The annual meeting of the North
Carolina Car Company yesterday.
The officers for last year were re-elected
as follows: Mr. Julius Lewis, Presi
dent; Mr. Jno. Ward, Secretary and
Treasurer: Mr. W. E. Ashley, Super
intendent. This is one of Raleigh's
prosperous institutions, and one that
is accomplishing much good in furn
ishing profitable employment to a
large number of persons
Scarcely one person . in ten thou
sand betters himself permanently by
leaving his rural home and settling
in a city. To most such, a change
means an increase in anxieties in the
uncertainties of livelihood, in the
nature and hours of labor, and in the
hardships and wearing burdens of
existence. Life may have less color in
the country, but it has more calm,
less bustle and excitement, but more
depth and true satisfaction, less bril
liant rewards for, the few, but more
lasting happiness for the many.

taken care of.

Credit to"aTlaTBi3;h Boy.
We take great pleasure in giving
one of our Raleigh boys credit for his
sterling integrity in working his way
up in a large firm from business man
ager to one cf the company. Mr. Wil
lie McDonald who is well known by
our citizens, ban been engaged with
Messrs. Heath, Springs &G'o., at Ker
sha w, S. C, and has so deported him
self as to gain the approbation of
the firm that he tow becomes a part
ner.We congratulate Mr.McDonald as
a Raleigh boy and a North Carolinian
in being so fortunate as to be asso
ciated as a member of the firm of H.
S. &Co.
The Govci-nor's Guard.
The Governor's Guard were out
yesterday on dress parade, and ac
quitted themselves quite handsomely.
They formed at their barracks on
Payettville street and marched up to
the Capital park where they went
through dress parade and inspection
drill in a very creditable style. This
is a splendid young company cf
splended young men. They marched
from the capital up to St. Mary's
School, where they were on their
metal before the girls, as the girls are
the very best of judges of good look
ing soldiers. The young ladies enjoyed
the parade very much, and delighted
the youDg gentlemen almost to ex
static delireum with their unspoken
compliments.
Charitable Charity.
There is a vast deal of charity shown
in the world that is useful it is true
Cut that hasn't a bit of charity in it,
but in the City of New York there is
a ru uch greated amount of real charity
than is supposed. A great many of
the wealthy of that cfty quietly dis
pense a stipulated sum each year to
what they believe to be real needy
cases. They do this without letting
It be known generally so as to be un
tramiled in bestowing it. They watch
the neewspapers and keep their ears
open for information about real wor
thy objects. There is much more of
that sort of aid to the needy in Ral
eigh and all over the South than
many are disposed to believe.
Not long since we saw a person
shake hands with another who we
know to be a worthy object of real
benevolence, and while the act was
very adepitly done, we saw that there
was a piece of something left in the
hand. We confess it made us think
more of the party, though we had re
garded him kindly before. It is our
duty to help those who are less fortu
nate than ourselves and there are a
larger number that recognize this ob
ligation than we sometimes suppose.
