' All men are cordially invited to at tend the young mens prayer meeting tonight at 7:30 o'clock in the Bible class rooms of Edenton Street M. E. Church. The weather continues gloomy and - wet. The streets of Raleigh are in many places almost impassable. How we wish for Belgian blocks well laid down on all the streets in the city. When shall we see that happy day ? We are glad to see that the city authorities havi just put down good crossing at the corner of Morgan and Harrington streets; the need which the Visitor called attention a few days ago. This was a much needed improvement and in the name of the people in that section we thank you gentlemen continue the good work. Some important negotiations are pending; looking to thatransfer of valuable real estate on me western suburbs of the city which will prove . of advantage to the people of Raleigh no less than to those immediately connected.

The entertainment at the Institu tion for the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind last night was a very enjoyable occasion indeed. The music was fine as was also the 'addresses and recita tions, but the exhibitions by the mutes and the blind were very strik ing, and shows to what wonderful extent we may be taught to use one organ or faculty to sr.pply the place and office- of another. Mr. Young and his corps of teachers are doing a noble work, and doing it well. Will There be a "Wet" or "Dry" Vote in Raleigh This Year? This is the off year in "Which the privilege is granted Townships or Counties to vote on the question of "License" or no "License," and several times lately we have been asked if Raleigh would try it again. Of course it is understood that one fourth of the qualified voters of the township must ask for it. The new registration last fall, re duced the number required from the fifteen hundred demanded two years ago, and for this reason several of the prohibition leaders are inclined to enter upon the fight, bat others are not satisfied with the success of pro hibition when we did have it and are averse. to the undertaking this year. It is quite likely that a council on the subject will be held at an early day. Over and. Under East River.
