The Raleigh Paper Mills will shut
down on tl 20th and will remain so
for a month for the purpose of re
pairs, putting in new machinery
and increasing the capacity of the
Mills generally. This enterprising
company have not been able for some
time to keep up with orders and we
are glad to see them taking steps to
keep up with their increasing bust
ness. They will add pulp making
machinery which is the right thing
to do.
Raleigh needs a new station house
and needs it badly, and must have
one. The miserable thing now used for
one is nothing more than a hole in
t.h around. It won't fill the bill, it
would answer for the Raleigh of thir
t.v vram ae-o. but the Kaleitjh of to
"J J o - '
dav needs and demands something
better.
SninethiiiGr was said two or three
years ago about building one, but it
was like t ome other things started, it
went up in smoke.
Raleigh has been blessed with a
good board of Aldt-rinen for the last
two or three years, good, solid busi
ness men, and it does seem that they
could provide a better place than the
one now in use. Gentlemen, for the
sake of the poor unfortunate creat
ures incarcerated therein, to say noth
ing of the pride of the capital city of
the "Old North State,'' give us a new
station house.
Died.

Hospital, this morning of typhoid fe
ver. Miss Telfair waB the daughter
of Alex F. Telfair, who was one of the

What is the matter with the U. 8.
mail between Raleigh and Hender
son? A party residing in Raleigh
complains that out of five letters ad
dressed to pereons in Henderson, and
put in the post office at Raleigh, in
the last two months, only two have
ever been received by the pirfon to
whom they were addressed.
A similar complaint is mude about
the service bftweeu this city and
Warrenton by a lady. Something
must be vroiig somewhere. The evil
should be looked after and removed
at once.
Reasons Why You Should Ad
vertise in the VISITOR.
1st. It's an old established paper.
2nd. It has the largest city circula
tion of any paper in Raleigh.
8rd. It gets there with both feet,
and by a big majority.
4th. Because it is here to stay.
6th. It is for the upbuilding of Ral
eigh.
6th. It is the interest of the citi
zens ol Kaieign to patronize mat
which most effectually accomplishes
the thing for which they pay their
money. Advertising dosen't always
advertise unless it is done in the
Visitor.
Left For Winston.
As announced in the Visitor a few
days ago, Mr. D. 11. Browder has de
terminjd to make the city of Winston
his future home. He left on the west
bound train this afternoon, carrying
with him many regrets that Raleigh
should lose him, and best wishes for
his success in his new home. Mr,
Browder has been among the fore
most of the young men of our city
who has contributed so largely to its
energy and progress in the past ten
years- For eight years he was book
keeper for Messrs Latta & Myatt; af
terward he was Business Manager of
the Propreisive Farmer, and while
so engaged established the Daily Call
one of the brightest papers ever pub
lished in Haleigh, and merging that
paper with the State Chronicle, be
came associated with Mr. Daniels in
the publication of the same.
in all these relations Mr. Browder
exhibited pluck and energy, and a
devotion to the interests of Raleigh
that makes his Iofs to us very great.
Wo again congratulate Winston upon
thf gain, and commend Mr. Browder
to them as worthy of their highest
confidence.

The Late Crop of Irish rota-
toes.
There is an increase of interest in
various parts of the country in the
matter of Southern grown Irish pota
toes for seed. These are the potatoes
grown in autumn from seed of the
early crop. Parties at the North
epeak highly of these for planting
them. The prospect is that a new
and valuable product will soon be
open to Southern growers in supply
ing these late grown, unsprouted po
tatoes for planting Northward. A
leading Richmond seedsman offers
Southern grown seed this spring, and
speakB of an increasing demand for
them. These potatoes are raised here
from the eullings of the early crop,
planted about the middle of August.
The early crop to furnish seed for this
late one should come from the North,
but the late grown potatoes are best
for planting for the market crop.

Type Cast iu Charlotte.
Charlotte is the first town in the
State that can lay the rather proud
claim to a type foundry. The South
ern Newspaper Union in this city has
just cast a font of job type, and
the result is excellent. The work
was done by Mr. Donaldson and Mr.
Hamell. They have finished up one
front and have several fronts in the
molds. The News expects to get a
font of this Charlotte made type to
help display its advertisements.

poker, torturing and mutilating her

was drunk, and when told by the of
ficer who arrested him, that his wife
was dead, said : "I know it, didn't I
kill her." The fiend is in prison.
A Funeral That Did: Not Take
Place.
Detroit, Mich., Feb. 13. This
morning her physician pronounced
Mrs. Margaret Rasheck dead. An un
dertaker was summoned, the body
prepared for burial and placed in a
coffin. The cause of the apparent
death was so mysterious that the
coroner was summoned. While the
inquest was in progress Mrs. Rasheck
astonished those present by rising in
her coffin. She will probably recover.
American Persistency.
The London News, commenting on
the Nicaragua Canal scheme, says:
"The Americans seem about to
triumph by sheer persistency. If one

relized he will rauk among the rorld's
greatest engineers."
