In and Around the City. Merchants busy. Get your turkeys. Tobacco booming Cotton coming in freely. And still the pretty weather con tinues. Electric lights were turned on at the cotton factory last night. A. knitting factory is the latest talk, with prospects of early consumma tion. The Governor has appointed Gar don Sargeant, of Forsyth, a notary public. - ' We are in receipt of the North Car olina Teacher for November. It is a number of unusual interest The knowing ones say, that the tobacco business in Raleigh, this season, will be double that of last year. The sale of stock by Capt. B. P. Williamson was quite well attended today and is still in progress as we go to press. Some of the stock sold at very low prices. We will en deavor to give a more full account of the sale tomorrow. Yesterday afternoon sparks from a locomotive set on fire the fence arouud the premises lately occupied by Mrs Dr. Parker, near, the western limits of the city. Before di covered the flames had nearly reached the resi- n.iid it reauired some hard fighting to subdue them. It was how ever accomplished, and little damage was the result. The "Great American Chinaman Mr. L R. Wyatt, is surely coming to ' the front as a laundryman of tbe best Chinese style. He comes out every morning with one of the handsomest, and most substantial laundry wagons we have seen at all. The wagon was built by Messrs. Evans & Martin, who hf the wav. are turning out soino 'rf " ' very substantial and handsom;; work. Wa call attention to tbe advertise mentof 'Prof. S. B. Nye, oculist and optician of New York j City, who is stopping at the Yarbrough House Prof Nye is well known to our citi zens as he has been visiting Raleigh for the past twenty years We cheer fnllv recommend him to all who desire anything in his line. Attention, Odd Fellows! Will meet tonight at 7 o'clock sharp. Work in the Second Degree candidates are earnestly urged to be on hand at 7:30 o'clock sharp. Re freshments after conclusion of work All Odd F ellows are cordially invited to attend. Electric Cars. Well, well. Thanks to our pro gressive citizens we are to have elec tric street cars. Then we can hustle back and forth and let the poor horses rest. One great advantage about elec trie cars is that it is not necessary to do so much grading. Electricity don't care anything about hills. Electric cars' run up hill just as fast as down, and don't have to wait to get to the top before they can stop. Look to Your House Tops. A practical gentleman suggests that now is a good time to stop leaks, or prevent them, in your house tops. The leaves are falling and accumu lating on the tops of houses and if allowed to remain will cause leaks " that would not otherwise oecur. He stated that a certain house in the city covered with tin had weeds growing this summer eight or ten inches high, or Ion which found root in the ao cumulations allowed to remain on the roof Of course it will not be long before that part of the roof will be justed thrdugh and leaking. . Personal Mention. Rev. Sam Watts.of Auburn, is sick. Maj. W. Graham, of Lincoln county, is here. Dr. T. L. Banks, of Panther Branch township, is in the city. Mr. Dewit Smith is in town looking as comfortable as usual. Ex Senator il. B. Adams, of Union, and Mr. J. II. Ferree, of Randleman, are at the Yarboro. Mr. J. D. Rifrgan has been confined at his home sick, on Hargett street, for several days. Hon. 8. B. Alexander, w ho has been. attending the meeting of the Alliance Executive Committee, returned home yesterday. Good for the Wagon Factory. We are informed that the North Carolina Wagon Factory has orders for a car load of wagons 'each day; and that in order to fill these orders they propose putting in electric lights and running the factory day and night. This only shows how indus tries may be built up with judicious management and proper energy. This wagon factory promises to ba fine paying instit ution to the stockhold ers, and is valuable to the commun ity in that it furnishes employment to quite a number of men at good wages. We hail with pleasure this indication of solid success thus early in the career of the factory, and sug gest that others may be organized and succeed as well. Combination and co operation will result in sue cets iu many directions if adopted Here is another cue for the Chamber of Commerce. A Charming Eutertainment. The entertainment at Neuse Tues day night was a success in every re spect. The weather was delightful, and everybody seemed to come happy and went away very happy. Every feature of the occasion and every face present seemed to be filled with mer ry life. Indeed, it was so exceedingly pleasant we were loth to see the part ing hour come. Raleigh and Wake Forest were both well represented. The young ladies of Neuse deserve special credit for their effort and suc cess. Everything nice for the inner man wsb served in abundance by the fair sx. The proceeds.which amount el t'i $41.71, were given for the bene fit of their church (Mt. Vernon). We hope some time in the near future they may have occasion to so delight fully entertain us again. Raleigh's Progress. There is no doubt about