The New York Bargain House will open to morrow. Stock not yet com pleted. New goods arriving daily. Messrs. Barbee & Pope have some of the finest lemons we have seen for a long time. Why not have the weeds on the lot at the north end of McDowell street cut down? There will be a meeting of the board of Aldirmen tonight at 8:30 o'clock, when the widening of the Hillsboro street bridge will be considered. The Walter K. Womble Hook & Ladder Company was oat practicing last night on Salisbury street, in the rear of Briggs' hardware store. A force of hands are at work clear iug the grass off the sidewalks arouud xthe white Deaf and Dumb and Blind Institute. The festival for the benefit of the Brooklyn Methodist Church was such a decided success that the members propose to give another soon. The people claim that they are ueg ligent of their sidewalks, because they have the example set them by the city authorities. How is that for Hi? The Union Mission room -on Wil mington street iB being cleaned up, and will be occupied as a tailoring es tablishment by Messrs. John R. Tay lor & Bon. A force of hands have been busily engaged for a day or two in clearing away the grass and weeds from the sidewalk of the Covernor's Mansion on Blount street. The hot weather of the past few days has had a wonderful effect on the cotton crop, with two cr three weeks more of such weather the crops will improve rapidly. While out practicing with the run ning team of the bucket company, on Cabarrus Btreet last night, a young colored man named Rue, became en tangled in the ropes and was thrown down, the hose cart passing over hi head, bruising him up quite several) Last night about 9:30 o'clock i passiDg Dr. Cordon's residence wi heard some fine singing, and tin thought struck us, was it the "Cross Eyed League" starting out on a grand serenade for that evening. The singl ing was splendid. His honor, Mayor Badger had one Viola Hicks, a dusky damsel before him this morning charged with dis orderly conduct in the market. After hearing the evidence the Mayor im posed a fine of $5 and cost. The CrosB Bearer's Circle, King's Daughters will hold an important meeting on Monday night next in the Sabbath school room of Edenton St. church at 8:15 o'clock. Every member is requested to be present on that oc casion as business of importance will be brought before the Circle. Work on the power house of the electric street railway is being rap idly pushed forward. The two boilers and engines have been placed in po sition, the cars will be run before the ) house is completed. Some person carelessly threw a ba nana pealing on the sidewalk yester day which caused one of our aged cit zens to receive a very dangerous fall. Oar people ought to be more careful and not endanger the limbs of people walking on the streets. I. R. Branham, editor Christian In dex, Atlanta, Gra., writes: "I have used Bradycrotine with unfailing, prompt, decided relief." Aug.ll at Mr. Miller addressed a small au dience at the court house last night on the subject of prohibition. He made many good suggestions and was listened to with much attention. He is a fluent speaker and he handled his subject well. He is a thorough prohibitionist. s ' We hear every day of parties desir ing to rent small cottage houses, there are none to be had in the city. It would pay any of oar cit izenn if they would build several such houses, they could find tenants for them before they were completed. It. (I Springs Fair. Addresses were delivered at the Red Springs Fair today by (iovernor Tillman and Congressman Stack house of South Carolina, and (ijv Holt and Col. R T. Bennett, of our own state. The subject for discus- ion is the financial question. Why Is It? No brick layers or carpenters are to be seen anywhere about the new Union Depot. The work has been suspended for abjut two weeks, while the exposition opening is only about a month and a half off. This unne cessary retarding of the work does not show much local pride or public spirit, on the part of somebody. The depot is badly needed and should be completed as early as possible. The public are restive and nervous under any delay. Positively the Last Excursion This Season to Wilmington. The grandest excursion of the sea son will be run to Wilmington on Tuesday, Aug. 18th. The round trip will only be $2.50, so cheap that most anybody can go. Many attractions at and around Wilmington will be seen by the visitors. The train will leave Raleigh at 6 o'clock, a. m , and arrive at Wilmington at 12 m. Prof. Miller's Silver Cornet Band will fur nish music for the occasion on the boat trom Wilmington, to the Ham" mocks. By all means go and see the sights. This is Clever. We are in receipt of the following for which we tender thanks. "The Winston-Salem Young Men's Chris tian Association makes its best bow to the members of the North Carolina Press Association and bids them a double and twisted welcome and wishes them a most pleasant stay in "The Young Man's Town of the South."

It cannot be possible that our Board of Aldermen will permit Hillsboro street to be longer ruined by the present unsightly bridge, one third narrower than the street, to exist over the railroad crossing. The bridge now there has blocked the street during the State Fair for years be cause there was only one loadway on t. We will now have the electric railway tocro s it a i all the Vehicles coming aud going, and the bridge should be the width of t'ie nfvfet with two r i n wa r 'jver it.
