She VOL. IR-JCJEICVHI. THESDAT, MAROH lO, 1891. JSTO, 135 NEWS NOTES ABOUT THE CITY. What Our Ileporters See and Hear Worth Giving to Our Readers News in Brief McGibeny tonight. " 3 Hope this weather suits you. The streets are drying off rapidly. Y. M. O. A. tonight at Christian Church. See notice of land s lie by O. M. Bcott, mortgagee. The Begister of Deeds issued one marriage license this morning. The capitol looks Jonesonie today. The legislators have about all de parted. The clock on the city hall has de cided to take a rest. It don't strike any more. The mayor levied fines on two par ties this morning for being drank and down. The legislators seem to have taken the rain with them; wish they had mud also. It will soon be time to get ready for the cattle show. Let us have a big one this spring. The spring poet ,is already tuning his lyre. The beautiful season will soon be upon us. The state tax on real estate remains at 25 cents on the $100 valuation of land. Good news for tax pay ers. Sheriff M. N. Hamrick, of Cleveland county, has settled taxes with the State Treasurer, paying in 8 648.99. Let there be no delay in opening up Morgan street. It has been long delayed and will be a matter of neces sity before the year is over. Giles Bowers of St Marys Town ship has resigned as a magistrate and Judge Thompson appointed Jarret J. Johnson to fill the vacancy. Judge Thompson proposes to have the cosiest office in the city. Work men are now engaged in making needed improvements. The time will soon be at hand when "hustling" among politicians will again be in order. The city election will be on us now in a few weeks. We understand that the Governor's Guard have sixteen new drums. We hope they can now drum up enough men to have a parade and inspection We like to look at soldiers sometimes. The Chamber of Commerce will not hold its regular meetiing tonight in consequence of the performance of McGibeny Family at Metropolitan Hall. The chamber will meet tomor row night at 8 o'clock. As the railroad authorities are to put a bridge over the road for the extension of Morgan street, we hope the structure will be a better one, in all particulars than that on Hillsboro street. The latter is anything but a credit to the city. It ought to be re placed by an iron bridge. The memoirs of Mr. Jeff 9i son Davis is now being issued; it is in two large actavo volume of 1.600 pages, v and is doubtless the first authentic publication of many incidents of the late war. It is a valuable publica tion and will no doubt have a large circulation. The Wake County Sunday School Convention will meet in Central M. E. Church, Raleigh, Saturday, March 14th at 11 a. m. If delegates were not elected last Sunday, superintendents and pastors, are respectfully request ed to appoint representatives let's have a good turn out. .Died. Mrs. Barney JoneB, a poor widow lady, died at her residence on the corner of Dawson and Morgan streets at 8 o'clock last night. Mrs. Jones had several children sick with meas les, and it is thought that she brought on her death nursing her children. May the good Lord louk after and keep tl.e poor widow's children from want. Delegates Appointed. Meters. S. M. Parish, E. B. Thomas, J. D. Ripgan and P S. Pierce were appointed from Central M. K. Pun day School, to attend the Wuko County Sunday School Convention which assembles in this city on the 14th in6t. at 11 a. m. McGibeny Concert. The McGibeny Family's coucert will take place tonight at Metropoli tan Hall. You will certainly regret it if yon Ml to attend this concert. St. Johns Hospital will get a largo share of the receipts; this alone should in duce you to attend. Give them a crowded house. The Exposition. Mr. John i Patrick left on Satur day for Florida, in the interest of the Exposition. .Mr. W. W. Upchurch left yesterday to work up the same interest in North Carolina. Work at the Inter States headquarters is be ing pushed and will wax warmer as the season advances. Marshals Selected. The two societies of Wake Forest College have selected their marshals for the commencement next June. The "Eu" society selected W. D. Daniels, Weldon; W. W. Vass, Jr., Raleigh; C. D. Graves, Selma. The "Phi" society selected W. R. Han num, Wake Forest; J. G. Blalock, Ox ford; and E. T. Barnes, Wilson. An Improvement Club. The Chamber of Commerce has done some work for Raleigh, but it is very evident from the falling off in its membership and their interest in same, that it should give place for some new and live organization. The chamber was too much of a mass meeting to begin with, and it made some serious mistakes by certain ac tions, made enemies and created prejudice against it. Fifty men, or even a smaller number, with broad, progressive views, with the one idea of building up Raleigh, formed into "An Improvement Club" is the thing now. There nee 1 be no bluster nor Mow about it If Mayor Thompson will se (n-x .vi men and ask them by a per soual :e ; ter to meet him on a given night for the purpose suggested, it will be done. Let the meetings be private and held twice a month, not in the May or's Office but in a room of its own fitting. The Colored A. and M. College. By th9 provisions of the bill passed by the Legislature for the establish ment of an Agricultural and Mechan ical College for the colored' people, a board of nine directors were appoint ed who are to receive propositions for buildings and land, and as soon as same are ready for use to proceed at once with the work. Until said build ings are ready the trustees of the white college are authorized to con tinue the present temporary arrange ment at Shaw University, or else where if preferred. We understand that Rev. Dr. Tup per, President of Shaw University, not willing to be embarassed himself or to be in the way of the new trus