The Atlantic Hotel at Morehead
City is fast filling up with guests for

folk? We hear of no announcement
about it.
Raleigh should have a first class
band, but just how to get one seems
to be the difficulty.
Nothing of much public interest in
the departments at the Capitol to
day.
Read the announcement of Messrs
W H & R S Tucker & Co. They are
foremost in low prices.
Work on West Martin Street iB pro
gre&sing rapidly and it will soon be
one of the prettiest thoroughfares in
the city.

the attendance is limited to only
those holding tickets of invitation
The art gallery will also be open to
night for the inspection of visitors
It is suggested that our excellent
Governor ask the next General As.
sembly for a small appropriation to
wards an arsenal. This will be a good
plan to get rid of the old, unsightly
building in the Southwest corner of
the Capitol Square.
Josephus Daniels, Esq, the accom
plished editor of the State Chronicle,
has been selected to deliver a me
morial address,on the life and services
of the late Professor Mangum, at the
next commencement at Chapel Hill.
The selection is a most admirable one
in all respects.
There is talk of an excursion to
Richmond, Va, at an early day, via
Durham, Oxford and Kej sville. This
will be a most delightful trip to the
Capital of the Old Dominion, and,
will, no doubt be taken advantage of
bv many, if the fare is put at a low
rate.
The books for listing taxes are now
, opened at the court house. In order
to avoid a rush, it would be well to
list promptly. In case there is failure
to list, the penalty is quite heavy. Go
and list your property at once. Messrs
WD Haywood and Mills H Brown
will attend to you all right
Attention is directed to the adver
tisementof the Raleigh Spring Bed
Company. They are putting up the
best and neatest spring beds in this
country. It should be remembered
that all who give orders before the
1st of July will get them much cheap,
r than after that time. Call and see
for yourselves at their headquarters
over Jones & Powell's store on WU-
mington street
Lots of people getting ready for the
mountains and sea-shore. The stay-at-'
ome crowd will soon be lonely.
The camp grounds at Wrightsville
are being put in order for the en
campment of the State Guard which,
it is expected will be a grander suc
cess than ever this season.
Now that we have neatly all the
other modern improvements, give us
some public baths. How the people
would appreciate them just about
now, can well be imagined.
Maj R W York, of this county, has
been invited to deliver an address on
the battle of Sharpsburg, with spe
cial reference to the part taken by
the 6th regiment of which lie was a
gallant member.
Cheering accounts continue to be
received at the agricultural depart
ment from all points of the State re
lative to the crops. The South seems
to be on a boom in all respects. We
have left hard times behind us.
St Johns Hospital.
A very interesting entertainment
will be given at Metropolitan Hall
tomorrow night for the benefit of St
Johns Hospital. It will include most
of the fancy dances,with music of the
moBt delightful kind. The object is
a most laudable one and we hope it
will be well patronized.
Our Summer Resorts.
It is most cheering to note that our
mountain and seaside resorts are an
ticipating a heavy attendance during
the summer, as the applications for
accommodations are more numerous
than usual. This is an excellent sign
and shows that our people are at last
appreciating the fact that we have
places in North Carolina, equally as
conducive to health and pleasure, as
elsewhere. Let us aid in building up
our own resorts. Keep all the money
we can at home. Our folks need It.
Encouraging.
Messrs A B Stronach and James
Boylan, of the citizens committee, re
port that the outlook for a creditable
celebration the coming forth of July
is good, tut that no efforts will be
spared to increase the subscriptions
already in sight. Much will depend
upon the action of the railroads in
the way of cheap rates, but it is
hoped that this will be all right. Let
our people enter with unanimi y into
the matter and we will have the best
celebration we have had for many
years.
Attention! Old Confederates.

Comrades: Tour earnest efforts
are expected to raise a luni witn
which to meet tne funeral expenses
of our late comrade, Western R Rog
ers, who died at St John's Hospital
June 9th. He was a laboring man,
maimed in the battle of the Wilder
ness, and died leaving five children,
three of whom are very young. Give
what you can of our own means, but
ask freely of those for whose sake he
lost his arm, and with it the capacity
to render such charity as we now ask
needless. B F Park,
President Veterans' Association.

