HEWS NOTES ABOUT THE CITY.
What Our Reporters See and
Hear Worth diving to Our
Reader News iu Brief.
A The weather is still hot with little
assurance of gettiog cooler.
Messrs John M. Smith & Co , are
havincr their nlace of business ou
Exchange place handsomely painted
Special attention is called to the
advertisement of W. C. & A. B. Stron
ach which appears in this issue.
Messrs. Hamill & Hunnicutt are
nushin? forward the work on the
buildings of Messrs. W. H & R S
Tucker & Co. and S. T. Smith.
The electric street cars will be iu
full blast next Monday (17th) in time
for the Stronaeh watermelon feast at
the Exposition grounds.
The ofllce of the Signal Service ob
server at the Agricultural Depart
ment, is being enlarged. The increase
of business in the service has rendered
this necessary.
The overflow of water at the plugs
where the street sprinklers are filled
keeps an ungly place of mud on the
street, which should be avoided if
practicable.
There may have been hotter days
this season, but there has been more
general complaint than we have
heard before.
Mr. James Bairett, an old Federal
soldier, who has been living in our
midst since the war, having becomed
disabled from age, has been sent to
the Soldiers' Home, at Hampton, Va.,
by the Grand Army post at Raleigh.
A large crowd left the city this
morning on the excursion to Rich
mond, there were twelve coaches
which the managers expect to be
filled before they reach the Virginia
capitol.
I. R. Branham, editor Christian In
dex, Atlanta, Ga., writes: "I have
used Bradycrotine with unfailing,
prompt, decided relief." Aug. 11 6t
Register of Deeds Mial bad no ap
plication for marriage license yester
day, but an old darkey gave him a
call and asked him to untie the knot,
by which he was married, stating
that he was utterly disgusted with
married life. He expressed his opinion
that married life was a teetotal failure
(especially in his case )
We are not satisfied about this
bridge business on Hillsboro street
This continual patching up of an old
dilabidated structure, is unworthy a
growing city like ours. We want a
new bridge, and it should be of iron
Nlnettnths of the people of Raleigh
agree with us. Just take a vote on
it, and see if they don't.
Where is there a city or town in
North Carolina, in which a man has
to tramp his feet sore to look after a
house to shelter his family, with the
exception of Raleigh? Don't this
show that our population is increas
ing at a wonderful rate, and don't it
show, also, that some of our financial
citizens are much in their own light
in not investing in such property. It
looks like it.
We heard of a young lad of this
city going in one of our Apothecary
shops on Saturday evening last to
get a milk shake. He found on en
teiing the shop, some young ladies
after milk shakes too, he became con
fused, and instead of asking for his
milk shake, he called for five cents
worth of alum. He got his alum and
left for his home where he delivered
the alum to his mother.
The Railroad Commissioners have
.finished thtir work of assessing the
railroads; and the Auditor has certi
fied to the State Treasurer the am't.
of assessed value and taxes thereon.
There are 68 roads, including some
branches, with two exemption. The
total value is $18,441,048.28, and' the;
- m I
total taxes assessed for general pur
poses and for pensions is $51,568.15, an
increase of about $12,030 over last
year.
Pusiness in all departments hav
been very quiet today.
A good rain is much needed in the
city and also in the country.
The pews for Central Methodist
Church have arrived, and one of the
men will be here in a few days to put
them in the church They were
made by the Globe Manufacturing
Company, of Nortbville, Mich. They
are beauties.
Excursion lo Wilmington.
A grand excursion to the sea coast
will leave Raleigh at 6 o'clock; a. in
on Tuesday the 18th for Wilmington
and returning, leave Wilmington at
7 o'clock, p. m., on Wednesday Aug
19th. Separate coaches for white peo
ule and for colored people. Ladies
will be made perfectly comfortable
Persons goinc on this excursion will
have an opportunity to spend a day
and night at Wrightsville, on the
ocean.
Politics.
Government, when defined in its
simplest form is or should be a com
promise adjustment of the conflicting
interests and inclination of men, for
the mutual good of all. But of late
years it does seem that politics which
is the theory and practic of govern
ment, is run for purposes of party
supremacy almost alone.
Muzzle the Dogs.
Nearly every day we see an account
of people being bitten by mad dogs,
onlv two davs ago two citizen of
Henderson were bitten, and there is
no reason to believe that they will
recover.
In Goldsboro some time since a
young man from this city died of hy
drophobia, having been bitten by a
mad dog, since that time every dog
running at large is required to wear
a muzzle, and we understand that the
authorities of Henderson have ordered
that every dog running at large there
shall be muzzled.
Now let the board of Aldermen of
the city of Baleigh at their mot-ting
next Friday night order that every
dog that is allowed to run at large,
whether taxed or not taxed) be re
quired to wear a muzzle, and if
aught without one on let him be
killed by any one of the police officers,
It is exceedingly dangerous both for
children and grown people to have
such a risk to run as being bitten by
a worthless cur.
A Suggestion.
What is the objection to having the
p r traits of all our Mayors put in the
' temple of justiee" of Raleigh, pro
vided it can be done without cost.
No doubt by a little exertion all of
them for years past could be obtain
ed either from the living or represen
tatives of the dead. Some people
will ask what is the use of it. Well,
just as a matter of municipal pride,
if nothing else. The State Treasury,
the Executive office and all other de
partments of our government pursue
this course. Why not our munici
pality 1 It's a good idea and we
would like to see it carried out. We
North Carolinians need a little spur
ring up on the pride matter. Just a
little, bit of our Virginia cousins'
pride wouldn't hurt at all.

