r She tiemtt Ut0ttet VOL RIj-EIOKQ:. MIOasrJD-T, TJG-TJST 3, 1891 86 NEWS NOTES ABOUT THE CITY, What Our Hcporters Hvv and Hnar Worth Giving to Our Readers New a iu Uriel'. Not an item of interest could be gleaned at the Executive office today. A caae of drunk in the market wau liued $7.25 by the mayor this morn ing. Outside of this, the usual Mon day's levee did not amount to much. Lots of people were kept away from the city last (Saturday on ac count of the rain. In some cases bridges have been swept away and in others the water is too high to ford. It ib said tha.tj at the old soldier's eucampment, three counties were claiming the handsomest widower, the most gallant bachelor and the homeliest married man in ca.mp. The bondsmen of ex-sheriff Rogers were before the county commissioners today endeavoring to arrange mat ters. It is understood that an adjust ment satisfactory all around will be effected. Litchford Encampment, No. 2ti, I O. O. P-, will hold its regular meeting to-night at 8 o'clock. Every member should be on hand, as it is an itupor tant meeting. Visiting brethren are cordially invited. Mrs. Anna Q. Prairie, widow of the late Joseph P. Prairie, of this city, was recently married in Richmond Va., to Mr. Strudwick formerly of Auburn, Wake county. An old oak tree of very large size standing in the north end of the capitol Square opposite the residence of Maj. Vass, was cut down today. It was badly decayed. A slight change in the schedule of the North Carolina Raihoad has taken place. The train going west iu the afternoon now arrives here at 5:20 and leaves at 6. A peep in at the expositou grounds reveals a regular, "busy bee club." The work of preparation is going on all around. By the time the exposi tion opens it will be a beautiful locality in every particular. The Tobacco Convention will be held at Morehead City next Wedues day, the 5th instant. It is a mattei of utmost importance, and we hope there will be a large attendance from Raleigh. In addition to business there will be any amor.nt of fun such as Ashing, boating &c. The Stearns Manufacturing Com pany of Philadelphia, has received the order to build the engine for run ning the machinery at the Mechanical department of the Agricultural Col lege. It will be an automatic high speed engine. Would it not be well to have the seats in Metropolitan Hall re ar ranged by the time the exposition commences.' About the centre of the hall it is rather difficult, at times to see the stage. There should also be some new scenery put in. In the absence of an auditorium we should put on the best appearance possible. There are still a large amount of old bonds unexchanged, and the State Treasurer says he rarely has an offer. He does not know where they are although he has made ef forts to find out. The act extending the time for funding will expire next July, and it is not of course known whether the Legislature will extend it or not. Rev. James B . Cordon, pastor M. E. ojurch, Wilson, N. C, says: I have ued Brady crotiue and never in a shgle instance failed to obtain imme diate relief from headache when di teftions were followed. jy28 6t Agentlemanfrom that section told . us Ulay that Middle Creek is higher thaoever known by the "oldest in habitint." He says that the dam of Alfort'B mill pond is washed away, and tkt the bridge over Swift Creek on whit is known as the "Rhamkatte Road" i gone. We hear of numerous other bldges in different parts of the county Mug swept away. uettlng Keady. Nearly all the towns in the State are getting ready for the big lire incus tournament iu Durham. Be sides the prizes iu mouey to be given the fastest reel team, a silver trumpet will be awarded. Let the Raleigh boyB fix to get it. DMthorMr.T. C. Worlh. We deeply regret to hear of the death of the above named geutleman which took place at Greensboro, this uiorniug at o'clock, from pueu mouia. Mr. Worth was ;t son of ex Treasur er Worth and was held iu the highest esteem by a large circle of relatives and friends with whom we deeply sympathize. The remains were taken to Ashboro, Randolph county, for interment. Tlic Great Occasion. Remember, next Wednesday is the day on which the great excursion to Richmond will start, and everybody should now make up their minds about going. It will be an enjoyable trip and no mistake, and all who par ticipate may expect a splendid time. Let it be understood, that Messrs. Lacy, Sherwood and King have made every arrangement for the comfort qf all who go. Let there be a good time generally. Scholarships. Applications for scholarships at the Uuiversity must be made before the 15th inst., to the President George T. Winston, Chapel Hill. The appli cations must be in the hand of the applicants which must state the re cord of the applicant as a scholar, his liuancial status, if he is of age.the age of h's lather, or if he is a minor, and what has been doing for the past year. The applications must, in all cases, be accompanied by written endorse ments of responsible parties, stating that the parties applying need tican cial aid, and deserving. An endorse ment by the County Superintendent of Education or by the County Com missioners will be sufficient. Nicely Fitted Up. The Central Hotel on the corner of Wilmington and Hargett streetB, re ceutly opened by our friend Mosely, is really an attractive house now. It has been refitted and nicely furnish ed and makes as comfortable and at tractive a home for the way faring man as any to be found in this sec tion. The building has been repaint ed inside and the walls freshened up, and water andBewerage run through the building, so that friend Mosely with the large high pitched rooms he has can furnish as much solid comfort in hot weather as can be found gen erally. The traveling public will do well to go and see him. Raleigh has several hotels now. Who will open up next ? Mortuary Report. We are indebted to Mr. A. L Fer rell, Clerk and Registrar of the Board of Health for. the following : DEATHS IS THE CITY. White males 5 Colored males 6 " females!)

New fire alarm boxes are being placed on the oorner of Polk aud North East street; one on the corner of Swain and East Hargett streets; one on the corner of West South and South Harrington street, one on the corner of Saunders and West Jones streets. The box now located at the oorner of South East aud East Har gett streets will be removed to East Hargett and South . Blood worth streets. In this connection it is not out of place to say that no better lire de partment exists iu the South than that of Raleigh. It has been many years since we have had anything like a serious conflagration, and our city can well be said to be a bonanza to the fire insurance companies.

An excursion has been auuouuced to run from Washington City on August 6th, to Niagara Falls; this will only cost $10 for the round trip from Washington and return. Now this is a glorious chance for persons from Raleigh to visit the great falls at very low rates. Just purchase a ticket to Richmond on the excursion which leaves here next Wednesday morning. This will take you to Rich mond for only $2.50. You arrive in Richmond on the evening of the 5th, and cau go on to Washington for a very small sum. Do you see the point ? The entire trip can be taken for a small amount. Get ready and go, you will never regret it. Now is a chance such as will not happen again in many years. lee.

Mr. I Winetrob having assigned to me for the benefit of his creditors, this is to give notice to all parties in debted to him to call and settle at once. M. Rosenthal, jy80 2w Trustee. Poor Prophets. An exchange has the following : "Last winter and spring, when the rain was falling almost every day, and the streams were full and farm work was checked, and everybody had the blues and all such, then it was that nearly everybody were mar king prophecies about the summer seasons. Every one declared that it would be dry, and that crops would perish for water. They argued, and it was good stuff, too, that so much rain on the average fell each year, and that if it came in the winter in great quantities it could not be ex pected in the summer. You see how ithasbeen, do you not? Up to this time in the history of this country there has been an average amount of rainfall each year. This year already there has been more water to fall than during the previous year. We may expect to see a very dry fall or a terribly dry summer in 1892. But then a prophet is not without honor save in his own country, or words to that effect. Celery Plants. I White Plume, Golden, Helf Blanch ing. Large, white, solid, strong plants i 50c per 100. H.
