HEWS NOTES ABOUT THE CITY.
What Our Reporters See Md
Hear Worth Hiving to Our
Headers News in Brief.
A good deal of dew and a right
tinart due fell due today.
See notice of land bale by S. F.
Mordecai commissioner.
There was nothing whatever of in
terest in the way of news at the May
or's office today.
Bad weather on the old veterans at
Wrightsville, but, then they will be
well taken care of all the same.
And it rained, and it rained, and it
rained. It poured, and it poured,
and it pcured. And still nobody is
happy.
The rain is seriously interfering
with the shipment of grapes, and it ie
also feared that it will increase the
rot. This is much to be regretted.
Terrible day for newspaper men te
gather up news. They are expected,
however, to print it, whether it takes
place or not.
There will be a meeting of the
Young Mens Christian Association at
the First Presbyterian Church Sua
day School room tomorrow afternoon
at 5:30 o'clock.
We hear that the newly appointed
State Geologist is I usy in his inves
tigations, in the western counties and
will have a tine selection no dout in
readiness fir the coining exposition.
The Kaleigh Building and Loan
Association started out today under
favorable auspices. It is under the
control of some of our mosteirter
pricing citizens and its succets is
beyond doubt.
The street car line would have been
almoBt completed, so far as laying
rails were concerned, to Temple's
store, on the Hillsbf ro road, today,
but for the rain, which much impedes
the work in all its branches.
Don't forget the grand excursion to
Richmond next Wednesday. Remem
ber, it is the best chance you will
have to see the sights of the capital
of the Old Dominion for some time to
come. It will be a most enjoyable
oc -asion, and the cost is trifling Ge
ready and go. You will never regret
it.
Rev. James H. Cordon, pastor M. E
church, Wilson, N. C, says: I have
used Bradycrotine and never in a
single instance failed to obtain imme
diate relief from headache when di
rections were followed. jy28 0t
Large additions in the way of
curiosities have been for several years
accumulating at the State Museum,
and now there is no more interesting
place in the city. No stranger should
leave Raleigh without paying it a
visit. Mr. T. C. Harris, the Curator
will take pleasure in showing all the
sights, in his usual courteous manner.
Don't forget that WiU Wynne and
Neil A. Spence will start from the
north door of the capitol next Mon
day morning at 5 o'clock on a wheel
tour to the northern and New Eng
land States. If the weather permits
we hope there will be a crowd to see
them off. The Visitor hopes to
have regular bulletins of the progress
of the trip.
This has been a genuine set back
day in the way of business. There
were very few co untry people in the
city, as compared with Saturdays
generally, and the merchants are not
as jubilant as usual. From early in
the morning there has been almost a
continual fall of rain, and outside
work has been at a stand still.
We have heard nothing lately
about the erection of a new hotel on
the premises knowu as the "Tucker
lot." recently occupied by Mr. J. B
Batchelor. We hope the idea has not
been abandoned. It would surely be
one of the best sites in the city for a
first class hotel, situated, as it is,
near the new Union Depot. It would
eem to be a paying investment.
The pensioners camp at Wrights
ville broke to day.
Supervisor McMackiu will soon be
at work cutting down the hill just
this side of the exposition grounds.
There an' now two objective points
in prominent i,--.v-the Baptist Uni
versity aud the colored Agricultural
College. Raleigh ought to secure
both beyond doubt, if the proper ef
fort is made. So far as the Universi
ty is concerned that should be a fore
gone conclusion. All we have to do
is to do what we promised to do, and
that ought to be easy enough to do,
if we do right.
Sheriff Page told us to day, that he
had no doubt about the matter of the
merchants purchase tar being ar
ranged. He thought that the mrch
ants would Anally agree to pay the
tax, especially as in case there shouldj
be any reversal of opinion by the Su
preme Court, the tax would be re
turned We are glad to hear this be
cause we know our merchants want
to do whatever is right in the premises.
State Tobacco Association.
The rates offered by the Richmond
aud Danville Railroad Company for
the tbove association at Morehead
City, are opened to all, whether mem
bers of the association or not. The
tickets will be on sale August 3rd. 4th
and 5t.h; good returning until and in
cluding August 20th. Remember that
the round trip rate from Raleigh to
Morehead is $4 40.
Mr. Orrin Smith, whoa short time
since was stricken with paralysis,
died at his residence, corner of Har
gett and Blood worth streets, yester
day afternoon at 0:50 o'clock, aged 68
years. .
Mr. Smith was a brother in law of
Messrs. N. B. and J. M. Broughton of
this city, and, was at one time a lead
ing merchant in Raleigh. He was an
exemplary Christian and was held in
very high esteem by a large circle of
friends. We extend our most heart
felt sympaty to his bereaved widow
and family connections. The remains
will be taken to his old home in the
lower edge of Wake, where the fun
eral services will take place tomorrow
afternoon. The funeral escort will
leave the house at 10:30 a. m.
A Kemarkable Experience.
A gentleman stated today in the
Visitor office, that he had never
been confined to his bed by sickness
a day in his life; that he had never
had headache nor took a dose of med
icine. He is 58 years old.
His is a very remarkable case of
exemption from the ills of this life.
What is a Gentleman ?
There are a great many answers to
that question, but the best is Dave
King's. A gentleman is a he man,
that goes on the big excursion A ugust
5th. A lady is a shk man who goes
with him. Special cars for whites,
special cars for colored, and perfect
order will be preserved. Don't forget
that.
Resignation and Appointment, j
Mr. Joe. G. Brown, Grand Repre-'
sentative to the Sovereign Grand
Lodge of Odd Fellows, has resigned,
as he found that he could not con
veniently attend the next session at
St. Louis on account of his duties as
cashier of the Citizens' Bank. Mr. C.
B. Edwards has been appointed to
fill the unexpired term
Personal mention.
O. D. Strickland, of Durham, is in
the city.
We are pleased to learn that, the
condition of Mr. W. T. Mabry has
much improved.
Dr. G. W. Blacknall has again put
in his appearance to the delight c f a
vast number of his admirers.
Resignation.
The Wilmington Messenger of yes
terday says:
"CoLF.A. Olds, Quartermaster Gen
eral North Carolina State Guards.has
resigned, to take effect after his pres
ent duties have been discharged. The
State Guard and the public will re
gret to learn this. Col. Olds has teen
a most active and efficient officer."
We deeply regret that the State
Guard will lose the services of Col.
Olds. He has indeed been a most ef
ficient officer, and not only so, but he
took special pride in the discharge of
his duties which, at times, have been
quite heavy. We have reason to
think that his private duties demand
all of his attention, and hence he
deemed it to his interest to retire.
Our best wishes attend him in what
ever sphere he may enter. He is one
of our most useful, reliable and ener
getic citizens.

