Hot and sultry. How about the depot? Hot wave in earnest. The beautiful sunshine. Autumn is approaching. Color line drawing clote. And now we have the promise of the Albemarle and Raleigh Railroad in fifteen months. The excursion to Richmond, on August ISth, will be over the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad by the way of Weldon. The Tabernacle Conference, at ttutherford College, adjourned last Sunday night after a most successful series of meetings Sunshine and clouds have been the order today, and nobody is will ing to venture a prediction on what kind of weather we will have tomor row. At a n eeting of the Board of Trus- tees of the Thomasville Baptist Or phanage, held last Tuesday evening, Mr. J. H. Mills was re elected superin t ndent. It will be a hard job to get Hills- boro road in perfect order by the time of the fair, but Superintendent McMackin will fix it all right if possi ble. There will be a meeting of the lode pendent Hose Reel Company tonight. Every member requested to be pres ent at 8.30. By order of the Assistant Foreman. The Board of Trustees of Wake Forest College held a special meeting in the Mission Rooms of Baptist State Convention this evening at 4 o'clock to elect a successor to Professor Michael. ' uan't supervisor Hawkins give us the exact population of Raleigh as " shown by the recent census ? If not, , why not ? 01 her places have been announced. The ice factory of Messrs Jones & Powell was sold yesterday, Mr. W. N. Jones of this city, becoming the pur chaser for Mr. J. K Wiggins, of New York. Operations will be continued on an extended scale. The price paid was $4,200. They do say that the delay in com mencing the new Depot is caused from waiting on the decision of the Atlantic Coast line relative to the ex tension of the Albemarle and Raleigh railroad. Perhaps we may get a $75, 000 building after all. Who knows? The neighbors in the community had a very pleasant time yesterday out at Norwood's pond near Mill brook, this county. It was an ooca eion of a neighborhood barbecue Those pre ent enjoyed themselves very much. Mt. Holly Fair. There was a large crowd at the opening of this interesting exhibit what is pronounced superior to any that has yet taken place. Samples of the manufactures of South Caro lina, Tennessse and Mississippi are on exhibition, in addition to those from North Carolina. Commissioner Rob inson and Professor j Holladay and Massey are present and have opened Farmers' Institutes. Death of Capt. F. N. Strudwick. The death of this well ' known and highly esteemed citizen of Orange county which took place last Tues day, at bis home, in Hillsboro, will be deeply lamented by a large circle of friends in Ralek-h where he was well known. Capt. Stiadwlck was a most esti- Enable gentleman in all the walks of JUfe. A a lawyer he stood deservedly I Confederate Badges. Mr. E. F. Fenton who has been commissioned to sell Confederate veteran's badges in this 8tate, for the benefit of the Soldiers' Home, is now In Charlotte with bis samples, and, we suppose will make an extended tour of the State. The design of the badge is a very appropriate one, and are of gold, silver and bronze. Mr. Fenton has credentials from Mr. Julian S. Carr. President of the Asso ciation. The Charlotte News says: Mr. Fen ton, by the way, is a one armed vet eran, and strange to say is a first rate type setter. With his one hand he can manipnlate the stick, empty type on the galleys and set up 8,000 ems per day. Most printers find it hard work to do that with two hands. Any one familiar with type setting would think it impossible for a one handed man to do anything at that business, for Mr. Fenton, with his one hand, certainly does get there. Personal Mention. Hon. Thos. Settle, of Greensboro, was in he city yesterday. We are pleased to see Dr. J. A. Sexton, of Fort Payne, Ala , in the city. Miss Fannie McPheeters, who has been visiting friends in Durham, re turned to the city yesterday. Mr. P. W. McGowan, Mrj. E. R. McGowan and Mrs. S. P. Pennington returned from Wilmington yester day.