trees, has addressed a letter to the Board of Trustees of the colored col lege suspending for the present the work in this line in connection with his school and leaving them free to make any arrangement desired with-' out prejudice. Raleigh offered $7,400 for the loca tion of the Deaf and Dumb Institu tion, and as that offer was not taken, why not let it be turned to the estab lishment of the proposed college for the colored people. Butpshawl Why do this? If there is to be a State Institution built it ought to be located in Clay, Cherokee, Mitchell or some county in the west -where provjsions are cheap and where it will take pupils two or three days to reach it, and cost them a good part J of a year's tuitic n to get to it. Funeral. The funeral services of the late Rev. Dr. J. M. Atkinson were held ia Warrenton last Sunda , and were conducted by Rev. Alex Sprunt, pas tor of the Presbyterian church at Hendersou, assisted by Rev. Mr. Mc Cnllen. of the Methodist and Rev. Mr. Taylor, of the Baptist church. There was a very large attendance, as the deceased had a large circle of devoted friends. Soldiers' Home Park. Now that the directors of the Sol diers' Home have been appointed, with W. C. Stronach, Esq., as chair man, aud $3,000 from the State Treas ury is at their command, we beg leave to suggest that Camp Russell, given to the Home for its use, be called the Soldiers' Home Park; that all the old buildings on the grounds be torn down, and that the beginning of a park of beauty be made. The laying off of the grounds, the planting of trees, shrubbery, flowers, &c, can be done by naming a day for the gather ing of old soldiers and friends there for that purpose, each bringing with him something to plant as his part of the day's work. Get Prof. Massey, of the A. & M. College, to prepare a plan for laying out the park and superin tend the work. Thus it need not cost a dollar and great work be done. From the timbers of the old build ings to be torn down sufficient cot tages can be built for all needs. The plastering, ornamenting and fur nishing can- be done by enlisting co operative work also in large degree. Let's have the Soldiers' Home Park at an early day, before it is too late for plotting and planting. The Street Railway. "Did we.'surrender all rights by the charter granted ajpd lately amended, or were any reserved by the.' Board of Aldermen ?" We "were asked this question today, but were not able to answer. For instance, suppose the present company keep up the monkey ing that has been going on for the past three months, c'an the Board of Aldermen put a stop to it and give the right of ray to some company that will promptly use the same ? We heard a gentleman that knows what he is talking about, and that has lately come among us say that he felt sure he could interest any one of sev eral companies to come here and put up a first class electric service if ah lowed to do so. We trust our Aldermen will take this matter in hand and see to it that our city is not damaged as it is likely to be, by unnecessary delay or dilly dallying. Let the gentlemen who promised us electric street car service in a short space of time fulfill their promise, or debar them altogether. Personal Mention. Miss Maggie Reese has gone north to purchase her stock of millinery. Mr. Jno. W. Cross has gone to New York to purchase a fall and winter stock for the firm of Cross & Lineban. Mr. J. A. Mosely, of the firm of Mosely & McGee has gone north Mr. Sam Berwanger left for the northern cities yesterday. Mr. Jno. T.

Strouse, of Roxboro; Prof. F. O Hopgood, of Ox ford. Mr. Editor: As the election comes off in May next for Aldermen, I sug gest the name of Mr. W. N. Jones for Mayor. He will make an excellent Mayor. A Voter. Death of Mr. Sylvester Smith. It is with the deepest regret we are railed tipou to nnr.onnce the death of thi-i venerable aud highly epteeined citizen, which took plao at his resi dence ou South, West Street this morning at 125 o'clock. Mr Smith was in the 87th year of his age, and had been a resident of Raleigh since 1830. coming here from Hyde, his na tive county. He for some time, en gaged in the business of merchant tailoring, bat subsequently pursued the occupation of farming and milling, the Utter business teing carried on at Weldou. About the year 1843, Mr. Smith conuecte I himself with Eden ton .Street Methodist Episcopal Church at tho time Rev. J E. Ed wards had pastoral charge and has been a most consistent and beloved member ever since. He married Miss Clopton, of Halifax county, who has been his devoted help meet for about sixty years and who survives him. He leaves no children. The deceased has been confined to his home for about twelve months and his death may be said to hae been caused from general debility iu cidont to extreme age. In portraying the character of this beloved citizen too much cannot be said in praise. He was what may be justly termed a model man possessed of those qualities of heart so well cal culated to win and retain the friend ship of all. He was a pure gentleman of the old school, and it can well be doubted if he had an enemy. His decease adds another to the .list of the time honored residents of Ral eigh, who have, of late, "passed over the river." May God in his infinite mercy temper the affliction of the dear ones left to mourn this dispen sation. The funeral services will be held from Edenton Street M. E. Church tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. The grand, jury of Norfolk, Va., is after the Sunday sellers of liquor,and the investigation discloses that the police are not only inefficient in en forcing the law but are law breakers themselves. Two are under suspend sion for drunkenness. Lightning struck a nitro glycerine magazine near Findlay, Ohio,and ex ploded fifty cans.
