Troops (rom Soath Carolina will be here during the exposition. Bills for the exposition will be pos ted in Raleigh in a few days. The Btronach warehouse w 11 b open on the 15th inst., by Mr W 0 Moore, for the sale c f leaf tobacco. It is now understood that ten of the Southern States will have space e the exposition. Attention is called to the advertise ment of Mr. V. B. Moore, admin istra tor of John Gatlirg, deceased. Barlow Bros, minstrels tomorrow night. The finest minstrel troupe it the country. Don't fail to see it When all the houses now being painted and fixed up are finished, Payetteville street will present a splendid appearance. The noise of the cotton comiJi ess will soon be heard in the land. This, together with the hum of the street cars will make Raleigh a lively pi ice. The new dormitories at the Agri cultural and Mechanical College will soon be completed. They will add greatly to the appearance of the building. About the busiest place in the city tbeso days is the book store of Messrs. Alfred Williams & Co. The school children crowd the store daily pur- chatdi g book6, stationery, &c, for school work. The burglar who succeeds ingetting into the vault of the new Farmers and Commercial bank, will have to hus tle and no mistake. It will be per haps one of the best and safest vaults in the United States. ' We hope a proper regard will be paid to decorating the public build ings, stores &c, during the exposition, It adds immensely to the appearance of things, and shows that the people are alive to the occasion. When a man begins to think he ban the world iu a sling, it is justt); commencement of his bei.g "sluu-. A friend suggested this to us t Li morning and said it would be a good thing to print. We have often thought of it, but it escaped our mind temporarily. It is an elegant reminder in many instances. "A word to the wise is sufficient,' but is not always wise to say that word to one who is suffering the tor tures of a headache. However, al ways risk it and recommend Brady crotine. Sept 9 6t Maj. Roberts, the efficient superin tendent of the capitol and grounds, is having everything under his control put in first rate order for the exposi tion. The people of North Carolina will find their property nicely kept up. The capitol building is as neat as a new pin, while the grounds are undergoing a beautiful process in grading, &c. What is a greater nuisance than for a man to be walking leisurely along the sidewalk in the street and to have a great cloud of dust swept into his eyes by a porter from store or yard. Yej this is a common occurrence. Want of sense or discretion, or both, prevent them frequently from stop ping when people are passing. Fre quently pedestrians are compelled to take to the street to avoid being al most smothered in dust. Fact. Mr. W. J. Buchanan, chief of the Department of Agriculture of the World's Fair at Chicago, has written a letter to Mr. C. K. Bruner, secre tary of the North Carolina Board of the World's Fair managers, suggest ing that the farmers of this State should plant and raise some particu lar crop to make selections from for exhibits at the Chicago show, and also that they keep data and infor mation connected with t lie cultivas tion thereof to be given in connection with it at the fair. There was not an item to be gath ered in the capitol today. Mr. A. Dughi's telephone is 121 remember this. It is now reasonably certain that the electric cars will be running to the exposition grounds by the 25th inst. The Hillfboro road from the city limits to the exposition grounds will soon be one of the best in the State. The most beautiful season of the year in this climate is now approach ing. Nice, bracing weather. The right foot of a five year old colored child was cut off by an elec -trie car in Winston yesterday. Let this be a warning to Raleigh boys. The calculations ot the tax lists for Wake county are about finished and the books will be turned over to the sheriff next Tuesday. Kate Purcell the dancing eques trienne is booked for Metropolitan Hull Nov. 2nd, in the sensational play of "Queen of the Plains." She has some of the finest trained horses in thi world. I. O. O. F. Regular meeting of Seaton Grales Lodge, No. 64, I. 0. 0. F. to night at 7:30 o'clock sharp. The first degree will be conferred upon all candidates who present themselves promptly at 7:45 o'clock. Members of the lodge are earnestly requested to attend. A cordial invitation to all Odd Fellows. Millinery Goods. Our millinery department is now in fuli operation. A complete stock of fall millinery and an accomplished artist to trim you a hat. Visit our millinery. D. T. Swindell. Personal .Mention. We were glad to see our aged and highly esteemed fellow citizen Mr. Jno. C. Palmer riding out today. Mr. and Mrs. H H. Crocker ret urn ed this afternoon from a northern trip. Our esteemed fellow citizen Maj. A. M. Lewis, who has been for a long time confined at home from rheuma tism, is out again. Mr. Lewis J. Battle has gone to Philadelphia to enter the Medical department of the University of Pa , for his second term. Miss Belle W. Bagley left yesterday for Holyoke, Mass., where she will enter a Seminary. We are sorry to learn that Dr. L. L. Nash is quite sick at his home on North Blount street Dr. J. H. Crawford has returned from his northern trip and will be at his office in the morning. A Mistake. We regret very much to see it an nounced that the coming exposition will not be kept open at night, or at least on some designated nights. This, as we understand it, is the re sult of not being able to procure elec tric lights, although Mr. Patrick says that he has corresponded with all the electric companies of the country and none would make a proposition. We consider this most unfortunate; there are numbers of persons who are compelled to work for a living and are therefore unable to lose the time to attend the show in the day. The opening of the exhibition at night would be a great accommoda tion to such persons, as was shown at the exposition in 1884. We hope that Mr. .Patrick may yet be able