HEWS NOTES ABOUT THE CITY.
What Our Reporters See and
Hear Worth Giving to Our
Renders News in Brief
Don't fail to take in the Wake
Forest commencement this week.
Garden thieves are on their rounds
and our people should be on the look
out. A military fete will be held iu the
Governor's Guard armory every ev n
ing during next week.
We regret to learn that the young
est child of Dr. A. W. Knox, died this
morning at 4 o'clock at Morehead
City. The remains arrived here this
afternoon.
It is going to be a pretty tough
business to get a solid foundation for
the new depot, but they are working
at it with a will, and will ''get there
all the same."
The Chautauqua, Literacy aud Sci
entific Circle gave an "art party" at
the Branson House last, night. It was
a delightful entertainment, and very
.enjoyable to all who attended.
The excursion train of the First
Baptist church Sunday school left on
time this morning for Wiustou. There
were twelve coaches tilled to their ut
most capacity. We wish them a good
time and a sate return.
Parents who cannot go to Fayette
ville on the pic nic, need not be
afraid to let their children go, us the
managers and marshals will look af
ter them with the utmost care. No
one will be allowed on the platform
of the cars.
Bear in mind the excursion of the
Edenton Street Methodist Chtrrch
Sunday School next Tuesday, to
Fayetteville. Extensive arrangements
are being made and it promises to be
one of the most enjoyable occasions
of the season.
A number of gentlemen will leave
this afternoon by the R. & D. System
for Washington, D. C, for the pur
pose of extending to the President of
the United States and his Cabinet an
invitation to attend the exposition in
this city. The party will be received
at the White House tomorrow.
The decision of the Board of Alder
men to tear down the old fence
around Moore square, is a good one,
but the proposition to erect a fence
three feet high is rather odd. There
is really no need for any fence at all,
as in the case of Nash square. It will
look better without one and of course,
a fence three feet high will be of lit
tle or no benefit. We have a stock
law and there is no danger of dam
age from cows &c.
vThe committee to solicit subscrip
tions for the 4th of July celebration,
are now going the rounds, and we
hope they may meet with all the en
couragement necessary. The races,
fireworks and other amusements for
a proper celebration will take a snug
sum, but our people should remem
ber that it is a grand occasion and
should be bo honored as to reflect
upon our city. Watch out for the
committee and lend them a helping
hand.
At all times, in all places, on all oc
casiouH, under all circumstances, for
all headaches, use Brad yen. tine only.
JuneS 6t.
We invite attention to the prospec
tus of the Washington Post for 1891,
to be found iu this issue. The Post
stands deservedly high as one of the
foremost papers, not only at the na
tional capital, but in the Union. Its
circulation has increased at a marvel
ous rate during the past few years,
indicative of puplic approval of its
conduct in every branch. Every one
should take a paper from the centre
of the government, and there 1b none
better than the Post. It is a marvel
of modern journalism, and so cheap
as to be in the reach of all. Read the
prospectus and subscribe.
A special train will leave Johnson
street station at 0:30 o'clock tomor
row morning for Wake Forest com
mencement.
Can't the Board of Aldermen raise
the amount subscribed for the Fourth
of July, just a little? Let us have
1200, at least.
Remember the date, Tuesday June
16th, Eleutou Street M. E 8un
day school exercises ai.d picnic to
Fayetteville, N. C.
Let everybody stay at home on the
Fourth of July and have a rousing
old fashioned celebration. Excursions
can be put off, but the Fourth only
comes once a year.
The managers of the Edenton St.
Methodist Sunday School pic nic
promises a good time to all their
friends who go with them to Fayette
ville next Tuesday, June 16th.
A pair of Misses kid gloves, slate
color, and a white handkerchief were
found on Hillsboso street last night
Owner can get them by calling at this
office and paying charges of notice.
Several of the towns of the State
voted yesterday on the local option
question. High Point went for prohi
bition by 4 to 1; Cleveland county
goes dry, and Durham goes wet by a
large majority.
