A telegram was received here this

Dunn, of Wake county) was shot in
East Tennessee yesterday and. died
this morning. Particulars not given.
. The receipts of cotton today were
unusually large and prices ruled sat
isfactory. Wilmington street about
noon today presented the appearance
of a young edition of Broadway so
great was the crowd surging to and
fro.
All men are most cordially invited
to attend the young men's prayer
meeting, which will I e held at 7:30
tonight in the rear basement of Eden
ton Street M, E. Church. A fall at
tendance of the male members of the

Attention is called to the advertise'

ing to the public all the delicacies of
the season, and their announcement
today of luscious fruits is enough to
make the mouth water. Call and ex

Everybody has, at least, some in
fluence, and it should be exerted to
the utmost in endeavoring to secure
for Raleigh the Southern Immigra
tion Bureau. Remember that an
other meeting of citizens is called for
Monday night next to consider the
matter. Let" everybody attend and
make it a grand success.
The bill presented in the Senate
yesterday to form a new county to, be
called "Badger," will put us all to
thinking a little It proposes to form
the new county out of portions of
Wake, Franklin and Granville. We
love and honor the name of Geo. E.
Badger and would do anything
reabonable to preserve nls memory.
but we think Wake has suffered
enough in the way of cutting off its
territory.
Who can say that the climate of
North Carolina is not the equal if not
the superior of any in the world. In
many sections of the North and South
Wes, the ground is covered with
snow to the depth of several feet. Iu
portions of Europe the cold is more
intense than known for the last half
century, while in the Old North State,
we are having what may be termed
delightful weather, such as usually
falls to our Jot in autumn, jMortn Car
olina, and - Raleigh in particular,
against the worm. .

and wejcan only hope that the choice
will fall npon some gentleman who
win give general sausiacuon.

A Great Dramatic Treat.
Our people should not overlook the
great dramatic treat in store for them

rarely that Raleigh has an opportq
nity of witnessing the rendition of
one of Shakespeare plays, but to
night Miss Alberta Gallatin will ap

Fine Pianos.
Mr. Win. 0. Burgess, of Wegman &
Co., piano manufacturers, was in the
city today, and Mr. C. G. Stoue,man
ager of North State Music Co., gave
him an order for fifteen pianos. These
are made in the most artistic style in
Rosewood, Circasian, Walnut, fancy
Mahogany and English' Quartered
Oak. TneBe pianos have a patented
tuning pin fastening and are
guaranteed to stand in tune longer
than any other. The North State
Music Co. seem to be doing an exten
sive business, and we are certain they
handle nothing but the best. We
wish them increased success for 1891,
and know they deserve it.
The Henry W Grady Cigar
is the moBt popular.brand ever sold in
Raleigh. A new lot has just been re
ceived at J. Hal. Bobbitt's. Strictly

The remains arrived on the 1:30
train and were taken in charge by a
committee of the Raleigh Typo
graphical Union, No. 54, and interred
at the old family burying ground in
Wake County, about five miles south
from the city.
Mass Meeting.
There was a large attendance at
the mass meeting of citizens at Metro
politan Hall last night called for the
purpose of considering the matter of
securing the Southern Immigration
Bureau aud Exposition for Raleigh.
Maj. R. S. Tucker was chosen chair
man and members of the press pres

The object of the meeting was ex
plained by Mr. John T. Patrick. Mr

marks concerning the Immigration
Association and its work. Mr. Chil

a willingness to have it located in
Raleigh. Mr. Patrick said that for
the sum of $10,000 the bureau could
be secured for this city. Mr. Holding

North Carolina Protecting her
Oysters.
The Baltimore Herald says the
dredge boats of Baltimore which left
here some months ago for the oyster
beds of Pamplico Sound and other
rivers of iSorth Carolina are having
a harder time with the state author
ities than they ever did with Com
mander Seth's navy. The North
Carolina authorities allow tonging
but no dredging, and have every
means to punish offenders. These
latter the Marylanders have discov
ered to their sorrow. The schooner
Martha Jones, Capt. Herman Wal
ters, came up after a futile effort to
dredge down there. . Capt. Walters
says that the waters where the oys
ters are are guarded as closely as a
bank, and there is no getting them
except by tonging. Several boats
belong to John Kraeger, and are ex
pected back in a few days from the
same section.
Those White Shirts are With
You.
On yesterday we told you that some
of the sizes of those white laundried
shirts at 60o were out; but not so. On
looking them through we found all
sizes, and this morning we have been
busy filling orders for 15 and 15i to
people who came for those sizes yes
terday and could not get them. All
admit that these white laundried
shirts at 60c is a grand thing. Men's
sizes 60c; boys' sizes 50c.
A beautiful lot of men's silk beaver
hats in this morning at $2.75. Aleo a
fine line of nice overcoats.
Now for the carpets. We have in
stock now a dandy lot of all wool in
grain carpets at prices unheard of be
fore. If you need a carpet, and you
see these carpets you will buy a car
pet of us. All kind of millinery goods
are being offered at about wholesale

THE GREAT REDACTION
OF OUR
JANUARY SALE
has made many of our departments
fairly glow with bargains. We .do
not consider profits when we are mak
ing such reductions in prices as we
are this month, but there are times
when we consider it better to sell a
line of goods rather than carry them
over.
Nothing has yet equalled our un- '
surpassed offerings in
We have not postponed making
these low prices until the warmth of
spring Is upon us, but are giving our
patrons the benefit of these unheard
of reductions right in mid winter
when such goods are of most use.
Only two weeks now remain before
we take our '
G
ANNUAL : INVENTORY
and during this time we intend dis
posing of many lines of winter goods,
and the opportunity is offered to
gether wonderful bargains from our
fancydepartments. ,