to make some arrangement whereby proper lights may be secured. It will be a great disappointment to thousands not to be able to visit the grounds at night, and we believe it will be a serious loss to the enter prise. Grand Opening. On the 17th and 18th we will have our grand opening. All the ladies of the city and the young ladies of Peace and St. Mary's schools are invited. D. T. SWINDKLn. Mayor's Court. His Honor looked as bright as a new pin) this morning and seemed to en joy the beautiful weather hugely. He presided with his usual dignity. The first case was one against a colored man, for indecent expo sure at an entertainment. It seem ed from the evidence to be a plain case and a fine of $5 and cost was im posed. No other case of importance. The Tabernacle Building. The rebuilding of the Tabernacle is making great progress. The steel ceiling is up and beautifully painted in the Sunday school room, which has be. u greatly enlarged, and will be the finest Sunday school room in the State. Next Sunday the Sunday school and public worship will be held in the main audience room of the Sunday school, and members of both the church and Sunday school and friends generally are requested and cordially invited to be present. Annual Sermon Before the Y. M. C. A. of the University. Bishop Edward Rondthaler, D. D , of Winston Salem, will preach the an nual sermon before the Y. M. C. A. of the University next Sun lay, Sept 13. The Bishop is one of the finest scholars in the South and is very pop ular with the University stu dents. The Y. M. C. A. in the Uui versity is very vigorous and healthy. To it is largely due the fine standard of manliues3 and morality that gives the University pre eminence. Accommodations. Mr. A. 1m Ferrell, who has in charge the matter of canvassing the city for the purpose of ascertaining who are willing to accommodate boarders du ring the exposition, is making good headway, but, in order to accomplish the desired results in a reasonable time, he should have the co opera tion of the citizens generally. He wishes to hear from such parties as will take boarders as soon as possible, and, to this end, wishes their names sent in at an early date. The notices should contain the street and number and also the number of boarders pro posed to be taken, the rate of board, &c Mr. Ferrell feels rmieh aged so far. and thinks it. hvnmi doubt that Raleigh will accomm odate 1 1 l A "1 . an wno visu us aunng the exposi tion. Barlow Brothers' Modern Min strels Are coming and will appear to morrow night at Metropolitan Hall. This is one of the best known com panies on the road and have a good reputation throughout the South, where they have appeared for the' past five seasons. The press speak in flattering terms of the character of the entertainment. The New Orleans City Item has the following of the appearance of the company in that city. "They say that laughing is con tagious, perl yet people cannot laugh unless there is something to make them. One continuous roa of largh- ter from over 1,80G people for ever two and a half hours is a guarantee that they were delighted Such w-is the case at the St. Charlts i' he tiro last night, and Barlow Brothers' Mammoth Minsrels wer j the minot; that caused all this hilarirv. Fro n the first prt to the afterpiece it w-vj a programme of continual novelties each and every one being greeted with the most vociferous applaud, and the entire performance me tted the approbation of the large au dience. Praise is unnecessary for the performance, for it is immense, and the only regret is that the house is not large enough to accommodate the patrons, hundreds being turned away last night, unable to secure standing room. The matinee for Indies and children has the same great pro gramme, and those who cannot at tend in the evening should do so in the afternoon " Sudden Deaths. We deeply regret to announce the sudden death in Henderson, yester dav morning, of Mr W B. Wheeler. Mr. Wheeler was well known in Raleigh where he lived for sometime, in the capacity of clerk for Mr. Jno. Creech. He was a native of Holly Springs, Wake county, which place he recently visited to see his father. He left his wife and children there temporarily and engaged in business at Henderson. He was a most estimable gentleman and had many warm friends. An aged lady named Mrs. Fannie Newell was found dead at her resi dence on East Martin street this morning. She was laying near the door and it is thought she fell from a chair during the night. She has been suffering with consumption for many years and it is supposed she had a hemorrhage which was the immediate cause of death. We learn that such has been the precaiious state of Mrs. Newell's health that five years ago, she paid for a coffin at Mr. J. W. Brown's to be delivered at her death; she also paid in advance for the digging of her grave. The funeral was preached at 5 o'clock this afternoon from the reei dence by Rev. A. D. Betts. Mr. J. W. Brown was the funeral director in charge. Hardware, &c. w ATER COOLER, Galvanized an.l Porcelain Liuea This Day and Toinoiraw Moquette carpets and velvet car pets at Swindell's at 85c.

W.H.iR.S.TUCRERiCO SEPTEMBER THE TIME FOR '-DRESS GOODS.- THIS MONTH is the time to think of and buy Dress 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 money will pro ure. We would like to tell you of every line of uiraomuwiiua mat ne nas sent us, but we can only tell you of a portion. AMONG THE LAST he sent was a little lot of Dress Plaids at -10c very stylish. Then at 5 3c are a lot of beauties; one line ot Striped and Plaid Scotch Cheviots, look al most like Cassimercs but that is the right liinsh tor this season. Another lot at 50c in Plaids, very wide, 44 inches. This lot not at all rough finish, but Still good sellers. Of 60c goods t here is one line of beauties medium and dark grounds with bright Ro man stripes. Another lot equally as good, but less eonspicuous-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 t:e stock you will like others, for we have so many kinds, and we know the price are right on all.
