S7U She nemtt a a. RALEIG-H, "M:OITI3.Tr, AUGUST IT, 18Q1 ZLNTO. 98 NEWS NOTES ABOUT THE CITY. What Our Reporters See and Hear Worth Hiving to Our Headers News tu Brief. Flue rain last night. A drunk and down constituted the .lorkpt of the Mavor this lnoruiner. 1 he reports of the various county superintendents of public instruction are being received by Major Finger Mr. M. A. Bowles, of the Seaboard System, has been promoted to i position in the office of the train dis pateher, this city. We hear that seven locomotives were compelled to stand out yester day, for want of round house room at the Raleigh and Gaston Depot. Read the advertisement of Whiting Bros , and then say if you ever saw any better inducements in the shoe line. Gall and make your selections. There will be a regular communica tion of Hiram Lodge, No. 40, this evening at 8:15 o'clock. Brethren of sister lodges cordially invited. Mr. Geo. Pell, of the Chronicle, hap gone to Mt. Airy to take charged the Mt. Airy News. We wish for him the most complete success. There will be perfect order at the exposition grounds on Wednesday night next. Let everybody turn out and have a rousing time. The Switchback railway will be one of the amusement features at the festival at the exposition grounds next Wednesday afternoon. Mr A. A. Woods has accepted a position in the establishment of Mr. Dave Rosenthal where he will be pleased to serve his friends and the public generelly. Mr. Woods is a line salesmen and we congratulate Mr. Rosenthal on obtaining his services. Be sure and not be left tomorrow morning. The excursion to Wilmiug ton will leave the Union Depot at 6 o'clock, but you had better be on hand before that time- to get a good seat. The exposition is booming and is attracting attention from all parts of the country. Already the States of Florida, Georgia and South Oarolin have secured much space, and other.' will rapidiy follow. We regret to hear of the death ot Mr. H. A. Reams, who died at his home in Durham in the 27th year of his age. He was a young man of much promise and greatly beloved by all who knew him. I. R. Branharo, editor Christian In dex. Atlanta, Ga., writes: "I have used Bradycrotine with unfailing, prompt, decided relief." Aug.ll 6t Mr. M. A. Bowes who is on the com mittee on lights for the grand feast at the exposition grounds, has secured all the available lamps and tallow candles in the city. It will be a bright occasion and no mistake. The decision of the electric railway managers to run the road through a porUon of Oberlin and enter the ex position grounds at the eai-t gate is a good one. We think it will un doubtedly prove of advantage to the line in the way of travel and certainly of great convenience to many resi dents of the north western suburbs. There are many summer visitors at Chapel Hill. It is a delightful resort in hot weather, but not more so than Raleigh. If we had such accommoda tions as we should expect for a city the size of Raleigh we would be crowded every season with persons from the north and other parts of the country. October 1st and 2nd has been set for the grand musical festival. It will be a grand prelude to the expo fiition and such an event in the musi cal line as has never taken place in North Carolina. Prof. Pauli has de voted much time and energy to the jnatter, and, we are pleased to learn that the greatest success is antici jpated. That brilliant wedding is coming off tomorrow. Raleigh loses one of her fair daughters, well, such is life W. E. West, who is wanted in Ten nessee for embezzlement, has been caught and is now in jail in Murphy Cherokee county, awaitiDg a requisi tion. According to the cards issued, Mr. Chas. McMillan, of Fayetteville, will wed Miss Hunter Davis, of this city, a. 12:30 o'clock toiuoriow at the res idence of the bride's parents on Oak- wood Avenue., The engagement of Piof. Wingate at the Church of the Good Shepherd, closed yesterday, and it is expected he will go to Baltimore. He has won many friends and admirers during his stay in our city, and there is much re gret at his leaving. Capt. Thos. Stephens, one of Per' eon county's largest and most success ful tobacco farmers, sold nearly 4.C00 pounds of the weed at Milton last Thursday at an average of 20 cents per pound. An important meeting of the Cross Bearers Circle, Kings Daughters, will be held this e yeniDg at 8 o'clock in the Sunday school room of Edenton St church. Every member is requested to be present as business of impor tance will come up for considesation. The portrait of the venerable Wm Hill, who from 1811 to 1857 was Secre tary of State for North Carolina, is now in the State Library. He was father of the late Dr. Hill, of this city, and grand father ol the wife of Treasurer Bain. We are glad to note, that the en gineer in charge of the construction of the new Union Depot, says the work will be completed by December next, although we had hoped that it might be made available for landing passengers by the time the exposition opens. The sear and yellow leaf of the year will soon be upon us, but then we will be cheered by the exposition and oth er events. Raleigh will be anything else but a dull place the coming fall and winter. It should not be forgotten that the writing school of Mr. J. W. Weathers will open tonight in the Hall over the Western Union Telegraph office. Yotmg men. desiring good positions should not' fail to attend. Give in your name to Mr. James E. Bridgers for the course at once. Mr. John W. Jenkins, who for some months has been connected with the Christian Advocate, has accepted the position of local editor of the State Chronicle to succeed Mr. George Pell, who goes to Mt. Airy. Mr. Jenkins is a young man of push and intelligence and we cordially welcome him to the corps editorial. This is the damage and divorce suit season, Every juortnern paper is loaded to the brim, and the infection has reached the South. Philadelphia leads the roll with one $10 000 suit for a crushed hand, one $500,000 for in prisonment of patent, and a $1,500 damage suit against the city. Sao vannah, Ga. brings up the rear with a divorce and damage suit in wealthy circles. Epidemics are the order of the day it seems. Has Gone North.

Mr. Claude A. Sherwood who since 1887 has been in the employ of Messrs. Norris Si Carter and the Morris Dry Goods house, is now in charge of the shoe department of the elegant estab lishment of Mr. D. T. Swindell on Fayetteville street where he will be pleased to see all of his friends and the public generally. Mr. Sherwood is no novice in the business being an "old hand at the bellows." He entered the dry goods establishment of Mr. Alex Creech in 1868, and, from that time until the present with a short interval, he has been almost continually in business. It can be truly said that his name has become a household word in this city in his line. Added to his high character as a man of business, he possesses all those qualities of polite ness and gentlemanly bearing, so necessary to win public favor We can congratulate Mr. Swindell upon securing the services of a gentleman so acceptable to our people.
