rain of last night will cause much
damage to crops in the low grounds
The many friends in this city, ot
Capt. W. S Ball, of Greeuboio, will
deeply regret to hear that he was
stricken with a slight attack of
paralysis at the Quincy hotel, in Win
ston, yesterday morning. We most
sincerely hope that he will soon re
cover.
The excursionists of the Baptist
Tabernacle returned from New Berne

lodges to night and help devise a
plan by which we can induce the

of Honor Hall, over the Citizens
bank.
We hope tin Northern Settlers Con
vention will be well attended by the
citizens of Raleigh, never mind the
weather. Attendants upon conven
tions have become used to storms,
with the belief that the turmoil of
the element outside always has pleas
ant offsets by the calm and comfort
within the walls of the convention
lalls. The session will be extended
long enough to admit of a general at
tendance. It is in contemplation to run an
excursion sometime next month, be
tween this city and Richmond, Va.
The fare will be very low and a splen
did opportunity will be given to visit
the historic capital of the Old Do
minion. There is no more interest
ing city, in the entire country than
Richmond, and, all who go may ex-.
j:ect a rare treat, at a trifling expense.
Another very heavy rain last night.
The market is well stocked with
cherries.
This weather is another drawback
on operations at the site of the new
Union Depot.
Extensive preparations are being
made for the commencement exer
cises at Peace Institute which begin

pi cted, as the programme will be an
attractive one.
The present summer promises to be
one of special interest to all who de
sire to take trips for pleasure or
health. The different roads in the
State will, on and after June lst,offer
low rates, tickets good returning on
or before October 30th.
Increased interest will be developed
in the battle ground celabration, near
Greensboro, on the 4th of July, from
the announcement that Hon. K. P.
Battle of the State University, will
deliver the address. His theme will
be "the life and services of Gen.
Jethro Sumner."

"Columbia."
When Mr. C. G. Stone, that ener
getic young business man took the
agency of the Columbia Bicycle we
knew he would make a success of the
business. He has already taken sev
eral ordeis. Mr. Stone did not go into
it merely for the profit as he is busily
engaged, but being an ardent admir
er and staunch advocate of the
"wheel," he wished to see Raleigh on
an equal with other places, where the
bicycle is used for business and pro
fessional purposes as well as for
amusement. Raleigh should have a
Gentleman's Bicycle Club and a La-
I dies Club as well, and we hope to see
the movement agitated soon. Hi
' A Welcome Meeting.
The Northern Settlers Convention
as will appear from the proceedings
published in this issue, assembled in
the Hall of the House of Representa
tives today. It is well worth the at
tendance of our citizens, for it is a
body of peculiar interest to them. It
is composed of northern men, become
North Carolinians, identified with
our own people in thought, feeling,
purpose, and interest, and this as
semblage means more than the gath
ering together of certain men. It
means that these certain men must
meet together to bear truthful and
grateful testimony to the fairness,
justice and kindness of southern con
ditions and associations, and to con
firm aud encourage by the evidence
they shall give the tendency of many
i of their former friends and associates
to follow in their footsteps and find
their homes and fortunes in the
same land where they have pros
pered. As Gov. Holt, Auditor Sanderlin,
' Mr. W. S. Primrose, Mr. R. H. Battle
and others are expected to address
i the meeting tonight, we hope our
' people will generally turn out to hear
them, thus encouraging by their
presence the objects in view.
