State cenlntrist. Prof . J. A. Holmes,
is delivering some most interesting
lectures, we would use 10 near uui

able deposits in Wake county, of
which there are a large quantity.
Teacher's Assembly.
As recently stated, Maj. Eugene G
Harrell is making unusually early
preparations for the meeting of the
Teachers' Assembly the present year,
which promises to be the most inter
estiag yet held. In connection with
the assembly, the educational expo
sition will take place, and this will be
on a scale of considerable magnitude.
Space has been arranged for the State
University, the Agricultural and Me
ohanical College, St. Mary's school
and the graded schools of Raleigh,
Wilmington. Goldsboro, Greensboro,
Charlotte and Winston. The princi
pal schools of the State will also have
an exhibit, and the cause of educa
tion will be better represented in
North Carolina than ever. During
the month of July the Bouthern Ed
ucational Association will be held
Atlanta, Georgia, and as this
formed under the auspices of the
teachers' Assembly of this State, at
its session in July, 1890, it will be of
peculiar interest to our people.
There will be a rare treat for lovers
of music and elocution Friday
' evening, at the residence of Mrs.
Kreth, 116 Edenton street, where will
be given, under the auspices of "Lend
a Hand Circle,' a mrsicale. The pro
gramme, rendered by Raleigh's best
tahnt, will be music, vocal and in
strumental, recitations and reading.
It is given for the benefit of the nee Jy
poor of the city, and the circle has
been particularly blessed in having
the favorite voices of the city and
Peace Institute lent for the occasion.
Come and help us. "Lend a Hand
Circle" of the King's Daughters.
The entertainment will be render
ed all the more attractive from the
fact that Mr. Horwitz, of the Ray L.
Royce Company will sing some of his
choice selections and Miss Jesse Lind
say will execute some of her most
fancinating dances.
The Board of Directors of the Y. M
C. A. held a meeting last evening in
Dr. Battle's office in the Agricultural
building. The reports of the collec
tors and committees were encourag
ing. The committee appointed to
see what rooms could be obtained
and report upon their suitableness,
&c, reported and were continued,
with power to select and contract for
the most suitable they could get.
Mr. N. B Rroughton was added to
the committee. The board are de
te; mined to procure as attractive a
suit of rooms as are obtainable. It
is to be hoped that those who have
desirable rooms will show their pub
lie spiritedness by doing their part
towards helping on this great public
benefit.
An Opera House
Almost every day demonstrates the
necessity of a first class opera house
in this city. It is an undeniable fact
that the matter of amusements
of a varied kind is becoming more
popular among our people than ever
before. A visit to Metropolitan Hall
on nearly every occasion of an enter
tainment, will prove that there are
numbers of our citizens who formerly
did not attend, now liberally patron
ize such shows as are not offensive
Such being the case, it is proper that
we sltou'd have a building that would
draw here entertainments of the
highest character. There is hardly a
city the size of Raleigh in the entire
country that is without an eligible
opera rouse and we hope some of
our entergrising citizens will not long
allow us to be lacking in this respect.
Death of Francis M. Sherwood,
It is with the deepest regret that
we announce the death of this most
estimable and popular gentleman
which took place at his residence,No.
121 North Blood n orth street, at one
o'clock this morning, from pneu
monia.
Mr. Sherwood had been sick for
some ten days, and at the time of his
death was in the 28th year of his age.
He was and had been for some years
an engineer on the Raleigh and Au
gusta Air Line Railroad and stood in
the highest role in the confidence of
the company. He was a member of
Phalanx Lodge, No. 34, Knights of
Pythias and also a member of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin
eers. Mr. 8herwood was a grand son
of that well known citizen of former
years, Mr. Chas. Dewy, cashier of
the old State Bank of North Caro
lina. He was a son of Rov. John Mil
ton Sherwood, and was born in Fay
etteville Nov. 27thv 1864, while his fa
ther was paBtor of the Presbyterian
church of that plac6.
He leaves a widow, two children
and an only brother, Mr. John Sher
wood, to mourn their lass, with whom
the Visiior most deeply sympa
thises.
The funeral will take place at 11
o'clock tomorrow morning from the
First Presbyterian Church.
Assured.
On Wednesday evening last a meet
ing of the leading business men of
Greensboro took place, at which the
necessary fiaancial arrangements
were made for the location of the
colored Agricultural and Mechanical
College in that place. This seems to
settle the matter.
Called.
The members of the First Baptist
church, at Durham, have extended
a unanimous call to Rev. H. W. Bat
tie, of Wilson, to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Rev. J.
L. White. A committee was appointed
to notify Mr. Battle of the call.

arrangements to attend the funeral
of their brother, the late Francis W.
Sherwood, which takes place tomor
row mortdng at 11 o'clock from the
First Presbyterian church. Members

A Good Showing.

by the secretary of war. relative to
the military service in the different
States, thus alludes to our State :

eight on the general staff officers,

dred and fourteen musicians, nine

Mayor's Court.
The mayor this morning had some
what of a spur up in the official line.
A colored man named F. Nash was
before bis honor on a charge of being
drank and disorderly in Smith's bar
room, near the market. He was fined
$5 and costs.
Lucinda Fowler, a white woman,
was arraigned for being drunk and
soliciting on the street. Fined $5 and
costs
Green Hill, a good nature ! looking
gentleman from the country, had im
bibed too much; and was down on the
street. It appears that this was his
first offence before his honor as he
had not drank for two years. He was
cautioned and allowed to depart with
out damage.

Whipcords and Vigognes at $1.
Our special sale of vigognes at $1,
worth $1 50 and $1.75, has met with
splendid success, and to continue (.he
line with as good assortment, of shades
as when first begun, we have added
an even greater value, 50 inch all
wool whipcords, cost to land $t 50,
but we will offer them along with the
vigognes at $1 pr yard. This is a
clear loss of E0c per yard; but it keeps
the line complete for a short time
longer, and every one can save that
amount on these excellent drees ma
