Raleigh dirt "got up and got" yes

The next fruit fair will be held at
Greensboro, August 4th and 5th next.
It will be a most important event.
The Clerk of the Superior Court

Another change of schedule on the
R. & D. railroad is in contemplation,

train frcm the eost will reach Dur
ham in the evening at 8:30 o'clock.
The Atheville Citizen says: Rev. G.
W. Bell was appointed to collect ex
hibits for Buncombe county to be
sent to theRhleigh exposition, under
the direction of S. R. Kepler.
Applications for direct taxes aie
pouring into the Executive office by
the hundred. The Private Secretary
and Executive Clerk are having a
rough time of it. They should have
help if possible.
Attention is called to the change in
the advertisement of Messrs. W. C. &
A. B. Sironaeh. They have bread for
the millions, and a line assortment of
other table comforts. Go and see
them.
The new annex to the Yarbcro

take all who apply. Raleigh will be
on time, and no mistake.

open on the 17th inst. at, Wrights
ville. Col. Olds, the Quarter Master,
is now there, fixing up matters for
their reception. The V irginia troops

greatest occasion of the kinJ, yet
seen in the State.

charge the matter of locating tin
proposed Odd Fellows Orphan As;
lum will give acarelui consider lio;.
to the claims of Raleigh. There is no
other town in North Carolina that
can present better advantages from
every point of view.

never had anything to do me so much
good." jy8 6t.
The Visitor extends many thanks
t o Messrs. W. C. & A. B. Stronach
for a couple of the largest and most
delicious melons we have seen this
season. They were grown by the
Wilder Melon Company, of Anthony,
Marion county, Florida. They are
right fresh and exceedingly fine.
Those who want real fresh melons
will do well to call early and supply
themselves.
Work on the street railway system
'is now being vigorously pushed, and,
there is no longer a doubt in the
minds of the most skeptical about its
early completion. We learn that the
iron tor most of the proposed routes
has been ordered and will be prompt
ly put down or arrival. The exact
routes are still not definitely known,
but it is certaiu that the extension to
the exposition groundB will receive
early attention.
It May Fay You
Citizens intending to visit the sea
shore may find it to their interest to
call at the Visitor office before deci
ding just where they will go and how
long they will stay. A call will cost you
nothing and may be to your ad van
tage.
Postponed.

place at Mrs. Wray's, corni r Wil

time.
Grand Bicycle Tournameut.
We note with pleasure that there
will be held at the large Stionach
Tobacco Warehouse next Monday
night, a grand bicycle tournament,
and from remarks we hear in regard
to it, there will be a large attendence.
There should be 1,0(K) people, as at a
little place like Greensboro there were
GCO. We are glad to see among all
our people a growing interest in
cycling, as the wheel is one of the
greatest labor saving conveniences
ever invented by human skill, and is
the best and most innocent amuse
ment in the vocabulary of sports.
And now to see our own Raleigh
cyclers showing what practice and
continual riding will accomplish in
their marvelous feats on the wheel.
They will catch lings with swords
while riding at full speed. All who
want to 6ee something novel will be
there; mothers will go out with their
little boys and girls, young men,
young ladles, married folks and all
will be there; and the admission will
be small, go as to fill the house.and we
predict they will have it full, and
everybody will say they 6pent a
pleasant evening at the first grand
tournament of the 3 C. Club.
Interview With MLr Clarence
Busbee.
A reporter of the Visitor this
morning sought, and obtained an in
terview with Mr. Clarence Busbee,
the unfortunate young man, now in
custody herd charged with embezzle
meut of funds over which he had
charge.
Mr Busbee says that he has recent
ly been acting in the capacity of con
fidential bookkeeper and treasurer
tor the Buena Vista Saddle and Har
uess Manufacturing Company. His
salary was a poor one, and not suffi
cient to keep up with what he deem
ed a proper social course. At differ
ent times he took for individual use,
small sums varying from $1 to $5.
These he frequently charged
to his account, but, in some cases,
failed to do so. Upon examination
he found .that the sum had exceeded
his expectations or intention, and ag
gregated about $150 to $200. He
found himself in a dilemma, and noti
fied the president of the com
pany of the deficit, but sta
te d that he wbb unable to give the
exact amount. After this he left
hurriedly for New Yoik, in the hope
of obtaining employment. He had a
small sum of money, and failed in his
h opes. He then turned homeward,
and got as far as Norfolk, Va., where
he met with Mr. John H. Winder,
superintendent of the Seaboard rail
road. To him Mr. Busbee told his
troubles, and Mr. Winder and his
wife treated him with the utmost
kindness, giving him some excellent
advice. Mr. Winder aided him in
reaching Raleigh.
The young man appears most deep
ly penitent, and expresses the desire
to do all in his power to make resti
tution. It is not deemed out of place to say
that there is deep sympathy express
ed for him, and the earnest hope in
dulged that it may prove a warn
ing during his future life.

I. O. O. F.
Regular meeting of Beaton Gales
Lodge, No. 64, I. O. O. tonight

importance will be brought before

for the first degree will be on hand

Fellow cordially invited.
A. Good Example.
Mr. B. N. Duk, of Durham, has
opened a night school for the oper
atives of his factory under the most
flattering prospects This is a first
rate and most commendable move
ment and should be followed by
others in the State. The Durham
Sun says:
The operatives of that factory are
indebted to Mr. B. N. Dukt, for this
grand opportunity of education. Mr
Duke has always deplored the fact
that these people could not reap
some of the benefits of the Graded
School, but they were too poor to
lose bo many hours from their day's
work, for their maintenance depend
ed upon what they made at the fac
tory, so he had the night school
started for their benefit. This is a
grand move on the part of our noble
and liberal hearted citizen, and no
doubt it will be the means of ne.com
plishing much good. It is a worthy
example by which many of the weal
thy manufacturers may profit.
Just such generous acts as the
above will do more towards! develop
ing a town than words or pen can
portray.
Nearly an Accident.
Our former townsman, Mr. C. S.
Poe, now a resident of Chattanooga,
Tenn., bad a narrow escape from
death a few days since. A Chattan
ooga paper says:
Three drunken men undertook to
wreck the broad guage train coming
down Lookout Mountain at 6:10 last
night. They rolled a huge stump on
the track just before the tr itn came
rushing round the curve at the deep
ill where the old dirt road crosses
the railroad track. The engine
struck the stump in such a lucky way
that the train was not derailed. T'he
greatest excitement prevailed among
the mountain people over the event.
One of the men has been arretted and
search is being made for the others.
Mr. Poe w as on the traia, h iviug
been over to the popular resort,
Lookout Mountain, to spend a faw
hours, ami writes a friend iv.re fiat

Remnants Straw Mattings.
We have taken from the regular
stock, up stairs, all the short lengths
of straw mattings, marked the num
ber of Jyards upon each, and placed
them just at the Wilmington street
entrance, where our customers can
find them during this week. Some
of these remnants contain enough
for a small sized room, while others
have only a few yards. Prices have
been marked in plain figures, and so
low as to be quite interesting for our
patrons. These remnants represent
some of the best grades we have
shown.
