Tins speass wen iui mm-jmhw
nientB now going on in Raleigh,
which far exceed any time in its
history.
We clip the following from the Dai
ly Register of Columbia, S. C, of
J une 3U, Dy request :
DEATH OF AN INFANT.
Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Deal had the
misfortune to lose their infant son on
Sunday afternoon, and it was buried
yesterday morning, the funeral servi
ces beiDg performed by Rev. E. A.
Wingard. In their sad affliction they
have the sincere sympathy of their
many friends in Columbia.
Mr. and Mrs. Deal have relatives
and friends in this city who sympa
thize with them in their affliction.
Mr. M. A. Murray, Wilmington,Del.
writes: "I had one of my severe head
aches and 'vas persuaded to try your
valuable (Bradycrotine) medicine. I
never had anything to do me so much
good." 3-8 6t.
There is portion of the road leading
south from the city left in a bad con
dition. The work house hands worked
the entire road except about a hun
dred yards which it is understood the
city is to fix.' It should be attended
to at once, as we learn the place is
very rough, so that vehicles cannot
pass without, in some cases being in-pored.
Speelal Meeting Rescue Com
pany. A special meeting of Rescue Fire
Company will be held tonight. Mem
bers take notice. By order of the
Foreman
Lawu Party Tomorrow Night
Don't forget that the young ladies
of the Tabernacle Sunday School
will hold a lawn party at corner of
Wilmington and Davie streets to
morrow night. An evening of pleas
ure may be spent and a worthy
ocdertaking encouraged.
Oakwood Cemetery.
We hope that the proposition of
Mr. R. H. Battle, President of the
Raleigh Cemetery Association, to
erect a chapel at Oakwood Cemetery
will meet with a hearty response at
the hands of our people. It will be
a much needed improvement and the
cost, estimated at only $2,000, will be
small in view of the advantages to
be derived.
iw.i.niii mi i
lon College.
It is a source of pride to North
Carolinians generally, no less than to
the Christian denomination, that
this most excellent institution is en
joying great success. At the recent
session, which was its first, there
were one hundred and thirty-seven
students; a considerable increase is
anticipated next term. The faculty
is one of the best in the State, and
the course of instruction admirable.
The Musical Festival.
There is much preparation on foot
for the musicale to take place in this
city October 1st and 2d. The musical
director is Mr. A. Pauli, well known
as a leader in his profession. Most of
the cities and towns of North Caro
Una will be represented, and it is
expt cted to surpass any attempt of
the kind ever made in the State.
Filthy Sidewalks.
If we are not going to htve paved
sidewalks we can at least keep them
clean. In a stroll over the city yes
terday we were shocked to find how
lilthy some of them are. On Fayette
ville street, in some places, a lady
could not walk without soiling her
dress, and on almost every street in
front of some private house we
noticed a want of attention.
If not done oftener we do hope
that everybody will see that their
sidewal! s are cleaned off every
Saturday afternoon.
A Boom.
The Raleigh correspondent, of the
Charlotte Democrat, has the follow
ing cheering intelligence about our
city:
"It is not claiming too much for
Raleigh to say that it is not often
given to what maybe termed "spas
modic booms." Since the war it has
pursued the even tenor of its way,
gradually increasing in population
and business importance. During
the past month or so however, it has
taken a sudden jump, and is now en
joying a veritable boom, especially in
the matter of real estate. On the
surburbs, noticeably, is this discern
able, and it has its origin in thero
posed extension of the electric rail
way. Real estate in the immediate
vicinity of the city cannot be ob
tained except at fancy prices, while
in the city proper, houses for the acs
commodation of small families are
very difficult to get, except at unusual
rent. Business, too, is rapidly on the
increase. A new bank will go into
operation on or about the 1st of Sep
tember, and the Caraleigh cotton
mills, in the southern skirts of the
city, will be ready for work when the
new crop commences to come in. We
look for a population of no less than
forty thousand by the end of the
next decade, and this is no extrava
gant prediction."
Ruin Won't Prevent the Grand
Bicycle Tournament.
The most interesting amateur
entertainment ever given iu Raleigh
will be given tonight at Stronach's
warehouse fiom 8:30 to 10:30 or 11. ,
There will be a large number of ,
wheels in the opening grand march, j
and the expert and fancy cycling of
Capt. Wynne and his trained and
athletic cyclers will be immense.
AfterwardB the grand exciting prize
tournament.
W. C. T. U. Convention.
The eighth annual convention of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
(Tnion of North Carolina will be held
at Durham commencing next Monday
and continuing three days. The ad
dress of welcome will be delivered by
Mrs. J. K. Barney, superintendent of
prison work for the world's W. C.
T. U. On Friday an address will be de
livered by Mrs. Lathrop, of Michigan.
It is expected that the attendance
will be very large.
The Tournament.
The following is the programme of
the great bicycle tournament to take
place at Stronach warehouse tonight.
1st. Grand march of the Club and
visiting wheelmen.
2nd. Messrs. Wynne and Woodall
in wonderful contortion acts.
3rd. Fancy riding of members of the
Club, which will be great.
4th. Mr. Will Wynne will have the
floor.
5th. Grand Prize Tournament, af
tar which prizes will be awarded.
This is an excellent programme
and numbers 2, 3, 4 and 5 wi'l be
specially fine.
The admission is only 23 cents 10
cents for children. There wi'l be a
parade on Fayetteville street this af
ternoon at 6 o'clock.
The Colored A. and M. College
JNo town or city in all this country
has a more respectable, honorable
and deserving population of colored
people than we have here in Raleigh.
Nor can there be found a greater pro
portion of them that are intelligent
and progressive.
All these healthy conditions are
due largely in our judgment to the
fact that we are so well supplied with
schools and colleges for the colored
people. There is just one missing
link, and has been through all these
years of their freedom, and that is a
school of practical, technical train
ing.
If 25 years ago there had been es
tablished a school for the teaching of
sewing, cutting, fitting, cooking,
laundering, &c, for the women and
carpentry, drawing, blacksmithing,
mechanics, practical business, &c . for
the men, we should find ourselves
surrounded by a class of laborers and
helps that would greatly aid the de
velopment of this section of the corn-try.
The proposed establis'.inont of the
Colored Agricultural and Mechauical
College is right. The Trustees are to
meet iu this city next month to re
ceive propositions and locate the in
stitution. Raleigh ows it to its color. 1 citi
zens and to itself to eecfjr this eoN
lege if possible, it mea ns more for
our city than it could for any other in
the State. We bwiieve it is of the
highest importance to the colored
people of the state that it be located
here. But the Trustees will couMiler
our advantages provided we make ;i
liberal offer to secure it, and not oth
erwise.
A committee of worthy colored
men are out securing subscriptions
and every citizen should encourao
and help them.
Let's have the Colored A. & M. Col
lege at Raleigh.
Let all who desire an eveumg of I
enjoyment go to the entertainment
at Stronach's warehouse to night, j
The Capital Cycle tournament will be j
a rare treat. Only 85 cents admis
sion ; children 10 cents.
The Postofllco.
The bulletin board of the postofTice
and of Wake county court hou6o
show an advertisement bv the post
master invitiug sealed proposals for
carrying th mails between the pout
office and the Union depot of thin
city ; to be filed with him on or he
tore July 25, 1891.
Now let everybody who want a
contract take note of the terms an
conditions and make their proposals
so low as to be reasonable and so
high as to be just, and may the best
man win.
