What Our Reporters See and Hear Worth diving to Our Headers Ncwk in Brief A few lingering watermelons, yet to be seen The State chemist is brushing up his office in readiness for the exposi tion. The finishing touches were given the road to the exposition today in the way of packing it with gravel. A splendid line of ladies, misses and children's shoes just received at the .New York bargain house. The market house front is receiving the last coat of paint. It is a rich brown stone color. The new summer cars are crowded every afternoon and night. This hot weather a ride in the cool of the even ing is a treat. Workmen areengaged today in fil ling in the electric railway track west of St. Mary's. The trolly wire has been strung to the exposition grounds. The recepts of cotton in Raleigli for the week ending yesterday afternoon were 314 bales against 19" 8 for the same time last year. Rev. Sam P. Jones, the evangelist assisted by Rev. G. M. Stuart and Prof. E. O. Excel, will commence a series of meetings at Wilmington, S. C, on Saturday the lOLh day of Oc tober, 1891. The beautiful weather has brought a large crowd of our country friends to the city today. The ladies are out, too, in full force and everything looks bright and animated. All is bustle at Metropolitan Hall today. The painters are busy at their trade and Tob Marshall is brushing up considerably. Every thing about the building will soon look neat. Now that the market house build ing is being so nicely fixed up, it would be in accordance with the fit ness of things to have a new clock. The present one is in the habit of getting a little cranky sometimes in spite of everything. We have Been the first form o' Turners Almanac for 189:?. It is su perior in all respects so far than an that preceded it. Not only for cor rect calculations, but for general in formation the "old reliable" is hard to beat. Invitations hae been sent out to some of the most prominent gentle men throughout the country, to de liver addresses at the exposition. Among them are the following United States Senators: Isham G. Harris, Benton McMiller, Jno. W. Doniel, Jno. S. Wise, Wade Hampton, Jno. R. Fellow, Coke, of Texas, and But ler, of South Carolina. Don't delay sending in your names if yon want boarders during the ex position. The Visitor has made a most tempting offer in the matter of advertising. It will be the best offer you will have to let the public know of your intentions. Send in the names at once, giving the number of boarders you will take, the street, price, &c. Our friend, Mr. Henry E. Litchford is getting up a beautiful exposition album. It will contain all the scenes of interest in and around our city. The firemen were out yesterday and a nice picture of them taken. This will be in the album. The picture was taken by "Will Wynne," who is about as good at taking photographs as he is at bicycle riding, and this is saying a great deal. A good way to study astronomy is to scatter a few scuppernong grape hulls and some banana peel on an in cline stone sidewalk; and then walk over it quite fast. You will see more stars in a minute than can be shown at the Washington City observatory in a month. So said a man near the corner of Wilmington and Martin streets this morning. The equinox will be along next week, provided it is on schedule time. Only twelve days more and the big chow will open. See notice of important sale by Arinihtead Jones, RsqM administra tor, iic. Wm. Sprague Smith, Providence, R. I., writes: "I find Bradycrotine always cures headache." SeptlG 6t Rev. Dr. Carter has returned to the city and w'll occupy his pulpit Sun day morning and uight. It is expected that the full amount due from ex shuritf Rogers, will be arranged by the latter part of this month. Let everybody come to the exposi tion. Raleigh will be amply prepared to receive all and take care of them comfortably. The Soldiers Home is being made as attractive as possible so that strangers may receive a cordial wel come during the exposition. There are nineteen applicants so far, booked for license to practice law, and who will be examined before the Supreme Court. A good shave is a luxury but it cannot be had without a sharp razor. Messrs. Briggs & Sons have some thing to say on the matter in our ad vertising columns today. Ed. Chambers Smith, Esq., Chair man of the State Democratic Ex ecutive Committeee, has called a meeting to take place in Raleigh Thursday, October 15th, 1891, at 8 o'clock p. m. Look out for "Uncle Hiram" at MetropolitanHall nextTuesday night. It is the funniest comedy ever seen in Raleigh, and is accompanied by the most magnificent band in the coun try. Rev. N. H. D. Wilson will preach tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in Mrs. Sylvester Smith's 'warehouse, at corner of Cabarrus and Harrington streets. At night he will fill the pul pit at Brooklyn M. E. Church. A number of members of Wm. G. Hill and Hiram Lodges will attend the funeral services of the late Mr. S. M Utley, which will take place at Holland Church tomorrow morning at I" o'clock. Those proposing to at tend are, requested to meet in front of Masonic Hall at 8 o'clock a. m., sharp. Paint It. We hope the Board of Public Buildings will authorize Maj. Rob erts, superintendent of the capitol and grounds, to paint the fence around the square. While our pri vate dwellings and stores are being fixed up so nicely, it will not do for our public places to be neglected. A coat of bronze would be the hand some thing for the fencing. Let the "contingency" fund be looked into and a point strained. It would add immensely to the appearance of everything around the State house. Street Car Rates. We learn that the fare to the expo sition grounds during the exhibition will be ten cents. Whether or not this will only apply during the exposition, we are not informed. The managers of the road are, of course, the doctors in the matter, and they ought to know their own business. It would be well enough, however, for them to find out exactly where the corporate limits end. A fellow getting on the cars to go as far as just this side of St. Mary's, will hard ly pay over five cents, according to the ordinance. We must think the Btreet car managers are .in their own light. If the fare iB ten cents it would be expected that thousands will take the Air . Line road where they can at least avoid much dust. "The greatest good to the greatest number," is our motto, and besides, we believe the road will make as much money at five cents a trip as at ten. But, as we said before, the man agers are the doctors. Important Meeting. Julian S. Carr, Esq., President of the old Veteran's Association of North Carolina, will issue a call in a few days for a meeting of all the old boI dierx of North Carolina to take place at the exposition grounds, on Thurs day, October 15th. We are promised by our friend, Mr. W. C. Stronach, with a full programme as soon as it is prepared. Central M. E. Church. Protracted services will be com menced at Central Methodist church tomorrow and continue during the week conducted by the pastor, Rev. Dr. L. L. Nash, aided by the Rev. Neil Rowland of the Texas Confer ence. A cordial invitation is extend ed to all, both saints and sinners, to come and unite with us, in these ex ercises. Rev. J. B. Bobbitt, D. D. will preach Sunday morning and the Rev. Neil Rowland will preach at night. Weather Crop Bulletin.

A young col v ored man, named George Long, from the country, came to the city, and yes terday afternoon got drunk. He did not exactly understand the modus operandi of one of the city lamps and attempted to pull it down for exami nation. He afterwards started for his boarding house but being uoac quainted with the city, went to the wrong house and attempted to get in. He was followed by a crow of young "hoodlums," white and colored, who hooted at him. This got Long's dan der up, and he says it made him say and do things which he otherwise would not have done. The mayor carefully considered the whole mat, ter, and gave the prisoner a repri mand, to which was added $5.00 and costs. "Uncle Hiram." "Uncle Hiram," which is to appear at Metropolitan Hall next Tuesday night is a charming New England comedy thoroughly enjoyable. The piece is a genuine play with a plot of considerable strength and interest, and not simply a specialty perfor mance like many others in wi-if h a simple countryman plays th5 lead i rig part. "Uncle Hiram" is an iocidett in the play, au important incident it is true, but still an incident whi:e in most plays of this character the str is the all important thing and the piece itself is the incident. A. H Woodhull's Hiram Homespun is a most amusing creation, but it differs widely in appearance, dress and ac tion from "Uncle Josh Whitcomb," "Alvin ;Joslin," "Jed Prouty," and others of the same general claes "Uncle Hiram" is green in city ways, but learns rapidly, and is really sharp and shrewd naturally. He can be fooled once but not twice. Mr. Wood hull's work iB surrounded by a com petent company in the main, praise worthy work being done by all, vliile pretty Troja Griswold, in the rollick ing Arabella, scores a hit almost, equal to Mr. Woodhull. Miss Gris wold is young,talented, a sweet singer and a graceful dancer. SPECIAL NOTICES. Ice Cellar. Ice in any quantity, also fresh lish daily, at my cellar No. 223, 8. Wil mington Street.
