etifttn VOL. SDAT, 0".TCTR-3r2Q, 1891. iTO. lOl HEWS NOTES ABODT THE CITY. "What Our Reporters See and Hear Worth Giving to Our Readers News in Brier. See notice of sale of household fur niture by A. W. Shaffer. Interesting services are being held at the Wilmington street mission every night. Public 'cordially in vited. A special meeting of Phalanx Lodge No 84,tonight for tbe pnrpose of con ferring ranks. We hear that a large party of young Indies and gentlemen from this city have in contemplation making the trip to New Orleans on the occasion of Mardi Gras. The attendance in the Senate and House still continues rather slim. Many members are indisposed, and nearly every day leaves of absence are asked for on account of sickness. Numbers of members of the legisla ture visit the Agricultural and Me chanical College every fair afternoon. President Holladay very kindly fur nishes a carriage for the purpose. we learn tnat tnere are now but few cases of measles in the city and these of a mild type. Raleigh is about as healthy as usual. It ranks in this respect with the most favored communities of the country. A bill is now pending in the gener al assembly to more clearly define what constitutes embezzlement. The object of the law is to cover cases against clerks of the (Superior Courts and others which now seem to be inefficient. Owing to another entertainment in Raleigh tomorrow night the invita tion of Rev. Bennett Smedes to mem bers of the legislature to attend a re ception at St. Mary's, has been alter ed to Friday evening, Feb. 6th, at 8 o'clock. It is hoped that the new electric railway system will be in full opera tion before the legislature adjourns If good weather prevails to any con' siderable extent the work can be done in time. We hate to see our repre sentatives leave us before taking a ride. It will have a bad impression. A considerable number of railroad men from a distance are in the city. They come no doubt for the double purpose of lookiDg on the General Ass .oly, and to be on the ground ipase anything of iuterest to their 'respective corporations comes up. We hear that contracts are made for much building in the city during the coming spring. This looks well. There never has been a time when houses of moderate size and reason able rent were more in demand. Tht such investments will pay tbejp.can be no doubt. A prominent merchant said yester day that in all probability the re ceipts of cotton in Raleigh this season would reach 45,000 bales. This is 8 omewhat in excess of the prediction made in the early part of the season, and is indeed most gratifying intelli gence. If we can succeed in having another favorable crop this year we hope to get back to the good old times of a few years back when over 60,000 bales were handled here. New Post Offices South. Post Master General Wanamaker states that during the past year, 5, 600 new post offices were established in the United States, of which fully one half are credited to the South. This shows tnat the boom is on in the South. Sheriffs Settling ' The following sheriffs settled with the State Treasury today: G. W. Long, Richmond, $5,784.17. W. F.Knieht,Edgecombe, $2,880.43. W.

Muster Claude Denson, one of the popular pages of the Senate, has b?en confined to his home for the past few da.) s with sickness. Dr. W. J. Courts, the Senator from Rockingham, has been compelled to obtain indefinite leave of absence. His physician thinks his attendance will seriously injure his health. Mr. Jno. Ferree a prominent cotton factory man from the Western part of the State, is in the city. Mr. H. E. Fries, of Salem, N. C, is in the city, looking in on the Legisla ture. Mr. A. H.

We still have some cf those wraps we mean the lot taken from the regular stock worth from $10 to $25, and now marked from $5 to $9. At the bargain and under value counter we have a lotjof trade samples and short lengths of carpets and mattings. These are marked very low. Profit was not thought of when we priced them. W. H. & R. S. Tucker & Co. Fine lot bacon hog round just from the pickle fresh from the country at W.B. Mann& Go's. Exposition Meeting. A meeting was held last night at Metropolitan Hall for the purpose of hearing the report of the Canvassing Committee and notwithstanding the rain, quite a number were out. We write in this information giving way however because it would seem that that very many had forgotten the meeting or never knew it, we cant say which. It was reported that Major R. S. Tucker the Chairman of the meeting of which this was an ad journed meeting, was unavoidably prevented from attending; the same statement was made in reference to Mayor Thompson. Mr. W. S Prim rose was called to the chair and Mr. Holdingthe chairman of theSoliciting Committee made a very full and de tailed report showing that $0,000 had been secured, that there were several corporations,companies and firms yet to hear from, prominently among them the Railroads. Mr. Primrose stated that the railroad people gave committee such a considerate hearing as business men would be expected to give to a business proposition, promising to lay the matter before their co-offlcials as far as practicable within the limited time and report the result. He thought they would see the business advantages to them, or that they already see it and would bear their share of the burden in securing the Bureau and the Exposi tion to Raleigh. Mr. Holding made a ringing speech in which he stated that the whole proposition has no featui e of donation or charity whatever, but that it ia a business investment. That every business man who subscribes will, if the Exposition is secured, realize financial advantage to the extent of ten to twenty fold. Jno. O. Kelly who was in the audi ence made a ringing speech in which he administered some deservedly caustic reproof for the indifference in the matter manifested by some of our people. He subscribed $30 for him self and $5 for J. T. Hamlin, and in his speech referred to W.H. Matthews who had promised to be present, but he was sorry to find that he too had allowed other things to keep him away. Just then a voice from the gal ery began an apology for his absence, which was Matthews himself who sub scribed $25. Kelly, Hamlin and Mat thews were added to the committee to solicit funds, who were continued till the railroads and others can be heard from. The meeting adjourned subject to the call of the regular chairman Maj. R. S. Tucker. An Opera House. The need of a new and well arrang ed opera house for Raleigh is serious ly felt and we hope the matter will not be much longer neglected. The people generally will have amuse ments, and, such being the case Ral eigh should not be behind other cit ies in the way of a first class building for the purpose. In this connection we note that Mr. W. B. Baum, of Norfolk, Va., is here looking around with reference to the scheme. If he can arouse our people up to the point of action in the premises, he will do much towards putting us on a level of progressive communities. Salvini. Tonight the great dramatic event of the season will take place. "Don Caesar de Bazan," one Of the most popular and best plays on the stage will be presented by the great actor "Salvini," who has been engaged re gardless of cast. Wherever he has appeared he has been greeted with tremendous and appreciative audien ces. As an actor of genuine merit he has but few equals and the people of Raleigh have an opportunity tonight rarely offered. Remember that no extra prices are charged, but the management has secured this rich dra matic treat at the ordinary scale of prices. Get your seats reserved at MacRae's drug store.

There is so much lying and misrep resentation in advertisements that people look with suspicion upon any advertisement they see. Now this ly ing is only done by people who have not sense enough to realize the fact that it don't pay to misrepresent any thing they hae for sale. They do not comprehend the importance of an advertisement. No I ve merchant in his right mind will advertise any thing he cannot do. You take the live wide-a wake merchants of this day and you may swear by their ad vertisements they have go d snse and if they were inclined to tool you in an advertisement they have sense enough to know it would not pay. and if for no other reason they would not break faith with you. There are a great many people who read inv advertisements and pronounce it all a lie without even trying to find out. Now such people must think I am of unsound mind or they have very lit tle practical sense themselves. I would just as soon attempt to make you believe you were dead and buried, asl would tell you in an advertisement that I had something, and then have gone and found I did not have it. I expect my advertisements to build up my business and not to break it up. When I advertise a thing you may stake your life it as true as holy writ. See those 50c corsets, 60c white shirts, 6c felt hats for ladies. D. T. Swindell. Gain of Christian Churches. Public Opinion.
