Much complaint is being made about the fountain in Moore square It is said to be stopped up in some way and the water oozes out in a small stream causing a wet place all around to the detriment of passers by. The proper authorities should have it attended to. "Well," exclaimed a country man standing in front of the market this morning as he saw a street car pass "what next? The Yankees come here and took our niggers away; then we had mule cars and they've come here and taken them away, and now they are running cars with nothing." And he walked off muttering to himsef. Invitation. Rev. Dr. W. 8. Creasy, bo well known to many of our citizens, and who, for sometime past been iu charge of Grace Church, Wilmington, has been invited by Rev.

Price of admission j 60 cents, and no one should fail to hear him. The Monument Case. The case of Mr. Kirby Smith of Goldsboro, against Dr. Kemp P. Bat tle, President of the University at the time the suit was commenced, has been compromised in Wayne Supe rior court and the proceedings dis missed. It will be remembered that Mr. Smith was arrested on suspicion of having painted the Caldwell mon ument at the commencement two years ago, and, that having shown his innocence he insituted suit for false arrest. A Scarcity. A gentleman, one of our capitalists, was walking up the street this morn, ing talking to himself, as capitalists will do. He was muttering something about building houses. Another gen tleman was walking behind him and overheard him make such remarks as these: "I'll build it," "vacant Jot," "five room house," when the gentle man behind tapped the capitalist on the shoulder and said, "Don't let no body else have it, sir I'll rent it." People abroad can see what a scarcity of houses there is in Raleigh. Jn8t Like Us. We met up with a strange gentle man this morning opposite the post office. We scraped an acquaintance and asked him where he was from. He said he was a Northern man on a tour of observation through the South, and that this was his first visit to this section. He had Rtopped awhile in Richmond and viewed all that could te Been in the former cap ital of the Confederacy, and took a deep interest in everything he saw. He said he was most agreeably disap pointed so far. He fully expected to see or hear something of a disgrunt ling character from our folk , and that there was some feeling yet ling ering over the results of the war. Ou the contrary, he said, the people everywhere seemed to have forgotten old scores, and they seem to take special pains to convince Northern men of the fact. The manners of the people impressed him specially. He said that almost everybody he met on the streets spoke to him just as if he were an old resident. Iu point of beauty, he said Raleigh was ahead of any place he had yet seen. He de clared that the idea impressed upon him in early youth that the "Old North State" was a mere producer of tar, pitch, turpentine and lumber, had completely vanished, and he now felt that he was in the midst of a most progressive community. He thinks he will put in his appearance during our exposition. So much for what strangers think of us. A Compliment. North Carolina has been paid a high compliment by the appointment of Mr. Thos. B. Keogh, of Greensboro, as a member of the committee on cer emonies at the World's Fair at Chi cago. This committee will have charge of all the ceremonies connect ed with the dedication of the build ings and also the great naval display in New York harbor. The building for North Carolina is situated in the space adjoining New York and Pennsylvania. The University. There are now about 235 students at the University of North Carolina, of which over fifty are reading law. This is about the largest number bo early in the session at any time since the late war. This is most gratifying to all true North Carolinians. shekels." The Hargett Street Line. There will be some little delay in putting the electric cars on the Har gett street line, but from outside ru mor it will be of, advantage to both the company and the .public. It seems to be understood that the com pany have in view the acquisition of certain property, which if success fully carried out, will result in a con siderable extension of the line over the present route. A New Business. Mr. F. Aufrecht has on exhibition some beautiful spe imens of statu ary and brie a brae generally at the store of Messrs Jones fc Powell, on Fayetleviile street. They are of rhe prettiest kind and will compare most favorably with any ever seen he r, Thev were manufactured here, and Mr. Aufrecht informs us that he is going regularly in'o the business in short time In fact, he has engaged the services of fifteen hands for the purpose. We invite the public to call and examine the specimens. When the Sun Rises Tomorrow. Tomorrow morning when we open our store the inside will have the ap pearance of "fairy land." All the fine and stylish dress fabrics known to the dry goods trade will be spread so as to be seen by all who enter the building.
