A Good School.
During our visit to Auburn yester
day we had the pleat ure of meeting
with Mr. T. R. Crocker, formerly of
Franklin county, who is now the tal
ented and accomplished principal of
the Auburn Academy. Mr. Crocker
i a graduate of Wake Foreet College
and is a young man of the highest
character and well fitted in every way
for the i espousible position he oecu
pies. He has a good school already
with a prospect of a large increase
,We hope the people in that commu
P nlrv and surrounding country will
give the Auburn Academy the pat
ronage it bo richly deserves.
Soldiers' Home.
It has been decided to open for the
present a Soldiers' Home at the cor
nerofPolk and East streets, where
from sixteen to twenty ex-Confeder
ate Soldiers can be accommodated
Capt. J. J. Ferrell an ex-Confederate
who bad the misfortune to lose a leg
at Malvern Hill, will be Superinten
dent,, and the discipline will be firm
but of the bett kind. The Home wil
be conducted upon business princi
pies. Applications for admittance
can now be made. There will be none
admitted unless they can t rove good
' service either in the Confederate
Army or Navy.
In this connection we may state
that there is need of beds, bed cloth
ibg and other necessary articles, and
a special appeal is made to our peo
pie to contribute whatever they can
In this diction. The initiation of
this noble charity in our midst should
nspire all our people with a just
pride, and cause them to put forth
their best exert ions for the cause. It
is one that appeals not only to our
patriotism, but to our common hu
manity.

S. Miller & Co., of Newark. N. J..
was in the city today hale anil hearty
and is doing a good business.
We had the pleasure of a call this

advance repiiinentative of Milton No
ble's Comedy company which will ap
pear in Raleigh on the 11th inst.

109 South Wilmington street.
Dr. Charles E. Taylor, President of
Wake Forest College is in the city.
Rev. Dr. J. J. Hall, we are glad to
say, his physician thinks he is slowly
improving, but as yet he is unable to
sit up. '
Dr. Thonias E. Skinner was able to
be ou on the streets today.
Mr. Jerry Terry of Durham is in

Report of finance committee lead.
Several claims were allowed.
A recommendation to purchase
street sweeper at a cost of $400 was
re referred to Street Committee.
The report of the committee appro
priating $350 for a hose wagon for the
Rescue Company was adopted.
The special committee composed of
the Mayor, City Attorney and Street
Commissicner, reported favorable to
a brick sidewalk not less than forty
two inches wide, in the middle of the
sidewalks. Laid over until next meet
ing.
Mr. Lipps, Engineer of Maintenance
of way of the North Carolina Railway
by request, addressed the board with
regard to the Cannon street bridge
crossing the railroad. He stated
that it would be impossible to con
struct the bridge as ordered by the
board without making it too high for
use, this being necessary for trains to
pass under it. The foot bridge now
iu use there is approached by sever
el steps. A resolution was adopted
that, the railroad open a roadway to
a point where the grade would per
mit vehicles to cross the track.
A report from the finance commit
tee recommending a reduction of the
general city taxes of 20 cents on the
hundred dollars in the next two years

