' What Our Reporters See and Hear Worth Giving to Our - Readers News in Brief. The market was well supplied ibis niorniDg. The two newDodd cottage oo West - Morgan street, are about completed. They are beauties. Hillsboro street is in a fearful con dition.almost impassable in parts. O, for some way out of the mud. The new Register of Deeds has re appointed Messrs. Goodwin and Rid dick. The post office has been diaped in memory of Secietary.of the Treasury - Windom, who died suddenly night before last. The receipts of cotton in this city up to date are 81,553 bales against 17,687 last season. This is a splendid gain. The North Carolina Teacher for January is an attractive issue, credit able alike to its projectors and the in terest it specially represents. The weather is another little check to the progress of the street railway, but with energy and push the work will be done in good time. A new paper entitled the Farmers Advocate, with James 6. Lloyd as editor, will soon be started at Tarboro. It will be in the interest of the Farm ers' Alliance. The general demand is ior a belt line of railway around the city. We hope the Electric Railway Company will give the matter a careful consid" eration. There is much in it, both for the company and the public. Another head cracked at the post office this morning. They are heavy doors, very opakn, and the springs are strong, you better watch out or the other fellow will let the door hit you. They are dangerous. A proposition is before the General Assembly to make a new county out of C hatham.by taking slices of Albright, Matthews and Bear Creek townships. The name of the proposed new coun ty is Burgwyn. A couple applied for license this morning and while the clerk was making the necessary inquiries.a tele gram was received from the girl? mother forbidding the license The girl was only 16 years old. Everybody knows how to run a newspaper, except the editor. Every body knows how to farm, except the -' farmer. And everybody knows exactly what is the duty of the legislator, ex cept the unfortunate man who is fleeted This is a queer old world, anyhow. Another Sad Case In Durham last Thursday another case of child burning took place, and it is the same, old story. A colored cook named Fannie Haskins, left her house, with several small children in it, and a fire burning on the hearth. She heard screams, and returning to the house, she found her little five year old child in flames. Medical aid ' was called in, but too late, the little one died. The same old story of neg lige nee. I;- All Quiet. The Governor is in possession of information to the effect that all is quiet in the oyster section of North Carolina, and that no "pirates" or un lawful combinations are in existence in that quarter. This is due to the ( prompt action of the Governor in ta ' king steps to enforce the fish and oys 0ter law as passed by the present Gen- eral Assembly.' ''An ounce of pre ' vention is worth a pound of cure" is ! the proverb upon which the Govern or acted, and it worked like a charm. If you were to take the conceit out of some people 1 the; remains would defy identification. He-bridging a Nose. A surgeon at Decatur, 111., has just coinplrted a novel surgical operation. He removed part of four ribs of a cat and inserted them in the nose of a young lady, formlDg a perfect bridge for the nose. The bODeshad decayed and were removed. This is said to be the first operation of the kind known in the annals of surgery. Personal Mention. Col. Thos. B. Keogh. who has been in the city for several days, has re turned to his home in Greensboro. Capt. J. 8. LOckhart, of Durham, is in the city. J. F. Slaughter, cashier of the Fidelity Bank of Durham, is in the city taking in the sights, Legislature, &c. Mr. Albert Kramer is in the city from Durham. Mr. J. A. Thomas, of the Louisburg Times, is in the city. Mr. D. T. Swindell left yesterday for Washington, N. C, on business. Mrs. Henry Gardner, of Reidsville, N.- O., is in the city visiting Mrs. John Robinson. Mr. H. B. Hunter, of Warran, is in the city.. We were glad to meet our old friend John Graham, of the .Ridgeway school, in Warren county. Maj. Flemming from near Ridge way, N. C, was in the city today. Mr. Walter Boyd, one of Warren- ton's enterprising tobacco men was in the city today. " Mr.J.H. Lawrence.who for some time past has been connected with the North Carolina Department of Agri culture has accepted a position with the Seaboard Air Line, in this city. A Bundle of Its. If life . were not really such a very serious business there would be no funny papers. If politicians were not what they are politics would be different. And also: If the public were ' only the ideal public for whom the Constitution was written, "practial politicians" would be at a discouut. If all the heathen were suddenly to become converted, where would the man with a mission be? If all the successful men of today were great men what a heritage this century would have. If marriages., are made in Heaven are the divorces but no. Some one will say Chicago If matrimony, did not involve in- creased rent and expenses, loe would last longer than it is ordinarily sup posed to do. If all our millionaires were in the true sense of the word honest, we could count them off on one hand. If all men married their first loves the demand for lunatic asylums would be appalling. If you have brains and no money, pat yourself heartily on the back day and night. It is all the recognition yon will get in this world. If a. man always followed the ad vice of. his best friends he would have no friends at all, for he would soon lose every dollar. The Charleston News and Courier, one of the most influential papers in the South, characterizes the action of certain Southern Legislatures with reference to the force bill and World's Fair as ' being unwise and illtimed. The News and Courier has always been a faithful and discreet counselor to the Southern people, and in this instance it has made no mistake. Baltimore Herald. " When a man dies in the Society Is lands they paint his body; but in this country his character is the thing that is frescoed. You sometimes see people' too old to read, and ton old to write, but did any one ever see a man too old to count money f . .. Church Services Tomorrow. TABERNACLE BAPTfST CHURCH Rev. Dr. J. J.

