See advertisement of house for rent by J. N. HoldiDg. Mr. Schwartz had a fine street pa rade today of splendid beef cattle purchased in Richmond, Va. You can never go back to .where you where this morning. The wheels of time revolve only in one direction They never turn backward. The members of the Walter R Womble Hook and Ladder Company will meet tonight at 8:30 o'clock in front of the market for drill. Prompt attendance. Mm. D. K. Moore, of Bartons Creek Township, has a milch cow that has been giving milk for five years in sue cession, from one calf. She gives rt-g ularly now one and a half gallons per day. Who can beat this? Messrs Terrell & Moseley received today some of the finest Guernsey Butter we have ever seen, shipped to them in a Patent Print Butter Car rier from hranklinton, the best and nicest arrangement we have ever seen for the purpose. They will receive regular shipments of this butter. June bugs are very destructive to grapes of the tender varieties like the Lady and others which have a ten dency to crack. They will swarm all over a bunch and stay on them at nieht. Between daylight and sun up they are perfectly dormant from the cool damp air, and will fall to the ground like shot when the vine is shaken. Mr. S. W. Whiting has ob served this fact and has a trained flock of hens to follow him around in the vineyard, and when he shakes a vine he hens fairly feast on Jum bugs. This not only ri3s the grapes of the bugs but gives the hens the best egg producing food out. Destructive Fire. We deeply regret to learn that, yes terday morning about 5 o'clock, the residence, together with the out houses of Mr. W.Q.Allen, superin tendent of the po'r and workhouse, situated a (ew miles northwest of the city, were totally destroyed by fire, with a considerable loss of personal property beloi ging to Mr. Allen, es timated at $200. The loss to the coun ty was much more. The origin of the fire, as we learn, was caused from a defective flue in the kitchen. Mrs. Allen was sick at the time, but the accident was not followed by any serious results to her. We are indebted to Capt. B. P. Williamson, for the foregoing facts. In this connection we would ask if it -would not be better not to rebuild the honses, but to have the work house removed to some point nearer the city limits. It seems to us that opera tions could be carried on at a less cost to the county, and, it would be cer tainly more convenient in all respects. It will have to be moved sooner or later, and the wise plan would be to xnovri it now. Mr. Allen will move his family to the city temporarily, as a house will be provided for them. We tender the family our sympathies in the loss sustained. An election is to be held in Gilmer and Morebead townships in Guilford county on the question of issuing bonds to the amount of $25,0. 0 for the i building of the Greensboro, Roxboro and Eastern Railroad. Special to the Members of the Raleigh Tabernacle Church. The ladies mission fcociety of the Baptist Tabernacle will tender its pas tor and wife a reception in the Sun day school room tonight, the occasion being their twentieth marriage anni- verary. Every member of the church is cordially and earnestly requested to be present. Special Rates. The Richmond and Danville Rail road will sell parties attending the Convention of Farmers Alliance at Greensboro, N C, tickets to that point and return at the following rates from points named Tickets on sale July 21st to 23rd inclusive, good returning until and including July 25th. Charlotte, $3 15 Durham, 2 10 Henderson, 3 40 Selma, 3 50 Raleigh, 2 85 Goldsboro. 3 05 Winston Salem, .1.20 Rates from intermediate points in same proportion. A Sad Accident. We most deeply regret to learn that Clarence, the little six year old son of Mr. Wm. M. TJtley, is in a precarious condition, the result of a fall from a tree last week. The little fellow fell about a distance of twenty feet, but, as no immediate bad results follow d, it was thought that his injuries were not serious. On Wednesday.however he was taken with violent convulsions which would seem to indicate some internal rupture. We most sincerely hope he may recover. He is a most interesting little boy, and the parents in their distress have our most heart felt sympathy. OxforC Orphan Asylum. There are numerous candidates for the position of Superintendent of the above name.i Institution. The office is at the disposal of the Board of Di rectors of the Asylum consisting of five members elected by the Grand Lodge of Masons, and the Grand Master who is eX'Ojftcio chairman of the Board. The present board, is as follows: Grand Master, S. H. Smith, of Win ston; J. S. Carr, of Durham; A. H. A. Williams, of Oxford; T. A. Green, of New Berne, and Rev. C. T. Bailey, of Raleigh. 