A gentleman this morning asked us what we were preparing for and why we were buying such a tremen dous stock this spring for (and wink ed his eye). Now what he meant by the wink I don't know, but suppose he meant we were preparing to make a break, and as he did not insist on an answer, we did not tell him what we meant by getting in such a big stock of goods. "Well," said he "you are prepared to do the proper thing in dry goods this spring, upon my word. I have never seen such a stock of goods opened in Raleigh, and the people are talking about your stock how lovely it is. Nothing in town to compare with it." "Why," said he, "one is bewildered by the immensity of your stock." Then we took the gentleman upstairs to show him really our stock and he was dumbfounded, went off without speaking, muttering to himself that Swindell was up. This tremendous stock of goods means something. The last remark he made was: "Swindell is a hummer." Again we were mysti fied. Yours truly, D. T. Swindell. The millinery at Swindell's is now in full blast Special Drives Are the order of the day, and we can now announce one of utmost im portance to the public generally. Think of it: nice ladies' shoes of first class make only $2; unlaundrfad shirts 50 and 75 cents; laundried $1. These are first class bargains. Spring goods arriving in endless variety of all shades and latest styles. The.ladies should make a rush for them, as no such tempting offers have been made in Raleigh for a long time. Separk has determined not to be outdone in the bargain line, as will readily be shown by a visit to his establishment. This is no idle boast; it is right down solid fact. For variety and style, Se park is unsurpassed. W. G. Separk, 12 East Martin St. Mar 16 lw Gentlemen, get a pair of Reynolds' shoes from Swindell's. Wanted. A six room house in a desirable lo cality.

The home will no doubt be located at Camp Russel near Raleigh. Mysteries lo Girl. Chicago Evening Post, 'li'irls are queer creatures,' remark ed one of them 'They're not one bit like men. For instance yon e.vu know a man for years and yet see and be quite sure that there are depths in his nature which you have never fathomed, nor even so much as ap proached. But you know a girl af ter you have seen her half a dozen times and what is more, you know her thoraughly. You have heard all her stories, you have memorized every one of her phrases and tricks of ex pression, and you can divine the course she would persue under any kind of circumstances. If I may use a simile, a girl in like an oil well which flows abundantly for a week and gives promise of keeping it up, but peters out completely at the end of that time and runs quite dry. Or to vary it a little, a girl is like Old Faithful,' that geyser in Yellow stone Park, which spouts every fifty eight miDutes regularly. After you have seen it once you know exactly when the next eruption will take place.you know to an inch how high and how large the column of water will he,and you are perfectly certain that it will never be different in the smallest de gree from what it was when you first saw it. But men are like those other geysers that some time spout a feeble stream and at others rear a tremen dous bulk, so that you never know what to expect and always have a feeling that the next eruption will be mighty beyond all previous ones. To We plain, you can never flatter your self that you really know a man. And then there is always the shadow of his unknown past. Straw matting and carpets at Swin dell's. Lost!
