Mayor Badger has started out on
his duties with a determination that
order shall prevail in Raleigh, and of

hope it will be.

The Real Estate Convention.
We hope our citizens will give their
usual hearty welcome to this body
which meets here on the 13th inst.
It is something new for such an in
terest as that of real estate to meet
in consultation. But the very novel
ty is one reason why it should attract
pleased attention. The existence of
such a body, and confident of its use
fulness, is a mark of progress. It is
safe to say that it is the real estate
men who have aroused Southern
towns from their habitual lethargy,
who have thrived them up and put
them in motion. It is the real estate
men who have taught the citizens of
towns and cities the value of their
possessions and the extent of their
resources; who have set in motion all
the new springs of social and munici
pal life; who have urged and intro
duced the modern appliances and nn
provements essential to comfort, con
veniences and safety of modern exis
tence, aud in doing so, have en
hanced the value of the old parts of
towns and cities, and in so doing have
compelled them to enlarge tneir nor
ders.
We therefore welcome this convene
tion with unmixed satisfaction.

Mayor's Court
Mayor Badger had quite a pre
tracted levee this morning cauced
from the disorderly conduct of severe
al denizens of a disreputable hous
on West Cabarrus street. The evi
dence was of a most shocking and
disgusting character. A fine of $ i
and cost was imposed, with a warn
ing that if they again make their ap
pearance before his honor they would
not fare so well.
A colored boy named Alex Long
was charged with being drunk and
disorderly for which he was fined $5
and cost.

The Coming Exposition.
Everything points to the amplest
success in the purpose to make the
exposition in October and November
the most striking event in our social,
not to say industrial history. It is
something for the people of Raleigh
and of this section to reflect upon
and prepare for. Think of i. For
two months, not to speak of those
which precede the opening of the ex
position, visitors will be pouring into
it from every point of the compass,
from every part of this broad Union.
Already ths railroads of the far
Northwest signify their purpose to
facilitate the movements of their
people in this direction. So do the
authorities of the Northern roads; so
do those of the West and South. From
every quarter come expressions of en
couragement and pleasant anticipat
ion. Of course we will rot suffer
them to be disappointed. But we
must not accept success as a matter
of course. Like the attainment of
every other worthy human aim, suc
cess must be worked for. Let us all
keep our minds fixed upon it, and we
will achieve it.

Do You Need White Dress Goods
See what Swindell has in white
goods before you buy, because it is
your interest to do so. You have no
idea what good values can be had at
Swindell's in white goods We have
a very big stock of white goods, and
we bought these white goods from a
concern which is retiring from busi
ness and we got them for right much
less than the goods cost to make, and
we are selling them for right much
less than the same quality can be
bought elsewhere. A word to the
wise is sufficient.
Now about our fine dress goods sale.
We are still selling our nice dress
goods at the exact wholesale cost of
same; and from present indications
we will not have any dress goods to
move in our new store. This is no
false alarm but a genuine sale. Do
not fail to go to Swindell's when you
go shopping. It will pay you hand--,
somely.
