The annex to the Yarl oro House it rapidly approaching completion. It is stated that the n- I iraiers and Merchants Bank of Uui city will open early in September. Robinson's big circus with hippo drome attached is expected here in October. Clean up your back yards and keen them so.

The flremeiiB tournemeut in Dur hain next week -Let our Raleigh h get ready. Several of onr merchants wiii go North next week and soon the busy season will be on us. Chicken and garden thieve are be ginning to make their raids Look out for them. . Read the announcement of the New York Bargain House. The bottom has been reached in bargains. The case of Mr. Zeb i-oles, who had the difficulty with L. A Emory, has been postponed until Saturday. It is hinted that a wtuhhy citizen of Durham will toon give a very large sum to Trinity College. It is hinted that W ash Duke is the liberal do nator. Several parlies fracas last night Don't forget the lawn party to be given at the residence ot itev. ur. Cordon next Thursday night by the Cross Bearers of the Kings Daughters. The public invited. A good time may be expected. J There st'oni to he an erroneous im pression relative to the admission to the exposition grounds on tomorrow night to attend the watermelon fes tival. We are authorized to state that no special invitalion is necessary as the occasion is open to all the white citizens of this city and viciLity. Let there be a large crowd. If the old lady from the country, who was selling eggs at 7 A cents per dozeu yesterday, will call around, we can tell hex where she can get 8 cents per dozen and her snuff thrown in. W really think she has not been to town in sometime. We understand she sold two an a half dozen of eggs, half peck of tomatoes and a half gal lon ot onions an ror za ceuis. for engaging in a were fined $10.25 each by the in tyor this morning. JNo bones were broken, however, and the fuss, after all, was "much ado about nothing." The Supreme Court wiil meet on Monday, tepteiuber 28th. On the Friday and Saturday preceding, ap plicants to practice law will be ex a mined. It is thought that the case of the merchants' purchases tax will be taken up early in the session. The store belonging to Mr.S.Smith, on the north side of the market square, is being rapidly finished. The front is of iron and is made to resein hie grunite. It is of beautiful desigi and will be a great adornment to that locality. TT.irlur all circumstances, under all conditions,unneralliniluences,Brady crotine will promptly cure all head anuBB aufj. 18 6t The rush for the direct taxes, al though not quite as large as at the hfrinnintr. still continues. There is every prospeC. that the entire appro priation will be called for within tho prescribed time. The oyster troubles in the eastern section of the State are still unset tied. It is now desired to dredge up On lands that have been registered in the name of individuals, and the mat ter has been laid before the Governor n. will no doubt be a matter for the courts. A pleasant birthday party and pic nic was given yesterday by Miss Mary Andrews the little daughter ot Mr P'lil H. Andrews, at "Highlands h fiithar'a farm four miles west of l 1 V , V M - v - the ditv. A genial crowd of jyouug folks participated and had a jovial time. Capt. Kirkland who was shot at Hamlet last Friday is getting on very well and hopes are entertained that io, ni snnn be able to resume hie uo v - route. In the meantime the rough hn shit, him ought to be hunted down at all hazards. We hear nothing lately about the chapel at Oakwood Cemetery. We hope this matter may not be lost sitrhtof. It will be a convenience as well as a decoration. All cities of any eize have them, and Raleigh should not be behind. An Old Landmark. Turners North Carolina Almanac, which, on account of its age and use fulness is now a household word in this State, is now in course of prepara ion and the edition for 1892 will be superior tu alt respects 10 any tuai has preceded it. For over half a century it has greeted the fire sides of tens of thousands of families and each succeed ug year gaining in popularity. As an advertising medium, especial ly to reach the great purchasing class, it has no equal in the South. It has advertisers who have consecutively used it for ten and twenty years, which is the best evidence of its superiority as a medium to reach the people. Mr. Theo. H. Hill will make a can vass of the city and the proprietor Mr. James H. Ennis is determined that the coming issue will surpass even the expectations of its old friends. Cur merchants and manufacturers should not forget this old friend while on its annual visit for 1892. A Word More. Thk Visitor has from time to time hail much to say relative to the bridge over the railroad on Hillsboro street We have considered it a matter of im portance, not only for the proper adornment of that portion of the city but with a due regard to the safety of the public. Now, the time has ar rived for something like pressure to be brought in the matter so far as public sentiment is concerned. We contend that the repairs now in pro gress does not, by any means fill ex" pectation. It is almost impossible to put such repairs on the present struc ture as to make it at all suitable for the purpose. The bridge should be torn down and a new structure of iron put up. If this is not done, the bridge should be dispensed with en tirely, and an arch made. This, we believe would be better and it would settle the matter for all time. Let this matter be looked into. The Board of Aldermen should demand something better than the present miserable excuse for a bridge. House keepers should remember that our special sale of house furnishing is still goiu.: on, and is now as inter esting as when first begun. Our Table Damasks, Napkins. Towels Sheeting &c, are temporarily shown upon tables near the Fayetteville street door. The best values in Tur key Red Damasks, 25, 80, 35, 40 and 50 cents. Our 15 20 and 25 cents Towels are erreater values than those of last season. In napkins our line is as com plete as can be, prices from 40c. per dozen and up. These lines were re cently bought for cash, at special sales in New York, and are offered to our ueonle at prices lower than under the old tariff. These are not a few odds and ends, but fresh, clean, new stock, and our customers get all the advantage in prices, secured by our buyers. W. H. & R. S. Tucker & Co. Harried McMillJlR DATIB At 12:30 o'clock this afternoon, at the residence of the bride's parents on Oakwood avenue, Mr. C. S. McMillan, manager of the telegraph office at Fayetteville led to the hymenial altar Miss Hun ter Davis, daughter of Mr. Riddick Davis of this eity. The ceremony was conducted by Rev. Dr. Cordon in the presence of a large crowd of friends and acquaintances. The con tracting parties left on the east bound train for the home of the groom. The bridal presents were nu merous, costly ana ueauiuui. ine groom's sister, Miss Louie McMillan, Mr. Jessie Powers, Capt. E. P. Pows ers, uncle of the groom, and Mr. Al ston McMillan came up from Fayette- ille to attend the marriage. After the ceremony a reception was held at the residence of the bride's father. Miss Davis is held in the highest esteem by a large circle of friends who, in common with our common ity at large, wish her and Mr. McMil lan the greatest happiness. W ATKINS HiGGS On Sunday last Mr. J. W. Watkins, of the 1'ostal Tel egraph office, was united in marriage to Mrs. Laura Biggs, widow of th late Jacob Higgs and daughter of the late Mr. Alvis Worrell. The ceremony took place at the residence of Capt. P. J. Brown, and was conducted by Rev. J. L. Foster. Our best wishes attend them. A Fine Chance. We have been Bhown a most bean tiful "poster now being sent out by Mr. Patrick in the interest of the Southern Inter State Exposition. It is intended to be distributed through the counties of Wake and Franklin. Mr. H. A. Chappell has the matter in charge and he proposes to give the widest possible circulation. They are finely gotten up, with a picture in the center representing the various vege tables, fruits, &c, to be on exhibi tion. Surrounding the picture are squares, 4x0 incues, in wttcn ine names of onr business firms can be secured as advertisements at a cost ranging from $2.50 to $5 each accord ing to location, xne iour corner squares are the best, and for these $5 is charged. It is a splendid op portunity for our business men to set forth their various callings.
