Bevers & Horton- Berries 1 Berries I Berries I In and Around the City. Go to the lawn party at B.ooklyu church tonight. No break In the heat to any great extent. A park without proper facilities to reach it, is much like an oasis in a desert. Our market was never better sup plied with everything good to eat at the most modera' e prices. Give us another outlet to Pullen Park. As it is, that beautiful retreat is somewhat isolated. A letter box v.' ill be placed on the corner of aj etteville and Hunter streets, on the square of N C Wagon Company. Reports of the inefficiency of the census continue to be received. It is stated that one entire town-hip iu Guilford county has been overlooked. Electricity is said to be cheaper than horse power for street railways, and much more modern. Can't we get, at least, a trial of it in Raleigh? We note that several co operative factories of different .kinds have been started in different sections of the State. Can't we afford one in Raleigh? The engine at the cotton factory has been tested and found all right. Matters are moving on smoothly for a Btart at an early day. Hillsboro road will ' soon be wide enough for two railroad tracks beyond St Mary's, but the people will be sat isfied with one. The gratifying information has been given that there Is more hay and clover raised in Wake this season than at any time since it was a coun ty. This is cheering indeed. Only $2.50 for a trip to Norfolk and return. This is the fare charged by the great Bonanza excuision next Monday. Was there ever so much en joyment for so small a price ? The list takers will s-on close their books. Those who have failed to list their property had better go to the court house and do so at once and save trouble and double tax. It is stated that 25,000 baskets have been already ordered for the grape crop in this vicinity. We learn that the fruit is in much better order than had been anticipated and that at least an average crop will be pro duced. The colored people of this vicinity will have a grand excursion to Rich mond. Va. in August. There will be special accommodations prepared lor such white persons as desire to go. The fare will be placed at a low rate. Maj W W Vass, of the R & G Rail- road and Mr M W Yarringtoo of the Richmond and Petersburg Kaiiroao, are two of the oldest Treasurers in the United States, so far as their terms of office are concerned. Maj Vass looks about as well, and almost as young, as he did twenty five years ago. Union meetings of the Eastern sec tion of Raleigh Association will be held at Clayton tomorrow, com mencing at 11 o'clock and continue until and inclusive of Sunday. The meeting for the Western Section of the Raleigh Association ' will be held at Holly Springs tomorrow, com mencing at 11 o'clock and continue until and inclusive of Sunday even ing. These meetings win De repre eentedby delegates from the Baptist Tabernacle school of this city. Mr Hut Jones, of Cary, Wake coun ty, who went to Danville, Va, about six or eight months ago, died in the latter city yesterday morning at 9 o'clock. His remains were brought to Cary this morning and the funeral took place today at 10 o'clock. He had many friends and was very high ly respected by all. As to the report of the accident to Hon Donald W Bain.our State Treas urer, we are of the opinion that an accident did occur but not of such a nature as to warrant the exaggerated report as given, as Mr B Bain, son of the Treasurer, received a telegram late yesterda evening from his fath er at Germanton, N C, stating that he was well and would be at home today. Backbone. The Greensboro North State thus speaks of the lecture of Rev Thomas Dixon in that city: Rev Thos Dixon's lecture on "Back bone in Benbow Hall last Thursday evening was listened to by a large and intelligent audience. It was an eloquent discourse and was fully up to the expectations of those who heard it. In Luck. We copy the following from an ex change: "Mr Peter Francis, a Peters burg, Va, shoemaker, has invented an alarm lock that is attracting atten tion at home and in England." Mr Francis was. for some years, a resident of Raleigh, and will be re memberedbymany of our people. We learn that he has been offered $50,000 for his invention. Soldiers' Home Festival. Mr Edward Fasnach has very kind ly given a handsome silver and Bohemian glass perfume stand to the soldiers' home fair. The committee has decided to give this as a prize to the person making the nearest guess as to the amount of net receipts of the fair next week. This perfume Btand is on exhibit tion at Mr Fasnach's store. Guess tickets will be on sale tomorrow at all the drug stores, and at Alfred Wil liams & Co's book store, and cost 10 cents each. Married. This morning, Prof Comely, of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, led to the Hymenial altarjMiss Gracie Strong, daughter of Judge George V Strong, of this city. The ceremony took place at the lesidence of the bride's father and was performed by Rev Mr Clark, rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd. After a de lightf ul repast the contracting parties boarded the 11:45 o'clock train for a trip to the principal northern cities, followed by the best wishes of a host of friends in which the Yibitor most heartily joins. Good