HEWS NOTES ABOUT THE CITY.
What Our Reporters See and
Hear Worth Giving to Our
Headers News in Brief.
Did yon get a valentine T
The street scraper is getting in
eome good work today.
The County Commissioners were in
session today.
The Register of -Deeds issued four
marriage license this morning.
The Madam Arne Company is book
ed for the 18th and 19th of February.
It pays to advektisb ih theVisi
tor. ouk customers say so.
, Spring Poems will soon be sprout
ing. Johnnie load your gun.
Be sure that you find jocrself in
church tomorrow.
Business is exceptionally good con
sidering the condition of the roads.
The Durham Cornet Band passed
through the city last night on their
way home, returning from Wake
Forest
You would be surprised to see the
quantity of eggs, chickens, beef. &c,
consumed in the Tarboro House daily.
It would supply a small family six
months.
Gentlemen don't forget the streets
around the capitol. The Legislators
will soon be going home and they
will have to stand as they are for an
other two years; better be moving in
the matter.
Both Houses of the General As
sembly seem determined to keep up
with their calendars as near as pos
Bible. Looking to this end, the Senate
has agreed to meet every other day
at 10 a. m., and adjourn at 2 p. in.
Lots of folks are anxious to serve
the State in the role of Railroad? J"m
miBsioners. There is no lack of pecu
liar fitness" in North Carolina, for
any office however high and respon
sible. An entertainment of a most enjoy
able character will be given, compli
mentary"to the members of the Gen
eral Assembly, next Monday evening
at Peace Institute.
How' about the remodelling of the
market house. Something ouht to
be done. It is a disgrace to the city
to stand in this way on the main
street of the city where every stranger
that comes here can both see and
smell it.
What is it? In our perambulations
over the city in search of items, we
noticed the elm trees on New Berne
Avenue, in front of Christ Church,
.have a singular growth upon them,
hi patches of a fern-like appearance.
We have not seen it on any other
trees in other parts of the city.
At the request of many, Rev. Dr.
Hall's lecture on London was post
poned until Thursday night next,
when it will be given in the Taber
nacle. It will be a rare treat, and
. ought to have a full house. Said a per
son who heard it. "I learned more
from it about that wonderful city
than 1 did from a fortnight's visit
there."
How about the opening up or ex
tension of west Morgan street. The
Commitee has been appointed, and
the Railroad is ready to build the
bridge, so there is really nothing in
the way of the extension of west Mor
gan street, but the lethargy of the
committee? Is that too rough gen
tlemen ? Never mind, so you extend
the street.
Charles E. Johnson, son of our es
teemed fellow citizen, J. J. Johnson,
EtctM a Btudent at the Business CoN
lege, Lexington, Ky., in a spelling
contest with three hundred and fifty
other students in the college, bore off
! ; the prize of a fine silver mounted
walking cane. So it is; wherever a
j .; son of the Old Tar Heel State "turns
'' up" he "gets on top." We congratu
U late the young man, as well as Mb pa
rents in Raleigh.
Rev. Dr. J.J. Hall, D. D., will'
preach morning and night at the Tab
ernacle tomorrow.
Mr. M. E. Teague, sheriff of For
syth county brought in three con
victs to the penitentiary this morn
ing. The galleries in the House to day
were niiea witu young ladies irom
Peace Institute. A member his
morning had to call on the Speaker
three times to get a bearing. Well,
the Speaker likeB to look upas wellas
the rest of the House.
Dr. Potter, one of the Missionary
Secretaries of the M. E. Church,
South, will preach at Edenton street
Methodist Church tomorrow at 11
o'clock, and at Central Church at
night. Dr, Potter is a very strong
preacher. The public will do well to
hear him.
Col. Thos. B. Keogh, one of the en
ergetic commissioners of the Colum
bian Exposition is in the city. Col
Keogh is here for the purpose of aid
inc to all extent, in his power, the
proposition to make a liberal appro
priation on the part of North Caro
lina to the great show. As the force
bill has been consigned to the "tomb
of the Capulets." Perhaps our legiB
lature will not allow North Carolina
to go unrepresented.
