Don't let the fair keep you from registering. Don't fail to see the Japs. They are fixed up in style on the Fair Grounds. The exhibits of the North Carolina Wagon Factory at the Fair are beau tiful and of most excellent finish. No better wagons made in the world. The Editor's Lunch Table at the Fair Grounds is well supplied. Let the brotherhood make themselves at home. They will receive a most cor dial welcome Rev. Dr. J. H.

F. will meet tonight at 7:30 o'clock; work in the Second Degree; candidates will pre sent themselves promptly. It is ear nestly hoped that every member will be present. Visiting brethren cor dially invited. A small white boy, in Little River Township, named Jack Robinson, aged about 12 years but so small that he wears a suit of clothes for a ten year old boy, picks out 212 pounds of cotton a day. This is remarkable, and shows what young America can do. The artistically arranged windows of our merchants generally are a credit to the city. There are no bet ter or more accommodating business men in existence than those of Ral eigh. Go and see them. They will treat you right. The columns of the Visitor will tell you who has the best goods. Read the paper and then call on the merchants, Mr. J. Hal. Bobbitt,in an attractive advertisement today, presents some plain facts for the consideration of the people. There is no house of the kind in this State that has more flat tering inducements than this, in every line, with which it is connected. The stock t f every description is fresh pure and in all respects suited to the wants of people generally. We hope every visitor to the city will give this celebrated establishment a call and see for themselves. Fine cigars.niin- eral waters, etc., specialties. Don't forget to call. Married.

The bride has many warm friends in Raleigh who wish her much happi ness. Notice. In order to give those connected with thes Evening Visitor an op portunity of attending the State Fair, which should be an occasion wel corned by all, no paper will be issued from this office on . Thursday 'after noon next. We feel that our patrons will cordially second this determina tion to give our employees a chance to see the exhibition. . .Those having advertisements to change will do us a favor by sending them in on toinor xo A Beautiful Exhibit. Mr. John W. Brown.our well known undertaker and funeral director, has on exh'.biton at his establishment cor ner of Morgan and DawBon streets, a most beautiful exhibiton of articles in his line of business. These are ar ranged in neat and most artistic man ner in a large glass case making a group, unsurpassed for elegance by anything we have heretofore seen. A magnificent casket is a special feature surrounded by all the para phernalia, Necessary for the burial services. It is a show well worth a visit and no one should leave the city without seeing it. Personal Mention. Miss Porter, the accomplished art teacher, of Greensboro, is in the city. Several of her art collections will be on exhibition at the fair. Miss Nellie Star, of Winston, is in the city. Mr. J. H. McCain, of Ashboro, is taking in the fair. Our venerable fellow citizen, Mr, Paul C. Cameron, has returned from a visit to the western part of the State. We are pleased to meet in the city today our old friend Mr. T. D. Sledge, formerly of Raleigh, but for some years past a resident of Henderson- ville. He is meeting with a cordia greeting from friends and acquaint ances. Mrs. Sue Tisdale, of New Berne, is the guest of Mrs. E. S. Brown, on North Salisbury street. Mr. Thos. Gorman, a former Ral eigh boy, has, we are glad to learn opened a dry goods store in Wilming ton, N. C. A New Idea. Yesterday, Squire M B. Barbee, the leading Justice of the Peace for Raleigh opened .a regular court at the Fair Grounds which will be continued all the week. The Squire inaugurat ed the court by a regular charge to the police officers as to their duties, jurisdictions ete., telling them how to proceed in cases of disturbance Squire Barbee was solicited to pursue this course for very good reasons. In the first place it is due to offenders, arrested for violations of law that they should have speedy trials, and this can best be accomplished by the establishment of a court on the grounds, thereby avoiding the ab sence of any of police force, in bringing persons to the city. We hope there will be no use for the court, but it is a good idea, in case of emergency. There .is nothing like good order, and all connected with the fair will see to it that this is pre served. Alex Creech, Esq. This well known citizen, who for so many years was one of our leading merchants, and who for some time past has been a salesman for Messrs. W. H. & R. S. Tucker & Co., has ef fected a similar engagement with Norris' Dry Goods Store.the new firm on Fayettevilie street, next to the Raleigh National Bank. Mr. Creech is so well, and.so favorably known in this community, that it is almost superfluous for us to say anything in his favor. For a long series of years he has been in the dry goods business and by his strict attention, fair deal ing and courteous manners, he has won the highest regard of all our peo ple. Everybody esteems him and all wish him well, in whatever sphere he may enter. There . is no purer gen tleman nor none more upright in all the transactions of life. May he yet realize ,to the fullest extent a renewal of the sunshine of prosperity. He de serves it. The west bound express on the Canadian Pacific was wrecked at Poplar Point, forty miles from Win nipeg, Wednesday night, while going at a speed of thirty miles an hour.the engine having run into a herd of cat tie. The State! Fair Beautiful Weather and Large Atten dance. The annual exhibiton of the State Agricultural Society opened today n accordance with the programme. The weather is beautiful and the crowd in attendance much larger than usual on the opening day. The outlook is indeed promising for one of the best fairs ever held here. The exhibits are. numerous and arranged in the most attractive Btyle. The crops are good, and almost everybody has at least a little money. In fact our folks generally look happy and con tented and a most enjoyable occasion can be anticipated. The procession was formed at 10 a. m., lu accordance with the program me as published in the Visitor yes terday afternoon. On arrival at the grounds, Got. Fowle made the open ing address formally declaring the fair opened. Every incoming traia is loaded with people and by tomor row our streets will be a rare spectacle of bustling humanity. Let us hope that the week will pass off in a man ner ere 1i table alike to Raleigh and the good "Old North State." Does Merit Win ? When all things are equal merit does sometimes win not always. If you put merit and low prices togeth er they make a strong team and pull over all obstacles, but either alone, are not so sure of success. Now the way we do is to find those goods that have merit and value in them; then put our price on "which is always lower than others," and we have no trouble in getting right up the hill. You see we talk positive about this matter; and we can afford to for we are talking from experience and know that what we say is true. If we should make a mistake in a purchase and find that we had something with no merit in it, we sacrifice it at once. We never keep goods that are not strictly first class in all particulars; hence our success so far. We say that merit alone in any goods at prices that others sell it for, does not win. We say we take the very same goods that others handle and sell them 10c a yard cheaper and sell three yards to their one. The fabric is the same but the price is lower. Hemce, merit must be supported by low prices, which is the case at Swindell's. : In order to test the comparative merits of the various newspaper advertising mediums, and at the same time benefit the readers thereof, we shall consider this ad vertisement 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. Swindell. - Advocates of female equality will be glad to hear that women have forced themselves into another oc cupation that has generally been given over to men. Two Chicago young women have become full fledged highway robbers. They hold up their victims in true footpad style, and from a financial point of view have been very successful. We are fast moving toward the time when we shall have to abandon all our old ideas about the incapacity of women.

Epoch. Norfolk's splendid afternoon news paper, The Public Ledger, is out in a new dress from head to foot and shows a decided improvement in other respects. It is a clean newsy caper, and we wish Edwards & Five- ash, the proprietors, the abundant success they bo richly deserve. Roa noke Herald. SPECIAL NOTICES.