Music. There is nothing that adds more to the enjoyment of a community than good music. During the sum mer months, it would indeed be re fresnjng to repair to the capitol 8qUare the evening and listen to tne Btrains of a first class band. But we cannot, under existing circum- stances expect this luxury, because I our peopie have not been as as they should have been hi extend Ing aid to those who wish to cater to their pleasure. Now, we think, that a substantial effort should be made to give some pecuniary asssistance to the band of our city. A little from each person would furnish us with fine music, two evenings during the week, and would be a source of the greatest pleasure. Vfe hope our citi zens will take this matter into earnest consideration and give liberally. The times are dull, at best, and we need the inspiring Btrains of music to cheer us up. hei us neip toe r. ana. One of the most horrible crimes was committed at Graham. George Wil son, a negro, committed rape on his own daughter. The brute has been I arrested and there Is much talk of 1 lynching. Taken Up. The track of the street railway on Hillsboro street, between the resi dence of Maj R S Tucker and the ter minus of the road, has been taken up, to facilitate the work of grading. We suppose, of course it will be relaid at the earliest opportunity. Another Edition. Judge Clark is employing his spare time during the vacation in prepar ing a second edition of his annotated code of civil procedure. It will con tain the changes made in the text of the code by the last three legisla tures, and the aunotatious in the last seventeen volumes of the North Car olina reports, together with the ne rules of court, and many other useful additions. Our Depot. We do not wish to be considered importunate, but the matter of com- J mencing our new depot seems to be lagging. It would seem to be highly important that this improvement should be consummated at as early a time as possible and surely our peo pie will need it by the coming fall. The outlook for a fine crop of cotton was never better.and we should have all the facilities for moving it. We hope that those having the erection of the building in charge will push things. We have been looking in ex pectation for a long time an I now the people want activity. Died. Near Roles'ville, Wake county, on June 24th, 1890, Mrs Winnie Watkins, wife of John M Watkins, aged 28 years, one leaves a nusband and two children to mourn their loss; but they need not sorrow as those without hope, as she died in the Lord. She had been a consistent member of the Baptist church for 15 years, In Matehuala, Mexico, June 10th, 1800, after a brief -illness, William Whitsitt Chastain fell asleep in Jesus, aged n'.ne months and twenty-two days. "The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord." Lillian Wright Chastain. Invitations. Messrs W C Stronach and F A Olds, constituting the committee, are send ing out invitations to the different orders to participate in the "Soldiers' Home Festival" next week. The fol lowing is the invitation in full: Raleigh, June 24, 1890. Dear sir: We take particular pleas ure in inviting yourself and the mem bers of your order to be present at the "Soldiers' Home Festival, at Nash square, July 1-4.

Be pleased to make this invitation pub lie. Very truly yours, W C Stronach, F A Olds, Committee. The Celebration. We nave been informed by our friend, Col F A Olds, that the fire works will take place on the night of the 4th of July at the south end of the Capitol square instead of on Moore square, as at first decided up on. This is consid red a more ap propriate place, being in the central part of the city. We also learn that the expert who is to conduct the pyro technic display will be. here next Wednesday to mafee arrange ments. We can confidently state that the display of fireworks will far ex ceed anything of the, kind that has ever taken place in North Carolina and that the committee of arrange ments. will use all means at, their com "mand to make the coming celebration one of the best that has ever been seen in the South.

Will Go to Brooklyn. Our friend, S J Betts, Esq. has de cided to make his home in Brooklyn, N Y. He will assist Rev G S Williams, formerly pastor of the Tabernacle church of this city. Mr Betts has felt for some time that he should give his whole time to mission work, and has chosen this as his field. We deeply regret to lose Mr Betts as a citizen, as he will be greatly missed in this com munity. Wherever he may go, how ever, our best wishes will follow him for his prosperity and happiness. A Cheap Excursion An excursion is in contemplation from Raleigh to ' Morehead City, to leave here on Saturday night, July 12th and return the following Mon day. One of the main objects is to afford an opportunity for those who cannot leave the city in the week, to have a short respite from the cares of business. This will be a splendid chance for those who desire to go to the seashore to do so, at a very small cost. The fare has not yet been an nounced but it will be so low that all can participate. Let there be a very large crowd. SPECIAL NOTICES. For Bent. A convenient 5-room cottage, with garden, and well on lot. Possession given immediately. Apply at this office. Hot as Blazes.
