The Farmers' AUimce of Guilford county recently passed the following resolutions: That we favor and reccommend that our present public school tax be doubled. That some appropriation should be made by the State for the higher edu cation of our daughters. That we request our State Alliance to take proper steps towards bring ing this matter favorably before our next General Assembly. KOLJEIG-S:, Encouraging. Unprecedented corn crops all over the country, is the pleasant topic of conversation among the farming com munity, and a source of joy to us of the city, who have our bread to buy. One gentleman living twenty miles a little west of south from Raleigh, de clared that be had a field of several acres, with the corn so rank and tall and with tLe ears of such dimensions as to hang down; that to get into its midst was a virtual withdrawal from the rays of the sun, and the whole appearance wa? that of a dense, black cloud over your head; and he further avered that the whip poor-wills de luded thereby, sang without inter mission their plaintiff complaints of being continually whipped. The squire, on hearing this,hung his head ani ejaculated, "the Lord be praised The Press Association Next week there will be a lively time, in Durham, among the editors of the State who will meet in that city.

We wish all who may attend, a most delight ful time. Terrible Fire. Yesterday morning the Western Union Telegraph Company's build ing in Broadway, New York, wasdes troyed by fire from the 5th to the 7th story. There was a tremendous panic many of the employees barely escap ing from the flames. The fire render ed every Western Union wire on Man hattan Island useless. The loss is es timated at $15,000, with no insurance. In the building are tlnirivate offices of Gay Gould and others. The fire originated from the .switch board catching on fire. Valuable records and papers running back as far as 1845 were destroyed. The business of the company will be transferred asjsoonas possible to temporary quarters, and, as Uttle delay as possible will be caused Personal Mention. Mrs. J. M. Broughton who has been quite sick at Apex, we are glad to say is so much improved as to be able to return home this morning with her husband,who went up Thursday eve ning to attend her bedside. Goldsboro Argus: Miss Maud Mar shall, of Raleigh, who has quite a number of admiring friends in this city, spent several hours here yester day the guest of Miss Loulie Miller, en route fcr home from Morehead.

Hunter was in the city today; he has been on a visit with his wife and little daughter to Asheville; they returned yesterday evening, Mrs. Hunter and little daughter stop ping at Cary where they will spend several weeks. The Rev. Mr. Hunter expects to return to Greenville next week where he has charge of the Bap tist Church as pastor. He reports much progress in his work there and is much pleased with results. Good crops abound throughout that sec tion of the State. A French Chemist has discovered a liquid explosive which can be used in guns, and is said to be more pow erful than powder. It is confined in a steel chamber and each time the trigger is pulled a drop falls into the breech behind the bullet. The con tact with the air causes the explosion which does the work, and propels the ballet with terrible force, and with nelthernoiseorsmoke.lt may be used also f or artillery. .

Mrs. Ros? in Murray's Magazine, My father and mother often went to the Sunday breakfasts given by Mr Rogers at his house in St. James' Place, and he always requested that his "baby-love," as he callel me, brought later for dessert. A great treat it was, for the old poet kept a bunch of grapes in the sideboard. which I ate, perched on a chair and two sofa cushions by his side I wiBh I could recollect the talk that charmed me, young as was, so much that the highest praise I could think of for a grand Twelfth-night party at Baroness Lio nel de Rothschild's was, "it is almost as nice as Mr. Rogers' breakfasts." The conversation one morning turned on fame, and Mr. Rogers related how he was once dining with Byron and Moore at Pope's villa at Twickenham when the same subject was discussed Singing was heard in the distance, and presently a boat full of people floated past. They were singing "Love's Young Dream " Byron put his hand on Moore's shoulder, saying, 'There, that is fame." Saved by a Network of Wirss. While attempting to close a win dow John Soulen, a 15 year old boy employed in the Northwestern Col lection company's offices! in Milwau kee, fell from the fifth; story of the new insurance building. In falling he caught on the network of tele graph wires about twenty feet below the window, where he hung suspen ded in full view of hundreds of peo ple on the street. The boy held on in suspense while the excited crowd be low triel to devise some means for his rescue. Finally a fire truck com pany was sent for, but before its ar rival the boy was seized by the legs and pulled into a window b .low that from which he fell. The boy will re member the experience throughout his life, as had it not been for the wires he would have been dashed to death on the pavement 100 feet be low. As it was he escaped uninjured. - Cor.

The Crop Prospect is Better this year than it has been in manv: if there is no disaster, hereafter there will be more bales of cotton handled in Raleigh than in several years and as a natural consequence the fall trade will be enormous. We suppose there will be more goods brought to Raleigh this fall than there was in the two last years. Speaking for the tfig Kacket Store, we intend to put in a much larger stock in all lines than we have ever had and we in tend to sell them cheap. We would like to put in a hundred and fifty thousand dollar stock, but our store not being large enough to accoino date this size stock we shall have to be content with an eighty thousand dollar 6tock and buy often. We need every foot of space we can possibly get and the summer goods we have oil hand must go. We need the room they occupy and must have it. We will sell you all white goods, lace nets, flouncings, in fact all summer fabrics regardless of price.
