crowd as we had liked to have seen.
A call has been extended by the
congregation of the First Presby
ter' in Church, in this city, to Rev. A.
J. McKelway, of Virginia, to become

The annual meeting of the Trustees
of the State University, will take
place on Thursday, February 18th at
11 a. m. As the reports of the presi

Now that the connection of the
Seaboard system to Atlanta is an
event of the near future, we hop
the next step will be the early build

to secure the Institution.
Be Cautious.
We were shown today one of the
best imitations of a standard silver
dollar we have ever seen. It had a
ring much like the genuine and was
calculated to dtceive. Be on the
lookout.
Peanut Party.
All over the northwestern part of
the city, and in many other portions,
everybody is talking about the pea
nut party to be given tonight at the
residence of Mr. B. F. Park. The
young ladies in charge have been ac
tively at work, and the literary and
musical part of the programme will
be of the most enjoyable character,
whilst all who are fond of oysters, or
of other toothsome delicacies, will
find an abundant supply. Don't fail
to go and go soon, so as to get In
tonight at the residence of Mr. B. F
Park.
Moore Square.
We are urged by many citizens to
keep up the agitation about the
walks in Moore Square. We should
really think that the matter is so ap
parent as to need but little said on
the subject. In wet weather, it is al
most impossible for pedestrians to
walk from the Martin street entrance
at the southwestcorner of the square
to the northeast corner without be
ing mired. There are many of our
citizens doing business on the princi
pal streets, who live in the northern
part of the city, and they usually
pass through the square in going to
and from their homes. These persons
are some of our main tax payers, and
they t-hould have a right to expect
that t e thoroughfare be kept in
proper condition. We hope that now
while the weather is fair, the street
commissioner will give the matter
proper attention.
Resolutions.
The following resolutions were
adopted at the last regular meeting
of the Rescue Steam Fire Company
No. 1.
Whkrk as, God in his wisdom has
seen fit to remove from our midst our

Rksolvkd, t'h'it we the members
of Rescue Steam Fire Engine Com
pa iy, No. 1., recognize the fact that
we have lost in him one of our most
active fireman, and that a kind hus
band and loving father an indue
triouo citizen, whose upright and ac
tive life vas an emulation to his com
pinions, has been called to his re
ward Resolvbd 3rd, That the charter of
the company be draped in mourning
for the space of thirty days, out of
respect to our late brother fireman,
that a copy of these resolutions be
sent to the family of the deceased,
and beepread on the record book of

Mayor's Court.
Two young white men, Frank Perry
and Chas. Uooch were before the
Mayor this morning for creating a
' disturbance with a disreputable wo
j man: The evidence was so conflict
ing that the case was dismissed.
si Plunkard."
In speaking of the performance of
Si Plunkard, which is billed for Met
ropolitan Hall tonight a commercial
traveler of a large wholesale Eastern
house, who was registered at one of
our hotels here, said: "I went to see
that company the other evening and
witnessed a good show. Old Si is a
circus in himself, and if you want to
enjoy a good laugh, from 8 o'clock
until half past ten, take in Si Plunk
ard the first chance you get." Oui
jolly drummers know how to enjoy a
good thing when they find it.
Pounding.
Rev. Kenneth D. Holmes the re
cently appointed minister cf the
Brooklyn Methodist Church, of this
city, last night was the recipient of a
"nice pounding" at the hands of the
members of Edenton Street M. E.
Church. They loaded his dining
room down with the good things of
life, which wes most cordially we!
corned. It was, indeed, a most cor
dial welcome.
Little Lord Fauntleroy.
1 his great sensational play is book
ed for Metropolitan Hall next Tues
day night, Feb. 2d.
Never was there a story written,
never a play produced, that has
aroused such universal admiration
and interest, and with one bound
leaped Into such world wide fame as
"Little Lord Fauntleroy" no play
however great achieved such immedi
ate, marvelous success, not only in
America, but in England, Australia
India. Germany, France, in fact in (.11
civilized countries this play has been
received by thousands with enthusi
asm and delight. And why? Because
while different from all others, it is
the most charming and fascinating
comedy ever presented on any stage,
because when you see it you can't
help being interested, amused, de
lighted, carried away you feel hap
pier better, brighter, more content
with yourself and all the world. That
is pleasure, that is enjoyment, that is
genuine healthful entertainment for
young and old, for rich and poor.
Reasons for Swindell's Move to
Baltimore.
The following reasons have been
expressed by different persons for the
move Swindell is about to make to
Baltimore:
No. 1: "I knew Swindell would not
stay in Raleigh Not life enough
here."
No. 2: "I knew Swindell did not
have brains enough to stand t he com
petition here."
No 8: "A man with Swindell's push,
energy and abi.ity ought to go to a
large city."
No 4: "Swindell will open a whole
sale house in Baltimore."
No. 5: "Tried to do too much here
and could not keep up, is why he goes
to Baltimore."
No 6: "Swindell is a born mer
chant and Raleigh is not large
enough."
No. 7: Swindell is a chump and
did not have sense enough to know
he could not do business in this city."
No. 8: "He is going to Baltimore
to monopolize like he has here, and
will soon read his failure."
No. 9: "Swindell has done the dry
goods business all the harm he can
here and is goiing to try it in Balti
more." .
No. 10: 'Swindell is going to Bal
timore because he expects to do a
larger business, more people to deal
with, larger fields and greener pas-
tuies, and I am glad he is going. He
has kept us other merchants from
making a dollar by cutting prices "
Are the ten reasons good and satis
factory?

lots, one at $5, one at $7 50, one at
$10. Besides these we are offering
bargains all through the wrap stock,
