Tuesday morning.
There were nearly eight thousand
people on thn fair grounds yesterday
To day there has been equally as
many, or perhaps more.
Complaint is made that many of
our streets have no sigus giving their
names, &c. Strangers have spoken
of it, and say they have no way to
tell what street they are on except by
asking. This certainly should not be.
Signs at the street corners have been
knocked down, and should be put
back as early as possible.
That mud hole on Hargett street,
by the side of the street car track,
between Wilmington and Blount
should be looked after. One vehicle
was broken there yesterday, and an
other a few days before that, and the
public interest would indicate that
hole should be filled at once.

Rad what Buffalo Courier says
about "Tom Sawyer" which is to be
performed at Metropolitan Hall to
night.
"Mark Twain's story 'Tom Sawyer'
is very familiarly known, and there
are very few juveniles who are not
acquainted with the pranks of the
bad boy, Tommy. A gallery packed
with them, and a full house down
stairs of 'children of an older growth'
witnessed an excellent dramatization
of the story at the Court Street Thea
ter last night, and if laughter and
applause is a criterion, thoroughly
enjoyed it.

There was some sparing in the
Ecumenical Council a few days since
when the body had under considera
tion the subject of the religious
press. One speaker referred to re
ligious papers as in many instances
instruments of personal and indi
vidual puffery Another said he had
never learned that it was divorced
from the beer barrel. This sparing
was confined to the English brethren,
however.
Mr. J. T. Tomlinson, of the Ashe
ville Home Journal, is in the city
with both feet, and surely he needed
both feet, to stand in the immense

URAMD GALA DAY.
Tremendous Success of the
Exposition Raleigh Almost
Literally Packed With
People.
This haB been a grand day for
Raleigh. It has been equally as grand
a day fdr North Carolina. The caph
tal of the old North State is literally
packed with people. They came
from the north, east, south and west.
The great Inter-State Exposition is
an assured success. All doubts are
dispelled. No croakers around.
Neer in the history of Raleigh has
its people witnessed a prouder day
than this. At noon the crowd in
attendance at the grounds could not
have been less than seven thousand.
At 2 p. in: it had swelled to at least
nine thousand, and at our hour of
going to press we learn that there
never has been Been such a solid mass
of humanity ; all delighted with the
grand and imposing scene.
The exhibits are all in place. The
show is splendid in all particulars,
and the weather partakes of the most
beautiful of the mellow October days.
The Confederate veterans are there
in all the pride that prompted them
to serve their Southland iu days gone
by. The programme has been carried
out in each and every particular
possible. The old soldiers' procession
was a marked feature. The Univer
sity boys are there in all their glory.
The school children are there. Even
the red men are overcome with the
pomp and glory of the day, and are
exhibiting to the astonishing gaze of
the multitude their marvellous feats
of the ball play. It is useless to at
tempt to particularize. It just can't
be done.
Raleigh sends greeting to the South,
to the North, to the East and to the
West the glad tidings that there has
never been such an outpouring of
people in our midst.

Spicy Marriage.
A very imposing marriage ceremony
took p'aee this morning iu the office
of the clerk of the Superior Court.
A yourg couple f:om Wayne county
presented themselves for the purpose
of "being made one.'' Justice Mo e,
our rather bashful deputy clerk of
the Superior Court, agreed to per
form the ceremony, and he carried
out the programme with all the dig
nity for which he is fo famous The
contracting parties were Mr. Jos R.
Daniel and the lady's name was Miss.
Bettie Newsoin. They were properly
arranged our friend Jno. W. Thomp
son acting as best man for the party.
Joe Goodwin give the bride away in
the most approved style while Millard
Mial flourished around considerably
as master of ceremonies, and chief
cook and bottle washer. The blush"
ing bride and the rather terrified
groom stood the ordeal well. At the
conclusion of the ceremony Jno.
Thompson gave one of his blandest
and ruo.'st genial sniile3 accompanied
with a most profound and reverend
bow. It was a rich scene all around.
Moye never flinched during the solemn
service and looked for all the world
"like patience on a monument smil
ing at grief." He thinks of going in
to the marriage bucket shop busi
