Let the municipal election have a rest for a while. v The WeBt End Baptist Mission t Church has been completed and is a ' beautiful little structure. It will be of jvast convenience to ninny of the denomination in that suburb. The hot weather of the past few days has had a good effect on the " grippe sufferers. There seems to be a general tendency towards convales cense, bat it is rather a slow process. There was a noticeable deficiency in the crowd of country people in the . city last Saturday caused, no doubt by the beautiful weather which re quired their attention at home on the A farms. - . The weather yesttrday approached 4 mid-summer. The thermometer ran high up in the eighties. The hot wave is said to be of unusual extent, prevailing nearly over the entire country.

Hoke that he was undecided as to whether or not he would accept the appointment of President of the N. C. ' Railroad made vacant .by the resigna tion of Gov. Holt. He rather thought he would come to an adverse decis ion. i The weather is certainly enticing to those fond of piscatorial sports. ' Large crowds are everyday seen wend ing their way to the various ponds in the vicinity. Luck or no luck, they will go. Our people need have no fear about the rumor recently going the rounds '4 that the work shops of the Seaboard ' ' Air Line System were to be removed ' from Raleigh. We hear that there is nothing in it. .They are no doubt here , to stay, and will continue a source of . much advantage to tie people of - Raleigh.

E. Church yesterday, one person was received into the church by certificate. There are now about one hundred and thirty telphones in use in Ral eigh. Can't the connection with Durham, proposed some time since, be carried out 1 It would 6urely be a great advantage to the business peo ple of both places. The address of Mr. McKesson, of Morganton at Edenton street church, yesterday afternoon to a very large audience on the subject of prepara tion was a most earnest and impress ive one. Its effect for good cannot be overestimated. He is a fine speaker and has a fine delivery. Mr. John C. George, of Baltimore, together with Dr. Turner, Mr. J. A. Jones and others interested in the street railway, today made a tour of inspection of the lines. The outlook for a speedy building of the road is now splendid. It.will be on a larger Bcale than heretofore mapped out. The full moon this month which is proverbial for being the trying time on fruit, comes rather late for a frost. We can therefore hope for a reason able good crop of fruit. With, sugar at six cents, and plenty of peaches, cherries &c, wont our housewives be happy? Now that it has been ordered by the Board of Aldermen that Morgan street shall be extended, we hope that due regard be paid to the erection of the bridge over the R. & G. R. Road, and that an iron structure instead of a wooden one be built. We also hope that the rickety affair over the road on Hillsboro street be taken down and an iron bridge substituted. We believe that it will be cheaper in the end, and it will certainly be a vast improvement in the looks Wake Superior Court. The April term of the Superior Court of Wake county for the trial of civil causes only, commenced . today, Judge Winston presiding.The docket is not an unusually large or impor tant one, and the term will not prob ably last longer than one week.
