Fearful Cyclone.
A terible cyclone prevailed in Robe
son county, last Thursday. It passed
ust west of Maxton about 4 o'clock
in the afternoon; its direction was
nearly north. Fortunately its track
was not wide. At Floral College, the
belfry of the Presbytrian Church
was demolished, the beautiful grove
was ruined, a house occupied by col
ored people was blown rfo'rn and
three colored Mldren wore injured
one seriously, if not fatally. Mc-
Kinnon's saw mill was de-L.ohnhed;
and one man there was seriously in
jured. At Hasty, a small town on the Cape
Fear Si Yadkin Valley railroad, about
eight miles from Maxton and twelve
miles from Bonuettsvill S. O., four
tenement houses occupied by colored
people were blown down and one col
ored man !s reported killed and sever
al persons injured.
Trees and fences in the track of the
storm were levelled with the ground
Come and Gone.
The Annual State Fair of 189 has
come and gone and left behind it
many reminders. That it was a great
success, no one denies. In fact, it has
come up and even beyond the highest
expectations. It is due to candor, to
state that the exhibits .were not as
numerous as on some former occasions
but they were a fair average. So far
as the attendance of people is con
cerned, we must think the record was
splendid. It is a source of much grat
ification to note that the week has
passed off without the slightest acci
dent of any kind to mar the occasion,
Although our city was thronged with
people representing almost every
sphere of life, the utmost good order
prevailed. This speaks well for us,
and will have its influence on all fu
ture occasions. Today has been pass
ed at the grounds in sending off ar
tides, and on Monday the place will
resume its usual quiet for the 'next
twelve months.
Another Hotel.
It was appareet to almost every
observer during tf je present week,
that Raleigh is lacking fn hotel facili
ties, sufficient to properly accommo
date the large crowds that frequently
come to our city. Those who noted
the many persons during Wednesday
and Thursday evenings last, eagerly
enquiring for hotel conveniences roust
be convinced that there is a sad de
ficiency in this respect.
We are totally unable to account
for the backwardness of some of our
leading financial citizens in respect to
building a new hotel. It does seem
that there could not be any better
ordinary investment. We hope this
matter will receive the attention of
our Chamber of Commerce, and, that
at an early day we may be enabled to
announce that Raleigh is'to have an
other establishment which will do
credit to herself as the Capital of
North Carolina. Let us be no longer
subjected to adverse criticism upon
the subject.

Two Handsome New Churches.
Charlotte News.
Two of the prettiest churches to be
seen in any city, North or South, are
now in course of erection in Charlotte.
One is the Associate Reformed, at the
corner of Third and Tryon streets,
and the other is the Episcopal, corner
of Seventh and Tryon streets. The
walls of both are 'now under way.
They are built in the latest design of
church architecture, and are not on
1) large and roomy, but exceedingly
handsome and imposing in appear
ance ':' Brown stone and dark colored
brick predominate in the Episcopal
building, while terra cotta brick and
granite trimmings characterize the
Associate Reformed - church. When
these two churches are completed, j
Charlotte's claim to the handsomest j
churches of any city in the State (and !
more of them) will be still iurther
strengthed.
