Mrs. Burnett's ureal llay.
"Little Lord Fauntleroy was writ
ten for the young, and more than a
million children have been made
happy and better by reading it to
say nothing of the thousands and
thousands of older people who have
pereued it with quite as much interest
and deligbt. As a story, "Little Lord
Fauntleroj" has gone through many
editions. Thousands and thousands
of copies of the book have been sold,
and as ready a market has been
found for it in Europe and Australia
as in America Iu its dramatized
form as it will be presented at Metro
politan Hall Tuesday night February
2nd. It has been seen by more than a
million and a half of people, and has
been accorded the distinction of being
the greatest and mast unqualified
theatrical success of modern times.
It will be rreseuted by Mr. French's
own company from the Broadway
Theatre, New York, and will have
the advantages of the same special
appointments that characterized its
production at that house.

LOST THE BET.
- Forest and Stream.
There is a negro man at City Hall
Point so old that nobody knowt. how
old he is one of those old knock
kneed negroes about 100 years old, all
twisted up.
One day the old fellow was slowly
making his way through the village
street when along came a white man,
a very well known character iu that
town, "half seas over " He was prettv
nearly as "full as a goat." and he
happened to have a ritt with him,
and a crsck shot he is. whether
drunk or sober. As soon as he sa v
Uncle Joe seated on a stump he sung
out :
"I say, Uncle Joe, let me put a
potato on top of your head and shoot
it off. I will give you tifty cents if I
burst the potato, or a dollar if I kill
ye."
'I he old negro looked up and re
plied :
',Do you say, boss, you will give me
fifty cents if you bust the potato or a
dollar if yer kill me!"
"Yes," was the reply.
"Well, den, go ahead, boss,'" said
the old man.
7 he potato v as placed on the top
of the old negro's head, and the white
man staggered off about thirty paces
and drew a bead. The smoke and
fire shot from the rifle and the potato
spun high in the air.
He staggered up to Uncle Joe,
fumbled around in two or three of
his pockets, fished out a half dollar
and handed it to him.
The old man seemed very much
surprised. It was a long time since he
bad seen so much money. He looked
at it lovingly, bit it, turned it over,
looked up to Jim and said :
"Well, boss, I'se sorry I did not get
de dollar."
Will Move to Baltimore.
We are not moving to Baltimore
because of lack of business as our
business has been some better so far
in January than last January, and it
is not because we don't like Raleigh,
but because we i xpect a much larger
business in Baltimore than we can
hope to ever have in Raleigh. We
are selling our entire stock of all
kinds of goods at actually what the
goods cost. And our dress goods de
partmeut should be of great interest
to tbe ladies as it will probably be a
long time I e fore another such oppor
tunity to buy dress goods at actually
New York cobt will be had. We have
a very, very large stock of fine grades
of black dress goods, and it will pay
you to examine the line. You had as
well buy these goods now as wait
later and pay more money. If you
will need a carpet any time soon you
had better buy now when there is no
competition. You know well you
will have to pay for what you buy
and pay heavily.
Yours truly
