The new bank will soon be ready. Glean up for the exposition; the time is near at hand. The County Commissioners are still engaged on mere routine duty. The new delivery wagon of Messrs. Eberhardt & Pescud is a beauty. A very large attendance is antici pated in the graded schools during the coming session. 1 he condition of ex-Gov. Scales is about the same as at our last report. His case is hopeless. The street car business is rapidly improving. Every afternoon the cars are loaded to their utmost capacity. Mr. W. B. Merrimon has taken a position with Messrs. Berwauger Bros., where he will be pleased to see his friends. Phalanx Lodge, K. of P. will meet at 8 o'clock tonight for work in the second rank. Visiting brethren cor dially invited. Don't forget to report to Maj. C. D. fieartt and Mr. A. L. Ferrell if you can arrange to take boarders during the exposition. Rev. Br. J. W. Carter, of the First Baptist church of this city, will hold protracted services at Lincolnton dur ing the present week. The regular monthly meeting of the Directors of the Raleigh Cotton Mills will be held at the mills at 4:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The Barlow Bros. Minstrel troupe which appears at Metropolitan Hail next Friday night, is said to be one of the best troupes on the road. A right good rubbing of the statue of Washington would oome in well just now. Give the old gentleman a cleaning up before the exposition. Call at the Agricultural depart inent and wituees the working of the comptometer, which is a most re markable instrument ior competation &o. The drug store of Mr. J no. fcs Pescud on Fayetteville street, is r .ceiving a new coat of paint, and is be ing otherwise fixed up for the comity exposition. All who expect to take boarders during the exposition, should tend in their names at once to Maj. C. D. Heartt and A. L. Ferrell. There is no time to lose. A passenger train made the dis tance between Danville and Char lotte, 542 miles last Sunday in three hours and five minutes. It made eight stops. . Every train isbringirg young ladies to Peace Institute. Our schools ot every description will be more flour ishing than ever during the fall and winter session. . We learn that one of the balls with which Capt. Kirkland was shot some time since, has been extracted. It bad lodged near the knee. We hope his recovery may be speedy. Can't our friend Mr. E. G. Harrell tell us something about the proposed Cuban tripf It would be a most de lightful occasion no doutt and we should like to see it successfully car ried out. It now seems that there will be no report made by the Railroad Com mission on the Third creek disaster until the end of the present year when it will be made to the Governor direct. I feel it my duty to write you in re gard to the benefit your Brady crotine has been to my wife. Ever Bince a child she has been subject to the most dreadful headaches, usually b-everal times a month. She has tried doctors from Maine to California but none could prevent these spells run niiig their course. Bradycrotine has not failed to effect a cure in a single instance, one dose usually being suf ficient. Ofccar JP. Frost, Monmouth, Maine. a ttt CardB are out for the marriage of Mr. Hatnu. 1 Watts of Auburn to Miss Laura B. Meyer, to take place Sept 17th, in Centenary Methodist Church at Richmond, Va., the city in which the bi ides' parents reside. There are still about forty or titty copies of the i.ws of the laBt legisla ture remaining uncalled for by Jus tices, in the office of the Register of Deeds. It is highly important that they should have them. It is rumored that it will be yet about two weeks before the Uillsboro street line will be running the entire length. We are unable to learn where the hitch is, but we imi.-t take it for granted that the officials have good reason for the delay. It is now estimated that at the prebent rate the entire appropriation lor the return of direct taxes will be exhausted long before the Chicago exposition We must raise something for the great show by individual con tributions or it will not be raised at all. Messrs. W. H. & R. S. Tucker & Co., and Messrs. W. C. & A. B. Stronach are having their stores put in "apple pie" order for the coming exposition We shall have much to say about these improvements as well as about the proprietors as soon as the work is completed. If you have failed to list your prop erty for taxation, it is your duty to go before the Board of County Com missioners and make your excuse. If it is a good one, they will no doubt, take off the penalty. If no excuse is made, it may be taken for granted that the failure was wilful. Mayor's Court.. His honor was on time this morn ing and promptly at 10 o'clock took his seat for the administrationof jus tice. Richard Burwell, colored, was ar ranged for stealing a silver watch, the property of Joe E. Perry, on the 7th inst. A little colored boy testified that Burwell brought him a watch and told him to hide it and not let any one see it, even if it was five years, lie told the little boy it was not a stolen watch, but he was only fooling with a fellow. Oilicer Lewellen'e evidence was a clincher, so far as the guilt of the prisoner was considered. Mr. Robgood testified that Burwell told him he had found the watch, but until it had been identified he thought he ought to keep it. He did not think that Burwell intended to steal the watch. Burwell was