A Success.
Since the streetcars have been run
ning beyond the city limits on the
Hillaboro street line, it has so far,
proved a complete success, and, in
our opinion, will so continue. We
have always contended that it would
tie alike the interest of the company
At" I the puhlic, for the lines to be ex
tended as far as reasonable beyond
the city limits. The real need for
street cars is in the suburbs. This
has been proven in every city in which
they run.

ing the prohibition party in Wake
county met at the courthouse yester
day and selected the following as an

Bailey, A. D. Jones, H. W. House.
The following resolution was adopted
"Resolved, That we make the
prohibition of liquor traffic our aim
and fight it to the bitter end."
The Nebraska prohibition platform
was adopted.
Decorations.
There is nothing like making good
impressions at first sight and when
strangers come to our city they are
very liable to form opinions right off.
Now we want our Raleigh people
to put their best feet foremost at the
coming Exposition so that all who
visits us may return to their homes
with the most cordial wishes for the
inhabitants of the "Oak City." Let
all who can fix up their premises. Put
on an air of open hearted hospitality
and extend a most cordial welcome to
those who come among us. It will do
lasting good. Decorations, too, go a
long way to enliven up matters. It
shows zeal in the object in view and
hna n mnat nleasinz effect. Throw out
the bunting from all the stores and
public buildings, uei us maae ine
Exposition a perfect carnival.

Beautiful Work.
The work of repainting the scenery
in Metropolitan Hall is being execu

Mr. Spicher, who is certainly most
perfect in his line. Our attention was

the old Executive mansion which is
so well remembered, as being at the
foot of Fayetteville street where the
Ceutennial School now stands. Our
friend, Mr. Henry E. Litchford is
looking over the matter, and he is de
termined to have things so arranged
as to give our people the benefit of
the finest dramatic companies in the
country.
