Market well supplied. Ladies shopping in force. Cotton receipts continue heavy. Winter examinations at the Uui versity have commenced. Eggs rather scarce for the season and very high. Lots of country people Jn town to day. See notice of mortgage sale of land by W. C Stronach. See advertisement of a seven room house for rent. Our peoplere simply disgusted at the ''goose bone" predictions about cold weather. It dont begin to work. Mayor Thompson is having an easy time comparatively in the way of offi cial life. The city is unusually quiet. Asheville is making great prepara tions for the Immigration Convention ' next week. There will be a good representation from Raleigh. There was no meeting of the Board of Aldermen last night for want of a quorum. An alarm of fire from box 47 was sent in about 10:30 this incruing, but nothing serious. Merely a chimney blazing a little. Messrs. JoBephus Daniels and R. H. Battle will represent the Chamber of Commerce of Raleigh at the Immi gration Convention at Asheville next week. Splendid selections. A look into the show windows of of our merchants is enough to make the mouth water. There were never so mauy pretty articles on exhibition, and they can be had at cheap rates. Christmas presents will fly around ex tensively this year. At the alarm of fire this morning the Rescue Horse "Henry" was hitch ed and driven out on. the fifth J ip cf the gong on the first sound, that is, to eay, the wagon was driven out before the last six taps were sounded of the flret sound of the box. The low rates offered by the Rail way companies for the Christmas hoi idays should bring a considerab e number of people to Raleigh. Let our friends throughout the State em brace the opportunity to come to the Capital and see how we are getting along. We will give them a cordial welcome. A prominent business man told us today that he thought there had been more steady, lasting progress of all kinds in Raleigh during the last five years than in any other city in the State. He said that while others had been making an eternal fuss about little matters, Raleigh had been go ing ahead in a substantial way, with no extra puffing or blowing about it. Sensible and true remark. , IIolidayRatesonthe Seaboard Air Line. The Beaboarl Air Line will sell re duced rate round trip tickets for the Christmas holidays between all points along its line. Tickets will be on sale December 20 to 25 inclusive, good re turning till January 2nd, also from December 29 to 81 inclusive, good re turning till January 5 inclusive. Personal Mention. Capt. C. M. Cooke, is in the city at tendiBg the Supreme Court. Mrs. John Justice of Waycross,Ga , is in the city, stopping with Mrs Annie Justice, and will remain sev eral days. ; Col. P. A. Olds has returned to the city from a trip to the eastern part of the State. ' Mr. R. E Premptrt has arrived in the city and will spend the Christ mas holidays with this friends. ',. Auction will commence tonight at "7:80 o'clock at Raleigh Shoe Store, Too Much of a Good Thing. We believe in our merchants being allowed to display goods in front of their places of business. But the.re is a limit t it after all, and it is very certain that some of our merchants frequently take too much liberty with the sidewalk. Martin and Hargett are busy streets and have narrow sidewalks, and often we fiud them so blocked that j edestrians can scarcely get along single file. This should not be so, and we call attention to it that the trouble may be removed. Merchant; are iu their v ?n light in blocking up sidewalks, it may look buBy like, but it will drive the people to some other street. Advertising Docs Pay. John Wanamaker, one of the most successful merchants in the United States, and to whose advice we call the attention of business men cf Ral eigh and elsewhere, says; "I spend $5,000 a week in advertis ing, and I pay a skillful man a for mer newspaper editor, and a good one $1,000 a month to do it for me. I make money by it. , Advertising is the leverage with which this store has been raised up. My business averages $25,00J,000 a year. I do not see how any large and succcsbf ul re tail business can be done without liberal advertising. Continuous ad vertising, like continuous work, is most (effective." House of Reformation. We notice that several of our con temporaries ere earnestly advocating the matter of establishing a Refor matory in our State, for the benefit of j outhf ul offenders. This is a mat ter for the serious consideration of the General Assembly, and we trust that its early consummation may be effected. There certainly should be a line of difference drawn between hardened criminals and .those who have just entered upon a downward career?" The object of imprisonment is mainly for the purpose of remov ing the offender from contact with evil persons, and it can hardly be expected that penitence of a lasting character will come to the youth who are thrown under the influences of those whose lives have been for y art devoted to the most vicious acts. We think the Legislature should lose no time in establishing a distinct and separate mode of dealing with young men and women who from whatever cause have initiated a life of crime. To confine a young boy or girl of 12 or 13 years of age for instance, where they can come in daily contact with thieves and villains of the most con firmed type, is but to piace them forever from a life of honesty and vir tue. It is due to common humanity that a House of Reformation should be established in North Carolina at