Read the announcement of Messrs
W C. & A. B. Strouach in this issue,
These gentlemen give the benefit of
some splendid reading on the subject
of baking which it would be well for
housekeepers to take notice of. Read
the "ad."
The Street Railway.
We feel that to some extent we owe
the public an apology. We mean to
say that we have not done or Baid
anything strictly unjouraalistic, but
we admit that we have been a little
too previous. This can readily be
accounted for however, as over zeal
on our part to put the freshest news
before the public, and, in doing so,
we perhaps have relied a little too
much on that fickle dame called "ru
mor." We have been very anxious
about the street railway for two rea
sons. The nrst and main reason was
because we believed and still believe
that it is an absolute necessity for the
convenience and the progressive
spirit of the age. We have been anx
ious about it too, because we have
First Class Exhibitions.
( )ur popular and enterprising young
fellow citizen, Mr. Henry E. hitch
ford has leased Metropolitan Hall for
the months of October and November
of the present year, and proposes to
entertain our people with some of the
best theatricial companies now in the
United States. He is determined that
Raleigh shall enjoy some of the best
talent to be secured, and will see to it
that it is obtained if fair inducements
will bring it. The hall will be in
many respects improved and will
compare favorably for theatricals
with ;those of most cities. This is
an announcement that all our amuse
ment loving citizens will, no doubt,
hail vith delight.

A Valuable Advertising
dinm.
Messrs Nuss and Huff arrived in the
city yesterday. They intend to make
a handsome business directory of our
citv. Merchants will find it to their
own interest to give them due atten
tipn when they call. They come here
very highly recommended.
Attractions for the Month of
Tune.
We are now showing a large and
superb assortment of white goods in
all the late and new designes, all of
j which we are selling at a big bargain.
We have a large and elegant assort
ment of dress goods which we are
selling at prime wholesale cost, and
Borne lines at a little lees than cost
These goods are the biggest bargains
ever offered on this market We are
constantly receiving in our millinery
department, new attractions in the
very latest and most fashionable
Btyle of millinery goods. In this des
partment we are prepared to please
any lady wishing a nice stylish hat.
In men's women's and children's
shoes, we have an endless variety in
been overwhelmed by questions, as any style or size that your fancy may
require, and we warrant every pair to
the saying is, at "church, mill and
market," and, in order to answer
these queries, we have caught up
every rumor that seemed to have the
sound of plausibility and given them
to the public with a most favorable
coating.
But we confess we have run to the
end of our row. We printed yester
day what we deemed to be a well au
thenticated rumor that work would
be commenced this week. We are
now compelled to take it all back,
and with the most abject apology to
the public we are constrained to sub
mit the case and d clare that aside
from what we can gather from unin
telligent gossip, we are perfectly at
loss to designate even with the
most remote possibility the time at
which the work will begin. All we
do know is, and all that anybody else
knows, outside of the inner circle of
those interested, is, that the Board of
aldermen of Raleigh has extended
the time asked for and did all else
that was reasonably required. Un
der these circumstances it is fair to
presume, not know, that work will
commence within the prescribed
time, and will be finished for opera
tion by the commencement of the ex
position. This is, of course, the fair
inference, but we must shuffle off the
word "know" in our future allusions.
We do not, of course, mean to in
sinuate in the most remote manner,
that any hitch has occurred, or is
likely to occur, about tin matter,and
we assure our readers upon the honor
of a journalist (and this is undeniable
authority) that so far as we can die
cover, there is nothing so far devel
oped to present the full carrying out
of the proposed scheme. We can
safely ask our people to possess them
selves with patience. It cannot be
very long in the nature of things be
fore the great consummation is ef
fected, but pardon us from again
stating the precise time. As a mat
ter of consolation we can venture to
assert, that there are tigns of success
visible, and as "coming events cast
their shadows before'' we can look
forward with hope to the "good time
coming." Only this, and nothing
more.
