Great damage has been done in the city and surrounding country. Many homes both here and on the plantations were demolished. The loss of life is aDDalling. Reports thus far receiv ed show over seven hundred persons killed. Muscatine is in Iowa on the Chi cago, Rock Island and Pacific Rail road on the Mississippi river, and has about 9,000 people. A Good Record. During the career of Rev. Dr. Jones, late President of the Greensboro Fe male College, he had more than three thousand young ladies under his charge, and out of this number four hundred and ninety three were grad uates. This is a splendid showing and a record of which but few can boast. The World's Fair. Our highly esteemed citizen, Col. A. B. Andrews, who has recently re turned from Chicago, where he went as a commissioner from North Caro lina to attend the meeting of the com mittee, is enthusiastic over the pros pects. The Colonel thinks that North Carolina should take action to place herself in line with the other States in the matter of contributing to the success of the fair. We most earnest ly hope, that the suggestion of Col. Andrews for our legislature to make a suitable appropriation, will be fa vorably considered. It will be the means of placing the great resources of our State prominently before the world, and will invite such iminigra tion as will tend to build up our va ried enterprises. We hope when the general assembly meets that Col. An drews will give his views on the sub ject. There is no gentleman in North Carolina, whose opinion is entitled to more consideration on all matters af fecting the interest of North Caro Una Personal Mention. Mr. Chas. K. Lewis, son of Mr. R.

He reports the crops in his section as very promising, but needing rain; that wheat was very poor; that he has been threshing for some weeks, and that the yield is only about from 8 to 5 to one. In order to close out stock of cloth ing, underwear, etc, special induce ments are being offered at D. S. Waitt's. J. S. Wyhnk, jy9 6t ; Trustee. POLITICAL TALK. Figuring For The County Of-1 fices. These are long hot days; business is not very brisk, and the watermelon and cantaloupe trade is just opening. Its a good tirna to talk if you can find a shady place where the breeze will occasionally strike. In hunting for such a spot we fall in with quite a number of groups during the day. During thi forenoon of yesterday the conversation was devoted to the congressional convention ,t Greens boro. By three o'clock the news of Baldy William's nomination as the candidate selected for the 5th district settled that matter and Wake county affairs were taken up as unfinished business. The burden of determination on the part of democratic politicians seemed to be turned on Capt. Chas. D. Upchurch, who has so long enjoy ed the office of Clerk of the Superior Court of Wake County. It's a fat office with big pay an 1 there are plenty of fellows that want it. "Char lie Upchurch is a hard man t buck against" is the general expression. He has made an efficient officer, and is just as clever as it is possible to be It don't make any difference whether its a Baptist Union Meeting at Holly Springs or a Democratic Barbecue or a Soldiers' Home Festival, you will find him on hand, and if a collection is taken up he will be as liberal as the best of them. Prof. E. M. Goodwin would like to be the clerk of Wake county, and he really believes that he can come as near getting the place as anybody.. He "stands in" with the Alliance brethren, and is encouraged very much in that direction. But John Thompson is an old hand at the business and commenced the race for the clerk's place some time ago, and it is thought is in the lead for the nomination Everybody in the county knows him and in this he has great advantage. They say Mr. Thompson fully believes he can get more votes than Charlie Upchurch. In the meantime Clerk Upchurch smiles and keeps sweet and declares that he is really uneasy, but some how feels that be will be re-elected. There are quite a number of candi dates aftwr Sheriff Rowan Rogers. He too has a good office, and yet, nobody can recollect a sheriff that ever made any money out of the office. In fact most of them have come out behind. Capt. Mack W. Page, of Morrisville, is not at all discouraged by his defeat at last election and is making a hard drive for the nomination this time. That he would make a good officer nobody doubts, and he stands a pood chance for success. W. N. Snelling, Esq., of Raleigh, is pushing towards the office of Regis ter of Deeds, and his friends feel very little doubt about his nomination by the Democratic Convention. "Buck Adams" the present incumbent is a very quiet man but there are very few men that can beat him election eering, and although there are kick ers against him in his own party he generally manages to get their votes. The most quiet man in the court house is Lewis 0 Lougee, the County Treasurer. The Republicans elected their man two years ago but he couldn't give the bond, and Mr. Lou gee the democratic candidate was elected by the County Commissioners. He has made a very acceptable officer to all parties, and with a bond of $170,000 staring them in the face no body is after his place. It is quite probable that he will have no oppo sit ion. We will hunt some more shady places and see who are talked of for the legislature. In consequence of important well planned merchandise movements ma turing, we will be enabled to make each day of July a notable period of bargain securing. McKimmon, Moseley & McGee. A Matrimonial Mishap. There is considerable sensation in the community caused by rumor of a matrimonial event which was to have taken place yesterday afternoon in 1 Johnston county between parties j well known. It seems, however, that the would be groom on arriving at the place where the proposed mar riage was to have taken place found to his ntter consternatior and surprise that the fair lady had disappeared in company with his nephew. The old adage that there is many n "slip between the cup and lip" comes in well here. For fear that we may not be properly posted in the matter, the names of the parties are for the present witheld. In due time J however, we suppose the plain state ment of the case may crop out. SPECIAL NOTICES. Onions, Irish potatoes, snow flake hominy and fresh eggs. R H Womble. Our Shoe Trade.
