The undersigned will, in addition to the Daily Evening Visitor, issue the first num ber of a Weekly Thursday, March 5th. The R vlekmi Wekkly Visitor, like the Daily, will be independent in matters of pol itics and religious denominations. It will not hesitate, however, to assail the wrong wherever found, when there is a reasonable probability of correcting it. In the publication of the Weekly Visitor, as in the Daily, we shall seek to furnish a journal that will be acceptable in the home 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 o: 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.

We have been frequently asked con cerning the "hitch" or supposed "hitch" in the matter of the construe tion of the new street railway system. We must answer that we are unable to give any definite answer, other than the assurance confidently made that the line will surely be built and in operation at an early day. t here are, we learn, good reasons for the temporary delay. There need be no fears. Raleigh is to surely have a first class system of electric railway. The McGiheny Family.

Wet Ilair in Winter. Pittsburg Dispatch. "wuata iooiisu name some men have of putting water on the hair in this kind of weather," remarked one of the Duquesne barbers. "Why put water on the hair at all ? It is done, to be sure, to make the hair lie down, but it is more of a habit than any' thing else. The h&ir can be brushed dry as well as wet. "You see men go out of barber shops with the water running from behind their ears. In a few minutes it is changed into icicles. The next day they complain of earache, neu ralgia, or pain in the back of the head. Do you wonder why? The cause is not deeply hidden. It is not water n the brain this time, but ice on the hair." An iron ana steel riant to go South. .FoTTSTOWij, March a. The iron and steel firm of Ellis & Lesslg an nounced that they have favorably considered the offer of $100,000 and forty acres of lanl made by the citi zens of Salem, Va., if they would re move their plant there. They employ 700 men in their nail factory, puddle and plate mills, and say that as soon as the present stock is worked up and other matters arranged they will move their machinery to ealem. Facilities for manufacturing iron are cheaper in the South is their reason for removal. SPECIAL NOTCES. Everybody Knows that far seeing merchants rather than to carry stock from one season to an other, are willing to make serious sacrifices. We have certain dress goods in dark shades, a few, not many on which we will make slaughtering prices, quite impossible in ordinary condition of affairs. We cannot af ford to hold them, so we turn them loose at a price within the reach of many who could not afford to pay regular prices for high class dress goods. Early spring goods are ar riving every day and Easter Dresses may be selected with a great dea' of taste from our imported stock lrom New York. Norris1 Dry Goods Store, Seventy-five Dozen Wet Under shirts. We have on hand a big lot of men's knit undershirts which are damaged by water; some are wet and some are not. These goods cannot stay in our store; hence we have placed a price on them which will rnoe them all out today and tomorrow. Twenty cents is all you are required to pay for them . 20 cents each. D. T. Swindell. A Novel Sentence. Philadelphia Record. A novel sentence has been pro uounced by a Justice at Huntingdon, in this State. A wife had kinsed "an other man:" her husband had clmR. tised her with corporal punishment, and Justice Kelly, supplying the third act in a drama unhappily play ed with too much frequency in all our courts, gave a verdict "that the wife retire to her usual place of abode and lock the doors so that no strang ers can be admitted for a period of six days; that the husband for the same length of time board with his next door neighbor and sleep in the barn, and that each party pay half the costs and stand committed until the sentence is complied with." Of the efficacy of such an original judg ment there cannot be much doubt, although a question might be raised on the constitutional ground of its being cruel and unusual punishment at least for the next door neighbor.
