The Exodus.
There is reason to believe that the
exodus movement will be resumed
the coining fall with equal, if not
more energy, than heretofore. It is
known already that there are several
agents in the State, and that prelim
inary arrangements are on foot with
the railways. It is said that the move
ment, will be varied this year, and that
many of the colored people will be
taken j6o the Northwest. Particular
attention, it is thought, "will be paid
to the counties bordering on the South
Carolina line, and the movement is
expected to begin in October.

A Noted Divine.
Rev. Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage was
in Richmond Va. last Saturday and
spenithe'tlay with his daughter Mrs.
Allen E. Donnar. The Richmond
State says:
The great prei cher is tLe picture
of health. lie says he does not re
mem' er to have been sick a minute
in his life. As everyone knows, he is
a prodigious worker, but he never
frets and is always in good working
trim. Speaking of tonics, he said the
only stimulants that he indulged in
were tea ana coffee. He managed to
get plenty of 6leep and frequent rides
on the cars. He said one of the most
beneticiai diversions he enjoyed was
riding on the train. He was fond of
the motion of the cars and always
felt in unusually good trim when he
was travelling. In the course of con
vtrsation Dr. Talmage spoke enthusi
astically of the South. He thinks the
United Stages forms a great nation,
and he would regret to see auy Feder
al legislation that would mar the
good feeling between the North an 1
South. But he Wrs a great believer
in an overruling Providence, and was
satisfied that nothing could seriously
check American progress, lf hurtful
measures were attempted, Providence
would bring us out all right.
I Pleasant Occasion A Beau
tiful Farm Splendid Glow
ing Crops.
Last Friday morning, about 11
o'clock, Sheriff J. Rowan Rogers,
called and took us out to the Hodge
farm which is about ij miles east of the
city, in St. Matthews Township. The
drive was through a beautiful couu
try, the most promising of growing
crops lining the roads on either side.
We arrived at the farm soon after 12
o'clock and found se"eral friends had
gathered around a sparkling spring
and near by there was something
roasting over coals, the odor of which
reiniudt;d every one that a feast was
in th near future. About 2 o'clock
all were invited to a table prepared
in the grove where we partook of some
of the finest and most delicious bar
1 i i
uecue, cincaen, etc., we nave ever
tasted. It was a most pleasant occa
sion in respects, about thirty five
or f:-t frit'Uds participating. The
besJ of 'or ler prevailed throughout
and the best of feeling, and when the
cowd dispersed every one seemed to
feel, that it was one of the most pleas
ant oc casions of the kind they had
ever attended. We walked over the
farm, and found it indeed a grand
sight to look upon Mr. Rogers has
about 40 acres in cotto.i; it is promis
ing in the highest degree; it is literal
ly loaded down with bolls. We count
ed the bolls on one stalk that was
only about ?J feet high. We found
it contained 48 we did not count the
forms or equares. We do not think
the stalk we counted was an excep
tion bv any means. His friends be
lieve he will make forty bales on the
forty acres, and we are satisfied he
will do so, if not more. We have seen
no finer cotton anywhere, than some
of his. He has about 25 acres in corn
which is exceedingly good, and we
believe he will harvest 100 barrels
fro-n the 25 acres. He also believes
in stock raising, especially all needed
for the farm. Heb.as some very fine
hogs and cattle. I his farm is well
cultivated and well manured. Mr.
J. Richardson, the superintendent,
is one or tne best farmers in the
county and also one of the best man
agers as the present ci ops are proof.
It was a pleasure to us to look over
this beautiful farm, s and we are in
debted to Sheriff Rogers for being
able to participate in a most pleasant
occasion, and spending a pleasant
day generally. We trust our farmers
will press ahead and those splendid
farms may not be the exception but
the rule in Wake county.

Still Honored.
Gov. Fowle continues to be the re

Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. The
Richmond Dispalch of yesterday
says:
A reception and cotillion in honor of
Governor Fowle, of North Carolina,
and his daughter, Miss Helen, on
Satuiday morning was a brilliant
and greatly enjoyed occasion. A
matinee reception is in itself a nov
elty, and coupled v.ifh a dance it
possessed every charm to the young
as well as the more sedate, if there
are any such at this gala resort. The
gentlemen who gave this delightful
pleasure to their friends were Colonel
John S. Cunningham, senior officer
on Governor's staff (who was the pre
siding genius), Colonel Bennahan
Cameron (also on the staff). Colonel
John L. Morehesd, General Theodore
F. Davidson (Attorney General of the
State of North Carolina), Captain V.
E. McBee, Superintendent Western
North Carolina railroad; Mr. Warren
G. Elliott, president of the Wilming

Are You Hard to Suit ?
We shall have goods to suit you this
fall no matter what quality or style
you want, just so you want only the
latest styles. We have never bought
so large or b; complete a stock before
as we shall buy for this fall's trade
The crops are much better and of
course we can conn lently expect the
people to have more money and to be
in a condition to buy more goods
than in many years. Our leading
feature will be low prices n all our
goods, and we shall take special pains
to have none but the best goods in all
departments for we believe the very
best goods are the cheapest in the long
run, so to speak. We shall probably
begin receiving our fall stock the lat
ter part of this week. During this
i week we shall be busy e'eaning up
all departments and any short pieces
or remnants will be closed out with
no regard to price whatever. Our re-
duced carpet and boy's clothing sale
will be continued to Sept. 1st.
