This building Is something new in our city; the outside wall is covered with roof ing material, which makes a neat show, and a substantial wall The building will be covered with ordina ry tin roofing.

On Saturday night last, two white men, Thomas Jones and Hubert War ren, got into a dispute on Exchange Place near Denton's store, resulting Jn Jones being stabbed several times by his antagonist.

Warren was arrested. ; i Mayor Thompson who is president of the Chamber of Commerce is ex tremely anxious for every member to be present at the meeting of the Chamber tomorrow right. He wants a full attendance, and will have some very important matters to present. Let there be a large turn out. Attention is directed to the adver tisement of Raleigh Male Academy, of which Messrs Morson & Denson are the principals. There is no school ; in North Carolina, or,; Indeed in thV South, at which young men can bet ter be prepared for College. This Academy has gained a high distinc , tion, which increases from year to year; and deserves the highest patro Aiageirom our people. , .;,, What They Say. People are asking a thousand ques tions today relative to what the Chamber of Commerce propose to do tomorrow night. The reporter of the Visitor could only answer partially and he told all enquirers that it would crop O'lt from the Mayor that some important events were at hand. At any rate, that U our opinion, and if Mayor Thompson don't fill the bill, then we have mistaken him, that's all. The people are looking for a big proposition of some sort. '1 here is no doubt about it And when the prop osition is made, the people expect action. All sorts of rumors are in cir culation, and we are sitting cross legged for good luck. Watch out for the meeting and the consequences. A Sad Disaster. ''he destruction of Rutherford Col lege last Friday night by fire is one of the saddest disasters th;it has been reported in this State for years. All the buildings of the institution to geth r with the library and notes and accounts to the value of $20,000 were destroyed. There is no college in North Caro lina, that has done more than this institution, for deserving young men, and Prof. Abernethey, the president, has devoted the best years of his life to the pnrpose. We most earnestly hope that Arrangements may be made at once for rebuilding the lost prop erty. and that the usefulness of the college may be only temporarily in paired. It is a matter that should ap peal to the generosity of our people. Death of W. H.

One year's subscription for the lar gest number of manufactured articles exhibited by any one factory in the State. It is expected that these subscrip tions be offered as an additional pre mium for these exhibits. The Southern Farmer is a weekly agricultural journal and one of the oldest and best in the country, and is considered a safe and reliable guide to the farmer, Hailstones as Large as Eggs. Terrific hail storms have been rag ing since Sunday last throughout the northern districts of Germany.Stones as large as eggs have fallen in various places and unprecedented damage has been the result. In Cassel three- quarters of the crops have been en tirely destroyed, while in the village districts of Marburg, Kirchain, Ham burg, Leiguham, . Tottenburg and Neustadt the hail smashed windows, unroofed houses and utterly de molished numerous wine farms.There was little insurance upon the build ings in these afflicted districts, and so the losses, which are heavy, fall en tirely upon the peasants. . .

The first is how, the second is where, and the third is when to buy trunks, Shoes and Carpets cheaper than anywhere else in the State, we answer these questions this way How? with the cash. Where? at Swindell's, when? At any time and always This is an undeniable fact, we do always give you better goods in these three special things than you have yet found elsewhere. We ask you is it not so ? We do not say that we sell white homespun any cheaper than most of the other merchants do for most of them sell it at cost, but all other goods we do say that we are always a little nnder any one else in this city; we do not make this mere assertion with the expectation that it's to be final, but we make it with the expectation that you will inves tigate the assertion, this is just what we desire, for we can always abund antly prove to you that what we sav is not only truth itself, but that the one-half has never been told. We are the unapproachable headquarters for carpets, shoes and trunks at SWIUDEliL'S. We have heard of twin brothers looking just "as much alike as two black-eyed pease." But there are two twin brothers in town that look more alke than that. One of them violated th'e parental law, and need ed an application of the switch. But when the fond mother had ad ministered it, she found she had whipped the wrong one, and the boy thought he was his brother and made no complaint at the punishment. Concord Standard. Hardware, &c. WE VAJiT TO SELL EVERY CHILDS' CARRIAGE TOW ON HAND. MUST HAVE THE FLOOR ROOM. WE OFFER EACH ONE AT EXACTLY COST.

Many of our purchases for fall have already been opened, and we can now show a yery full assortment of all grades of carpeting. We do not care how small a quan tity of carpeting one needs, or at what price, we have got the stock, and the prices are right. When one thinks of buying a carpet, all we ask is for them to come and see what we are showing and with the low prices which we offer them at, will make the matter of a selection an easy one. We can show any grade that has ever been offered for sale in' Raleigh. We can begin with the cheapest cotton carpets, and go right along up, with every grade to the best Mo quet'es. Every piece that "we are telling you of, is not right new, and there are some bargains in the ' lot that are worth considering.
