School Association, and Mrs. Wilbur
P. Drafts. President of the Interna

List Fall a company of 15 of our

north includes about 41 acres.
Messrs Rtauhope ' Pullen, Mayor
Thompson and C. G, Lalta, members
of the company were appointed a
special committee to lay off said prop
erty into city blocks, open up streets,
etc. Notwithstanding the long wet
spell, these gentlemen have proceed
ed with their work,' and are! rapidly
transforming the grounds. Shade
trees are being planted along the
side walks, here and there a small
park is left, and the whole is to be
laid off into building lots which will
be put on the market during this
spring.
The location is one of the most de
sirable on our suburbs, and we doubt
not the lots will meet with ready sale.
The prices for these we understand
will be started low so as to induce
purchasers, and we advise every me
chanic and young busitess man who
does not now own a home to get rady
for this opportunity.
Pullen Park.
Now that we have onr new city
charter, we hope, after, the excite
ment of the municipal .election dies
out.our Aldermanic Fathers will take
steps to have Pullen Park placed in
Buch a condition as to make it what
it deserves to be, a most delightful
resort. ' It is true that the generous
donor, Mr. R. S. Pullen has devoted
much time, and we presume no little
expense, in fixing up the grounds.but
the city should at least, lend a help
ing hand. Although we may be sub
jected to a temporary drawback, we
must think the time is not far distant
when the street oars will be running
to the place, and then it will be a
most delightful retreat for onr citi
zens. juet tne city exercise proper
care for the park. It can be made an
ornament of which our people may
well be proud.

Mr. J. N. Hubbard, steward of the
Diplomacy Needed,
It is not impossible that serious
oruplications shonld grow out of the
Behring Sea question.
A Montreal special of the 10th says:
An officer of the British Navy, who is
in the city on business, slates that
theie is more significance to be at
tached o the approaching visit of
Lord Wolseley to Canada than is gen
erally believed.
"Lord Wolseley," he said, "will sail
shortly for Canada and will at once
proceed to the Pacific Coast, where,
iu company with General Herbert, he
will inspect the defenses of British
Columbia, aud more particularly the
navl yard at Esquimault He will
remain at Victoria until the United
States have given their ul; iinatam
with regard to the Behring Sea ques--
tiou."
When asked what he thought of the
outlook and the possibility of an early
settlement of the matters of dispute
between Canada and the United
States, he said:
I would not be surprised to iind
Great Britain and the United States
at war before the year is out. The
British Government has been remain
ing quite, in view of the possibility of
the Liberal party in Canada getting
into power, through whom LordSalis
bury believed a more satisfactory set
tlement of matters of dispute could
have been reached than through the
administration of Sir John Macdonald
whose policy has been more in the di
rection of intensifying hostilities than
effecting a reconciliation."
In conclusion he said that the ac
tivity about the British dock yards
clearly showed that England was pre
paring to be ready for any emergency.
"Just mark my words, he added,
if Great Britain and the United
States do not measure swords before
the year closes, they will come so near
it that only the greatest amount of
strategy will avert it."

Correspondence of the Visitor.
Inasmuch as the first and fifth
wards are to have the big end of the
democratic Board of Aldermen here
after, and as ex -Mayor Dodd came
from thetfifth. and Mayor Thompson
comes from the first, it seems quite
becoming that the next mayor should
come from the third, and as W. N.
Joaes, Esq , lives in the third ward I
find on all sides that he is looming
up. But it is some time off yet, and
we have a great many capable men
in Raleigh and the question as to who
will be our next mayor is still open.
