, rf IK VOL. XTO. 63 tmun NOTES ABOUT THE CITY. What Our Reporters See and Hear Worth Giving to Our Readers News in Brief. Ice. Northeaster. Shoo Fly train. Sadden change. Locals scarce today. Christmas is almost here and then comes the legislature. The temperature dropped about fifteen degrees yesterday in twenty minutes. The cotton receipts thus far this season are 12 741, bales in excess of last season. New York claims the publication of 2,076 separate and distinct news papers and periodicals. Wm. G. Hill Lodge, A. P. and A M., will meet tonight in regular com munication Election of officers; prompt attendance desired. This weather is a little rough on the new street railway system, but with energy and push, the manage ment will ' get there all the same." The circulation of Turner's North Carolina Almanac this year is over thirty thousand. This speaks in thunder tones for "the old reliable." The next Legislature will be ap plied to for an amendment to the charter of the city of Raleigh. The exact nature of them is not yet known, but presume it will include the extension of the city limits. Candidates for clerks, doorkeepers &c , in the next General Assembly are getting as numerous as black berries. '-Let the longest pole s eep the Simmons." Although the railroad tax invest! gating committee has adjourned, we learn the full report will not be gi-.-en tothe public at present, as there are some matters of importance yet uudi r consideration. A public ente-tainment will be given by the Lenzer Liternry Society or the Agricultural and Mechanical College, on the night of the 19th inst. Several meduls will be awarded The Messenger Intelligencer say that"Maj Ingram," of Wadeehoro "killed a fifteen months old pig"' re cently- "weighing 400 pounds net." That thing was certainly too big and hogish to be called a pig. ; It is said that the Seaboarl Air Line will put on a fast through sched ule from Baltimore, to Abbeville. S C, today. The time will be 45 miles an hour over the railways. A sleeper will mn from Monroe to Abbeville. The Richmond & Danville railroad authorities have made arrangements to have the train from Raleigh run through to Wilson on Tuesday m rn ing. for the benefit of ministers at tending the .North Carolina Confer ence. Close connection will be made at Selma and passengers will go through without interruption. Mr. W. W. Unchurch the Assistant Secretary, of the State Pair, began making out t he statements for the premiums on Thursday and on Fri day night the statements and checks were all ready for delivery. Those who are entitled can call at once and get their cash. Everybody -whose eyes are defec tive, from whatever cause, should call on Prof Nye arid have the proper remedies applied. The Professor is widely kno wn in our city, and all who consult him will never regret it. Read his announcement. In the case of the American Fertil izer Company against the State Com missioner of Agriculture, Judge Sey mour has filed a decree perpetually enjoining the commissioner from col lectmg the license tax o $500 on fer tilizers sold In this State. The com missioner has taken an appeal to the Supreme, ppurt of the United States. It is gratifying to note that the general health of Raleigh was never better than at present. Reports aro that the weather is un usually ccld throughout the North and North wet t. Our little spat here doesaiot atnouut to much, bat it is quite a somersault from last week. The Christian Endeavor Society holds an iaipor;ant uieetiug at the Tabernacle tonight and every mem ber is urgbd (o be present. Arrange ineuis are to be made f jr the State meeting iu January. The Supreme Court is i.ow engaged on appeals from the eleventh district. This is getting through the work in splendid time, and shows the wisdom of the increase of Judges on the bench. There is no harder working judicial body than our Supreme Court Judges, and certainly none more able. : It has been suggested that the statue of Washington on Capitol Square be rubbed up a little, and put in proper trim for meeting the peo pies' reprtnentiUi eu nest month. The General bum had a great deal of hard weather to stand, and surely he should be entitled to a new suit, or have the eld one brushed up A Card of Thanks. Editor of Visitor: Allow me space in your paper to express my thanks to some of the ladies of Cen tral Church, for a purse with which to purchase a suit of clothes. Besides the substantial aid afforded by this geuerous act, the expression of ap preciation from the godly members of my charge is specially encouraging to my heart. Our Lord 6s,ys, "It is more blessed to give than to receive;" this being true, the donors in this case are blessed indeed. May the blessings of Our Father rest upon them forever. As our Conference is drawing near, and the possibility of a separation looms up before me, dear old Raleigh with all of her kindness to me, has a warm place in my heart, 1 love all of her people. When a sick soldier boy, in the hospital in the Peace In stitute building, the tender hands of Raleigh ladies nursed me from a lin g 'riiij.' skkness.tbat brought me near to death's door, back to life again. Duriiiv the pa t three years I have had the honor to serve as a pastor hre,the many acts of kindness shown me by these dear people binds my heart to them with "hoos of steel." God bl'-ss the good people of the City of Oaks. L. L. Nash. The Churches Yesterday. The congregations were small at all the churches yesterday. The rain began early in the morning and pre vented the Sunday schools from hav ing their usual numbers, and by the