What Our Bcportera See and
Hear Worth Giving to Our

Balloon races are all the rage.
They are very successful and inter

Next week can very properly be

little like war times.
A committee headed by Col J. M.
Heck, escorted Governor Flemiug to

The Horner boys left several bleed
ing hearts in Raleigh, if all reports

It is about time the summer cars
were taken of of t!. sret car lines
They re anything but pleasant this
weather.
The Horner cadets drilled in front
of 8t Mary's school yesterday after
noon. They w re most cordially wel
comed by the young ladies.
The crowd at the exposition
grounds yesterday was estimated to
be larger than on any day since during
fair week.
We are authorized to say that in
future the law against shooting in
Oakwood Cemetery will be s;rictly
enforced
The time is getting short in which
to prepare for the Maryland regiment.
Let there be a hearty unity of pur
pose among our people to give them
a genuine reception.
Meeting of the Board of Alderuie.
tonight, at which there will be nine!
important business. Can't a boon
be gotteu up for a new station houqt
it is badly needed.
A large number of reporters for the
press are expected in the city next
week, including representatives of
the Baltimore Sun, Herald and Ameri
can. Thome's ten cent circus is booked
for Raleigh on the 17th, 18th and 19t h;
inst. It will pitch its tent on the lot
just north of the Agricultural build
ing, on Halifax street. Of course the
small boy is happy, and many big
ones too.
Let as hope that Mr. Page will go
ahead on his proposed new hotel, so
that it may be in readiness by the
time the Union Depot is finished. It
is well enough to remember, too, that
a grand centennial is proposed in
Raleigh next year.
Mr. Darius Waterhouse, Chatta
nooga, Tenn., sayt; "It cost bat lit
tle to try Brpdf crotine, and a trial is
ail that is necessary to convince the
doubting thousands that it will cere
headache." nov 4 6t
It would seem that the pavement
question is an easy problem to solve.
From what we can understand, the
law on the subject is plain. Property
holders should see to it that the pave
ment in front of their places should
be kept in repair. If, after proper no
tice, this is not done, surely there
should be a way to enforce the ordin
an oe. It strikes us that when par
ties are properly notified, this should
be sufficient. At any rate, the law
. should be enforced.
Capt. W. H. Lucas a member of the
State Senate and Fish Commissioner
is in the city.
A good, warm rain, just now would
help oat wonderfully.
Several commercial trawlers In the
city. They report trade as good.
Collector Root will be in readiness
to receive your city taxes in a few

Would it not be well to have rail
ings to the steps leading into Metro
politan Hall. It would be very cheap,
but a great improvement.
The good order preserved by the
colored visitors to the exposition do
ling the past few days, is a source of
much congratulation.
The Hillsboro street line of Electric
Street Railway, will be entirely fin
ished in the early part of next week.
It will be a splendid piece of road.
Next 1 hureday night has been set
apart for B ev. Sam Jones' lecture in
this city. The subject will be "get
there;" and he will get there, and no
mistake.
This morning Governor Fleming
was formally received at the Execu
tive office, by Secretary of State Coke
and other officials, Gov. Holt being
absent at Greensboro.
We may now look for better mail
facilities between Raleigh and Wil
mington, since the Railway Commis
sion has taken the matter of close
connections at Goldsboro in hand.
A ladies brown pocket book was
lost at Metropolitan Hall last night.
The finder will be suitably rewarded
if they will leave it at Messrs Whi
tin? Bros., clothing stoe.
We were informed today that there
was a big move on foot in railroad
circles, wbich would result in much
benetit to Raleigh. We presume it is
in connection with the proposed
through line of the Seaboard system
to Atlanta
A. Dughi received today a fresh lot
of California pears, tigs, grapes, ha
nanas, lemons, nuts, &c.
As time wears on the exposition
becomes more and more in popular
favor. Each day increases the inter
est, and from now out, it may be safe
ly predicted that the "big show,"
wil! come fully up to expectation in
all respects. Next week can be called
tho "summit" of the show, and the
people of the state can rest assured
that a big event is in store for them.

tinguished guest. We bespeak for
Governor Fleming the most cordial
reception from our people. He was
present on the exposition grounds to

main building.
A Breezy Time.
"Yes," said Manager Daniel Shelby
of "A Breezy Time," "it is quite a
step from the saw dust to the theatre,
but I made it many years ago, Cir
cuses are not what they used to be in
the days when I was a boy. Not that
they have degenerated, bless your
heart, no. I am one of those who
talk of the "palmy days." i think
this is an age of progression and that
everything is one of improvement,
but for all that I still have a hank
ing after the one ring tent show, for
one doesent have to strain one's eyes
to see half a dozen acts at the same
time. How did I happen to leave the
circus business? Ob, I saw a chance
to get hold of a first class theatre,
where money would be easy and
work lighter. So I leased the Acad
emy of Chicago That was nearly
half a decade ago. Howevever, I have
since sub let the house and am now
devoting my entire attention to 'A
Breezy Time.'"
Mr. Shelby is enthusiastic over the
success of the new farce comedy, as
well he m ly be. It has struck the
popular fancy, and is a go from the
start. "A Breezy Time" is made up
of bright dialogue, cleverly construct
ed plot, plenty of action an is played
by one of the most capable compans
ies on the road. E B. Fitz and Kath
ryn Webster are known as the best
musical artists in America; and Miss
Helen Rainsley possesses a voice of
rare cultivation and much sweetness
There are any number of comedians
and a host of pretty girls. Will
appear tonight and tomorrow night
at Metropolitan Hall. Saturday mat
inee. Reserved seats at Bobbitt's
drug store.