Is was moved that the petition be
granted and that the ringing of all
such bells as above referred to be pro
hibited on ,the streets, that they be
confined entirely to the places of
business which they advertise and
that the time they shall be allowed
to ring be limited to fifteen minutes.
New Advertisements.
Read the advertisement of the Bee
Hive and learn where you can go to
sell old furniture, etc., at highest
cost price.
We invite attention to the adver
tisement of Mr. C. A. Perkinson, No.
12, East Hargett street, wbo has a
stock of fine canned goods and every
thing else kept in a first class grocery
establishment. Mr. Perkinson is one
of our meet experienced business men
and all who deal with him can rest
assured of deceiving the best atten
tion. Special attention is called to
the fact that Mr. Perkinson has just
received a barrel of nice pigs fe-t, the
finest ever brought to this city.
The attention of the public is
specially invited to the advertise
ment of Messrs. W. C. & A, B. Stron-
ach in this issue. These gentlemen
state that their new bakery will be
opened for business next Wednesday,
and this is news of the highest im-
portance to our people generally
There is no firm in the Southern
States of the kind that stands more
deservedly high than this, and when
they enbark in a new enterprise we
may know that it will be properly
conducted in all respects. Read the
advertisement.
Messrs. Barbee & Pope have in store
a lot of the finest French candies ever
brought to this market, and the as
sortment cannot be surpassed in the
South. Added to their other long
list of specialties can also be mention
ed the latest addition in the way of
bananas, which are simply excellent
in size and flavor. In fact this en
terprising firm never tires catering to
the wants of the .public in their line,
and wo can assure all in want of the
good things of life, that there is no
place in the city where they can be
procured at cheaper rates. Call and
see for yourselves.
The County Canvass.
We took advantage of the oppor
tunity yesterday to visit Auburn,
where the county candidates had ap
pointments to speak. We arrived on
the ground rather late and found a
considerable crowd in attendance
anxious to hear the issues of the day
discussod. On our arrival, Sheriff J
Rowan Rogeri was speaking and was
followed by Capt. Page, the demo
cratie nominee. Both gentlemen were
listened to with much attention and
were well received by their respective
friends. Messrs Puruell and Jones
both delivered addresses, drawing
forth plaudits from their different
sides. Messrs Upchurch, Thompson,
Meacham and Green had delivered
speeches prior to our arrival. All
were listened to with marked atten
tion, showing that our people are al
ways conservative and willing to hear
questions affecting their interest in
a fair an impartial manner.
Col. Argo, the independent candi
date for Solicitor ,iu this district was
present and was allowed time to &n
nounce himself, which he did in i
few remarks. As an episode of the
occasion we note that Mr. C. D Up
church,; candidate for re election to
the office of Clerk of the Superior
Court pledged himself to make up the
balance necessary for the purchase of
a bell for the Male and f emale School
at Auburn, which the ladies are get
ting up by subscription.
The day passed off pleasantly, and
both sides seemed to be satisfied with
the situation.

For Thirteen Long' Years
this writer has stood at the helm of a
mercantile craft endeavoring with his
whole ability to guide it aright. We
have seen many of the phasesof life;
have been through adversity and
have tasted of prosperity. We have
seen men bouyant aud strong,rise like
a 6tar, bright and prosperous for a
short season; but now alas! whelmed
neath the tide of misfortune, covered
in eternal sleep by the pages of the
credit ledger; that curse that has car
ried the brightest genius that has ever
adorned the world's history into ob
livion. We have seen all this and
more; but enough of the dark side.
We have never used a ledger; we
should not know what to do with one
if we had it; we have climbed step by
step up the ladder on steps of cash
down every time, both ways, going
and coming, or in buying and selling
What is the result'with us ? Listen
Saturday the 27th day ot Sept., we
sold more goods by $220 than we ever
sold in one day before. Remember
this is money down and not one dol
lar charged Its our prices that is
doing the work for us
At Swinuklis.
In order to tost the comparative
mcits of the various newspaper
advertis'rg mediums, and at the
same time benefit the readers
thereof, we shall consider this ad-
i vei tisement for one dollar in pay
ment toward purchase of $20 or
more worth of goods, if cut out
and presented at time of purchase
either in person or by mail.

BARCMNS AND UNDERVALUES
We thus early, are going to offer
some of the greatest values, in Ladies,
Misses, and Childrens' wraps, that
have ever been . offered in Raleigh.
These are wraps carried from last sea
son, and we wish to sell this lot first.
We have probably $1,500 or $2,000
worth in this particular line, and to
dispose? of these, at once, we will of
fer them at prices, less than the
CLOTH IN THE GARMENTS COST.
The styles of many of these are al
most identical to the new styles now
being opened. These wraps are mark
ed in plain figures, and are on sale in
our bargain and undervalue depart
ment. This is an opportunity never before
oTered in this city, at the beginning
of a season, fid buy wraps in good
styles, and at such low prices. Wraps
from this lot once sold cannot be du
plicated at any thing .near the prices
we are now selling them at,so it is to
your interest to buy at once.
Now, we do not wish any one to in
fer from this, that we are not going
to have any wraps besides these, be
cause we are, and have already be
gun opening the new stock, of which
we will tell you more about, a little
later.
