Jwfti) nimn VOL RALEIG-H, S.TTJRrTT, TVEST 16, 1891 nsro. is NEWS NOTES ABOUT THE CITY. What Our Reporters See and Hear Worth Giving to Our Readers News iu Uriel' The United StateB Circuit Court will meet in this city on Monday, June 1st. Rev P. H. Wbitaker, of this city will deliver the annual address at Burlington Academy June 5th. Everybody ia anxiously waiting for operations to commence on the elec trie street railway. As Mr. Patrick says, it is the most important matter just now. New Irish potatoes in market today, but they are not exactly in the reach of those with slim purees Besides they are not as fully matured as a due regard to health requires. Rev. C. J. Wingate, of Durbam, who will act as temporary Rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd for the summer months, will officiate to morrow at the morning and evening services. Twenty six wagons loaded with wood were counted on East Hargett and Wilmington streets this morning. Although prices were high it seemed to find ready sale. There was not an item of interest to be found at the courthouse to day Clerk Thompson sns the times in his line are unusually dull.' Very few mortgages being made, which is a go d Mgn for the people generally. Tl e lower Uinta of the shade trees on Hillsboro street, between McDow ell and Dawson, should be cutoff. They are so low that a person with an umbrella or parasol has to stoop in order to get along. We were informed today by Mr W. G. TJpchurch that the name ''Caral elgh" which has been applied to the new cotton factory is made up of the words "Carolina and Raleigh." It was suggested by a prominent citizen. A well informed gentlemen from the country told us this morning that the damage by the late frosts had certainly been overestimated. He says the injury was of a very slight character. Our old friend Capt. Reagan, fcr so manv years the popular conductor on the R. & G. Railroad, was in the cit today. He is passing gently down the incline plane of life as a p osper ous farmer, a few miles from Raleigh. Senator Ransom has been to New Tork to invite ex-President Cleveland to vi it Morehead during the Teach ers Assembly. We hope he will come, although the great men of the nation seem generally to ignore our invita tions. We hope those having eligible sites for -the Auditorium, to dispose of, will nothesitate to make it known to the committee of Aldermen. There is no time to lose if we expect to have an auditorium in the next year or so. The entertainment at the Institu tion for the deaf and dumb and the ' , .ind last night given by the resident members of the Kings' Daughters' to their visiting friends, was well at tended. The programme was a most excellent one and all present were highly delighted. Mr. H. C. Harris, of Baltimore, Md., has been added to the painting force of Messrs. Evans & Martin, cor ner of Blount and Morgan streets These gentlemen are crowded with orders. They are doing a hurh class of work and are seeking first class workmen to do it. Mr. Harris comes well recommended. The suggestion that the President of the United States be invited to visit Raleigh during the coming ex position, is a good one, and we hope His Excellency may find it convenient to "swing around the circle" in this direction. We must protest however against any announcement being made of his coming, until it is certain Our folks have been badly disap pointed in such a manner before. Died. Dr. William Green, well known in Raleigh and vicinity, died at his resi deuce near this city yesterday after noon. He was about 62 years old. Cotton Market. The receipts today have been small and prices ruled low. The receipts for the season, up to date have been 37,185 hales, against 20,988 last season. Shipments are light. Mayor's Court. The most important case before the Mayor today, was the State vs. a party for beating a woman last night, in the street near the Gas House. The evidence was con elusive and the Mayor fined the de fendant $10 and costs. A Cheap Trip. The next annual meeting of the Teachers' Asseml ly will take place at Morehead City June 16th to 30th, 1891. It will be one of the most important sessions yet held, and extra induce mei.ts will be offered to attract a large crowd. The expenses of a trip to Morehead will be quite reasonable. Ma j. Harrell thinks that the expenses covering a two week's visit need not be over $25, which includes railroad and hotel fare. We have no doubt there will be a large crowd. Tobacco Exhibit. We are requested .o announce the following committee, appointed by John S. Lockhart, President of the N. C. Tobacco Association, for the exhibit to take place at Morehead on the 5th of August: W. A. Davis, Ox ford; H. A. Reams, Durham; E. M. Pace, Wilson; E. C. Edmonds, Wins ton; J. P. Taylor, Henderson; W. L. Walker, Asheville. None but farmers will be allowed to compete for premiums. To Those Who Are Interested in Fine Dress Goods. We will state that any one who is interested in fine dress goods should, ly all means, at tend the great slaugh ter dress goods sale that is now going on at Swindell's great emporium. We have made up our mind to make a clean sweep of our fine dress goods before moving in our new store, and in order to do this we have reduced the price on the entire line to less than one half its real value. Any one wishing a nice dress will find it to their interest to examine our stock before making their selection. We are now showing an elegant assort ment of white goods of the very lat est ana most iasmonabie style and design. We are constantly receiv ing new attractions in millinerv goods and we invite all to come and see them. Yours truly, D. T. Swindell. Wanted.
