A large crowd of dentists passed through here today on their way to Morehead. The convention will be more largely attended than ever be fore. The time will toon be here, when the lads and lassies can enjoy the cool of the evening in Pullen Park. It will only cost a nickel to go out on the street cars. The sanitary officers are on their rounds to day Look out for your premises. If they are not in proper order, it may cause trouble. Be warned. Almost time for the lawn party, watermelon feast and dance at the exposition grounds. It comes off on the 19th, and it is expected to be a grand occasion. The latest addition to the Soldiers Home is a check for $222 35, sent by the ladies of Winston. If our male citizens were equal in energy and liberality to theladies,the ex-Gonfed erate veterans would be far better olf. Mr. Hal. M. Worth has been chosen to succeed the late Mr. T. C. Worth as Treasurer and General Manager of the Worth Manufacturing Com pany, at Worthville. We most sin cerely congratulate our friend "Hal," and know he will fill the "bill" ail right. Gentlemen of the Board of Alder men, have you any control of the matter of the bridge o er the rail road on Hillsboro street 1 If you have, you had better do something about it. The bridge is iiable to fall through any time. If you doubt oui word, appoint a committee to look after it. See if they don't report just as we state it. There will be a meeting of the so liciting committee of the Colored Ag ricultural College at the Mayor's of flee next Monday evening the 10th iust., at 5 o'clock. It is earnestly re quested that all may be present. We are glad to note that the prospects are good for the location of the col lege here. Let all lend a helping hand and all doubts will be dispelled. Please, gentlemen of the Board of Aldermen, don't forget at your meet ing tonight that the market house building needs a coat of paint. Re member, also, that the matter of securing extra police for the coming Inter-State Exposition is to be looked after. It is not in the least too soon to attend to this matter. The ex position will be here before we think of it, and we hould not be caught in an unprepared condition. Mr. A. B. Laforme, Bostt n, 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 There is talk about the street cars running to the exposition grounds in a short time. All right. Glad to hear it. Bat what about the bridge over the R. & G. railroad on Hillsboro St. Should it not be rendered perfectly safe before the street cars are put on? There is neglect about this matter somewhere. It should be attended to, or, perhaps some tine day we may hear of a terrible accident. There is no scare business about this. It is a solid fact. Keep down the weeds and ke p off sickness. Slightly cooler than yesterday, but still very hot. A few more seats in Nash Square would be a great convenience. The matrimonial market is dull. The Register of Deeds is not doing much in the line of issuing licenses. Market well supplied today with fruit and vegetables, aud the prices are low. Look out for George WiUon's greaj minstrel troupe. It will be here on the night of the 15th. The Oxford knitting factory was broken into on Monday night and several articles stolen. There is no clue. Young men's prayer meeting to night at Edenton St. Church. All young men are cordially invited to at tend. Gervices commence at 8:15. A colored, boy named John Jeffreys for dragging a mo rk snake through Haines' old church during service, was lined $5, and cost. The next in order is the mammoth excursion to Richmond which takes place next Wednesday the 12th inst. It promises to be a great occasion. Tha Board of Trustees today elec ted Mr. Carl P. Harrington of Con necticut to till the chair of Professor of Latin at the University of North Carolina. The Lumber River Pair at Red Springs will be held next week com mencing the 12th, and lasting until the 15th. There will be quite a num ber of speeches and the attendance will be very large. Decayed vegetables are dangerous to the public health. None but fresh should be used. Neither should gar, bage be thrown on the streets. The health officers will no doubt report all such. Fab Hunnicutt, a negro trusty was allowed to go to the spring for a buck et of water yesterday at the work house. It turned out that the trusty was not to be trusted. He escaped. There is no business being such "crit ters" as trusties. Keep them until their time is out, and then if they are truMy let them be trusted not be fore All persons raising hay on the side walks should be reminded that such is a perversion of the use of that por tion of the city really, and should take steps to have it removed. We had the pleasure of a call today from Mr. Charles H. Keeshin, Gen'l Agent of the Geo. Wilson minstrels which will appear at Metropolitan Hall on the 15th inst. This company has the reputation of being the best of its kind now on the road, and has the special endorsement of the press in every city in which they have ap peared. A real treat is in store for our people. Off For Washington. Richmond, Va., Aug 7. Special We leave today at 3 p. m., for Washington City. Neil A Spkncb. Notice. Ruth Lodge, No. 4, D. of R., I. U O.

H. & R 8. Tucker & Co This advic is specially given to those who are cod templating matrimony, but every body in general. Sheriff's Settlement. We are indebted to our our most excellent County Treasurer, Louis Lougee, for the information that the balance now due in the matter of set tlement of ex-Sheriff J. Rowan Rogers is $4,103.33. This sum the bondsmen promise to arrange by the 1st Sep tember, subject, of course, to a credit of such money as the sheriQ may in the meantime collect; this statement is based on a report of the County Commissioners, made May 23rd last. It is understood that the sheriff has been requested to turnover his books &c , to the commissioner at the next meeting, so that comparisons may be made. 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 14tli 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 col' ored people. Those who went to Rich mond last August on the excursion run by the Odd Fellows, will reinein ber the nice time and are earnestly requested to wait for Aug. 12, as this promises to be equally as good if not better. For further particulars apply to Maurice Watts and Warren A Al ston, Raleigh, N. C. Look Here. It has been proposed to have a nice ' moonlight festival and lawn party on the exposition grounds on the night ' of the 19th inst. This proposition was made byour energetic friend Mr. A. B. Stronach, and what he saye he will do, he always stands by even when it is of no advantage tc him personally more than to any other citizen. Mr. Stronach held the reins for our 4th of July celebration, and all remember what a great success he made of it. There was a little amount left over, and this will be devoted to the purpose indicated. There should however, be some ou'side help to make the occasion what it should be. We should all remember that such occasions are of benefit to the entire community. Outside of the social features, there is usually brought to gether a considerable crowd, which is a help to the city in a trading point of view. We throw out these sug gestions so that our liberal minded people may consider them. Let all who can, help out. Everybody can do at least something. Call and see Mr. Stronach. He will tell you the situa tion in a "nut shell." Let every one give somethinglso that we can have a great big time. SPECIAL NOTICES.
