Now (or Christmas. Yesterday was a delightful day. The slaughter of turkeys yesterday was immense. Everybody seemed happy yester day. Thanksgiving Day was a success, if we can Judge correctly from out ward appearances The Thanksgiving services at Cen tral Methodist Church were exceed ingly pleasant and profitable. Active preparations have commenc ed for the construction of the street railway. Did you ever see such beautiful weather ? This was the question pro pounded at every turn yesterday. The loss of powder and shot, yes terday, was very large; that of the feathered tribe much less. There was a general exodus to the surrounding country, in pursuit of recreation of various kind yesterday. At the church of the Good Shepherd most interesting services were held yesterday, a large congregation being present. We learn that the Charity Rail was well attended last night ami a hand some sum realized for the object in view. At the First Presbyterian Church the meetings under the ministration of Rv Dr. Morton continue with Ttttrofe-icterest manifested. The series of meetings at the Bap tist Tabernacle ftill continue and much religions interest is being mani fested. Lnst night there was a large crowd in attendance and the services were very impressive. Te attendance at the performance of ''3ootles' Baby" on Wednesday night v as glint although the perfor mance was excellent. The company deserved better success. At Edenton Ptreet Methodist Church yeaterdny, the union services were largely attended and a most in teresting sermon was preached by Bev. Dr. Carter of the First Baptist Church. Th barbecue gotten up by the typographical fraternity at Bledsoe's spring yesterday was quite an enjoy able event. Everything passed off well, and the "boys" returned to the city in the best humor possible The Durham Globe says that there are only two policemen on duty at night in that place. The question is, how many policemen does it require to entitle a place to the name of city, and how many do villages and towns usually have f Talking to one's self is not uncom mon with men who do much think ing, but it is not often that we see added to it vigorous jcsticulation and warlike demonstration, as was the case with a certain citizen coming down Fayetteville street a few morn ings ago. Young men and boys standing in front of church doors puffing cigars, and worse still, cigarette smoke in the face of the people going into church is a nuisanae that our police should break up. Our cot; ton factory has been in operation only about four months. It is conceded to be a paying invest ment and has a pay roll of over $15, 000 per annum; Let us have a few more as soon as possible. A new house is to be erected near the Johnson Street Railroad Station for the use of the train dispatcher. It will be most conveniently arranged in all particulars, Our friend, John Horton, yard superintendent, is look ing after it. and this ensures a com - plete job. Prompt Work. Horses, mules, carts and machinery have already arrived for the com mencemeut of the new electric system. This is prompt, and looks as if the work is to go tor v ard with all possible dispatch. This is strictly business, and lends to the hope that Hie entire system may be finished and ia opera tion bef re the Legislattue adjourns, so that the peoples' representatives may have a good opportunity to carry to their constituents the good news of progress ut the Capital. Small Houses. There is an undoubte d need in this city for residences of moderate dimen sions and reasonable rents. Such houses will be s ught after almost continually as our city increases in population, and they will be, beyond question a source of profit to these who invest in them. We hope that our capitalists will look into this mat ter as there cannot be a better source from which to derive a safe return. Married. Mr Thomas Pace, of Wake county, to Miss Almeta Brooks, of Garner, on the 20th, Rev M E Adams, of Wake Forest, officiating Mr Charles Ellis, of this city, to Miss Grizzie Weathers, of Eagle llock, at the residence of the bride, on the 26th, Capt Smith, J P, officiating, the minister failing to arrive. The happy couple came immediately to his mother's, on North Person street, to spend Thanksgiving. Public School Matters. Prof. G. P. Jones has been elected as teacher of vocal music in Murphey and Centennial schools. We are glad to record the fact that vocal music is to be. a part of the course of study in those schools. Prof. Chas. N. Hunter, the Princi pal of Oberlin School has been pro moted to the principalship of Garfield School made vacant by resignation of D. A. Lane. An examination of applicants for the principalship of Oberlin School will beheld by Superintendent Moses at an early day. The i.'hriKtmas holidays will begin on