bound over to court in the sum of $50, which he gave. A case of drunk on the street was discharged with an admonition. Thus ended the docket. Central Methodist Church. During the day yesterday we beard a number of our citizens who attend ed the opening of this new church last Sunday, speak in the strongest terms of admiration of the beauty of the building and its finish and furn ishing. It is decidedly the handsom est church in this section of the Stale. The congregation was iarge, both morning and at night, filling main auditorium and a large number overflowing into the Sunday school room, which is made available on such occasions by large folding doors. The services were interesting and profitable. Dr. ash preached two able sermons. The public, from the various and numerous expressions we have heard, were greatly pleased with the new church and with the services. Dr. Nash and his building commit tee deserve great credit for their re markable success in erecting this building. Very few would judge it to have cost less than $20,000 or $5, 000, while it has really cost only about $14,000. The beautiful Voealion or gan placed in the church by Mr. Geo. Mears, is a magnificent instrument, and beautifully matches the finishing and furniture. An Oner. The Visitor is always anxious and willing to aid in whatever may con duce to the public welfare. It is an absolute necessity to the proper suc cess of the exposition that the most 1 perfect arrangements possible should be made to accommodate all who come to our city. This is necessary, not only in the interest of the expo sition, but with a due regard to the reputation of Raleigh. We have, heretofore, called attention to the fact, that Maj. C. D. Heartt and Mr. A. L. Ferrell have been selected as representatives of a bureau of infor mation to receive the names of all persons who are willing to take boarders during the time the show is in progress. in order to facilitate the matter as much as possible, the Visitor, under the head of "Boarders Wanted," pro poses to insert cards of such persons as can accommodate boarders, at 25 cents for not exceeding 3 lines during a period of one month. All that is necessary to be stated in the cards is the mimes of the parties, number and street and whether table board or lodging or both can be had. It will be readily perceived that this propsition is almost gratuitous, being only about sufficient to cover the expenses of composition and the worth of the space. W e hope all who contemplate taking boarders will send in their notices at once. To ol Personal mention. Mrs. L. N., White has returned from Baltimore, where she has been to visit friends. Judge Thos. C. Fuller, was in Dur ham yesterday. Mr. James Osborne is on a visit to his parents at Oxford. Col. A. M. McPheeters left for Bal timore this morning on business. Maj. W. A. Guthrie, of Durham, was in the city yesterday afternoon. Miss Bettie Walton, of Milton, ar rived in the city yesterday, to attend Peaee Institute. Mr. Geo. S. Terrell, of the Agricul tural Department took the road to day as a fertilizer inspector. Rev. Dr. F. L. Reid and family have returned from Buffalo Lithia Springs, much improved in health. Mr. W. Penny, from Auburn has accepted a position with Mr. D. T. Johnson as salesman, in his whole sale and retail grocery business, on east Hargett street. We are pleased to learn that Mrs. M. V. Kinc whn wmh irriiirn'l unVArnl days since by being thrown from her buggy, is rapidly improving. Col. John S. Robinson has gone to Cleveland Springs. Capt. Peyton J. Brown, one of the gentlemanly conductors on the Rich mond & Danville System, is on a ten days leave of absence, which he pro poses to enjoy in a trip with his fam ily. Hope he will have a good time. Misses Alice and Maggie Ferrell, daughters of our esteemed fellow cit izen, Mr. A. L. Ferrell, left to day for Murfreesboro, to r- snme their studies at the Chowan Baptitt Female Insti tute, which they attended last session. They will be accompanied by Mr-aes Alice and Fannie Perrv from 'he Southern part of Wake, v- ho go as new scholars to the Institute. I Mr. and Mrs. Sidney M Terrell, f i Role8ville, are in the city today. Mr. J. F Pell is and hap been con fined to bis room with sickness for several days ar Mo. 18, west Hargett, street. j Postponement. The joint festival contemplated by Litchford Encampment, I. (). O.

IT IS NOW particularly interesting in dress goods, and will continue so, for our buyer is daily lettiug us have the best that money will pro ure. We would like to tell you of every line of dress materials that he has sent us, but we can only tell you of a portion. A MONO THE LAST he sent was a little lot of Dress Plaids at 40c very stylish. Then at 5Je arc a lot of beauties; one line of Striped and Plaid Scotch Cheviots, look al most like Oassimeres but that is the right finish for this season. Another lot at 50c in Plaids, very wide, 44 inches. This lot not at all rough finish, but still good sellers. Of (iOc goods there is one line of beauties medium and dark grounds with bright Ro man stripes. Another lot equally as good, but less conspicuous these Irish Tweeds nothing wears better, and they closely re semble materials at twice their price. The above are what we consider among the best at the prices, but probably after see ing te stock you will like others, for we have so many kinds, and we know the prices are righton all. . H, 4 t S.