it, Raleigh is steadily grown. g. A stroll in any direction would convince anyone who has eyes to see, and ears to hear, There is more building going on here at the present time than there has been for years. Elegant residences, and beautiful cottages are springing up in every direction. All the car penters and masons in the city are busy. The Raleigh Cotton Mill is booming, and giving employment to a great many worthy boys and girls, and the North Carolina Wagon Fac wry is turning out a great many wagons, and yet it cannot supply the demand. The shops of all artisans in the city give evidence of increasing business, and the stores are full of goods, and the merchants are doing a good business. The sales of cotton here this year will reach over 40,000 bales, and our tobacco market is growing vigorously. A brighter time for all business has come to our beau tiful capital city. Our Land and Im provement' Companies promise to do much to keep up this thrift. Thanksgiving day will soon be here and all our people should turn out with thankful hearts, and give praise to God for His great goodness to us, aud the prosperity He has 'given us Smoke the celebrated Pansy Queen a gooi 5 cent cigar. For sale br J. HalBobbitt. v The Chrysanthemum. J . j The following taken from an Ex change will no doubt interest s me of our readers. The chrysanthemum belongs to the very extensive world wide natural or der composite or daisy flowers. In the cultivated form it originated at a very remote period. Tne evidence we possess points to the existence in the Chinese Empire of cultivated varieties for at least 2,500 years. The progenitor of these varieties was very probably chrysanthemum indicum, a species indigenous to China, Corea and Japan, with a small single and yellow color flower. The earliest lit erary reference to the chrysanthe mum we find in the "Li Ki " of Con fucius, written about 500 years before Christ. It is the national flower of the Chinese, and no other flower is so conspicuous in their gardens and houses, and is everywhere an emblem of everything that is graceful and beautiful. Married. Bynxjm Freeman On Wednes-. day, the 19th inst. at the bride's reel dence, on East Hargett street and in the presence of a number of friends of the young couple, Mr. Raymond By num, a former resident of this city, to Miss Emma Freeman, daughter of Mr Jas. Freeman, the Rev. Dr. J H Cordon, officiating. The bride looked supremely lovely in a rich, brown traveling suit, and after receiving the congratulations of their numerous friends, the happy couple left town by the evening mail on a trip to the South. Mitchell Smith At the Ex change Hotel, in this city yesterday morning at 11 o'clock, Mr. A. P. Mitchell, manager of the Western Union Telegraph Office at Asheville, was united in marriage to Miss Fan' nie Smith, daughter of Mrs. R. W Smith, Rev. Dr. Carter, officiating. After the ceremony the contracting parties left on a bridal tour for Rich mond, Va., followed by the best wish es of many friends. Stephenson Whitakkr At the residence of Mrs. Willis Whitaker, two miles north of this city yester day afternoon at 2 o'clock, Mr. Thos Stephenson was united in marriage to Miss Cora Whitaker, Rev. Dr. J. S. Watkins officiating. Our best wishes attend them. Phos-l errates Continues to boom as the leading soda fountain beverage. A good tonic, and a splendid remedy for in digestion.

I will try to be honest, but it will be just my darn luck ew miss it. I won't bet on nothing, for things that require betting lak something I will respekt public opinyun just ez long ez i kan respekt myself in do ing it. When i hear a man bragging on his ancestors, i won't en y him, but i will pity the ancestors. It iz just as natural tew be born rich as poor, but is seldom so conve nient. I wont hanker for happiness, but if i see any thet.i think iz a bargain will shut up one eye and go for it. I wont advise enny body until i kno the kind of advice tney are anxious t w follow. I wont ware enny more tight boots if i hev tew go barefoot tew do it. Repents HerBasty Marriage. Syracuse, N. Ym Nov. 18. Thos.

W. H. & R. S. Tucker & Co What a Postage Stamp Done. A postage stamp is a small thing, but its capabilities for weal or woe to a great many people sometimes is great. You may never have thought of it in this light; but a single stamp has been known to work wonders. We have a case in point; we will give it to you and let y ju judge for your self; on November 5th we received a stamp with a letter under it, telling us of a sheriff 's sale of clothing and ladies cloaks from a very large house in New York that had more goods than money. We got on the first train leaving the city; we attended the sale which proved to be beyond a doubt the grandest opportunity we ever had offered us. We bought a more elegant line than we ever had, even at much more money. e brought them to the city and have them now, ready for your judgment. So you see the great amoun: of good that one little stamp has done to a great many people in Raleigh by causing them to be able to get much nicer and better goods and for less money than ever before in their lives.