June.
Our esteemed contemporary, the
Durham Sun, thus paints the beau'
ties of the month of June all of which
we endorse :
This is the time of year when young
men and women put on rose-tinted
glasses and look at the beautiful
world with pride, and wonder and
admiration. Some have left their
schools graduated and now visions
in plenty of political careers, avenues 1
! that will bring fame, fortune, nonor
J and success. Others are in the midst j
j of commencements, attended by
proud fathers, fond mothers, light-
I hearted sisters and blushing sweet-
, hearts. Altogetner June is agranu
' month.
Hillsboro Road. 1
Is it not about time that work was
commenced on the Hillsboro road if
it is to be repaired before the fair?
Now is a good time to begin opera
tion. It should be remembered, that
this is the main outlet from the city
to the fair grounds and hence the
necessity of having it kept in good
order. We hope our supervisor of
roads will not delay the matter longer
than absolutely necessary.
"Playing the Fool."
A very large and appreciative audi
ence attended at Metropolitan Hall
last night, to hear the R-v Thos
Dixom deliver his celebrated loctrre, '
'Playing the Fool. All agree that it
was indeed an intellectual treat of the
highest order, abounding in the high- i
est style of oratory interspersed with j
wit and humor. The lecture occu
pied a little over an honr, during
which time the audience can be said
to have been held "spell bound."The
distinguished speaker divided his
subject into the following classes:
1. Original All Round Steel Blade
Fools.
2. Wooden headed Fools.
4. One eyed Fools.
4. Cross eyed Fools(those who have
a distorted vision )
5. The King Fools the fools en
masse.
6. Fools for the Fun of It.
7. Mule headed Fools.
8. Fools We Love (those who are
in love.)
Mr Dixon was introduced by Gov
ernor Fow'e who spoke in the high
est praise of the distinguished North
Carolinian
Mr Dixon left this morning for
Wake Forest College, where he de
livers the annual address.
Drake's Magazine.
"Tattooine at a Fine Art" in the
June Drake's Magazine, is a very in
teresting account of the practice
among the South Sea Islanders of
profusely decorating their bodies
with permanent .color. The article
is finely illustrated.: "Shorty Brown's
Sunday School" is a humorous illus
trated t ketch of life in a mining camp
bv Thos P Montfort. Charles Howard
Shinn sends a fine character study in
Plume of Shasta. His Mine." A
very funny thing in this number is
C N Hood's "The Deaf Customer in a
Shoe Store." Amy Elizabeth Leigh's
poem, "My Neighbor's Garden"
sneaks good sentiment. Edward S
Fowler contributes a capital article
on "Sights in Havana" illustrated
bv F C Drake. Lieut H D Smith's
"In Peril" is a story of naval adven
ture told in his most exciting vein,
"Jottines" are resumed this month
with renewed terseness and force
"Quacks" represent all that is best in
original native humor, illustrated
and otherwise. $1.00 per year.

A Queer Enactment.
Who in this day and generation
would believe that at any time in
North Carolina, a Btate of slavery
would have been preferred, by even
the most ignorant colored person, to
a condition of liberty. But, so it
seems, as aDDears from an act of the
General Assembly, passed at the ses
sion of 1858 59. As something of
curiosity we give it in full as follows
"A Bill for the Relief of Emily Hoop
er, of Liberia.
"Be it enacted by the General As
sembly of the State of North Carolina,
and it is hereby enacted by the au
thority of the same, that Emily
Hooper, a negro and a citizen of the
Reoublic of Liberia, be and she
is
hereby permitted voluntarily to re
turn into a state of slavery, as the
slave of her former owner, Miss Sal
lie Mallett, of Chapel Hill, and that
this act be in force from and after
the ratification thereof."
(Ratified 2nd of February, 1859.)

We Are a One Idea'd Fool.
Judging by Mr Dixon's standard of
what constitutes or makes the differ
ent kinds of fools, we have decided
that we are of that class called one-
eyed fools, or a person with only one
idea. Mr Dixon tells us that this
class of fools are dangerous, because
he has but one idea and he devotes
his whole time and energy to the pro
motion and advancement of this one
thought. He has some definite object
in life; some ultimate mark to reach
and no obstacle or difficulty that can
be overcome by human agency will
deter him in his purpose. We say
that we are this class of fools, and
our one idea is now and has always
been to lead the great army on the
mercantile battle field in superiority
of fabric, and in giving the greatest
possible value for the least possible
out-lay of money. How well we have
succeeded in playing the fool on this
line in Raleigh, we leave the people
to say. V e have always sold the best
goods for less money than others do
and are doing it today; then if we are
fool enough to sell you goods cheaper
than any one else, you would be a
fool not to profit by it would'nt you
