Very dainty and graceful in design is tne cover oi ine uouoie new Year's Number of "The Youth's Com panion,' in is sliades of red and brown. Inside we find a new Serial Story, entitled "Kent Hampden," by that delightful writer, Rebecca Hard ing Davis, and in additon there are Five Short Stories, well illustrated, besides poems and articles of popular infoi uiation, to suit all tastes and ages. A notable article by Professor Shah r, of Harvard University, on the Earth, is the first in a series of articles " on Recent Discoveries in Science, to be written bythe most eminent living scientists. Reading such a number as this, it is easy to understand why "The Companion" has gained the largest circulation of any weekly paper in the world. All its stories appeal in the widest way to human sjmpathy, and are calcu late d to ideate not only yonng peo ole. but their! elders as well. That such a paper, so beautifully illustrat ed. aud written by the most eminent of liviDg authors, can be sold for $1.75 a year, is really marvellous. Journalistic. We had a cull today from C. E Yar boro, colored,, who formerly resided in Louisburg, but was educated at Shaw University and passed Jabout eight years in Raleigh. He is now the Editor and owner of the Southern Appeal, a democratic paper in Atlan ta, Ga., and is here endeavoring to work up a subscription among nis friends. The Appeal is highly en dorsed and is receiving substantial encouragement from the most influ ential colored people and others of Georgia and the South generally, We have no hesitation in bespeaking for him aid in the work in which he has embarked. The press of the Southern States, generally, give the paper complimentary notices. Poor Thing. Lilly W. Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough, who was the widow of Lewis C. Hammersley, a millionaire, will have to curtail her expenses in the future, as by reason of certain judgments obtained, which became annuities against her, she will have to make out on $99,000 a year. A Well Known Firm Wrecked Batenian & Co., stock brokers, at No. 57 Broadway, New York, made an "assignment yesterday. Railroad schemes is said to be their ruin. The onlv preferred creditors named in their assignment are Baldwin & Far Earlier Closing Again. We are glad to see our dry goods merchants taking proper steps in the control of their business hoars by closing up at seven o'clock in the evening. This is a simple act of jus tice to themselves and to their em ployees. The pity is that the gro eery men and the hardware men can't get up the courage to follow their noble example. We trust the good people of Raleigh will by the adjust ment of their shopping aid the mer chants in carrying out this early clos ing rule. It is better for everybody and we all soon will be used to it and it will work itself just as it does in other cities. But each one is so afraid that the other fellow will sell a cent's worth of crackers and cheese, that he might have sold, that he can't think of closing till the last lounger has gone. Walking the shore of the Chesa peake Bay one Sabbath afternoon in ante belhim days, we came across an old negro man a slave repairing 1 v a nr i v . a 1 4 nis Doac. e expostulated witn mm tor doing carpentering on Sunday. His reply was: "Boes, I'se got no other time to do it." These merchants feel that they are deprived of all relaxation from busi ness; they know that they are allow ing themselves to become slaves to their t usiness, and they are aware of the fact that their employees.if faith ful to them, must make their busi ness the one single aim, and there fore all his or her capacities and adaptations as social beings capable of cultivation, &c, must be suppress ed or neglected at all eyents; and yet he will say if I close up.that other fel low will get ahead of me. Well, now, gentlemen, be kind to yourselves; be kind to your families by early closing, ,hat yon may have some social enjoyment with your wife and .children and friends in the social circle, and give your employees an opportunity for the same. Don't be depriving a hundred or too young men and women who are employed as clerks, cashiers, &c, by unnecessa rily keeping open at night. If you have no clerk yourself some others have, an 1 if you keep open the oth ers will feel that they must do so too in self defense, and thus you are re sponsible for their privation and we may say their enslavement, for it is that practically. And then you are enslaving yourself. It is all unneces sary and really unprofitable. Agree together and close up with the dry goods men. A Widower's Grief and Joy. St. Louis Republic. r The late James B. Eads was pass ing up the Mississippi River one day and stopped at a backwoods store on the banks of the river, kept by an old German. The proprietor was at work chopping wood.but evidently in great grief. Tears rolled down his cheeks and he was sobbing as if his heart would break. His wife, he explained in broken dialect, was very ill. Mr. Eads consoled him as best he could and left. Returning six weeks later 1ia fminH t.hn nrRtwhile heartbroken Teuton as live and chipper as aequi rol. "How is your wife?" asked Mr. Eads. "Oh. she vas fine," answered the German with a broad smile. "Why, I thought she was very sick?" "i h. dot vas de odder vun,"replied the happy bridegroom, as he set up the drinks. W. H. & R.s7 Tucker & Co. Bargains and Undervalues. We are going through stock, picking out the short lengths from the various departments, and making remnant prices on all such stuff. In the lot can be found many high grade fabrics which can be bought for less than manufacturers cost.

While taking an inventory of the stock we have laid aside quite an as sortment of Gents', Ladies' and Chil dren's fine Shots which ve intend to clear out at prices that will make them go quick, we have reduced the price on blankets just in the height of tne season. Some Special Bar gains can be found in every depart ment. Call early and reap the ben efits. Norris' Dry Goods Stork. Some Rattling Good Baraiii.s Now. V We have some lines of goods which we bought too freely of in the early part of the season, and as it has al ways been our custom to unload any stock which we found ourselves over loaded with, we therefore bea-an on New Year's day to sell all cf these special lines of goods at greatly re duced prices. Our finer grades of dress goods and silks have all been reduced considerably. On all milli nery goods we are marking them down In ladies long cloaks we have reduced the price about one third. The foregoing is a true statement and you can rely on it. Why, we are selling our line of misses school hats at 40c that were 75c and $1 Also.an other lot ladies felt hats at 15c. Some of this lot are well worth $1. Some of these are slightly imperfect. A new lot of clothing in this day in men's suits and overcoats. Also, new dress goods in cheap and medium goods came in yesterday. Don't fail to do your trading at Swindell's. Germany is the classical land of suicides, and Saxony is its most sui cidal province. To every million of Saxons there are 400 suicides although the rest of the empire has an average of only 150-160 to the million. In Leipsic the ratio is the highest in the civilized world, 450 to the million, or fifty more than in Paris. In London the number per million is 85; in St. Petersburg, 160; in Berlin, 280; in Vienna, 285. In Prussia the number of suicides increased between 1850 and 1878 from 1,436 to 4.689. In France, fifty years ago, the annual number of suicides was 1,739. In 1878 it had in creased to 6,534, and in 1886 to 8,187. Of the suicides of 1888,1,380 were com mitted by men between 50 aud 60 years of age, and 924 by men between 40 and 50. HartlMnre, &c.
