It has been turned over to Secretary Btronach of the Soldiers' Home Association. The Mayor today fined a party for being drunk on the street five dollars and cost, and in default of payment he was sent to jail for ten days What is the population of Raleigh? We were told today by a very promi nent citizen of this city and one who has given some time looking into the J matter that it is 9,39. W have received the first number of the Daily Register, published at Monroe. It is a neatly printed sheet of sixteen columns, full of news and a good sprinkle of advertisements. The widening of the Avent Ferry road from the Hillsboro road to Pul- len Park commenced yesterday. It will be packed with gravel and made a beautiful thoroughfare. 'He wired in and wired out And left the matter still in doubt, Wht,hr the snake that made the track Was going forward or coming back." John H. WiHiamson,a colored poll tician savs that a convention of the colored Republicans of North Carol! na will be held at Raleigh on the 18tb of August next. If an bargain exists adverse to the extension of the Albemarle and Ral eigh Railroad to this city, surely the railroad committee of the Chamber of Commerce ought to know it, and, if thnv know it. surely they should inform the public of it, so that some thing may be done in the premises, In Wake Forest Township, on Powell's creek, it is said that there are a gr at many cases of sickness; twar nt a malarial, typhoid type. It 1 V V w w m. - - is becoming quite alarming; it is said there are a dozen or more families that v.om nrm rr more cases in them in 11U V wmw the neighborhood. It is said that there was a very af fecting scene at the Oxford Orphan a avium on the announcement tha.. Dr. Dixon would leave. Many of the nmhans shed tears, and Dr. Dixon tr was saiu w utivo eipjBDocu lcgicu, that he bad accepted another pbsi tion. Th dead oak on north side of Moore Square has been cut down, we are glad to say as it has for some time given much uneasiness to many peo pie. This is the last one of the grand old oaks of what was once known as the Baptist Grove which is so well rAmambered bv many of the older inhabitants of the city. Always ahead and original Messrs Whiting Bros., make the only new -and refreshing change from the usual mode at this time of the year of ad vertising at cost, half prices, clear anoe sales, big sacrifices, etc., by of v f ering to the ' publ c something that will surely appeal very temptingly to the taste these hot days. See their new "ad." Will the merchants and business men staud idly by and see corpora tion jealousies deprive our people of proper railroad facilities? This is the question, and, a momentous one it is. We want to handle 60,000 bales of cot ton in Raleigh this season, and we want all the railroad facilities possi ble to get it here. Let us hear from the cotton Exchange on the subject. Find out Just where the difficulty is, gentlemen, and then see to it, that it la removed. A united chaige of the press, all along the line In this section, would start the Albemarle and Raleigh rail road to this city, or be the means of finding out where the hitch is. There is no mistake about this. Why should there be any agree ment that the Albemarle and Raleigh Railroad should linger in the woods? "The greatest good to the greatest number" is our motto. Does not the interest 01' the people outweigh that of corporations. It ought to, surely. Iiively. A large number of colored excur sionists from Norfolk and Portsmouth arrived in the city last evening about 8:80 o'clock. They are a lively crowd and seem to be taking in the sights of the city today. V e hope they will have a srood time. Th-y will leave for home this evening. Increased Pullman Car Service. On and after July 13th the Pullman Palace Sleeping Car Line, heretofore operated between Greensboro and Morristown, Tenn., via Asheville and Hot Springs, will be extended and operated by same route between this city and Morristown, Tenn., on trains 50 51. Sleeping car space may be re served in advance by application to F. H. Dewey, agent, or to W.A.Turk, D. P. A , Raleigh. Is it So ? In its issue, this morning, our neigh bor, the State Chronicle has the fol lowing paragraph concerning the ex tension of the Albemarle and Raleigh Railroad: It has been reported, and it is gener ally understood as a fact, that an agreement exists between the Atlan tic Coast Line and the Seaboard Air Line, under which the Atlantic Coast Line cannot extend its lines to Ral eigh. This may orj may not be. It certainly should not be. The busi ness men or uaieign are not what they ought to be, if they stand by, without protest, and allow the continuance of a combination which deprives Raleigh of much needed advantages Now if any business man wants to know why the Atlantic Coast Line does not come here let him take the above as a clue, and find out why it doesn't come, We deeply regret that our worthy comtemporary did not pursue the clue a little further. The Visitor has heretofore "smelt a rat," and can now exclaim, "Oh, my prophetic soul, my uncle." Personal Mention. Mr. T. A. Lyon, the former popular editor of the Kernersville News, is in 1 he city. He is now engaged in the shoe sole Baving, representing a well known house. May, the little six year old daugh ter of B. F. Montague, Esq., No. 313 New Berne Avenue.is quite