An Example for Richmond.
Richmond Dispat h.
Our neighboring sister capital Ral
eigh is preparing with enthusiasm for
a celebration of the Fourth within
her limits. There are to be a military
and civic parade, speeches,and a cost
ly display of fireworks at night free
to the people. Yance,the inimitable,
the able, the genuinely patriotio.is to
be one of the talkers on the occasion,
and this alone will make the celebra
tion attractive. The Tar Heel me
tropolis sets a good example one that
we should be glad to see Richmond
follow. She will aid in keeping bright
the fires of patriotism; she will make
the coming holiday especially enjoy
able to the masses of her people, the
oan't-get-aways, and the poor, and
will at the same time probably put
money in her tradesmen's purse.

These are in new cages, and with the
other birds and animals he before had
in his collection, make up an exhibi

a special tent these will all be shown,
in the most attractive way, and will
certainly be a feature of the fair.
Another event of the fair, in a
musical way, will be a concert in
which thirty guitar players will take
part. So great a number of guitar
players were never before seen here
and the music will be something de
lightful.
Arrangements were made today for
an excursion here from Goldsboro on

great many people who will not only
enjoy the celebration of the 4th but
will be present at the Soldiers' Home

Thursday is children's day at the

glorious time there after 6 o'clock

special features for their gratification.

tain a pretty prize. Then there will
be the "country store," whi h will
greatly delight the children.
A car load of choice Georgia water
melons will be kept on ice and will be
sold at the fair. They will be some
thing for all to enjoy. Then on the
4th there will be the nicest barbecue
which can be prepared.

Straw Slatting.
We have 20 pieces of Straw Matting
which we will sell at 12 cents per
yard to cut, or $4.25 by the piece of
40 yards. . This is the nicest and cool
est covering for the floor in summer
you can get. It always looks cool and
neat. It cost you much less than a
very common carpet vould, and it
will last longer. This is a very good
quality of matting, and we make this
special price to close. We have the
other better grades and also a nice
line of carpets, all of which we sell at
extremely low figures. We have about
150 short pieces of the finest Brussels
and Moquet carpets, in lengths from
one to four yards,the nicest things for
handsome rugs you have seen. We
did sell these at one dollar per yard
but we propose to put the whole lot
in and give the choice of the lot at
80 cents per yard. This is a real bar
gain for there is not a piece in the
lot worth less than $1.50 per yard. We
have some attractive prices for the
hot months at
