Can't ' our Chamber of Commerce stir the matter up some? The North Carolina Car Company are turning out some splendid work. None better from the north or else where. The prophecy of an early winter is not entirely confirmed. All signs sometimes fail and even the katy dids have done so thus far. There is still talk of a lease or 6ale of the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad, but tt what corporation has not yet transpired. Work on the new Baptist Chapel on the Hillsboro road near the Agri cultural College is expected to com mence in a short while.

These ru mors are current talk as 'such we give them. Edenton Street Church. The meetings at Edenton Street .Church still continue with much in ' terms', conducted by Rev.

Why Move It? For some years after our annual fails, there Luxe been spasmodic talks about moving the exposition, and this year is no exception to what seems to be the general rule. Just what cause there seems to be for this, no one can positively assert except it be based on a spirit of jealousy which should not exist. Raleigh is the centre of the State, or, so nearly so, as to make but little material difference. It is as easy of access as probably any other city in the State, , and, surely our people possess as much hospitali ty and cordiality for those who come into our midst as can be found in any other community. Besides all this there is another and perhaps a better reason for the retention of the fair In .Raleigh. It is the Capital of the State and there are hundreds, or, we may say thousands who would come here, when perhaps they might not sore.i'li'y go elsewhere. Again, the buildings and grounds are all ready, ueeding little else than a few repairs e ich vear to put them in proper trim. A removal would involve much labor and additional expense, which, it is admitted the society is, at this time ill able to bar. Raleigh is the cen tre of the Agricultural interests of North Carolina, or.rather the depart ment is here, ready at all times to render such aid and information as will be of valuable service. In a word, there is no reason what ever for even the semblance of dissat isfaction, and certainly no cause for even a hint of removal. The fair is here, and we hope here to stay. A Uale old Man. P. T Barnum at eighty years of age takes a more active personal in terest in his Greatest Show on Earth than any man of equal age does in any other business. Since his return from Europe, where he was enter tained by Royalty and dined by the most aristocratic clubs of London, he appears even more active than ever before. He reads all the "copy" pre pared by the agents of the Show be fore it goes to the printer. When it is stated that that means reading 600,000 words in manuscript, one can eaisily see it is no easy job the old gentleman has undertaken. He per sonally attends every proforn ance of the show when exhibiting in New Tork, and sometimes goes with it to the large cities. Mr. J. A. Bailey, though, is the master mind' which governs the organization of the big affair and secures a'l the features and attractions. The whole show will be here on November 6th. After nextTuesday the public mind can revert to material matters. Poli tics will be as dull as ditch water. New Advertisements. See notice of George C Ray and J. 1 M. Dennis, executors of the late M.

Tonight the "Two Orphans will be rendered and there should be a crowded house. Popular prices prevail. Collision. This morning, as the incoming freight train approached the depot.a collision took place with the train standing on the track at the station in readiness to depart for Keysville. It seems that the switches bad not been changed as usual, so that the freight train ran. into the Keysville train causing a general smash up but fortunately hurting no one. Both engines were somewhat damaged, but not so much but what they can be repaired without much loss of time. But for the usual slacking up of the freight train at the switches, serious loss of life might have taken place. Green Haired Men in Nevada. Virginia Chronicle. There is a curious effect wrought on the hair and beard of men engaged in the Martin White mine at Ward. The ore is roasted, but no disagree able perfumes arise from the heating process, yet there is some unknown substance that changes the hair, beard and eyebrows as green as grass. The hair is not injured, hut retains its softness and gloss. It is probable that the fumes of the green tint of copper continued in the ore change the hair to that color. An Explanation. As to the merit and popularity of Dr. Pepper's Phos-Ferrates, is un necessary; a splendid iron tonic, and just the thing for these cool days. For sale at J. Hal. Bobbin's Soda Fountain. Try it. Lost.
