The Halelgh Weekly Visitor, j
The undersigned will, in addition to the
Daily Eveninq isrroK, issue the first num
ber of a Weekly Thursday, March 5th.
The Raleiish Weekly Visitor, like the
Daily, will be independent in mattera-of pol
itics and religious denominations. It will j
not hesitate, however, to assail the wrong j
wherever found, when there is a reasonable !
probability of correcting it.
In the publication of the Weekly Visitor, j
as in the Daily, we shall seek to furnish a j
journal that will be acceptable in the home 1
circle of the refined. The Weekly will advo- ;
cate the interests, of North Carolina, in what
ever department of thought and action such
interests may appear;' whether in the school,
on the farm, at the dairy, in the factory, or
down in the mine.
The price", per annum, for a single copy, is
75 cents in advance. In clubs of five copies
or more 50 cents per copy in advance. Ad
vertising rates will be furnished on applica
tion. Believing that by issuing the Raleigh
Weekly Visitor as a non-partisan secular
newspaper from the capital of the State, we
fill a place that needs to be occupied ; we re
spectfully solicit the patronage of a generous
public. T. C. Williams, Editor.

Why Not Improve It?
Something should be done to pre
vent people from walking over the
graves in the old. cemetery. There
are numerous paths directly over the
graves. In fact it is a hard matter to
tell where there is a grave. Mr. Seth
Jones, the sexton, doubtless does the
best he can under the circumstances,
It is some one s duty to see that it is
put in proper condition. If some
member of the Board of Aldermen
will make a move on this line he will
gain the good wishes of a big major
ity of the citizens of Raleigh.
Funeral of Air. J. D. Lee.
The funeral of the above named
gentleman took place yesterday af
ternoon at 1 o'clock from the Baptist

Our Churches Yesterday
CENTRAL M. K. CHURCH.
At Central M. E. Church yesterday
morning Dr. Nash preached the fu
neral of Mrs. Helen McDowell. The
church was crowded.
At night the services were interest
ing and largely attended. The com
munion was administered at night.
BROOKLYN M. R. CHURCH.
At Brooklyn M. E. church, the pas
tor, Rev C. O. DuRant, preached at
11 a.m.toa goodcongregation.Sunday
school was well attended at 8 p. m.
Rev. J. A. Conninggim, D. D., the
Presiding Elder, preached at night
and administered the communion.
Both services were enjoyed by large
and appreciative congregations.
CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
Rev. J. L. Foster delivered two
very strong and instructive sermons
yesterday morning and evening at
the Christian church to very appreci
ative congregations. His evening ser
mon deserves special mention. The
subject was ''Hard Hearted, Faint
Hearted; Half Hearted, True Heart
ed." Text found in the parable of
the sower.
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
Dr. Carter's Bermon was on the
seventh commandment: "Thou shalt
not commit adultery." He handled
this delicate subject in an able man
ner, using strong, forcible, meaning
and inoffensive language, condemn
ing this sin as one so often committed
and more mildly treated than most
other sins generally being a double
sin and often in copartnership with
murder. He dwelt upon polygamy,
the law of divorce, licentious conver
sation, imprudence of conduct, im
pure thoughts, etc. After the ser
mon the Lord's supper was partaken
of. Singing good, congregation large.
At the evening service he took his
text from the book of Acts 3:6, giving
a glowing account of the temple call
ed "Beautiful," and the healing of
the man who had been lame from
birth; also, giving encouraging words
to christians and showing that it was
in the power of all to do something
for Christ.
To Begin Work in Earnest
Work will begin next week on the
Southern Inter-state Exposition at
the fair grounds. The present build
ings will be repaired and fitted up
and exhibits will begin to arrive as
soon as the electric car line is extend
ed to the grounds. The Exposition
will be held next October and Novem
ber, but the collecting of non perish
able specimens will be pushed forward
as rapidly as practicable from this
time on, and the offices of the clerks
&c, of the Exposition will be moved
to the fair grounds as soon as the
street car line begins to run to that
point.
Mr. Jno. T. Patrick leaves in a day
or two for Florida for .the purpose of
a conference with the commissioners
of Immigration of that Stateand
from there vill probably go to other
states.The establishing of this South
ern Inter-states Immigration Bureau
is not only a good thing for Raleigh
but a grand thing for the State
of North Carolina. It will give the
State greatly the advantage over
6ther States in securing the location
of men and capital from the great
north and west. It will be greatly to
North Carolina's advantage to ap
point a State Immigration Commis
sioner in full harmony with the In
ter-states work and its advam e meth
ods.
The McGibney Family will appear
here on the night of the 10th, for the
benefit of St. John's Hospital. The
following is what the Marshalltown
(la.) Times Republican says of them:
A magnificent audience in character
and numbers greeted the McGibney
Family last evening. The house was
literally packed with our very best
people, and many were turned away.
Of the entertainment given too
much cannot be said. Every member
of the family is an artist, from the
oldest to the youngest.
