unusual prosperity witn inemwuu

that this was the special case in re
gard to builders, painters, etc. This
is good news
A curious question is being discuss
ed inthe various young men's asBO-i-.tJnr,a
of the State. It is, whether
a city man is greener in the country,
than a country man in the city. It
is a knotty subject, and one that we
would like to see unravelled.
We are reliably informed that the
North 8tate waB not removed to Ral

There i still no tidings of the miss

it will be a much needed item

taken. People are even now looking

where they can be suited. Don't hid

Why not run the electric street far

most skeptical

Figs.
The raii-ing cf this delicious fruit is
becoming an important industry in
North Carolina, and tl,ere is a great
demand for choice varieties. In or
der to supply the demand as far as
possible, large numbers of cuttings
are being sent out daily from the Ex
pe riment Station near this city. There
are over thirty varieties being dis
tributed, and the supply is fact, run
ning out. Prof. W F Mnseey will
kindly furnish particulars.
Won thfl Prize.
It will be runenibered that, some
time since, the Standard Music Com
pany, of Winston, N. C, ofered a
prize for th prettiest, and finest
baby, physically, exhibited at the ex
position. The award has been made
and the selection was little Mildred,
the eight months old infant of Mr.
and Mrs. W A. Woodall who carried
off the prize which is an organ worth
$125. We can well imagine that the
parents are the proudest couple in
Raleigh. We sincerely congratulate
them, and hope that their sweet little
child may liv9 to enjoy the credit of
infantile triumph.