Wednesday, December 24th at 12 m. and the school will open again Friday, January 2d. ttaieigh lias a Furniture Fac tory. In our reference tc our need of a furniture factory a few days ago, we meant to call attention to the demand for one on a large scale, and so com plete that it would mret the demand for the finest bed room sets, office and general furniture. We did not desire in any way to reflect upon the furni ture factory now operated by Mr Ruffln Rdes, which is really doing well and turning a large business in the lighter and cheaper grades. He has struggled hard in building up the business and but for want of capital his factory would meet the require ment. If Mr Roles has the ground room for extension, our suggestion now is that he organize a stock company with capital sufficient to increase his factory so as to include the best as well as the cheap grades. We are glad to learn that he is meeting with success and is not able to keep up with orders. Merchants will soon be very busy arranging their show windows so as to make a good appearance for Christ man goods, of which a larger sale than for many years, is anticipated. All of which is due to our abundant crops and the general boom of our city and vicinity. Select Norfolk Oysters Tomor row. Lea ve orders at my store at once, and your orders shall be promptly filled. Phone 28, D. T. Johnson. Call on A. E. Jordan tomorrow if you want nice dressed turkeys. - Chalk Marks on Feuces. All about the city we notice many of the fences chalk marked, and it looks bad. We take it that it is done by children to and from school who do not know that they are violating the law and are liable to be arrested for it. Defacing private or public proper ty is a criminal offence, and we sug gest to parents and teachers that a strong reminder to their children may save somebody trouble, as the police have alieady had their atten tion called to the matter. Matrimonial. The Greensboro Workman of yes terday has the following: On yesterday we referred to the fact that Mr. Gid. Morris, of Raleigh, was here for the purpose of meeting Mrs. Wood, of San Diego, Cal., an old sweetheart of his. They were en gaged to be married 29 years ago. He went to the war and she heard that he was killed and she married anoth er man. In the meantime she has beeu married twice and he three times. Both are free, now, however, and they are to be married after 29 years of waiting. She arrived here this morning and they went down to Raleigh together. Both were as hap py and foolish as if they had never been married before. Personal Mention. Superintendeut.Gambrill of theRal eigh cotton factory, has gone North on a business trip. Mrs. J. H. Crabtree and three chil dren have removed to Roanoke, Va., to reside. Our old friend Mr. W. F. Tomlinson of Asheville, and the editor of the Country Home, a monthly Alliance Journal, is a candidate for engrossing clerk of theHouse. We shall certainly vote forrBro. Tomlinson; we enlorse him most heartily. Messrs. R. N. Hackett and Chas. S Johnson, of Winston, were in the city yesterday. Mrs Alice Scarborough has returned to the city and ppent Thanksgiving, from a visit to Miss Grizzie Weathers, at Eagle Rock. W. H. & R. S. Tucker & Co. Ladies' and Children's Wraps We have got a stock of wraps that any one can be suited from. We have fine wraps for best wear. Then we can show you all the cheaper ones too. If you wish a child's school cloak, then you can be suited, and at a price much lower than you can have the same garment made for. The styles of our children's cloaks are the newest, and our prices are so low you wonder how we can sell such a good garment at such a low price. If you need a wrap of any kind, be eureto see our stock before buying. W. H. & R. S. Tucker & Co. Get prices on New Home Machine from Uzzle. What do You Think of the Racket Store, or rather of Swindell ? (You know its not called Racket Store now.) Do you think he is the biggest liar in the world or do you think he tells you the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Of course we know what the majority of the people think. They know we do not lie, but we are talk ing now to you personally. What do you think ? You are bound to think one or the other. You can't think we are both honest and dishonest, can you? ow, we ask you: Is it con sistent with common sense or good judgment to think we would tell such big ones? Then, if not we must tell the truth, and if what we tell you is the truth, don't we sell our Dress Goods, Clothing, Shoes. Hats, Mil linery Goods, and e?ery thing else for less money than any other house in the city ? Now these are plain questions and we ask you to come and see our goods and prices and see what you think of the matter. " Swindell. SIIX'IAT, NCH ivv:. W. 8. Uzzle h i.. !(.!
