A wedding, now soon to occur is absorbing a good deal of attention in a certain section of the city. Things are not only being put into shape in side of the house, but the surround ings are being brightened up. This is as it should be ; a great many peo pie never get married but once, there fore it is an important event in one's life. I. R. Branham, editor Christian In dex, Atlanta, Ga., writes: "I have used Brady crotine with unfailing, prompt, decided relief." Aug.ll 6t Mr. J. J.

A. fusion has been effected in many counties in Louisiana of the Alliance and the anti Lottery Democrats, and it is predicted that the fusion will be State wide. A serious case of poisoning occurred in Rockingham, N. C, by which ten persons suffered. They partook of canned beef and ice cream for sup per. The "cool wave" which is following this one of torrid heat brought torna does to several places in Illinois on Monday afternoon. Raleigh wants the cold wave, but can spare the tor nado. Our city authorities would do well to fix the maximum charges for car riages to the exposition grounds. The electric street railway will not be able to do all the business in this line, and a uniform price for hacks should be fixed. Mr. W. V. Williams has the finest mocking bird in the State, he differs from the majority of mocking birds, inplumage, while as a general rule such birds are speckled, this one is black, and be can imitate the crowing of a rooster to perfection. His Honor, Mayor Badger, has a letter from Bettie Alphon, now liv ing iu Baltimore, Md., inquiring for the whereabouts of James and Ed mond Smith Those interested can get such information as they desire by calling at the Mayor's office. In a few days the first hundred thousand dollars of the direct tax will have been paid back by the State to those to whom it belongs. Very nearly those figures have been reach ed already, and there is hardly any perceptable abatement in the filing of applications. A young colored buck came in yes terday evening with a bridled steer for sale, the police thinking there was something crooked put him through a cross examination which developed the fact that the steer was stolen, the party went after reference and has not returned. Night before last while Mr. C. M Walters was preparing to retire for the night he heard some one rattle the door, he called out to know who it was, and was informed that it was No. 1. In going to see who No. 1 was, he found a big buck negro who stated that he was locking for work. Mr. Walters told him he had better work his way out of the front gate or else someone would have to carry him out. Look out for such tramps. In looking up the Raleigh indus tries the writer dropped in the drug store of Mr. James I. Johnson and found them busily engaged in pack ing and shipping antecephalalgine to various points in this State and Vir ginia. It is becoming more popular every day, and they are pushed to fill orders. Through its merits it is des tided to take the front rank as a headache cure, and we predict before long that Raleigh will have an ante cephalalgia factory that people will point to with pride as this is strictly a (Raleigh) Tar Heelj remedy.

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.
