a consistent member) at 4 o'clock th''s afternoon. The rela fives and friends of the deceased lady have our heartfelt sympathy. Our ' University. There was a large attendance at Chapel Hill, yesterday, and the exer cises were of more than ordinary in terest. The degrees of D D were con ferred upon Rev J H Cordon and Rev F L Reid, of this city, and the degree of LL p upon J ustice Clark of the Su preme court. The degree of A B was conferred upon Mr St Clair Hester. Several other degrees were conferred. Prof Horace Williams formerly of this State, but now of Harvard Uni versity was selected to fill the chair of Moral and Mental Science, caused by the death of Dr A W Mangum. This is considered a most fitting ap pointment, as Prof Williams, was for several years .Professor of German at Trinity College. Some Suggestions to our Board of Aldermen. If there can be found any Jaw for it, our Board of Aldermen at their meet ing on Friday night ought to appro priate $250 for lire works on 4th of July, provided $250 more is raised by the citizens. The Raleigh Cornet Bind should be recognized by the Board, first by paying off the debt due on their in struments; second, by an alio wane j of $1,000 annually to be paid to the men serving regularly in the same, and paid monthly on the warrant of the leader and secretary, in such ratio as the Band shall determine each is entitled to. Now these suggestions may sound wild to some people but they are rea sonable and right, and would add to the enjoyment of our people and in the end be heartily endorsed. If the Band had this encouragement they would cheerfully give concerts in the afternoon or at night two or three times during the week in the capitol square and on all occasions contribute their share to public need in this line. Gentlemen of the Board, the Visi tor moves these two propositions. Who will second the motion? Will yon adopt them? Personal Mention. We were pleased to see Sheriff ' Joe" Hoskins, of Guilford, in the city yes terday. Mrs E B Thomas and daughter Minnie.are on a visit to her daughter, Mrs B F Cooke, of Franklin county. Miss Lillian1, daughter of John W Thompson, Esq, arrived at home to day from Salem Female College. Rev DrJ P Barrett returned this morning from Virginia where he went to attend the funeral of his father in law, Elisha Everett, Esq. Mr Miles Goodwin, who has been Chief of Police of Smith field for the past six years, was in the city today on his way to Norfolk which place he intends to make his home in the fu ture, vve regret to lose nim very much as he is one of the best of citi zens. Ex Sheriff Moore, of Granville, is in the city. Mrs J C S Lumsden is visit in jr her daughter Mrs Fleming, at Roper, Washington county. Mrs Geo H Glass and sister, Miss Laura Taylor, returned from Rich mond yesterday evening. Hon George W Sanderlin passed through the city this morning on his way to Greenville, where he will de liver the address before the young la dies of Greenville Female Academy tomorrow. Mr Norfleet Smith, of Halifax coun ty, is in the city. Mr W H Long, of Warren county, is in town and grows jollier and bet ter looking with each big crop he pitches. A Natatorium. Of all the things that our city needs just now is a bath house and swim ming pool. With .water works and sewerage it can be established in the the center of the city and being so convenient would command large patronage. For next three months it can run without a boiler because the water will not need heating, and the patronage of the summer will jus tify fitting up for warm baths in win ter. A wooden house with br.ck cement ed swimming pool, witli shower and tub baths surrounding, is all that is needed. It need not cost over $500 to begin with, and the floor of the swim ming pool be graded for various depths, so that children as well as grown people could use it. The baths could be placed at 25 cents each for use of service, including soap and towels. We know of nothing that would pay so well for the investment as this enterprise and we suggest that some one establish it at once. If no one else will do it. the Raleigh Water Works Company should. Putting Up Electric Light Poles in Corn Fields. W H Pace, Esq, returned to the city yesterday afternoon from Knox ville, Tenn. Mr Pace says that East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia are on a tremendous boom; that at a town of eight hundred inhabitants in Southwest Virginia they are building up a complete line of electric light system, putting up poles in corn fields and woods, putting in water works, &c, and that property is selling at fabulous prices; that Northern and English capital is pouring into that country and numbers of men are making fortunes dealing in real es tate. We hope soon to see Raleigh aroused to the importance of keeping up with the spirit of the times in the matter of progressive industries. The South is bound to be the favored sec tion after awhile. In a conversation with Mr W H Pace, today, he informed us, that work would be commenced on the new Union depot at an early date. Mr Pace deserves the highest commen dation for the zeal and energy he has displayed for the accomplishment of this purpose. ! SPECIAL NOTICES.
