Loula, the interesting little daugh ter of our friend, Mr. C. C. McDonald, has lost her canary bird, and is much distressed about it. The bird made its escape last, Wednesday evening and went to Mr. Dughi's, of whom it was purchased. It perched for awhile in a tree and would have been captured but for being frightened off by an English sparrow. The bird is no doubt in the city somewhere, and we hope that if captured it will be re turned to our little friend. True Nevertheless. Some people are ready to say Swin dell don't sell goods cheaper than any other merchant, but their saying so proves they don't know. Every thing goes to show Swindell does sell chea per than anyone else if he does not. Why has his business grown so much? If he does not. why do people continue to trade there. Why do people quit trading elsewhere and go to Swindell's. For dress goods, for millinery goods, for clothing, for shoes, for hats, fee carpets, and for thousands of other things, Swindell does sell cheap. Rex Hospital Fund. At the last meeting of the Board of Aldermen a committee was appointed to confer with the committee in charge of the Rex Hospital fund.

Only a few months at o Messrs.Bar bee & Pope commenced the manufac ture of candy in this city. They went in with the determination to win suc cess and it has crowned their every effort. They now have the larg est working room of the kind in Raleigh and a large force of skilled workmen putting up both plain and fancy candies. It is a sight worth seeing watching the workmen rolling out the candy in long sticks, cutting and packing. The working room re sembles a bee hive in every sense of the word. Mr. Pope, the traveling man of the firm took a run down the R. & G. road this week. He was gone only one day and brought in orders for eighteen hundred pounds of as sorted candy. They manufacture only first class goods and find a ready sale. Their fancy candies are equal to any made in any city in the coun try. They pride themselves on their chocolate goods, and well they may, for no finer goods of this kind can be found. A great many people are un der the impression that in the manu facture of candy cleanliness is an after consideration. No doubt it is in a great many factories. This building is a model of cleanliness and they would be delighted to show you through their work and salesrooms. Messrs. Barbee & Pope are full of energy, and are pushing their bnsi ness for all it is worth. That they are meeting with the success they so much deserve, is a source of much pleasure and gratification to their many friends. $500,000 Wasted.