once. Such institutions exist in other States and have -been the means of rescuing many a dearly loved child from permanent downfall. Married. Norris Burns Our popular countyman Mr. Herbert E. Norris is married and the Greensboro Work man of yt sterday gives the particu lars as follows: Love smiles at the objections of parents, and there are no obstacles which cannot be surmounted when two hearts are determined to beat as one.Such.has been the history of love aff airs.heretof ore and no doubt history w ill continue to repeat itself on thai score. On yesterday evening in this city at 6:45, Mr. Herbert Ef Norris, of Apex, N. C, was married to Miss Emma Burns, of Pittsboro, N. C.The ceremony was performed ,by Rev. Qi W. Callahan, of the M. E. Church. South. The marriage was witnessed by several . friends of the brid e and groom.;!. Her parents wished her to marry another party, to whom it was repor- ed, she was to have been married at an early day. Mr. Norris went to Plttsboioon yesterday"; got his bride and drove over to Slier City and took ; the train for this place, where the! legal formalities were gone through ! with which make further objections ' of no avail. After tne marriage me wide mauea a letter to her firmer lover telling him of her marriage. Nearly every thing has a dark side to it, and no doubt this was a very sad blow to him. The bride and groom took the north bound train for New York. THE LATE PROF. W. G, KERR. A Beautiful Tribute to a Worthy Sfan. Most of our readers and especially our older ones, will remember Prof. Kerr, who for many years was State geologist of North Carolina. He did as much and probably more to bring the mineral resources of North Caro lina into public notice, at home and abroad, than any other man. He held the office until it was abolished some years since. His remains wero interred in Oakwood cemetery in this city, and up to recently there has been nothing to mark his last resting place. Messrs. Cresswell & Breed, of the Creswell Springs Granite Quar ries, Iredell county, have just finish ed end placed in position over the grave a most beautiful obelisk of North Carolina granite, which can be pronounced as of fine quality as can be found anywhere. The monument is the contribution of Prof. Kerr's son who now resides in Concord, N. C, where he is engaged in the bagging business. The monument is a deserved trib ute to a man who did so much to de velop North Carolina, and is certainly a piece of work that reflects the high est credit upon Messrs. Creswell & Breed, who, we are pleased to learn, are doing a most thriving business at Mooresville. Past Three Score and Ten. The many friends of Capt. Jim pludy, of Raleigh will be interested k the following, which we get from thv Bethlehem Evening Times: Capt. John Eudy, superintendent and general manager of the Friedens ville Zinc Mining & Manufacturing Company, was 73 years old on Satur day, and his family, neighbors and workmen decided they would assist him in celebrating the event. They arranged things to have the Captain away from home during the afternoon so that he would not learn of the cel ebration in store for him, and accord ingly M. A. Albright, of tttis place, a friend of his, drove him to Allentown on some pretext or other. On their return to the Eudy homestead, at evening's approach, they found the house in'the possession of employes and neighbors generally. The old gentleman was overwhelmed with surprise and for a time was complete ly taken aback. After congratula tions the party was ushered into the dining room, where the tables were groaning under their weight of good things. Here addresses appropriate to the happy occasion were made by several of the gentlemen guests. The arrival of the Centre Valley Cornet Band at this juncture gave a new im petus to the festivities, the old Cap tain partaking of the spirit of the oc casion so that he , was as "young as the youngest.'' CaptvEudy received a number of handsome presents, among them a fine gold pen and pen oil. During the evening many of the guests found pleasure listening to the Captain's reminiscences of his life, which has been full of adventure Among those present were the Cap tain's sons, James and William Eudy John Henry, master mechanic at the works; Thomas Bennett and Al. Hoff, clerks; Wilson Kelper, Franklin Kei per, Mrs. Nace, M. A, Albright and others. All departed for their homes wishing the Captain many more birthday anniversaries. Arrested.

Merry Christmas is in the minds of many, and what to bestow in way of gifts is the perplexing problem. So much money is uselessly invested in worthless presents.

A man of 45 summers or more walk ed in our store yesterday and stated that he was just released irom tne - . . I a State prison; that he had heard of tne wonaenui oargains io ue uau Swindell's store, we asaea mm now and when he heard this. Said he: "I did not think there was any other store in Raleigh as 1 never heard anybody speak of any other while I was confined, but since I am out I see there are others in town." "Well," said we to the fellow, "how did you hear of Swindell's store in prison?" "Well," said he, "everybody I saw talked about it-the guards and keepers, the preachers and mission aries, the curious visitors, and it got well known that Swindell's was the f)lace to get the best value for the east money." This poor unfortunate bad a few dollars and he bought an outfit for himself and little boy at home. They all find out that theie is a place where full value can be had for each dollar spent.