Weather Crop Bulletin.
The report for the week ending
yeEterday afternoon is quite unfavor
able, so far as the entire State is con
cerned. The weather has continued
cloudy with constant rains. In the
western district, however, the weath
er has been warmer and the rain fall
not so heavy.
The following are the conditions of
the crops iff the State at large for the
past week:.
Cotton 76; corn 84; tobacco 87.
The following are the rainfalls rev
ported: Weldon, 1.03; Wilmington,
2.54; Gibson, 1.50; Smithfield, 3 20;
Asheville, 1.00; Salisbury, 5.78; Oak
Ridge, 1.61; Raleigh, 1.90.
Eastern district Cotton 77; corn 82;

tobacco 85; 53 reports received rep
resenting 22 counties
Western district Cotton 76; corn

Fair condition, 70 to 80
Poor condition under 70
Preparations for the Imposi
tion. Are you going to take hoarders, or
will you simply have some friends to
entertain during the exposition? In
either event you will likely require
some housef urnishings, carpels.sheet
ings, pillow cottons, counterpanes,
table damasks, napkins, towels, Sic.
Our buyer is just back from the
Northern markets, and we have just
in, bran new stock in this line
bought for cash diirin? the dull sea
son in New York, aud those who will
buy no v cau save money. If you will
have to buy a carpet, buy it now
have it put down and let the trouble
be over. We have a lot of passed
patterns which we will sell less than
it cos to make them, aand beside
these we have a magnificent line of
new carpets at lower prices t han later
on.
W. H & R 8. uckkr & Co.
Fresh California pears, oranges,
lemons aud bananas at A Dugbi's.
Porter wanted by Julius Lewis &
Co. Parties applying must have
good recommendations.
The Union Depot.
We hope that very effort possible
will be made to have the new Union
Depot so far completed as to allow
the stopage of trains there during the
exposition. We must think that the
stranger entering Raleigh at the
present depot, cannot be very favor
ably impressed with the surround- J
ings, and, we all know that the first
impressions upon entering a city go a
long way. The new Union Depot will '
be situated, as it were in a most select
part of Raleigh. A stranger landing j
there, must be struck favorably with
the beauty of Nash square, and, he
will thus begin at once, to feel, that i
oure is a fair city to dwell or sojourn '
in. There will be many people here
during the exposition from a dis
tance, and they should be allowed to
come and eo with the best iinpres
sions. Let the work be hurried up
Wait for the grand excursion to run

for ladies and children. Special cars for
white people and special cars for col
ored people. Those who went to Rich
mond last August on the excursion
run by the Odd Fellows, will reiueni
ber the nice time and are earnestly
requested to wait for Aug. 12, as this
promises to be equally as good if not
better.

Swindell's Carpet Sale.
The special sale of carpets at Swin
dell's store on Fayetteville street to
day has created quite a flurry. Many
entire patterns were taken out this

and there is plenty left for you. If
you are to fix up an extra room for
the exposition you will do well to get
a carpet from Swindell's tomorrow.

pieces, as follows: 22 yards covers a
room 12x16, and pieces to cover rooms
10x12 and 15x15, &c. And these rem
