At a meeting of the Confederate ' Veterans Association of North Car olina, held in pursuant to notice in the City Hall in Raleigh, on Tuesday, March 24, 1991, the following resolu ' tions were unanimously adopted by a rising vote. The surviving Confederate Soldiers of North Carolina feel it to be their ; sacred duty and high privilege to testify their devotion to their dead Commander General Joseph E. John ston Ou every battle field from Bull Run 1 to Bentonsvill, in which his valor, his genius and his strategy shed imperish able lustre upon the name of the Con federate Soldier, the troops of North Carolina were amonng his most f iith- ful supporters. By his unflinching. .courage in at tack, his fertility of resources, his profound knowledge of the science of war in its broadest generalization and in its most minute detail, his cease less care for his soldiers upon the field and upon the march, has established a name that will live in history with those of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. When the supremacy of the Fede ral arms was thoroughly established, he indulged in no useless repining. His earnest endeavor, from the capi tulation at Durham to the hour of his death, to restore permanent peace to the divided sections, gave him a warm place in the affections of every lover of his country. His life work was over, his labors had borne their due ieward, and full of age and honors he peacefully pass ed into the presence of his friends and comrades who had gone before. We tender our heart felt sympathy to the bereaved relatives.and request the headquarters of the various asso ciotions in North Carolina to be draped in mourning for thirty days. F. H. Busbke, S. A. Ashe, W. 0. Stronach, Committee. The Negroes' Exhibit at . the Exposition. A notable feature of the coming Southern Exposition will be the pro posed display to be made by the col ored people. Rev. J. C. Price, of Sal isbury, N. C, was placed in charge of this work under the commission as chief promoter, and has been arrang ing for a mammoth exhibit for fully a year past, and at the name time'has been more than any interested in the special exhibit to be made at Chi cago Exposition by Southern people of color. Many wise heads look upon this move as the very best that could be devised through which the North can be brought to a more complete understanding of the Southern negro and his relations to the white people of the South. The colored people will have a display of their own, con trolled by themselves and in a sepa rate and distinct building, and they will be afforded every opportun ity of showing off to the best advan tage their skill and management. This is an excellent feature, for if anybody loves the South better or can sing its praises louder than another, it is the Southern born ne gro; end besides all this, it will be a most effectual object lesson to North ern people who come to the Exposi tion. New Alliance Secretary. At a meeting of the ExecutiveCom mittee of the Farmers' Alliance held in this city today, Mr. W. S. Barnes, of Wilson, was elected Secretary to fill the vacancy caused .by the resign nation of Mr. Beddingfleld. Messrs Mewborne and S. B. Alexander coin posed the committee.

Mar 24 l w Intelligent Shoppers. People who go shopping with a level head, bent ou spending there money where the best value can be had, where money will buy its full worth in good, honast merchandise; those people are Intelligent shoppers. But when a man or a woman starts out to buy their goods from some merchant for friendship or any other personal feelings, that person is in the back ages fifty years or more If D. T. Swindell offers you good goods for any less money than any other merchant, then you will act wisely by buying from Swindell's. If Mr. A, B or C offerr you better values then part with your money in their favor; but let It be strictly business with you; when you work for money you are strictly business; then why shouldn't you be just as business in spending money. If you waist your money by trading for friendship, you cannot get more by friendship, you must work for it. All we ask or de sire is an opportunity to convince you that you can save money by trading at Swindell's. We have a stock much larger than any stock in town of dry goods, of shoes, of clothing, of white goods, of carpets, notions, of gents' furnishing goods, and have the knowledge that we do sell for less price than any one else. D. T. Swindell. Four Good Things. Dr. King's Royal Germetuer differs from ordinary medicines in four very important things: 1. It does not taste like medicine. It is as pleasant as lemonade, and, sweetened, makes a most refreshing drink. Persons who object to all other medicines take this with real pleasure, because it is good. 2. It never nauseates. The most delicate stomach finds in this a perfect remedy with out a single objection. 3. It never swaps off one disease for another. It does not set up one form of dis ease in order to relieve another, as is the case with so many deadly drugs. 4. It does not patch simply. It cures. It reaches, as nothing else does, to the hid den sources of disease in the hlood, and re moves the cause. It does this with an ease and power that have never been equaled. Nature, in her secret laboratories, has never produced a finer chemical compound, nor imparted to one such matchless gifts of healing. It is absolutely without a rival or a peer in its superb mastery of disease. It is truly, as Henry W. Grady said of it, "the ULTIMA THULE OF MEDICINES." Price 81.00 per bottle. Factory prices to dealers. A. E. JORDAN, "Agt., No. 12 South Side of Market, Raleigh, N. C. Boarders Wanted. Two or three gentlemen can get board by applying at 314Hillsboro street.