Mr. Reuben Haywood,who has been here for several days visiting friends, returned to his home in Washington City yesterday. Hon. J. C. Scarborough returned to the city this morning from Thomas ville where he went to attend a meet ingof the Board of Trustees of the Baptist Orphanage. Mrs. W. S. Medlin and son.of Louis burg, are in the city visiting Mrs Mary Woodward, E. Hargett street John W. Cole, Esq , is quite sick at his residence on North Person street, Mis?es Emma Stevens and Sadie l ant have returned from avisit to the fa-nily of Mr. I'e Lankston, in the country. Mr. C. A. Perkinson and wife re turned fromWilmington laBt evening They also spent several very pleasant days at the Sound and Carolina beach. Chronic Grumbling:. An exchange has the following: Some persons remember the old lenow 01 oouin uaroiina wno was n . rt 11 j- . never satisfied with Providence as displayed in the weather and the crops, lie was so addicted to croak ing, thatt one time, when the crops were so fine as to produce general re joicing, some of his neighbors ex pressed the opinion that he still had some complaint to make to test which they approached him and congrat u lated him .on the splendid outlook. Mr. Parker," said one of the men, "I guess you will admit that we have as fine a, crop prospect as one could ask for." "Yes." said Mr. Parker. wiuu Burugttiug oi nis suouiaers, "the 1 S 1 i ... crops are nne, out I've just been tmnKing tnat the strain on the land in producing the present crop will be so great that we shall have a failure next year." A Grand Display of Carpets. W. H. & R. S. Tucker Sc Co. have received the best assortment of car pets, ever before seen in their carpet department. New patterns, ; fresh colors, and better weaves, at less price than for any seasons past. We can give the trade every advantage, as oar stock of carpets was bought for cash," before the advance in the price of the raw material; and to bay soon means that we can offer special in duct ments, and we invite every one to visit 6ur carpet . department. We mean what we say. We Don't Know. We are frequently asked the cause of delay in commencing thd new Un ion Depot, and our stereotyped an swer, from necessity, is, "we don't know." Besides we don't know any body who does know, or if they do, they won't tell. We do know, how ever.that the public are getting much out of heart about the matter. Sev eral months since the Bite was select ed, and the houses upon it sold. So nrgent was the removal of them con sidered, that those who purchased the houses were required to move them in ten days. Since then the whole matter teems to have rested ia most absolute quiet, save and except at intervals we hear of rumors of an encouraging character that are neyer verified. We are bound to answer all enquiries on me BUDject With "we don't know." Perhaps those having the important duty in hand, might tell, but probably they don't choose to do so. Great bodies move slow and corporations are not an excep tion. Perhaps some of these days a spasmodic jerk ot energy may develop something, but concerning even this "we don't know."

The novel; spectacles of a a native Chinaman, decked in full Oriental costume, queue and shaven bead, occupying a pulpit and preaching a sermon waB presented 4last night at the Church of the Strangers. The preacher's name in his own lan guage is Tsche She Dze. The name given him in baptism and by which he is known now is Rev. Charles W. Marshall. He was baptized and re ceived into the Christian faith by the Rev. Dr. Deems upward of twenty years ago, and since then has done effective missionary work in China. His sermon was delivered in Eng lish, his diction being almost fault- ess. He gave a brief outline of his missionary work in China, the diffl culties he encountered, often being in danger of his life, and the subsequent success attending his efforts. In Cucaothe Chinese City of Temples, the preacher said, that twenty years ago it was not safe for a foreigner preaching the Gospel to en ter. He did so at the risk of his life. Now these are the churches of the true God in that very' city, as well as hospitals and schools. He prophesied the conversion to Christianity of the Chinese people at no distant dAv.nnrf said the Lord was reserving the mines of gold nd silver in China still un opened for the spread and oroniira. tion of His religion and the building of Christian temples. k v j SPECIAL NOTICES. , The average small boy is now com , pletely puzzled by Messrs Whiting nros. iney nave a rewHrd for the .first one that gives the correct an swers to the following three ques tions: 1st.
