The Celebration.
Everything is being gotten in per
feet trim for the celebration on the
fourth of July. The committee, con
sisting of Messrs Alex Stronach, Jas
Boylan, W B Grimes, G E Leach and
F A Olds, have issued posters an
nouncing the programme, which will
include a firemens' and military pa
rade. drill by uniformed .Knights of
Pythias, and a magnificent display of
fire works. During the day and night
there will be a grand festival on Nash
square in aid of the Soldiers Home,
and three of the hest bands of the
stutfl will be present. The fire works
will be under the management of an
expert sent from New York for the
nnrnose. It is hoped that Senator
Vance and other distinguished gen
iJemen will be present

Struck by Lightning.
During the precedence of the storm
last nieht. a tremendous crash of
thunder startled the community gen
erally. Soon afterwards, about 10:30
o'clock, the alarm of fire was sound
ed, and it was discovered that the
house of Mr Joseph Ball on Person,
between Davie and Martin streets
had been struck and set on fire. The
fire department responded promptly
and the flames were subdued without
any meterial damage.
Fix up Your Windows.
We beg pardon for saying that too
many of our merchants neglect their
windows. Instead of makiDg them
attractive and ornamental they are
so neglected as to make the store re
pulsive to the passer by. There are
exceptions, to be sure, and Eome of
these are beautiful.
It don t make any difference what
the business is, if it occupies a place
on a business street the windows and
doorway should be made -just as at
tractive and inviting as possible.
Think of a house advertising Fresh
Honey" and "Country Butter," on
an old dox top set jout against tne
side of the house, and you look up to
see windows so fly specked and dusty,
with old rubbish piled up in it until
you can't see in the store who wants
the honey or butter?
We are e pecting a large crowd
here on the 4th of July, and it be
hooves us all to put on our best looks
and make a bright show and then to
keep it up. fcoap and water are cheap
and these will keep the windows
clean A little labor every morning
will put a new face in them to greet
the passer by.
The Soldiers' Home Festival
It is with the greatest gratification
and pride we announce that arrange
ments are being perfected for the great
festival to take place soon for the
benefit of the Soldiers' Home, and by
next Saturday, it is hoped, and ex
pected, tnat everytnmg will be in
readiness. Mr Fraps has kindly con
sented to loan the committee a large
tent in which the minstrel show will
take place. One great convenience
will be good water, which it has been I
arranged to have in abundance on
the Square. Arrangements have been
made with Mr Dughi to have his birds
on exhibition, and, as he has a large
selection, many of which have been
lately received, and others on the
way, this will be an attraction of the
highest merit. In the line of music
there will be nothing in the way of a
drawback. In fact, the music of the
occasion will be a most interesting
feature. The white band has been
organized for this special occasion,
and will practice regularly, com
mencing tonight. There is, it is hoped,
a good prospect for permanent organ
isation of the band. And just here
we must express the hope that they
will not only be aided by individuals
but by the city; The people of Ral
eigh would, in our opinion, cordially
endorse a small appropriation by the
Board of Aldermen towards the or
ganization of the band, so that we
might have public concerts, say
twice a week during tne summer
months. It would be a cheap luxury,
I of which we can hardly believe any
person would complain. The tennis
court will be used for games on the
second and third days of July, for
State championship, and arrange
ments have been made to have players
here' from Durham, Henderson, Ox
ford, Hillsboro, Tarboro, ani perhaps
other places. It is proposed to offer
prizes for singles and doubles.
The space under the avenue of
elms will be neatly covered with
awnings, under which will be the
tables. Near the northeast corner of
the Square will be the location for
dancing. It will be covered with
awning and floored. Plenty of seats
will be provided, and Chinese lanterns
under the glare of electric lights will
enliven the surroundings. A com-
patent orchestra has been engaged
for the dancing.
In a word it can safely be asserted
that the occasion will be one of the
grandest of the kind ever gotten up
in North Carolina, and the cause for
which it is inaugurated should ad
dress itself to the most liberal patron
age of all our people.
Cost ol the Carpenters' Strike.
The carpenters' strike, which was
inaugurated thioughout the United
States by the United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners on May 1 for
eight hours as a day's work, had cost
the Brotherhood up to June 12 over
$63,000. Of this amount more than
$60,000 has been paid to unions for
the support of their members, as fol

It is a Remarkable Fact.
That we sell more toilet soap than
any one store in town. Do you know
why? Simply for the reason that we
handle none but pure and first class
goods and we sell them for less than
half the price others get for same
goods. You remember some time ago
we told you about a big lot of Glyce
rine toilet soap we had at 5c a cake,
equal to Pears' celebratrd goods. We
have today received another big lot
of these goods, and we will be glad to
have all of our friends to call and get
supplied with this soap. It needs no
recommendation to those who have
once used it. We simply make this
announcement to let you know that
the new supply has come.

Practical Value of Weather In
dications. W H Morrison, of Gibson Station,N
C, writes in June, 1889: "This is a
farming section in the strictest sense,
and the indications are noticed by a
great many of our farmers, as they
are the people most affected by chang
es in. tne weatner. Tne com wave
warnings are particularly noticed by
all classes. I never hear any one say
much about the indications until the
wires are down, or something hap
pens to prevent their getting here,
and then the inquiries are nume
rous."
These telegrams of indications and
cold wave and frost warnings are sent
free to communities on telegraph.
