fuming over hard times tryiug to get

receipt of new fall styles and will
make their prices popular.
At the recent meeting of the State
Farmer's Alliance in Asheville, some
gentlemen that were present, say that
it was one of the finest looking bodies
of men they had seen together in
years; that it was an intelligent body.
and they believed that two thirds of
the members would average 200 lbs
apiece in weight fine looking, and
quite a number of very intelligent
men were in attendance.
We hae been asked the proper
way to spell the name of the late
Judge Murphy, from whom the Mur
pby Bchool in this city takes its name.
We are decidedly of the opinion that
the name ha no "e" in it. It is
spelled the same as "Murphy" iu
Cherokee county. We hold to this
opinion until some better acquainted
with the matter shall state to the
contrary. We have, however, seen
the name written of late by some of
our distinguished citizens with the
' e,"but must thinkthey were mistak
en. We think the title of the graded
school is: i The Murphy Pchool." Per
haps Dr. Kingsbury of the Wilming
ton Messenger, cau help us out.

Mr. Pete Pool, near Auburn, in St.
Mary's Township, brought in yester
day evening the first bale of new cot
ton and procured the prize of $10
offered by Mr. J. H Higgs. It wms
so'd at auction and purchased by Mr.
E. B. Barbee of the firm of Barbee
& Barbee, wholesale grocers and cot
ton dealers, at 104. It seems appro
priate that Mr. Barbee should have
been the purchaser as he has, as large,
if not the largest counti y trade of any
house in the city.
There were five or six bales of new
cotton on this market today. Mr.
George Stephens, f Panther Branch
Township, received the second prem
ium offered by D. T. Swindell pro
prietor of the Big Racket Store, which
was a nice suit of clothes.
Our Agricultural College.
The bill just passed by the Senate
and Housa of Representatives to ap
propriate tbe'sum of $15,000 per an
num to each of the States for Agri
cultural Colleges comes in a most op
portune time for North Carolina It
is all the more so, because of the re
cent decisiou by Judges Seymour and
Bond relative to the fertilizer tax,
which will in the future to some ex
tent, work to the injury of our col
lege. We take it, of course, that the
legislature will at its next s ssion,
supply the deficiency by a tonnage
tx, the constitutionality of winch is
not doubted. This, with the Nation
al appropriation, will place us on a
sound footing.

the family of her brother, Mr. W. W.
Fuller, in Durham.

ily to Winston in a few days, and will
make that his permanent home.
We were pleased to meet upon pur,
streets this morning, Col. Harry Skin
ner and had a very lengthy talk with
him which we enjoyed very much.
The people of the east, indeed the
people of our whole State, have no
stronger or staunch friend than Col.
Skinner; may he live long to serve the
interest of the people of our good old
North State. ,
A Great Medium for Advertts-
, We are informed by Mr. L. S. Pack- j
ard that a large number of good men '
responded promptly to the call for ,
men to advertise the State Fair, in-1
sorted in the Evening Visitor of
Tuesday. This proof of the value of
our paper as a means of putting
wants before the people.aud as an ad
vertising medium as well as many
other such proofs, is very gratifying
to us.
Mary Jones.

Star Concert of Mary Jones at Met

byterian church of Durham. Box

His wife and son Chester, who have
been only one week with her hus

their distant home.
Mr. Geo. W. Fentress was a la wyer
by profession, and an active and en
eetic christian gentleman, and as
nis Doynood promised, be won posi
tion and many friends in his adopted
home.
(The Visitor most deeply and sin
cerely sympathizes with the bereaved
ones in their sad affliction. W e knew
the young man well and can testify
to his many most excellent virtues.
Peace to his ashes.)
Street Car Changes.
Owing to work necessary for grad
ing purposes, on the Hillsboro street
line, the road will have to be tempo
rarily taken up from the railroad
bridge to its terminus at Major Tuck
er's entrance. In view of the fact
that this will hardly justify the com
pany in running that line, the cars
on that route will, for the present, be
discontinued. As soon as the work
of grading, &c, is finished the road
will be relaid and the cars run as
heretofore, to St. Mary's gate.
On the Blount street line, commenc
ing tomorrow morning, the cars will
run its schedule every twenty min
utes from 8 a. m. until 4. p. m. as far
as Gray's switch, on north Blount
street. After 4 o'clock p. m. the cars
will run the full length of the line
The company will be compelled to
throw itself temporarily on the in-
d ulgence of the public. Of course the
Hillsboro s1 reet route could not be run
with advantage while the improve
ments in grading are going on. The
difficulty, it is hoped, will be of short
d urn tion, and when full operations
are resumed it will be better for the
public as well as for the company.
A Tough Oxen.
Twin City Daily.
A correspondent writes that near
Stuart, Va a few days ago a large
oxen white grazing near an old, un
used well fell into it. Although the
depth was fifty feet, he was not at all
hurt. It required twenty one men to
get the animal out, and when they
had drawn him to the top Mr. Oxen
deliberately began to graze as if noth
ine had happened. Can you beat
that?
A Wisconsin man, now a resident of
Denmark, has invented an improve
ment in the printing press by which
three or more different colors may be
printed at the same impression. He
j is successfully introducing it in Eu-
rope.

Energy on the Farm
Wins success over competition just
as surely as it does in any other bus
iness and, without energy, success
cannot be attained where there is
wide awake competition in any busi
ness. Mr. Peter Pool, of Auburn, and
Mr. G. Stephens, of Panther Branch,
the two gentlemen who brought in
the first and second bales of new cot
ton respectively for this season are
worthy examples of what we have just
said When you consider that these
gentlemen had as competitors every
farmer in the State, the fact that
they out stripped them all speaks
in the highest praise of their energy,
pluck and rush. We admire rush
and energy iu any one; and it is with
pleasure that we present these gen
tlemen with the $10 cash prize for the
first and the elegant suit of clothes
for the second bale, and we hope that
we may be able to present them with
other premiums in the coming season