'J here is now one vacancy caused by the resignation of Col. Thos S. Kenan It is stated that the directors will not choose a successor to Dr. Dixon, until the last of this month. . The Institution is uuder the man agement of the Grand Lodge, the State making an annual appropria tion for it. A report is made by the Grand Lodge to the legislature every two years. Shocco Springs. Within the last few weeks the Old Shocco Springs property, in Warren county, a place of considerable note and popularity in antebellum days, has passed into the hands of a weal thy syndicate, who hope to restore the place to its former value and dis tinction. It is their intention to build at an early day a handsome hotel on the site of the one destroyed by fire some years ago,besides a large number of neat cottages for families. The place is to be generally over hauled, and every effort will be used to make it one of the most desirable and attractive resorts in the south. It is the purpose of the proprietors to make it first class in all its appoint ments. The syndicate numbers among its members some of the most prominent and influential citizens of the state, and their names are but synonyms for success and prosperity. Some of the water from the spring has recently been analyzed by Prof. Battle, of the N. C. Experiment Sta tion, and the analysis is highly credit able and satisfactory. Soda and lime largely preponderate, showing its striking availability in all hepatic ailments. Old Shocco, prior to the war, was very popular with the people of Ral- JkitfVi anI hi-inr1io)a et hAi ViAst. Aif.ivana were there every season to enjoy the water and the salubrious climate. Special Rates. The Richmond and Danville rail road will sell parties attending Fourth District Congressional Convention, Durham, N. C., tickets to that point and return at the following rates from points named. Tickets on sale July 3th and 24th, good returning until and including July 2Cst: Greensboro, 2 95 Henderson, 2 45 Raleigh, 1 65 Selma, 2.05 Goldsboro, 3.85 Rates from intermediate points in same proportion Revenue Appointment We have heretofore, inadvertently failed to notice the appointment to a clerkship in the office of the collector of internal revenue, in this city, of Mr. H. C. Thompson, of Orange county. Mr. Thompson has had many years experience in the revenue service and is perhaps as well posted on all the laws and bushvss of that branch of the government, as any man in North Carolina. During the early days of the service be was clerk in the office of Wiley D. Jones, assessor of the dis trict, and, on the abolition of that office, he entered upon the discharge of his duties under Col. I. J Young, retaining his place until some time after the election of Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Thompson is a most estimable gentleman, and, aside from his well known capacity, is eminently popu lar with all classes of our people. The service, can well be congratu lated upon securing his valuable aid and we give him a most cordial greet' ing on again coming in our midst. Personal Mention. Mr. John T. Pullen has taken charge of the Union Mission on Wilmington street in place of Mr. S. J Betts. Mrs. J. M. Broughton, who is on a visit to Apex, N. C, is quite sick. In answer to a telegram, Mr. J. M.

Joseph E. Smith, Esq, left the city today for Larcassus, Tenn., where he will take charge of the Graded schools of that place.

We feel and we know that adver tising is the life of trade if attractive ly done. We always endeavor to make our "ads" attractive, and the simplicity of our "ads" convince all that we mean business and that we fulfill our promises when made. We have always promised to sell goods for less money than any one else in the city could, and so far we have done so (to about every other person tells us), and we know it is so. We hate to see any merchant get so hard pushed that he has to find fault with the style of advertising in this age. We don't do it. We like the style of this age better than we do the style of 50 years ago in anything. We of ten laugh at some of the ingenuous ly worded or attractively displayed "ad" we see intended to 1 e copies of ours, but as we have a "patent right" we don't say anything. We love to sell our goods cheaper than those other fellows can. It makes them wriggle so. Remember, we now re new our promise to sell you goods cheaper than any one else can, at Swindell's.