A Big Combine. Exchange. The biggest federation of labor or ganizations ever known in this coun try was practically agreed upon in Washington last Thursday when com mittees representing the National Farmers' Alliance, the Colored Farm ers' Alliance, the Knight of Labor and the Citizens' Alliance met and agreed to form a close confederation for both offence and defence. Word has been received from the Grange, the Farmers' Mutual Benefit Associa tion and the Northwestern Alliance that they are in full sympathy with the movement and can be counted in. The 8t. Louis platform of the Farm ers' Alliance will be the basis of the federation. - Fishes Fall From Heaven. Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 26. A singular phenomenon was observed in connection with a heavy fall of snow which occurred in . this city. Large quantities of small fishes came down with the snow, and in many localities the ground was literally covered with them. The largest were nearly two inches in length. As such a downpour from the heavens has heretofore been unheard of, it has created much comment. Overcome by Coal Gas. Nkw York, Jan. 28. At an early hour this morning Police Officer Michael Loder, his wife, son and daughter and Charles 8chroeder, residing at Tenth avenue and One Hundred and Sixty fifth street, were found unconscious in their rooms, having been overcome by coal gas that escaped from the stove. This stove had been placed in the rooms underneath' their anartmentsto dry out a newiy piasterea room, medical aid was at once summoned. ; Mrs. Lo ber is in a dangerous condition, as is also Mr. Schroeder.

We have got just the thing you want, dancing shoes, they are the nicest that you have seen in this town. We have one with patent leather vamps, and the quarters of black undressed kid. Another pretty dancing shoe, is the bright Dongola Oxford, also stainless black half hose, either silk or cotton. W. H. & R. ST ucker & Co. Harry Liudley Troupe. The famous . comedian, Harry Lindley, will appear here next week with quite a new series of plays, and with his choice and chaste language of way back will make you laugh and grm fat. , Remember, everything will be quite new. Yes, as I stated above, he will be here next week, for he has telegraph ed to us by that quick' and courteous line the Postal to save him 1 dozen of those 60c shirts, same as those he saw a couple of drummers have on in the cars a few days ago, for they only paid 60c, worth a dollar. We once more issue the invitation come and get one of these shirts be fore it is too late, thereby saving 40c for which you can purchase two tick ets to see and hear the greatest com edians that it has ever been your good pleasure to hear. These shirts you will find in all sizes and styles at D. T. Swindell's 18 and 20 East Martin street. An exchange says "an electric lamp on the Isle of Wight can be seen 45 miles, and a paper can be read by its reflection 14 miles. It gives 6,000,000 candle power."' Whooee. Aint that a whopper ? . It is stated that New York specula tors and bankers are against the free coinage of silver. Of course they are. Free silver means more money and a lower rate of interest. A movement is on foct to organize a Drug Trust; if it takes its own med icine, it will be a very sick creature and nothing short of the united eff orts of the doctors can save it. Mr. McMillan has introduced a bill to provide for a State Board of Man agers for the World's Fair. The thing is very nearly managed to death now, and if they keep on adding to the management they will about secure a grand failure. Word comes from Cuba that great crevices are -forming through the Island and that fears are entertained that it will break in two and sink. Possibly the weight of Spanish Tex as has broken its back and it may hot be able much longer to float. Hardware, c Matchless AIR JfcXFIES The neates. best Air Rifle mads.
