NEWS NOTES ABODT THE CITY,
What Our Reporters See and
Hear Worth Giving to Our
Readers News in Brief
Charley Lambeth is pushed to the
"thumb latch" calculating taxes.
The grape season is now fully in
blast, and hundreds of baskets are
being shipped daily.
Regular meetiDg tonight in Bible
class room of Edenton Street church
of the Epworth League. Every mem
ber requested to be present.
It is hoped that work on the Bap
tisc Tabernacle will be finished so far
as to allow its occupancy in a few
weeks. Rains have badly interfered
with progress recently.
Wm. G. Hill Lodge, No. 218, A. F.
and A. M. will meet in regular com
munication this evening at 8:15
o'clock. Visiting brethern invited.
Work in the fellow craft.
We notice that there is a general
commendation of the course of Gov.
Holt in the matter of taking the di
rect taxes for any other purpose than
that for which it is intended. Gov.
Holt is "strictly business," and no
mistake.
Mayor Badger put on a serious look
this morning and told a party of
youngsters who had been disturbing
the peace, that he intended to have
order in Raleigh at all hazards. He
said be was going to tight it out on
this line, and no mistake. He means
business.
It is the current rumor here, that
Mr. Ben King, a well known comnier
cial traveler and a Raleigh boy, has
professed conversion and will soon
start out as an evangelist. Success
to him.
Up to noon today there had been
about twenty two hundred warrants
issued on the treasury for direct taxes,
amounting to over $50,000. There
seems to be very little if any decrease
in the number of applications as they
are coming in by every mail.
The Mayor's levee was attended
this morning by a crowd of young
sters who were charged with using
profane language yesterday after,
noon, in Brookside Park. They wnn
sent to the station house for awhile
Can't the street railway coinpam
push up matters so that the cars can
run to the exposition grounds by
August 19th; this will be a splendid
time to make the first trip. Thous
ands would take advantage of it, and
the road would start off amid a per
fect "boom."
It has been decided that the elec,
trie street railway will enter the ex
position grounds at the south gate on
the Hillsboro road, and not at the
east gate' as has been supposed. Just
how the road will get into Pullen
Park has not, so far as we can ascer
tain, been determined.
There are several persons in the
city who desire to rent houses suit
able for small families, but none can
be obtained. We know a gentleman
who is in business in Raleigh, but is
compelled to let his family remain in
Durham simply because he connot
rent a house here. This is too bad.
Let us have more builders. A regular
bonanza is in store for them.
Mr. N. B. B.rbughlon, who, it looks
like, is never satisfied, unless he is
engaged in something for the good of
humanity took up the collection at
the annual meeting of the Trustees of
the Thomasville Orphanage recently.
Over $500 was secured. If he could
spare the time from his business be
would be "the right man in the right
place" to look after the contributions
to the Baptist Female University.
We wish it was so that he could en
ter on the business, not that we wish
to draw any invidious comparisons,
but because we deem him peculiarly
fit to secure the desired end.
Don't dispute with your wife when
she tells you she gets the best Eger
ton snuff at C. O. Ball & Go's.
The wire fence around Mo, re
square was not put there to sit upon.
Don't forget this, or the police may
make you remember it to your cost.
What arc our people doing about
the colored Agricultural and Mev
chanical College ? Are we to let this
chance slip V a large meeting will be
held in Wilmingtou next Thursday to
consider the matter. Other towns
are making exertion. What are we
doing?

A full set of this great work can be
seen at the Visitor office. It is not
an abridgment but a reprint of the
entire 25 volumes of the great Edin
burg ninth edition. It can be bought
for about one sixth the cost of the
English edition. Call and examine it.
Try us on prices, we'll astonish you.
Superintendent McMakin's new
rock crusher is here and we have no
doubt he will proceed to make the
best use of it possible. Now is the
time to put the roads in order, so
that when the bad weather sets in
next winter they will be all right.
His recent work on the Hillsboro
road is very creditable.
Prof Pauli is busy as a bee getting
ready for the grand musicale to take
place just prior to the opening of the
exposition. It will be a most won
derful musical event. Just think of
it. An orchestra of 28 pieces. It will
be huge, and no mistake.
The excitement increases as the day
for the great festival at the exposition
grounds, approaches. It is going to be
the great' event of the season and no
mistake. "Alec" Stronah is reserv
ing his fire, and won't tell all he
knows at present, but he will "let the
cat out of the bag soon" and paralyze
the natives.
Mr. W. H. J. Goodwin, one of Wake
county's well known farmers, has
had a patent applied for on his new
invention in the way of a cotton chop
per. He is confident of the complete
success of his invention and declares
he would refuse $10,000. When the
patent is received he intends giving a
barbecue and at the same time ex
hibit the workings of the invention.
Is it sensible ? Is it reasonable? Is

Wait for the grand excursion to run
Aug. 12 by Hope for All Lodge, 2645,
Grand United Order of Odd Fellows,
to Richmond and returning 14th over
the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad.
Fair for round trip $2:50.
Special arrangements will be made
for ladies and children. Special cars for
white people and special cars for col1
ored people. Those who went to Rich
mond last August on the excursion
run by the Odd Fellows, will remem
ber the nice time and are earnestly
requested to wait for Aug. 12, as this
promises to be equally as good if not
better.

The Curtains and Carpets.
Every housekeeper should not for
get that an opportunity is now offer
ed to buy fine carpets and curtains at
lower prices that they can be bought
a little later on. These are goods we
wish sold before the new fall stock
arrives patterns of carpets that can
not be duplicated, and odd pairs of
curtains, all taken from the regular
stock upstairs, and shown just as you
enter the Wilmington street door. In
the lot are Moquette, Brussels, Vel
vets and Ingrain Carpets, Cheneille
Curtains and Portieres and Lace Cur
tains. We have been doing all we
expected with this sale, and there
now remains values as good as we
first offered.

have more to say on the subject here
after.
By Trading at One of Them.
If you take advantage of the clos
ing out sales at both of Swindell's
stores you will act wisely. There is
no kind of doubt about Swindell sell
ing goods at prices much lower than
any other merchant in Raleigh. The
Norris stock was bought at a big sac
rifice and this stock Swindell is sell
ing at what it cost. Swindell stock
at the Big Racket store is also being
sold at actual cost and will continue
till the Racket store is moved to Nor
ris & Carter's old stand.
Four ladies with good experience
in selling dry goods can get situations
and good salary at Swindell's new
store. Apply by mail.
D. T. Swindell.
Died.
Mr. Geo Taylor, an old citizen of
this city, died at his residence on
New Berne avenue Saturday after
noon. Mr. Taylor was widely known
and enjoyed the reputation of being
a man of the highest sense of honor.
He had a noble heart full of generous
impulses. For several years be had
been afflicted with blindness and
other infirmities. No man in Raleigh
ever had more of the "milk of human
kindness," and there are many who
deeply regret to hear of his decease.
His funeral took place yesterday
afternoon from his residence. May
he rest in peace.
An Interesting Address.
It is very creditable to the colored
people that they are taking such in
terest in the Iuter State Exposition.
