handed Mrs. M. Gtiausman, from the
Sioyai Arcanum insurance vu me uiu
of the late Mr. M. Grausnian.
f We were shown this morning the
signature of a man 84 years ot age.
There are few men of 25 that can
beat it.
Charlotte seems to be 6omewhat
stirred up over the murder that hap
pened there a few da) s ago. It looks
like a joung wr vcnld Le wi-.ged
there.
The railroads will give special rates
for the cattle show to be held in Ral
eigh May 7th. We hope there will be
a large attendance.
Much complaint is heard among
the merchants about the dust kicked
up by the street sweeping machine.
It does seem that the sprinklers could
be used freely before the sweeping
- act takes place.
The funeral of the late Mrs. Franck
was held from the Baptist Tabernacle
this afternoon at 4 o'clock. There
was a large crowd of relatious and
friends in attendance.
The regular 10:30 services of the
Fife meetings were held in Metropol
itan hall this morning. There were
about 400 persons present. Mr. Fife
made one of bis best talks. The sing
ing was extra good.
Messrs. Ferrall & Co. seem to be in
hard luck with their delivery teams.
Another wagon was smashed in front
of their store this morning Ijy a pair
of mules running into it and knock
ing their pony down.
The combined parade of the tire de
partment and the Amateur Minstrels
made a splendid showing yesterday
afternoon. Chief Engelhard, Assistant
Chief Ferrall and the hotse teams ap
pearedinfull uniforms.
On yesterday a horse hitched to a
delivery wagon belonging to Messrs,
J. R. Ferrall & Co., became frightened
at the R. & Q. Freight Depot and
did some lively running for a 6hort
while, but no damage.
In nearly all the relations of life in
which our interests touch the inter
ests of others, we art in danger of
dealing unjustly. What is known as
"the golden rule," is much more diffi
cult of application to the every day
a flairs of life than most men imagine
Very few of us that do not condemn
ouri elves in practicing what we con
demn in others. As one has express'
edjt,
"The faults of our neighbors with
freedom we blame.
But tax not ourselves though we
practice the same."
Gentlemen of the Board of Alder
men, can't you enlighten your con
stituents relative to the matter of the
extension of Morgan street? Your
honorable body has given it out that
the street was to be extended, and
the inference was that it was to be
done soon. Has the matter been con
signed to the "tomb of the capulets,'
and if so, why? Gentlemen of the
Board of Aldermen, please enlighten
the publio on this matter. It is a
question that will not down.
This weather is getting something
like summer time.
Regular meeting of Beaton Gales J
Jxdge tonlgnt at So clock, b.ery
Odd Fellow invited to attend.
The colored engineer at the cotton
mill on the R, & G. Railroad had one
of his arms so mashed in the ina
chinery this morning that amputa
tion was necessary.
The Fife meeting is daily growing
in iuterest. About twenty five per
sons went forward for prayer last
night; the church is crowded at each
service. The singing is excellent.
A great deal of interest centers in
the meeting of the Board of Alder
men tomorrow night. It is expected
that something will be developed
concerning the street railway, and
everybody hopes it may turn out all
right.
The Amateur Minstrels perfor
mance last night at Metropolitan
Hall drew a large and appreciative
audience. It was by far the best
minstrel troupe that has played in
Raleigh for five years. The play
netted something over fifty dollars
for the W. R. Womble, Truck Com
pany.
The Richmond State says : The
first class afternoon daily is a very
popular medium of advertising in
every city. In many cities it is far
ahead of the morning paper in ad
vertising business. But there are
very few cities in this country that
support more than one afternoon pa
per. Last year six afternoon papers
suspended and in each case it was the
new paper started to run out the old
established paper that went under.
We are informed by a reliable citi
zen that this day 16th of April, 1819,
forty two years ago, one of the most
blighting frosts that was ever known
fell Spring, our citizen says, was far
advanced, the trees and woods were
grec n with their foliage and there
were fiDe prospects for large crops of
fruit ; but on the 15th it turned sud
denly cold and the next morning ap
peared this killing frost. It destroy
ed all the wheat and fruits of all
kinds. In a few days the trees, or
leaves were perfectly black and with
ered. Perhaps many of our oldest
citizens can remember this event.
Married.

the evening of the 15th inst., by J. C.
Marconi, Esq., Mr. J. Frank Matthews

was chosen President, and Mr. James
H. Holt, of Burlington, was chosen
director to succeed Gen. Hoke.

Thanks to Our Friend Dughi.
The Visitor is indebted to Mr. A.
Dughi for as nice a treat of as nice
ice cream as it has been our privilege
to taste in a long time. We predict
a liberal patronage for Mr. Dughi
during the heated season on the part
of our people. His set out is quite
tempting.
A Good Selection.
The Southern Immigration Bureau
has engaged Col. Jno. D. Cameron, of
Asheville, to come to Raleigh for the
purpose of writing up the affairs of
the Bureau; this is a most admirable
selectiou.There is no better newspa
per man in Korth.Carolina than Col.

street. There is ample rooms for all
the stock that can be had. Space is
already being taken, and much
preparation being made to make it a
grand success. All railroads leading

take hold of this fair and make it
such a success that it will draw peo
