Pohuiu hunting now in order.

merely to ook at the animals.
John Lowlow &yi he always feels
at home in Raleigh.
A large number of bloo'ed horses
have be?n entered for the State fair.
Our columns ioday are a little short
of local. This is a counted for from
the fact that the c ircus took such a
full hold of the people that all else
was discarded for the time being.
Our cotton merchants are much
pleased with the outlook so far, and
a big increase of receipts over last
year is expected.
The Progressive Farmer has the
following strike which is to the point:
Coino to the exposition. News has
gone out that it is a fraud. It is not
half us much a fraud as those who la
bor so hard to circulate such reports.
We hope our ptriotic Governor
will not forget to look after the mat
ter of a subscription for the World's
Fair during the exposition. He is
ju.t the person to start the movement
and no doubt hundreds will follow.
A gentleman from .New York who
has had good opportunities to esti
mate a crowd says there could not
have been less than twelve thousand
persons witnessed the circus parade
today. He is certainly not over tbe
mark.
Small Houses.
The cry still comes that there are
no houses for rent in the city suitable
for families of moderate means. We
know of several persons who for the
past few weeks have been on the look
out for such houses without success.
It is passing strange that some of our
wealthy citizens do not invest in such
property. It surely world be a pay
ing investment.
Rutherford College.
Mr. A. A. Abernethy, nephew of
Rev. Dr. Abernethy. President of
Rutherford College, is in the city. It
is understood that he is soliciting
funds fr the new building at Ruth
erford College to replace that de
troyed by fire some time ago Dr
iiernethy will be here in person
luring he week, and we wish him
the most abundant success in his ef
forts.
Demorest's Magazine.
The November number of this ex
cellent family magazine is unusually
attractive and interesting. Its illus
trations of famous beauties of the
South are gotten up in very hand
some style. Its literature and light
reading are of an elevated type, and
its fashion department is late, full
and at the front in this line.
Real Estate Index.
We hope that when the county
commissioners meot next week they
will no longer delay the matter of
having a double index prepared, so
that the transfers of real estate can
be readily referred to. This is a
highly important matter to all our
people and should no longer be neg
lected. At present it is found some
times difficult to trace the ownership
of property, and sales of real estate
are often retarded on account oi tne
delay. It is a matter that should
have been attended to long ago
there be no further delay.

Thanks.
The students of Chapel Hill have
passed b' a rising vote the following
resolutions:
Resolved, 1st. That the students of
the University on this, the first morn
ing of the occupation of the remod
elled chapel, desire to express their

enabled us to use this beautiful and
comfortable hall.

use and protect the property thus
generously donated by our friends.
Badly Beaten.
A dispatch from Winston yesterday
Bay 8:
"A street car conductor named Rell
was attacked by two young meu
while on his run yesterday afternoon,
and was badly beaten up. The young
men were drinking and ringing up
fares on him. The affair is receiving
condemnation, and it is thought those
who made the attack will suffer a
right heavy penalty from the court.
Bell's injuries may prove serious, as
he had to take.his.bed from the ef
fects.
A Great Novelty.
The Barcelonia Mystery performed
at the People's Theatre last evening
with Sun's New Phantanua Novelty
Co., was one of the greatest treats
our amusement loving people have
had in many a day. The stage was
light up as bright as could be no
curtain or cabinets used. The lady
walked in the air, turned several
revolutions and returned to the stage.
The act was a surprise, although ad
vertised, our people were not looking
for the act as it seemed impossible.
The company in all was a good one
and will always draw a full house
here. Evening Bee Toledo, O.
This company will appear at Metro
politan Hall on Wedues lay ni . ht,
October 14th.
The Right Spirit.
The Concord Standard has the fol
lowing sensible article:
"The Southern Exposition, aside
from the peculiar object of its exist
enee, is at least a great advertisement
for North Carolina. It is this, or
nothing.
That the people of North Carolina,
with this view of the exposition,
should boost it, assist it and patronize
it, there can be no doubt. The man
agement may be distasteful to some;
a part of it may be at even enmity to
some parties, but the thing was born
and the baby had to be cared for.
The management was placed in
charge without mouey, and seeing
they had a good sized elephant on
their hands they had to put up the
money themselves or the elephant
had to parish that's the size and
dimensions of the whole affair.
sjLot North Carolina people and es
pecially the press, stand by them.
Standard: A female drummer in
Concord was a novelty on 8atr.rday.
She is Miss B. F. Adams and repre
sents a wholesale grocery house of
Pittsburg, Pa. She-seems to succeed
right well, and understands the art
as it is But the Standard is fernent
any such woman's rights.