time for the people to gather for the 11 o'clock services, the rain came down in good earnest. This was par ticularly unfortunate for the Metho dist churches, as it was the last Sab bath of the present conference year, and the time of their pastors expire with the convening of conference at Wilson on Wednesday, the 10th. Dr. Nash, Dr. Cordon and Rev. J. D. Pegram have served their respect ive churches faithfully and well, the first for three years, and Dr. Cordon and Mr. Pegam for one year each. The return of all three of these faith ful men of God is desired. There was no services at the Chris tian church as Rev. J. L. Poster, the former pastor, who has been re-ap pointed for another year, has not re turned yet,but is expected to be her and begin his new year's work on next Sabbath. The polity of the other churches in the city being entirely different, they are -not disturbed by this annual breaking up of the relations between pastors and people, but their serviced were interfered with by the weather also. The rain was very much need ed to pinion the dust, but it would be difficult to . find a time when it will not inconvenience somebody. - Palace Trains. The new solid vestibule trains on the Richmond and Danville Railroad between Atlanta, Gai, and Washing ton, City, will be put on about the 1st of January. It wOl be one of the best equipped trains ever seen in this country, consisting of baggage, mail, dining and observation cars with two sleepers, the cost of the whole being about flGO.OOO. The distance between the two cities is about 618 miles which will be iun in eighteen hours. Change of Managers. We learn that Mr. N. R. Young, who for the past two years has been manager of the Western Union Tele graph office, in this city, has retired from that position and will go to Washington City for the present. Mr. Young, during his stay in our city, has made many warm friends who will deeply regret to part with him. As an electrician he has but few equals, and we doubt not the management of the company will still retain him in some prominent place should he so desire it. We wish him much success in whatever sphere he may enter. Mr. Young is succeeded by Mr. John Brown, of Washington, a gen tleman who comes among us with the highest endorsements, and whom, we have good reason to believe, will prove acceptable to our people. The force in the off ce here are mainly composed of gentlemen well up in their calling, and we hope the new manager will find his residence among us in all respects agreeable. Personal Mention. Mr Ed. Barbee has gone to Rich mond, Va . on a visit. Rev. J. P. Barrett has gone to Vir ginia on business. Mr. Geo. Womble of Augusta, Ga... formerly of Raleigh arrived in the city yesterday. His very interesting and pleasant mission will be given later to the readers of the Visitor. Mr. John W. Brown went to San ford last Saturday night to attend the funeral of Mrs. Allie Brown which took place yesterday. Our friend Mr. Nick L. Jones who has been for sometime connected with Messrs. W. C. & A. B. Stronach as clerk, has gone to Franklin county where he will engage in the business of farming, which he thinks will be more conducive to his health. May success attend him. State Fair. The Executive Committee of the North Carolina State Agricultural Society will meet Wednesday evening the 10th, at 8 o'clock at the Agricul tural building. A full meeting & earnestly desired as matters relating to the State Fair will come before them. "The Meanest Cigar in Town." Is the name of an all Havana Five Cent Cigar, for sale by J. Hal. Bob- bitt. $3.50 Reward. Will be paid for the return of a large sized white and brown nohorned cow, face and legs from knee to hoof, brown; ridge across nose as if a halter been. Strayed from my pasture on the 4th inst. de8mw GEO. L. TONNOFFSKI. It is stated by Washington author ity that Robert P. Porter, the super intendent of the census, has present ed his statement to the Secretary of the Interior, giving the population of the United 8tates as finally deter mined and the total population for 1890 foots up 62,622,250. When people do not particularly like each other it is sometimes said, "There is no love lost between them." The phrase occurs in the old ballad of " The Babes of the Wood." and in a tale of the days of Shakespeare, en titled "Montchensy." An Appeal to Xorth Carolina. 1 Ladies astd Gkxtlkmkx ok Noam Carolina: You have heard of ray grf'at work i in Western North Carolina, in edu?a- : ting for the last twenty eight years, thousands of the orphans and indi gent of our people, free of tuition charge.

Anything that. is worth doing, is worth doing with all your might; to half way do a thing is worse fhan not doing it at all. Our motto has always been "do all you do with all your mind, might and strength. We have this posted in our hat, and we do it in all things, in buying and selling es pecially. Now we sell good goods for less money than others, and we do it with all our might; not one article or one line of goods, but we do it all the way through, from a 2 cent paper of pins to a $90 carpet. You can't do anything as it ought to be done un less you devote your whole mind to it. We give this one thing our un divided attention. We have but one aim, one ambition in life, and that's to sell everything for less money than anybody else sells it. We do it too we have always done it. We never give in on anything, and we never will take a back seat on low prices It takes nerve to sell a carpet worth $ 1.25 a yard for 75 cents, but we have just the nerve to do it II a i J ware, &c.
