ways risk it and recommend Brady
crotine. Sept 9 6t
Messrs. Weathers and Lawrence

contains are sparkling, spirited and
at the same time simple and specially
adapted for children.
Barlow's Minstrels.
This celebrated troupe appears at
Metropolitan Hall tonight, and it will
be an occasion of great interest to all
amusement lovers. The company has
gained laurels wherever it has ap
peared, and the press speak of it. in
the highest terms of commendation.
The opening scene is said to surpass
anything ever seen here in point of
gorgeous display and arrangement.
The Twin City Sentinel is one of
the most reliable papers in the State
in point of comment, and here is what
it says:
The famous Barlow Bros. Minstrels
were at Brown's Opera House last
night. The house was well filled with
lovers of minstrelsy and fun and in
stead of a disappointment an agree
able surprise greeted the audience in
the way of an aggregation of merit
unexcelled by anything of the kind
ever presented to a Winston audi
ence. The "first part" is of unusual
excellence and goes through with a
dash and sparkle, unflavored with
chestnuts, that is refreshing indeed.
The second part is new althrough
and has so many commendable points
that to mention one would slight an
other equally as deserving of praise.
The specialties were the best ever
seen in Brown's Opera and the sing
ing was the outcome of rich and well
trained voices.
Barlow Bros, is a great minstrel.
It is the event of the season.

dience that has been in Burwell Hall
this season. I take pleasure in re
commending it as a first class show in
every respect. J. S. Poythree,
Manager Opera House.
Our exhibit.
We have on several occasions urged
our people to make all the exertions
in their power towards getting up a
creditable exhibit for Wake county at
the coming exposition. In order to
do this, it is necessary that Mr. G. E.
Gill, of Wake Forest, the representa
tive of the county, should receive due
notice of all articles intended for ex
hibition. In the agricultural depart
ment Mr. Gill has secured a large
space, which he has decorated in a
beautiful manner. We have reason
to believe that the exhibit of Wake
cOunty will be full and creditable.
Mayor's Court.
The main features of the docket
were two cases both for larceny.
Jim Wilkins, colored, took a notion
to make a raid on the feathered tribe
and stole some chickens. Evidence
clear and Jim was Bent on to court for
further developments.
Henry Freeman, colored, appro
priated to himself a bucket contain
ing the dinner of a fellow workman
at the new Union Depot. The evi
dence was conclusive, and Henry was
bound over to the Superior Court.
Habeas Corpus.
A somewhat interesting habeas cor
pus case came up before Judge
Whitaker, at chambers, this morning,
it being an application for a writ of
habeas corpus, applied for by J. C. L.
Harris Esq., counsel for Lee Jones, a
colored man charged with shooting
his wife in Florida, and who was re.
cently captured in North Carolina
The papers taken out by Mr Harris,
were made returnable yesterday af
ternoon at 5 o'clock, but, in tbe mean
time the sheriff of Osceola county,
Florida, where the crime was com
mitted, appeared on the scene with
requisition papers and secured the
services of F. H. basbee Esq , us at
torney. WBIT DISCHARGED
After hearing the argument -of
counsel, Judge Whitaker discharged
the writ of habeas corpus. Au appeal
to the Supreme Court was denied and j
the prisoner was remanded to the
custody of the sheriff of Osceola cc veri
ty,' who left with him this afternoon
for Florida.
A Card.
Correspondence of the Visitor.
A card was published in your pa
per of the 9th in-taut, by sundry col -ored
citizens of Oberlin, which is cal
culated to do me injustice. It alluded
to tbe fact that I have been asking
aid for the establishment of a high
school of learning for the colored
people, and that I propose to locate
it at Oberlin, and states that they
disclaim having anything to do with
said school, or that they had ever
given me any authority to solicit aid
for the same, or had expressed any
desire to have said school in their
midst. I have never alleged the con -trary,
but have acted on my own re
sponsibility throughout, as every free
citizen has the right to do. The
amount of mouey paid me is small
and has not been used for my own pur
poses, but all of it except a few dol
lars now on hand has been used in
purchasing real estate for the use of
said school, insuring the buildings
thereon, &c, as shown by the Regis
ter's office of Wake county, at page
810, book 113, and the references to
other deeds there made. The land
has been conveyed to trustees for
the use of said school. In this whole
matter 1 have been acting honestly
for the benefit of my race, and shall
continue so to do.
Respectfully, M L Latta.
Hardware, &c.
Schwartz, the metropolitan butch

SEPTUM
T
JHE TIME FOR
'-DRESS G00DS.-
HIS 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.
T 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
dress materials that he has sent us, but we
can only tell you of a portion.
AMONW THE LAST
he sent was a little lot of Dress Plaids
at 40c very stylish.
Then at 53c 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 00c goods there 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 se
ingf?e stock you will like others, for we
have so many kinds, and we know the prices
are right on all. r
