A Correction.
The cause of Larkiu Smith, now

Larkin Smith, by his next friend,

procured a powi r of attorney from
his father, Nov. 9th, 1888. Ferrell &
Wiggs, in behaif of their wives,
daughters of Larkin Smith, com
menced an action to have Larkin
Smith declared incompetent to at
tend to his ' basisess. Thereupon
Chas. H. Smith procured a power of
attorney for Messrs. Fuller & Snow
and Batchelor & Devereux directing
them to dismiss the suit at the cost
of Ferrell and Wiggs.
What a Bob Tailed Dog Did.
A hob tailed dog has unseated the
mayor of Newport, Ky. That town
has an ordinance taxing dogs one
dollar and imposing a fine of three
dollars on any owner who refuses to
pay the tax. At one house in the
town this yellow cur had taken up
his quarters, and when the assessor
came around he listed him to the
owner of the house' against his pro
test. He refused to pay the tax and
was fined in the mayor's court three
dollars. Declining to pay the fine he
waB sent to prison. On his release he
sued the mayor and town marshal
$5000 damages. On the trial of the
cause it was discovered that the may'
or had failed to quality as the law
directs, and the court decided that
that a 1 of his acts were illegal, as he
was not the mayor of the town. Thus
has a ten cent cur broken up a city
government.
2 That Negro Preacher's Shoe.
Charlotte News.
Every once in a while that oldstorv
about the immense shoe that was
manufactured in Boston for a Le. ro
preacher in North Carolina,is revived
and started along the line.. It has
been going the rounds for ten years,
but still our people would not believe
it. Those who held out that it was a
canard., must now -give up, for the
preacher has ordered a new pair, and
the shoe for bis right foot is now on
exhibition at Gilreath's store. The
factory is still at work on the other
shoe, and is pushing thii gs to get it
completed before the effects of the
McKinley bill are felt on the leather
market. The shoe is an enormous
thing and will hold a bushel of corn.
A Hotel for Northern People.
We know of no opening for the in
vestment of capital and well directed
energy that is so sure of large results
as a first class hotel, suitable for the
entertainment of northern people
who come south every year to pend
the winter months. Wherever in the
south these hotels are properly kept
and properly advertised north, they
become very profitable to the pro
prietors, whether in large or small
towns. Many of the former summer
resorts for our own people south have
become winter resorts for northern
people and are consequently crowded
in winter inbtead of being shut up as
formerly. This flow of northern peo
ple of large means to the south every
winter is increasing each year. Now
why cannot Raleigh have one or more
of these resort hotels? If we can ever
get the current started this way, it
will deepen and widen rapidly. It
has at every point in the south where
the accommodations were at all at
tractive to such people.
Charleston, S. C, has al owed hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to pass
by her and jingle in the pockets of
other towns and cities, just by her
slowness and shortsightedness. But
latterly the overflow has kept the city
crowded all the winter. Raleigh is
soon to be on a great north and south
trunk line; then why not take advan
tage of the opening and become a
principal objective point on this line,
before the current has cut its groove
to other and more enegetic cities and
sections?
If some of our capitalists would
erect a first class hotel with suitable
attractions for the entertainment of
people who demand first class accom
modations and are willing to pay first
class (prices, say from four to ten dol
lars a day, and would secure some
live northern hotelist who runs some
northern fashionable summer resort,
to come down and run this hotel in
winter and advertise it at his summer
resort in summer, success would be
assured and Raleigh would be full of
just the people we need to come
among us. No place in the south has
failed that has gone at it in this way
We must have " accommodation to
meet the requirements of-the very
wealthy or they will not como among
us. When they do come and are
pleased with the entertainment they
get, they will come again and bring
others and linger. Our climate at
tracts them and if surroundings please
them they will linger. Their coming
will be known and attract others,
Raleigh should have a first class win
ter resort hotel for northern guests. It
is one of the essentials.
A Liberal Donation to Central
M. E. Church South, of this
City.
The Rev. Dr. Nash, pastor of Cen
tral Methodist church, received $500
by express today to aid in its comple
tion. Rev. W. C. Norman, so well
and favorably known in Raleigh, was
the medium through which the offer
ing was made. Dr. Nash and Rev.
Mr. Norman are devoted friends, and
they have been corresponding about
this matter for some time. The donor
at first made his gift conditional, and
Dr. Nash was doing all he could to
meet the conditions, and finding that
he could not, he wrote his friend. Mr.
Norman, to do all he could to get the
donation unconditionally. Rey. Mr.
Norman plead as only he could for
help for his friend, and the result is,
he sent $500 today. God bless Rev.
W. C. Norman and his generous
friend. 1 hey could not have made a
donation to a more deserving cause,
or given help where it will do more
good.
