Work will begin shortly on the new cptton factory. Let the croakers take a tack seat. Today being a national holiday, Washington's birthday, the banks j and postofBce were closed. j The railroad people are moving slowly about the new depot, but we I are thankful to say they are moving. During the the storm Saturday night several large limbs were blown j down in different portions of the city and fences were blown down. The Hesperian Literary and Social Club will hold its 12th nnniversary to morrow,Tue8dayeveniog, at 8 o'clock in the Adams hall. The electric street cars will be in operation in a short while, t hen what a relief it will be when it rains. There won't be so much Deed of ferries. Metropolitan Hall Wednesday night. The Running 'ild Troupe will hold the board. Rip Van Win kle Thursday night, aud Adele Frost on Friday night. There will no doubt be some fine speaking tonight in the Seriate. Th bill to appropriate ce'tain money to the Agricultural and Mechanical Col lege comes up as a special oro!er at. 8 o'clock. We regret to Btate that information was received here today, aunouueing that the condition of Mrs. Latham, i niece of Mrs. Gov. T. J. Jarvis, who is very ill at Greenville, Pitt county, : is hopeless. This is sad intelligence to Mrs. Latham's many friends in Ral eigh and vicinity. There will be a reg'ilar meeting of William G. Hill Lodge A. F. and A. M,. tonight at the usual hour. The entered apprentice degree will be conferred. Members of other lodges in the city or State invited to be present. There seems to be little or no abate ment in the list of bills' introduced in the General Assembly. The morning hour finds them each day rushing in by the wholesale, Many of these must neceHsarily die in the hands of the committees as the time is too short for their careful consideration That Committee are have another hearing over that Immigration bill this afternoon. We do hope they will see the interest of the State they are here to represent. North Carolina cannot afford to lose the Southern Exposition; and the locating of the Southern Exposition depends largely upon their action. Another of those Double Numbers which the publishers of 'The Youth's Companion' seem to delight in offer ing as a pleasant surprise to its read ers comes to us this week A careful reading of one of these Special Num bers makes it easy to understand why this favorite paper rarely loses an old friend and galas so many thousands of new admirers every year. The bill to appropriate $400 to the Superior Court Judges and $150 to the Supreme Court Judges (annually) for expenses in traveling, was killed on its second reading in the Senate to dav. As the Railroad Commission bill prevents the Judges from receiv ing free passes, this virtually reduces their pay. A bill is, however, pend ing to require the Railroads to pass all State officials free. We do not wish to be considered in the role' of chronic grumblers, but facts justify the assertion, that the FMUsboro road from Mai. Tucker's cor ner, west, is in a condition, wors than ever before known If something is not done in the way of Mcadamiz- ing it will be simply impossible after a while to be traveled in wet weather ' That our only western outlet from the city should' be in such a fix, is -eh t'v regretted. ; Died. We regret to learn of the death of Mr. J. G. Habel, which occurred at his residence, No. 519, N. Person St., this morning at 3 o'clock; aged sixty seven years Funeral notice in to morrow morning's papers. Through to Florida. Another railroad deal was closed on Friday last by which the seaboard Air Liua obtained control of the Georgi i Southern aud Florida which will open the line from Palatka, Fla., to Baltimore (as soon as the little gap is filled on the G. C and N. approach ing Atlanta). Baltimore is rejoicing over this as another line in her inter ett. Raleigh certainly has cause for rejoicing. It Looks Bad. A pavement in front of the court house would add greatly to the ap pearance of things around the build ing. It looks mighty bad, being next to the well kept grounds of the post office. We are sure that Capt. Wil liamson, chairman of the board of county commissioners, having his at tion called to the matter, will exert himself to have it put in proper sha pe. The county should do this. Superior Court. The Superior Court of Wake cou,n ty for the trial 6f civil cases only, commenced this morning, with Judge Robt W. Winston presiding.

I Don't Know Whether I'm Horseback or Afoot. On entering Swindell's store on Sat urday last this writer heard the above expression by an elderly lady who had five children with her. Said she to the clerk who was waiting on her "Thereis bo many things. here in this store, and they are ail so much lower than I have been in the habit of buy ing, that I really don't know whether I am horseback or afoot. I am be wildered. Wh)," said she, "this store looks to me like . a whole town of itself." Said she: "1 came all the way from Harnett county to see what kind of a place Swindell's store was, and it is all I expected to find, and more. Why, this store looks like it contained more goods than all the store in Harnett county." Said she "Give me a pair of those 75c pants for five men, white shirts, drawers and box to go with the pants." After ex ploring over the store this lady asked for a free pass to go from Swindell's, W. II. & K. S. Tucker fc Co. Dunlap'S Hats.
