Market well supplied. Advertise in the Visitor. Land companies booming. Did you ever see more beautiful weather? Flowers will remain fresh for a fortnight if a little carbonate of soda is mixed with the water. The Legislature meets on the first Wednesday after the first Monday in January next, which is the 7th of the month. The Union Mission is surely becom ing a popular place with the country people who remain over in the city during the night. The Mission was nearly full of them last night. Every night they come and appear to be deeply interested in the services. Just keep your eyes open. We shall have something more to say about the mayoralty soon; and then we shall take up something else. Sub scribe for the Visitor aud be ready, Lightning may strike you. More light has been the cry for lo these many nights, and yet darkness prevails in many localities; and Jack the Grabber holds higti carnival on some'of our streets. Gentlemen, turn on more light. We cannot, as a city, afford to stumble around in darkness as we have been compelled to do for a long time. Hurry op the arrange ments that are talked of. We direct special attention to the advertisement of Mr. 1). 8. Waitt.one of the leading clothiers of this eity. Mr.Waitt has in store a splendid stock of everything pertaining to the cloth ing line, and there is no house in North Carolina that can offer better inducements. Let everybody in want of clothing give him a call. Strangers visiting Raleigh should by all means . see his vast emporium of trade. Governors' Guard.

Latham tor Reading Clerk , H. A. Latham, editor of the Wash ington Gazette, is out for reading clerk of the House again. Mr. Latham served very efficiently, and very acceptably two years ago, and with the experience of the last session his election to that position would doubtless b the thing for the new House of Representatives to do. i A High Old Time at the Capital Club Yesterday. A certain young man from the west came very near being seriously injur ed yesterday at the Capital Club. While on a spree, he broke things up pretty badly in the building, and then in a fit of mad fury ran square through a window and fell on the pavement, severely cutting and bruis ing himself. His wounds were dress ed, and he lis reported to have the big Jiead this morning. , Itev. J. T. Harris. It is with profound sadness many ia the State will receive the sad intel ligence of the death of Rev. J. T. Harris, Superintendent of the Oxford Orphan Asylum. He was 46 years of age, was in the Confederate army un til thesurrend .-rof Johnson's forces at Beutousville, S. C, 1863. He entered the ministry iu 1870 and was a Pre siding Elder at the time of his elec- Ltion to the Supc-rintendency of the Orphan Asylum about the 1st of Sept. of this year. He anl the present Grand Master Smith were orphan boys together in the same house in childhood. He was a useful man and greatly beloved. Winter Gardens. While looking around the city and lis tening to the various suggestions on all sorts of topics, a prominent gen tloman remarked that a man who had any ground and did not make a point of cultivating a winter garden, wast ed his land and lost his t est season for profits. Vegetables are scarce in Raleigh every winter and sell at fine prices. Such winter vegetables as cauliflowers, kale, spinach, turnips, celery, etc., do not abound in our market as they should, during the winter, and if some of our market gardeners would give more attention to the cultivation of all sorts of win ter vegetables for the table, they would realize large profits. Durii the winter thair cultivation will be inexpensive. There are numbers of small gardens in ihe city which could be made to yield abundantly to the families occupying them at very lit tie cost. ' Personal Mention. Mr. Ed. M. Enniss is sick. Maj. W. M. Robbins, of Statesville, is in the city. Lt. Gov. Holt has returned to his home in Alamance.

Watson is very ill with typhoid fever at home in the western suburbs of the city. Great fears are apprehended as to her recovery. Her sisters, one from Durham and one from Chatham county, are with her. Chamber of Commerce. A meeting was held last night, Mayor Thompson being in the chair in the absence of President Latta. On motion of Alderman Moring, a report was adopted, that the city authorities Ipetition the legislature to pass such laws as will enable them to take in charge and improve the sidewalks of the city; that the board of aldermen be requested to appoint a committee to act with a committee of the Chamber of Commerce to ar range the details of said legtslation, and that the city authorities be re quested to purchase a steam roller to be used in connection with the countv rock crusher, if arrancnmpnfa nan nam made to that end with the County Commissioners. Mr. Ellington, of Ellington, Roy ster & Co.fl was present, and on being requested to make a statement, said that he had bid on the depot three times, and that the second bid had been mislaid, and that a duplicate of it was sent to Maj. Winder yesterday. Alderman Upchurch stated' that property holders on Martin Street were desirous of having paving done on Marting Street, and were willing to pave their porton. Mr. Jones, President of the Raleigh Street Railway stated that the elec- trict system was a certainty and one of the gentlemen, who had bought the Raleigh Street Railway, was on the way here to effect the establish ment of the electric system. On mo tion, a vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Jones for his efforts in ther be half. Dr. Hines spoke in regard to light ing the city, and said that the pres ent lighting was very inadequate. He also called attention to the fact that Morgan street had never been opened to the city limits, and that this street should be open as it was needed as an outlet. He also sug gested that property owners have their gates arranged to open inside the fences. On motion these mat ters were referred to the committee on city improvements. Mr. Pace moved that Mr. Moring be requested to confer with the board of aldermen and county commission ers with regard to opening Morgan street. The motion was adopted.
