The Railway Commission is now at work on miscellaneous matters. Be on hand tonight at the exposi tion grounds. The walks of the oapitol rqaare will soon be graveled and rolled. Excursions from this section have now about ended for this season. Cotton continues very low and but little cotton coming in. The thermometer today climbed up to the nineties. Dr. W. H. Bobbitt is getting ready for the exposition. He is having his house painted. Hunt up all your curiosities for the exposition. Let us make Wake the banner county. Mr. C. G. Stone is moving today into his quarters where he was burnt out some time since. The great watermelon fea6t and dance comes off tonight at the ex position grounds. The Superior Court Clerk is having a little rest in the matter of direct taxes. About two thirds of the ap plications from Wake have been sent in. Our friend Mr. C. 0. McDonald, is the champion gardener cf this sec tion, and no mistake. His society tomatoe just beats the record. Ask him to show you some. A large number of colored ex cursionists from Norfolk arrived in the city last night. They are accom panied by a good brass baud and to day have been taking in the city in an enjoyable manner. Judging from the large pile of granite in front of the Adams build iug to be used for building the vault, it. will be a huge affair. The work of renovating tho building for the Farmers and Commercial Bank is rapidly progressing. The lollowing are the floor man agers for the dance at the exposition grounds tonight: Messrs. Thos. Bad ger, Jr., Henry W. Miller D B Whitrt ker, Joe K. Marsball and J no B. Strouach. These young gentle men know their business to a dot, and, it can be taken for granted that till will go right. Our attention was directed today, to the walls on the first floor of the court house which are badly marked with nnins &c, in pencil This is a practice which should be stopped Jt is inexcusable vandalism, and the parties offending should be severely dealt with. It is now stated that the electric street cars will not be in operation here until September 25th. This is based on a statement of the Raleigh correspondent of the Wilmington Messenger who gets it from Mr. Hall who is in charge of the work. Attention is directed to the adver tisement of the New York Bargain Store. This store has bargains indeed. Just think of it. A good pair pants nice enough to wear to chureh for 05 cents. Call and see them and you will be sure to buy. Our friend Mr. M. D Edwards is clerk in this establish ment and this is enough to ensure a good run of custom. Under all circumstances, under all will promptly cure all head aches, aug. IS 6t The Cross Bearers Circle of the KingsDaughters will have their lawn party tomorrow night on the lawn in front of the parsonage of the Eden ton Street M. E. Church. All cordially invited, and it will be an enjoyable occasion. Refreshments of various kinds. Let there be a rousing turn out. Remember it is for a good pur jpose to aid the poor and distressed. Chiucapins in market today. The first bale of new cotton has been received in Wilmington from South Carolina. It sold for 1 cents. No news at the capitol. Outside of applications for direct taxes, there is a perfect lull. Col. J. M. Htuk estimates that the grape crop isab jut 65 percent of that of 18D0. It is now understood that all obi stacles in the way of running the factory branch of the North Carolina road to the Caraleigh Mills are at an end. The board of county commissioners were iu session again today revising the list of assessments wherever it was found proper. Active preparations are in progress for the fall opening of the Agricultu ral and Mechanical College. The out- I look for a large attendance is good. The agricultural statistics from the various counties are being carefully arranged in cases at the Department of Agriculture. Two important county institutes will be held this week one at Gra ham, 19th, and one iu Davie county on the 22d. University students must reach Chpel Hill, September 1st, in order to secure rooms Sept. 2. Over one hundred applications for admission have been received. Seats in the chapel will be awarded Sept. 2d. The riding gallery will open again next Friday at the same place, corner of Hargett and Blount streets. It will bd under the management of Mr. Geo. W. Briukley, who will see to it that, it will be conducted in the most admirable manner. Let all get ready to take a ride. Let our business men remember that the surest way out of the dull season, is to let the public know what they haveto sel l.There is no better me dium through which this can be done, than through the columns of The Visitor, as hundreds will attest. Our large city circulation now rapid ly increasing is the best index of pop ular favor. I. O. O. P. Regular meeting of Seaton Gales Lodge, ;No. 64, I. 0. O. F., will meet, tomorrow night at 8 o'clock sharp. Conferring of the 2nd degree and other matters of importaut will be attended to. Candidates for the 2nd degree will report promptly at 8:15 o'clock. Members earnestly re quested to attend. A cordial invita tion to all Odd Fellows. Thihm, Sec. The Colored College. The fact should not be overlooked that the Trustees of the Agricultural and Mechanical College will meet in this city on the 26th inst. at 10 o'clock for the purpose of considering bids for the location and erection of build ings. It is also, understood that all towns desiring to secure the location are expected to send in bids. We hope that Raleigh will not be laggard in this matter. Raleigh is the proper place for the institution, and, we can secure it with proper exertion. A Noble Cause. A proposal was made some years 'since to raise as a memorial to the late Rt. Rev. Thomas Atkinson, Bishop of the diocese of North Caro Una, an endowment fund of 2,500 for the support of a child's cot in St. John's Hospital. The work has, thus far, been carried on mostly by the Messengers of Hope, a volunteer or ganization of children, who have raised $2,100. The sum of $400 is now lacking to complete the endowment, and for this, an earnest appeal is now made to raise it. We most earnestly hope that a most liberal responce will be made in behalf of the object in view. Con tributions should be sent to Miss Re becca Cameron, eare of Dr. Win. Cameron, Hillsboro. "Ice Cream and Peaches " There will be a lawn party given by the Sunday school class of Mr. Blake, at the residence of Mr. F. T. Bailey, corner of Person and Hargett street, on tomorrow (Thursday )night. The proceeds to go to the repair of their Sunday school. All are cor dially invited. Come and aid us. Mayor's Levee. A colored man named Albert Wil liams was fined $5 25 this morning for disturbing a meeting of Good Sama ritans last night. Several cases of drunk and down were disposed of with the infliction of the usual fines. The other matters before his honor were so trivial as not to interest the public, either In poetry or prose.

V Ktve&Bno Hardware, Ac. Raleigh Building and Loau As sociation. This association has started oil un der ery tavorable circumstances, and bids fair to be of great benefit to our city. There are already applications filed by stockholders to borrow money for building homes. Any one who wishes to take stock can do so by calling on Mr. L. O. Lougee at the courthouse and paying $200 per share, which will put them on an equal footing with the other stockholders. Use Egerton snuft. For sale by (!. O. Ball & Co.

Yeslerday a convict was brought to the penitentiary fromOrange county, who was sentenced to seven years for larceny. He was only thirteen years old, so that just as he is beginning to ' bud into manhood he will be released, j having spent thenost susceptible part of his young life in the society j of hardened criminals. This is a case ' that affords much food for reflection 1 and should cause an investigation of the matter of establishing in our State a house of coirection for such youthful offenders. We hope the next General Assembly will give it a most complete consideration, and that Governor Holt will earnestly urge it in his annual message. It is a matter of deep importance W anted.

The Grape Crop. We are sorry to learn that our grape growers have realized very low ! prices on their fruit this year, and from what we can gather will not make expenses on their crop. This : was caused by being two weeks late in shipment, owing to the long season of cool and rainy weather, and when ready for the market it was over stocked with peaches, pears, Stc. We notice by a trade circular that , there arrived in New York in one day last week eighty four car loads of peaches, to say nothing of the large j quantities of other fruits. A great deal of the grapes shipped from here this season barely paid the j expense of packing, shipping and commissions, and leaves nothing for ' collection. H ood aud Shingles for Sale.
