Agricultural and Industrial
Notes.

yesterday, appropriated $300 to the
colored Industrial Association to be
expended nnder the auspices of the
Commissioner of Agriculture.

A Balking Horse.
Yesterday afternoon as the 5.30
o'clock stre3t car was on its trip up
Fayetteville street, one of the horses
became unmanageable, and despite
all the entreaties of the driver, coup
led with slight force, refused to move
another inch in the right direction
He managed, however, to pull the car
off the track and for a time it rattled
over the pavement towards the east
ern sidewalk of the street. The diffi
culty seems to have been that the
horse was not well broken, and hence
he concluded to break somebody's
limbs, if possible. The best comment
we can make, is to modestly suggest
to the Street Car Company not to .mt
such dangerous beasts on their line.
The Census Alan.
"Pray what is' your age?" said the

And ye damsel spoke never a word,
"Are you foolish, insane, deaf, hump
backed or lame?"
And she smiled at a thought so ab
surb.
"Do you powder or paint?" and her
smile it grew faint.
"Do you snore, Miss, and have you
cold feet?"
Ye damsel yet ehe spake not, you
bet,
But ye man he lay dead in the
street. Exchange.
The Latest Hold Up.
Chicago Tribune.
The two men who had been sitting
together in the seat near the door of
the car became engaged in an anima
ted controversy, and their loud voices
attracted the attention of all the oth
er passengers. Suddenly one of them
rose up and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I appeal to
you to decide a disputed point. My
friend here insists that not more than
three persons out of five believe they
have bouls. I take a more cheerful
view of humanity. Will all of you
who believe you have souls raise your
right hands?"
Every right hand in the car went
up.
"Thank you," he said, with a smile,
"Keep them up just a moment. Now,
will all of you who believe in a here
after Dlease raise your left hand
also?"
Every left hand in the car went up
"Thank you again," he said. Now
while all of you have your hands
raised," he continued, drawing a pair
of revolvers and leveling them, "my
friend here will go down the aisle and
relieve vou of whatever valuables
-
you may happen to have. Lively,
now' Jim.

We Would be Glad to See
Every lady in Raleigh at our Store in
the next ten days to see the most
wonderfully cheap line of muslin un
derwear ever shown in the city. We
can easily give you a margin of 20
per cent over the same class of goods
offered elsewhere. It may seem to
some that we are wonderful boasters
on account of our saying so positively
and so often that we sell our goods
cheaper than others. But when you
look at it from a business point you
will see that it is simply a matter of
business. We make it a study, day by
day, to find these bargains; if we did
as others do that is buy our goods
from the same old regulars from one
year to another, we could not expect
to sell you goods for any less than
they do. We don't buy goods in that
way. When we go to New York we
go with the American money and we
search diligently for bargains in every
line of goods, and we always find
them. Then, when we say that we
have a bargain for you, you can take
your pocket book and go right
straight to Swindell's.
