Holt has received and placed in the executive office a large photo j graph of the proposed Confederate soldiers and sailors monument to be ' erected in Marshall square, Rich-1 mond, Va. This monument is to be one of the pretthst in the world, and the position will be second to none now known. Situated on a vary high hill, it will be seen for at least ten or twelve miles up and down the James river, presenting one of the grandest sights in the beautiful capi tal of the Old Dominion. The monu ment will be of granite, ninety feet high, and surmounted by a colossal statue of a Confederate soldier. It is proposed that each Southern State shall contribute a memorial stone, and the Governor is asked to lay the matter before the coming legislature. Let North Carolina do her part in the noble enterprise. Hardware, A . iJase Ball Matters. Contracts have been entered into with the manager of the Richmond, Va., "Giants" for a series of cham pionship games, as follows: Five in Richmond, five in Winston and seven at the exposition in Raleigh.

The ladies are each given a hammer a quantity of nails and a number of boards or pieces of wood. At a given signal the men begin sewing on but tons and the-ladies commence driving nails. Prizes are awarded to the most successful worker. The party is one which may be turned to profitable account by the hostess, as she may get much of her week's mendingdone by giving parties once a week. A Beautiful Exhibit, We spent a short time this morning in the studio of Mr. Randall, the artist in the rooms up stairs adjoining the crockery store of Mr. W. H. Hughes on Fayetteville street. We were shown some of the portraits which he proposes to have on exhibition at the exposition, of which there will be fifteen altogether. The most promi nent are portraits of Bishop Lyman, Hon. J. J. Davis, Gov. Holt, ex -Lieut. Governor Stedinan and Mrs Josephus Daniels. These pictures are just simply splendid and reminds one of the copies of some of the old masters. They are perfect in execution in every respect. The portrait of Judge Davis specially commended itself to our at ¬ tention. It represents the Judge in a sitting position, with his arm around a little girl, one of his grand children. We have never seen any thing superior to it, in our poor judg ment, even in the art gallery at the centennial in Philadelphia in 1876. Mr. Randall is, beyond doubt, a great artist and deserves the most complete success. No stranger should visit Ral eigh without visiting his studio. It is one of the most interesting places in the city. The value of Mr. Randalls entire exhibit will be about $3,500. A Card. Whereas, it has been currently re ported that one Prof. M. L Latta (?) socalled, has been asking aid from the liberal public for the establish ment of a high school of learning for the colored people of the United States; and, farther, that, he proposes to locate Baid school iuOberlin to the credit of the citizens of that vill ige. Therefore, we the uhder.kned citi zens Resolve, that we diseUiin havi ig anything to do with the school, uad that wr have given no authority to the 8nid Latta, and have not express, ed tny desire to have said sch h1 lo cated in our midst.

THE TIME FOR '-DRESS G00DS.- HIS MONTH is the time to think of and buy Dresa Goods September is an interesting month for the customer who wishes to 'buy, and for the storekeeper who wishes to sell; and we are not going to let this September be any ex ception to the rest. IT IS NOW particularly interesting in dress goods, and will continue so, for our buyer is daily letting us have the best that monev will pro nre. We would like to tell vou of every line of dress materials that he "has sent us, but we can only tell you of a portion. AMONtt THE LAST he sent was a little lot of Dress Plaids at 40c very stylish. Then at 5 )c are a lot of beauties; one line of Striped and Plaid Scotch Cheviots, look al most like Cassimeres 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 loss 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 right on all. I. H. 8 S.
