The gradual extension of the Sea board Air Line system of late years has Leen marked, and it bids fair in the near future to become one of the best lines in the country, certainly in the South. We are pleased to learn that, most raDid progress is being made on the Georgia, Carolina and Xnrther Road, because the com pletionofit will place Raleigh fully nn the line of through travel, uapi; Jno. A. Dodson. superintendent of that road, says that the track is now laid to the Savannah river, a distance Mn mllfin from Monroe, and that the cars on the road will run into At- Janta a few days ahead of the time allowed by the contract. All this means additional facilities for Ral eigh," an consequently opens up Alu. for a ew boom to our already progressive city. :.

A. M. Lewis, lust evening at 815 o'clock, aged Qi. Mr. Lewis has been for many years a prominent member of the bur of Raleigh and v.as widely known thioughout the Ptate. He has been in declining health for some time.and on Sunday evening last was stricken with caralvBi's trom the effects of which he died. He leaves a wife, several children and brothers to mourn their losB.with whom we deep ly sympathize, Just So. A stranger was in the city a few days ago looking around. He drifted into the store of Messrs. W. C. & A. B. Stronach, and as he looked around his eyes stared to their fullest extent He gazed intently upon the vast heaps of fancy groceries and all the splendid arrangements of the f stab lishment. Suddenly turning to Mr. Alex Stronts.ch he remarked. Well, I've traveled a good deal and I live in a town of seventy five thousand peo ple, but I cannot find in its limits such a perfect grocery establishment as this. And so it is. There is no better house in this State, or in the S mth. It is a treat to visit it. A Worthy Object.

I A Straw Indicating That Some thing Is in the Wind. An adjourned meeting of the stock holders of the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad was held yesterday, and their action in some particulars has given hopes of something in the fu ture,beneiicial to Ra!igh and this en tire section of North Carolina. Among other business a resolution was adopt ed, authorizing the Boaid of Direc tors to take sucn measurers as are necessary to construct branch and other roads, and to make the Raleigh and Gaeton Railroad independent of other lines. We are not sufficiently Vdrsed in railroad matters as to know exactly what this means, but, like other folks we can guess that it means the early construction of the proposed railway from Raleigh to Richmond, thereby placing us within about three hours of the latter city. It may mean also that the Atlantic Coast Line, (or whoever controls the Albemarle and Raleigh Railroad) will now conclude to build it to Raleigh. So that, the action of the stockholders yesterday may mean the unraveling of a long knotted question. Who knows? "Its an ill wind that blows nobody good." This may be the entering wedge to relieve us of long felt anxiety. Our Next Mayor. The desire to have the Mayor of Raleigh elected by the Primaries is growing and it is quite probable that such a course will be pursued. Sug gestions of the coming man are still made but there is considerable diver sity of opinion. The next Mayor of Raleigh should be a man of wealth, said one gentle man. Dr. Thos. D. Hogg, Maj. R. S. Tucker, Capt. B. P. Williamson or Ed. Chambers Smith, 'kEsqr, either, would fill the bill. We need a man df broad views, con servative spirit and one that has seen something of our country, its cities and towns, said another. Sever al of our citizens might be named but my choice is Capt. S. A. Ashe or Dr. R. H. Lewis, but my fear is that neither could be induced to accept it. The next Mayor of Raleigh should come from among our mechanics. said a man of brains and muscie. For we have not had a representation in that chair since the death of Mayor Separk, who, was one of the very best. And my suggestion is, that sometime before the Primaries meet, there should be a conference of our mechanics and workingmen and an agreement had on their choice. But the regulation of representa tion in the first, third and fifth wards, is the first consideration, and a mass meeting of the voters of these wards should be held at once to settle the matter. If this is not attended to in a short time so as to incorporate it in the amendments to the city charter it cannot be done at all by the coming legislature. An Opera House. Correspondence of the Visitoh The question of a new opera house is looming up and is one that will not down until something tangible is pre sented. For a city the size of Raleigh to be without a place, for first class amusements is rather out of the line of progress in this respect most of the cities and towns of the South are ahead of us. Can't some of our capi talists. start the ball in motion? It would seem to be a payiug invest ment if properly managed. X. Direct from Factory.

TL is ques tion presents itself to almost every one at this season of the year. Ibis often a little perplexing to know jutst what is best suited for those to whom a gift is intended. But with our enor mous store, packed from cellar to garret, with every conceivable kind of beautiful, as well as useful things, it renders the choice of a gift for any one little or no trouble. We have never made such preparations for holiday trade before, nor has our hoi iday business ever beon so good as this year. It is now, as has always been, the people appreciate ihe best goods and the lowest prices. W. H. & R. 8. Ttjckkr & Co. Seal Skin Cloaks are handsome wraps for cold weather. They are right costly but they would keep you warm. An $300 seal skin wrap looks real nice on a stylish look ing lady. We simply mention these facts as facts not because we have them for sale; we haven't got an $300 cloak in the house, but we have got the prettiest imitation plush sealskin cloaks you have seen; wo only have a few left, ranging in price from $15 to $25. We offer the entire line at $i :.:o to close the line. These are hand some cloaks and ave worth more than the prices mentioned. You need not hesitate to buy one for they are hand some and they look just as well as any $800 cloak you will see this sea son. We have an elegant line of wraps besides these, and we know our prices are unapproachable. We have just received 10 dozen mulfs to sell for 60o each. They are the best for the money you have seen. We have an elegant line of blankets for you. Phone 113. At Swindell's. Hardware, &c.
