A small boy the other day, while
the rain was falling and the gutters
were pretty well filled, went trudging
along wading, boy like, in tne water,
stepped into one of the many holes
dug along the lines of the street rail
way -and but for throwing out his
arms, would have been immersed if
not drowned. As he crawled out he
exclaimed to a gentleman passing:
'Look at me." Hurry up, gentie-.
men, and put your poles in those
holes so as to keep the boys out.

We would like to sell between now
and February 1st every fur cape, and
fur muff that we have.. If we do not
sell every single one by that time we
will not be surprised, but we do ex
pect to sell nearly every one, because
they have teen marked down to
wholesale cost, and most of them
greatly below cost. We haven't got
a big stock of ' either, but what we
have now will be offered cheap, and
very cheap at that.

Mass Meeting. j
At a meeting of the citizens of Ral- !
eigh held at Metropolitan Hall Janu
ary 22nd, the undersigned committee
was appointed to present to those .
. a .... 1
citizens who were not present, the !
outlook for holding at Raleigh an i
Exposition, representing the re
sources of the entire Booth. The Ex
position will be held under the
auspicesof the Southern Immigration
Bureau. This Bureau is now located
at Austin, Texas.
The first object to be attained.in or
W
to r.0Hi i s ,
dace the General Manager to remove
his headquarters to Raleigh.
The plan which this committee sub
mits, and which it heartily and
thoroughly endorses, is, that the citi
zens of Raleigh subscribe ten thous
and dollars, placing this amount In
the hands of five gentlemen, as Trus
teeswhom the meeting to be held
Monday night next will select.
'Ihese gentlemen agreeing to ac
cept the trust, and to disburse the
funds entrusted to their keeping, as
the progress of the Exposition may
warrant.
Your committee believes that this
proposition may secure the Bureau I
and the Exposition, provided the
amount indicated is tendered by the
27th of January. The benefit to be
derived by the State, County, and
City from such an Exposition, are so
obvious that it is not necessary here
to enlarge upon them.
The suggestion is, that the exhibit
be free to our citizens for ten months
in the year, with arrangements for
excursions to and from Raleigh, twice
a month, (oftener if necessary) from
all parts of the country, to enable im
migrants to see the products of our
section of the Union.
In the fall, a general Exposition
will be opened, to hold sixty days
the State Fair being held at the
usual time for admission to which
the regular charge will be made.
During this Exposition special daily
excursions will be run at very low
rates, and it will be safe to say that
an Exposition on such a scale will
bring to Raleigh, during October and
.November, 100,000 visitors, an aver
age expenditure of five dollars each
while here, would leave in Raleigh
half million dollars which would
quicken the pulse of trade, benefit j
every profession, every manufactu
rer, and add materially to the pros
perity of every citizen.
Under the plan proposed we have
much to gain and little to lose. Such
an opportunity comes but once in a
life time, and we earnestly appeal to
every citizen of Raleigh to come to
a mass meeting to be held at Metro
politan Hall, Monday, Jan. 26th, at 8
o'clock p. m., and aid in securing this
great prize, which will redound to
the benefit, not only of the people of
Raleigh, but to the whole State.

Not a seat wa9 vacant ai"l not o.ie ! !

the other looked on and ;.t the men
with an exprereiou of intulectual
curiosity, not unmixed with p.-oru.
"Yuo'll see Wall stiect runuing

"Will we have to stand till the wny

evident guest irrelevantly, in Boft,
clear tones, atid unmistakable South

"No, not all the way," replied the
New York girl, and then chaperoning
her sex instead of her section, she
added sotto voice, "kouic cf these
brutes will have to get out bi fore
Rector street they'll have to give us
a seat whether they want to or not."'
"No, I don't think they will," said
the Southerner in the fame soft,
audible tone, and casting a medita
tive look about her. "I think by
their looks thev'll stav aboard and
lose money to keep us out of one."
j A gentleman sitting on one of the
cross seats with his back to them,
now rose with an amused expression,
saying:
"No, no, we're not so bad as that,"
and surrendered his seat, whereupon
his vis-a vis succumbed ruefully to
moral suasion and gave up his. V hen
the girls, with smiling thanks, were
seated, the Southerner winked mer

THE GREAT REDUCTION
OF OUR
JANUARY
has made many of our departments
iainy glow viui bargains. We do
not cotsider 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
-A-P-S I
We have not postponed making
t hese low prices until the warmth of
s pring 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
ANHUAL : 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
fancy departments.