A Growing Business.
Mr. D. T. Swindell came to Raleigh
three years ago, and begau business
on Martin street in a modest way, it
soon became evident that he was a
man of solid business capacity. He
has steadily pushed to the front in
our business community, without ma
king any very special boast about it,
until about the close of the spring
business of the present year, he felt
the need of more and better room as
well as a better location. After qui
etly looking around for one, he fixed
upon the building then occupied by
Mr. S. B. Norris, and formerly known
as Norris & Carter's. Mr. Swindell
concluded this a good location and
forthwith purchased the building and
the lot'running through to Salisbury
street.
He has just completed an extension
to the originally handsome store room
which makes it one of the longest
store rooms iu the city, running
through the square, and fronting on
both Fayetteville and Salisbury St's.
Mr. Swindell's business has increas
ed so rapidly, and has grown to such
an extent that he will add ten more
salesmen to his present force, by Sep
fember, he says.
He proposes to make a specialty of
the carpet business, and will carry
one of the largest stocks of carpets in
the State. He also proposes to open a
strictly firBt class fine Dress Goods
Department, having secured the ser
vices of salesmen thoroughly up in
the fine dress goods b JsineBs . With a
beautiful store room 210 feet long,
and the very many attractions that
Mr. Swindell has added and proposes
to add to his large and varied stock
we predict for him a large business
this fall, and he richly deserves it.

Negligee Shirts.
A Negligee Shirt is one of the most
comfortable garments a gentleman
can have for this hot weather. We
show a very complete line in Batiste,
Madras &c. Now is a good time to
buy all the Negligee shirts you need,
because we have reduced the prices,
and you can buy now for much less
than earlier in the season. In addi-
tion to our regular line of Negligee
shirts, we have those with the sheer
puff bosom, and this puff bosom shirt
is another hot weather comfort.
Remember, Negligee Shirts are now
at closing out prices.

Carpets, Curtains,
Table Damasks,
Napkins. Towels. Sheetings. $c.
Every one who has any prepara
tions whatever to make in thetfine of
house furnishings, should take advan
tage of the opportunity we now offer,
to supply themselves, and not put off
the purchase of these goods until the
last weeks before the Exposition.
Nothing can be gained by putting
off buying carpets, curtains, table
damasks, napkins, towels, sheetings,
pillow cotton, &c, as many of these
goods are now offered at prices lower
than under the old tariff, and if
bought now money can be saved, and
the trouble and inconvenience will be
over before the rush of the Exposi
tion begins.
BLANKETS.
There are a good many of our blank
ets carried over from last season,
which we wish to clear out, before
the new fall stock arrives. Some of
these are solid, but the prices one can
buy them for, will fully recompense
them for taking an article slightly
shop worn.
