The State Treasurer's office is now
one of the most tasty and convenient
ly arranged places of business in the

We hear that work will soon com-
mence in arranging the Adams build
ing for the new Farmers and Com
mercial Bank.
Among a cart load of watermelons
purchased by Messrs. Jones & Powell
this morning, there was one, twc feet
five inches long
Are you ready for the trip to R!ch
mond tomorrow morning V Don't fail
to be on hand. It will be a delight
ful occasion and no mistake.
A look into the Mayor's office these
days, will convince almost anyone
that Raleigh is the most quiet town
in North Carolina. Not even a riille
of excitement.
The Louisburg Times says it was
well done and adds a great deal to
the looks of the edifice. Raleigh
workinon in any line are hard to hp
The annex to the tarboro House
will soon be completed. This, with
the Central and other hotels, will aid
the matter much in the way of taking
care of the crowd at the exposition.
The high water and the fact that
the crops are much in the grass has
operated some against the water
melon trade. There are not so mam
being brought to market as is usual
at this season.
The reserved seat car used last yea)
will be with the excursion that leaves
here tomorrow morning. The train
will leave the depot promptly at 8:06
o'clock. Returning will' leave Rich

Mr. A. B. Laforme, Boston, Mass.,
says: I ordered and distributed one
dozen large bottles of Bradycrotiue
among my friends afflicted with head
ache,and in every case it has afforded
almost instantaneous relief. Aug 4 6t
If we can't get an auditorium, we
ought at least, to have a new station
house. That could be put under he
head of a necessity for the city. Don't
you see ?
This is a most admirable time to be
looking after the sidewalks. In many
places, they are I adly out of repair.
They should be fixed up before the
fall, so that when winter sets in the
usual amount of grumbling will be
dispensed with.
The city ordinance against throw
ing rinds and other garbage on the
streets should be rigidly observed by
our people, and those who have so
little regard for the health of the city
as to violate this ordinance should be
punished to the exit nt of the law. It
is essential to health that the city be
kept clean.
A nice coat of paint on the market
house building would be the most
refreshing sight we know of. The
Board of Aldermen will meet next
Friday night, and we hope they will
take the matter under consideration.
Don't be "penny wise and pound
foolish" gentlemen. We doubt not
you have appropriated money on
several occasions where less necessity
existed. ,
It is said that the Tabernacle church
Sunday school room will be ready for
occupation by the first Sunday in
September. The church will be finish
ed by November. It will be a beauty
Attention is called to the advertise
uient of Mrs H V. Waitt who calls
attention to the stuck of clothing
&c.,uow being offered to the public at
the old stand of D. 8. Waitt. Call
and make your selections.
When the new depot is finished we
will have another clock, and then
when the town clock runs down or
gets wrong for two or three days we
will not be so bad off. This is a self
evident truth.
The increise in the State tax de
rived fr .mi the Railroads at the rate
of 28 cents per $100 will be about
$14,000. It will also be of much ben
elit to the counties through which
the roads run.
The work of decorating the south
eru interstate exposition building
will soon commence under the super
vision of Mr. Leroy Mittelderfer, of
Richmond, Va. He is said to be one
of the best designers and decorators
in the South.
Messrs. Wynne and Spnce when
they started out on the trip this morn;
ing were dressed in the height of bi
cycle riders fashion. They looked
like they meant business.
The County Commissioners went
out to the Poor house to day. To
morrow the case of the Raleigh and
Gaston Railroad vs. the Commission
ers will come up. Col. Hinsdale is
counsel for the road. The commis
sioners will be represented by Mr.
Armistead Jones.
The new well house in the capitol
square is about finished and adds
much beauty to the place. Now let
the old arsenel be torn down and we
will have one of the prettiest parks in
tha at
We saw a farmer today who said he
had a good crop. That is he said he
had firstrate corn and peas, but little
cotton. He saia he waB satished and
he didn't have a lock of hair in his
hand either.
Take your wives and children to
Richmond on the excursion which
leaves for Richmond tomorrow morn
ing; you will never regret it. A Bplen
did chance to see the sights of the
capital of the Old Dominion for a
trifling sum.
The Clerk of the Superior Court, to
day was engaged in giving certificates
to United States pensioners to be
forwarded to Wm. Rule, Knoxville,
Tenn., the pension agent. About
thirty applications were made this
morning.
It was indeed a great oversight
that the drawback in the shape of an
appropriation for an auditorium was
not looked into before the last Legis
lature adjourned. It could be built
in our opinion without costing the
people a single cent provided there
was no constitutional hitch. And
some think, yet, it can be done, but
just how, we are not financiers enough
to know. Can't some of the legal
luminaries of Raleigh put their
heads together and get us out of the
dilemma. ,'
i Raleigh Work.
The contract to paint the Baptist
church, in Louisburg, was awarded
recently to our fellow citizen Mr. S.
V. House, who sent Messrs. Bollock
and Perry, two of our best painters
to do the work.
Rescue Fire Company.
We learn that thiB most admirable
and time honored Company are de
eiroos of procuring new uniforms,
and wish to raise fifty dollars, or
more if necessary for the purpose.
They will soon have out a soliciting
committee to call upon their present
active and honorary members, with a
view to contributions. This company
is one of the oldest in North Carolina.
having been organized in 187(7, and
has seen'a great deal of active service.
We hear that they have never re
ceived any pecuniary aid from the
city, and this is the first occasion in
which they have made a direct ap
peal for help. We sincerely hope that
they may succeed in their enterprise.
Let all give them a helping hand.

A Handsome Compliment.
The Greensboro North State allu
ding to the completion of the Western
N. C. Railroad to Murphy, takes oc
casion to pay our esteemed fellow
citizen, Col. A. B. Andrews the fol
lowing compliment :
The man who accomplishes this re
sult should never be forgotten by the
people of North Carolina. Collect
together all the politicians in the
State over whom the people have
fussed and fumed for twenty five
years past and the sum total of their
labors in behalf of their constituents
would not make a shadow when com
pared with the benefits of North
Carolina and her people to be derived
from the construction of the W. N. C
R. R. by Col. Andrews.
North Carolina may well be proud
of such a citizen. Col. Andrews de
serves the plaudits of the people, and
succeeding years will sing his praises
when they look at the result of his
work, the greatest achievemeni in the
Southern States of money, skill.
brains and energy.
a Raleigh Boy Honored.
Mr. C. M. Weathers, the popular
engiueer of the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway, is in the city
visiting his parents and relatives and
will remain until Aug. 14th, when in
company with his brother, Mr. Kim
W. Weathers and a party of friends,
he will visit the Northern summer re
sorts.
"Luin" has with him one of the
handsomest pins we have seen in a
long time, it is a "B of L. E" pin
beautifully engraved and studded with
diamonds and is extremely attractive
in its appearance. Lum appreciates
and values it very much, as it was
voted to him over several competitors
at a grand pic nic given by the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin
eers of the Savannah, Florida & Wes
tern Railway, and the Central Rail
way of Georgia at Tybee Island Ga.,
July 23rd, and is especially prized by
him as showing the warm fellowship
that exists between him and his bro
ther "Knights of the throttle" in his
adopted home.