sick with the fever. Master Eugene Denson, of the Vis itor newsboy force, has gone on a trip to relatives and friends in Pitts boro. Eugene is a good boy, and de serves recreation. We hope he will en joy himself well. Miss Irene Dunn, of Neuse, is visit ing Miss Mary Avera, on New Berne Avenue. Mr. D. C. Meddleton, of Warsaw, was in the city today. r Rev. Dr. N. B. .Cobb, is so much improved in health he passed through the city today 'on his way to fill his appointment at Middleburg, N. C. Mr. E. W. Pou, of Smithfleld, who is the democratic candidate for solid tor of this district, was in the city to day greeting his friends with a bright and smiling face. Rev. Father Charles, late pastor of the Church of the Sacred Heart, .in this cityi Is spending a ' f e w ' days in Greensboro, with Col. R. M. Douglas, prior to his departure to take charge of St. Leo's Colleee in Florida. MIsb Annie Brown left for the coun try this morning to spend some time with her sister, Mrs. Bnaw. Our Agricultural College. It is most gratifying to note that the committee on education of the House of Representatives has report ed favorably on a bill to appropriate 115,000 a year to an agricultural col- ege in each State, for the first year, with an addition of $1,000 per year until the appropriation reaches $23, 000. This will be a great help to our Agricultural and Mechanical College, and will give it such an income as will render it efficient for the most com plete work. irAi. vi t Vance says, that when he returned to the city, after iherinan's entrance, he was on his way to Washington City, to take take lodging at the oUl capitol prison. He says he went to the State house aud saw "Alex" Tur ner, the colored man who used to wait on the executive office. He gave "Aleck," a cordial shake of the hand, and remarked, "I am glad to see one honest man in the capitol, "Aleck." Aleck gave a broad grin and remark ed, "jes so, 'Guvnor,' I'm here yit" So is the Albemarle and Raleigh Rail road in the woods, but unlike poor "Aleck," we hope it will not die out, but be pushed vigorously forward. An Impressive Service. Last night, at the Baptist Taber nacle church, being the night of the regular church prayer meeting, the Sunday school room was well filled. The pra er meeting service was im pressive but short, and the meeting was turned into a recognition of ser vices of Mr. S. J. Betts, who was formerly a member of this church, but for the past few years his lot has been cast with the Third Baptist church. Mr. Betts has decided to make his home in Brooklyn, last night being the last night he would spend in Raleigh. It was thought proper that some recog nition of his services should be made as an earnest christian worker since he has resided in this city. N. B. Broughton, Esq., spoke in a most earnest and feeling manner of the faithful christian work Mr. Betts has done; how he would be missed by the church, by the mission, by the christian workers of the city, and most of all by the poor of the city who Mr. Betts has so often helped and befriended. At the close of Mr. Broughton's speech he presented Mr. Betts with a handsome copy of God's Word, and in a very touching manner asked Mr, Betts to accept it as a love token from his friends and make it the guide and comfort of his life. Rev. Dr. L. L. Nash was present. He also spoke of the faithful and effi cient work for the cause of Christ which Mr. Betts has done and ex pressed deep regret at his leaving our city, but said Mr. Betts' field would be wider and broader at Brooklyn, and prayed God's blessings upon him and his in their new field of useful ne$s. Many others spoke and quit e t large number said they had been led to Christ or helped very much in the christian life by the counsel and in fluence of his life. Some spoke very feelingly of Mr. Betts' befriending them in their sorrows; that they would always cherish and love him After a prayer was offered in his behalf led by Rev. Dr. Nash the large crowd bid Mr. Betts, wife and children good bye with many tears. praying God's blessings upon them in their distant home. The Visitor has known him for many years and has long since learn ed to love him and appreciate his ser vices with .nd for our people. Our best wishes, with those of the entire community, go with him, his wife and children, and may heaven's rich est blessings ever rest upon them. 'They leave for Brooklyn this after noon at 4:45 o'clock from Union de pot. If you want to save money, your groceries at C. O. Ball's. buy "Hilly Goat In Dat Sassage." A citizen bought some sausage a few days ago, from a sable dealer; in "grub " and.took it home. The sau sage made its appearance on the breakfast table and the gue6ts were bountifully supplied with the savory dish. No one seemed to relish the meat. No one complained, all by mu tual consent, left it on their plate.

But no matter what style of advertising the mer chant of today may adopt, there must be something more than an ingeni ously worded or attractively display ed notice. It must convince its read ers of the sincerity or ability of the advertiser to fulfill his promises, otherwise advertisements soon cease to interest the public. A visit to our store in response to any of our "ads" will at once convince you of our will ingness and ability to do all we say. W n OE Kb TUCKER & UO. Snow flake hominy at C.