It is a Pity.
It is a great pity that Raleigh can't
have a Y. M. C. A. The very idea of
the capital of the State with about
20,000 population, and all the ad van
tages that could be asked for, and no
association, it is shameful. We should
have a working membership of 250
and a building of our own, with neat
and comfortable reading and recep
tion rooms. We can have it if we
only go to work and work as if life
depended upon it. No half way busi
ness will do. What say you gentle
men? Shall we come together and
start the ball to rolling, or shall we
sit still indifferent to everything ex
cept the mighty dollar. It will never
do for Raleigh to go on like this. We
should be the leaders in everything
of this kind in North Carolina. There
is plenty of talent and money in Ral
eigh, and if we only go about it in
earnest, with vioi and plenty of get
up and get about us wecan have
tho finest Y. M. C. A. in North Caro
lina. Lets try. Call a meeting and
see what we can do.
Legislative Notes.
Senator Turner has returned from
a trip to his home in Iredell county.
The Visitation Committee of the
General assembly have returned from
Chapel Hill, much pleased with the
tour of inspection. They found eve
rything in first class order in all re
spects, with the exception of some re
pairs needed for the buildings. This
will doubtless be remedied by a small
extra appropriation.
Senator Williams has been com
pelled to go home on a short respite.
He is suffering considerably from neu
ralgia. The interest bill, of which he
is the author, will be the special or
der next Wednesday at 12 o'clock.
Senator Ardrey yesterday obtained
leave of absence for a week to take
much needed rest. For indomitable
zeal and industry, he has no superior
in the Senate.
The revenue bill is fast being con
sidered by the Finance 'Committee,
and there Is a probability that it will
be reported during the coming week.
We are pleased to note that the
health of Senators Courts has much
improved, and he will no doubt be
able to promptly occupy his seat du
ring the remainder of the session.
W. B. Mann & Co., received today

Laos Curtains We have found
that we are able to offer another big
trade in curtains; this time however
it will be lace curtains, just like the
cheneille curtains. We have selected
all the odd pairs of lace curtains, and
put the prices way below what they
are worth, marked them in plain
figures, and placed them upon tables
near front door. If you are thinking
of buying any kind of curtains, do
not purchase until you see this lot,
because in it, you will find them at
prices lower than you think.
W. H. & R. S. Tucker & Co.
Norris' Dry Goods Store.
For this inclement weather we offer
bargains in gents, ladies, misses and
children's rubbers, all styles and sizes.
Gossamers in Raglans, Peasants and
Circulars. Specialities in ladies Don
gola shoes, in button and lace, opera
and common sense. The ' Pearl" $3
gent's shoe is the best on earth. Fall
stock youths, boys, misses and chil
drens, school shoes always on hand.
It has been our aim, is now, and al
ways will be, to Bell the best shoes
sold in this market for the price and
we do it.
Norris' Dry Goods Store.
Are we Getting to the Front ?
Yes, we think we are getting to the
front, not only because our business
is growing day by day, but because
we are becoming a mark for coward
ly enemleB who try in every secret
manner to injure our business. The
fact of having these envious people
lerking around in the dark is the Star
of Bethlehem of any man's success
If you are not hurting any one by
competition they will not bother you.
If you throw a stone at a lot of dogs
and hear one yelp be sure you hit
one, he don't hollow for fun. Now,
we hear some things every day that
reminds us forcibly of Cain and Able.
When we offer a shirt for OOcts that
our brother merchant cannot sell
for less than one dollar, and
when we offer dress goods for little
over half what other merchants ask;
when we offer men's sox at 8 cents,
which cannot be offered for less than
10 by others; when we offer carpets at
60, 65 and 25 cents that no other mer
chant has at same price; is it not
enough to create envy?
Your humble servant,
D. T. Swindell.
Next to making a mistake yourself
the easiest thing is to criticise the
mistakes of other people.
