mometer probably up in the nineties

himself an early riser but he will be
quite sure to get up before the judge.
The corn in the field is shocked,
when it is made into whiskey. It is
shocking even to think of it.
The cotton exchange was unusually
dull today. The receipts were small
and prices continue to rule very low.
There were no cases on the station
house book for the consideration of
the mayor this morning.
There was a noted scarcity of coun

error.
The capital stock of the Caraleigh
Improvement Company has been in
creased to $70C0. Work will be
pushed on the mills as rapidly as pos
sible. The meat and vegetable market
was well supplied this morning. Some
extra fine strawberries, of the Sharp
less variety, attracted much attention.
The alarm in and around Gary about
mad dogs still continues. The excite
ment in some sections is said to be in
tense. A dog must be pretty well b.
haved in that part of the county now
to avoid the contents of a shot gun.
There is said to be a little hitch in
the proposed extension of the .North
Carolina Ralroad to the site of the
Caraleigh mills owing to some oppo
sition concerning property through
which it will pass. We hope the de
lay will be only temporary.

The sale of building lots in north
east Raleigh has been an immense
success. The number of lots sold has
exceeded our most sanguine expecta
tions. The purchasers are such peo
ple as any one will be pleased to have
for neighbors. We shall continue the
sale at present prices until .June 1st.
At that date the prices of all lots will
be advanced 10 to 25 per cent. Re
member that the lots are sold at very
low prices now, and on small monthly
payments; no interest added. Send
for our circular of description and
prices. No such opportunity for in
vestment has ever been offered in
this city. Buy one of these lots and
thus put a small amount of money
each month where it will soon double
itself.

Gkmts Straw Hats. A better
line we have never shown. First aud
nicest of all are the Dunlap straw
hats. They, like the Dunlap fur hats,
cannot be excelled by any manufac
turer in the country. Then we have
men's stylish straw hats, which do
not come quite so high in price, are
good, and the styles are correct. In
fact, we have now a stock of straw
hats from which we can suit almost
any one. We have a particularly
nice line of nobby styles for young
men, showing the very latest city
shapes. Come and choose your straw
hat before the lot gets picked over.

A Great Change,
And one that should interest every
person in and around Raleigh.
In the month of August we will
move in our new store on Fayette
viUe street and we want to carry with
us as little of our present stock of
goods as possible. And in order to
sell out very close by that time we
have reduced the price on a good
many lines of goods to prime whole
sale cost. These goods are going very
rapidly. Those who have examined
the quality and seen the prices, inva
riably avail themselves of this rare
opportunity of getting more and bet
ter goods for their dollars than they
ever bought before. Our big slaugh
ter dress goods sale is attracting more
attention every day. Our trade in
this line is constantly increasing but
there is no reason why it should not,
for we have a tremendous stock to
select from and we are selling it at
less than one half its real value. We
are constantly adding to our already
large and superb assoitment of milli
nery goods. New attractions every
day in the very latest and most fash
ionable styles and designs We are
new showing a large and nobby as
sortment of men's, youth's and boy's
clothing, all of which are big bar
gains. Tours truly, D. T. Swindell.
Ice.
Ice may be had at our cellar under
Barbee & Pope's confectionery store,
