A Creditable Establishment.
Messrs Yancey & Stronacb, with
their characteristic energy and busi
ness tact have added to their business
a harness department where they will
keep at all times a most complete
stock in that line, from medium to
the Quest grades. These gentlemen
are fully abreast with the times in
their business operations, and, we are
informed by them, that they propose
to make one of the finest displays in
the industrial parado.aud will occupy
space at the fair for a splendid ex
hibit of carriages, buggies, carts, wa
gons and everything else pertaining
to their business. It is a source of
much gratification to note the inter
est being tak3n in the fair by our peo
pie generally.and we must think that
our business men will, like Messrs
Yancey & Stronach make arrange
ments for a full participation.

No. 11 Frankfort Street, New York
The Hillsboro Road.
Correspondence of the VlflTOR.
It is a self evident fact that unless
some further work is done on the
Hillsboro road between now and the
Stale fair, that portion of it from Mai
Tucker's corner to the Agricultural
grounds will be utterly impassible to
travel if we should have a rainy spell
It would be far worse than if the road
had never been worked at all, for the
reason that the red clay soil which
has been loosened has not had time
to become packed. If the writer un
derstands the matter, the main object
of widening and grading the road was
to have it in readiness by the fair.
Now much good work has been done,
for which Supervisor McMackin and
his force are greatly entitled to credit,
but it has just progressed far enough
to make it a bad job without addi
tional labor is put upon it. The
grading is all right, but this will avail
nothing unless the red clay soil is
packed with gravel. The least rain
renders the road, not only impassible
for vehicles, but pedestrians cannot
pick their way along, without being
almost stuck fast in the mud. If there
is to be any gravel put on the road,
now is the time for it to be done. In
stead of the work house force being
employed at the extreme end of the
township line, let them be put to
work on the road that has been al
ready graded and widened,by placing
on it a coating of gravel or sandy soiL
Eyen if a roadway is made wide
enough for the passage of ordinary
vehicles, it will be a great help.
It is oonceded that as the road is at
present, it would have been much
better if it had not -been touched at
all than left in its present condition'.

Trouble puts up a great many packs
and you must carry some one of them.

Harper's Magazine.
There lived some'years ago in west
ern Pennsylvania an old circuit
preacher, Father West by name,
whose genial humor and general
kindliness of heart had greatly en
deared him to all the people of his
d istrict. He was a particular favorite
with the young folks matrimonially
inclined, and his opportunities to 'tie
the knot' were numerous. On one
occasion he found upon his arrival at
a certain town several couples await
ing his blessing. The old man was
tired and wished to make short work
of the job. "Stand up," he began,
"and jine hands." Which, being
done, he rattled through a marriage
service, that, like himself, was origi
nal. "There," he said, when it was
finished, "ye can go; ye're man and
wife, ev'ry one o' ye."
Two of the couple hesitated, and
finall made it apparent that in the
sudden "jining" they had become
confused, and had taken the hands
of the wrong persons. The old preach
ers eyes twinkled as he took in the
situation, but he instantly straighten
ed up, and with a wave of his hand
dispersed them. "I married ye all,"
he said. "Sort yourselves."

He Told the Truth.
At the conclusion of a festival an
excellent'teacher, desirous of jad minis
tering a trifling moral lesson, inquir
ed of the boys if they had enjoyed
the repast. With the ingenous mod
esty of youth they all responded,
" Yes, sir." " Then," asked the ex
cellent teacher, " if you had slipped
into the garden and picked those
strawberries without my leave would
they have tasted as good as now?"
Every small boy in that stained and
sticky company shrieked, "No, sir!"
"Why not?" " 'Cause," said little
Thomas, with the cheerfulness of con
scious virtue, " then we shouldn't
have had sugar and cream with 'em.

It would astonish many of us some
times, if we could know what our
neighbors think of us. Every man
has some kind of' a standing in the
community where he lives, and he is
sized up a great deal closer than he
has any idea of. Yon may set it down
as a fact that there isn't a twelve
year old boy in your neighborhood
who hasn't got his opinion of you,
and he wouldn't be slow about ex
pressing it either, if a stranger should
ask him for it. Every man is always
making character, whether he is do
ing anything else or not.

" Indeed ? In what direction does
his genius manifest itself?"

b'leeve me, but that there boy kin
bark like any kind of dog lie ever
saw; yes he kin. Here, Hob, bark
some for the gentleman an' let 'iiu see

Dress Trimmings
'1 he new dress trimmings for this
fall are perfect gems of lovliness. In
our twelve years of experience in
dress goods and trimmings we have
never seen dress trimmings so lovely.
The new vandike silk passementarie
in all the colors tinsaled with gold
and silver threads are the most per
fect; velvets and plushes are also used
to a great extent, md these are love
ly on the large plaids ana stripes
which are bo popular this season.
There are lots of ladies who have not
bought dress goo Is from us,but would
if they would take the trouble to find
out what kind ot stock we are keep
ing, and at what price we are selling
dress goods and trimmings, and they
would readily see that we keep noth
ing but the latest productions, and
that we are selling dress goods for a
smaller price than any other store,
and we are carrying as large a stock
of dress goods as any store in Raleigh
When we make customers in dress
goods we never loose them. We
please
