j MUtU r VOL. XXVI. RALEIGH, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1892. NO. 91 NEWS NOTES ABOUT THE CITY. What Our Importers 8 e and Hear Worth Giving to Our Readers News In Brief. Cold wave expected soon. The succulent shad Is fast encroach log upon the festive oyster in the es timation of our epicures. There will be a meeting of the Kings Daughters at Edenton Street Methodist c' urch tomorrow night. The docket of the Bprlng and turn mer term of the Supreme Court, is unusually light A slight incr. ase in the receipts of cotton to day, bat no advance id prices. A circular will be issued in a few days arising instructions for curing nrhi. ami other cereals for the Chicago Exposition. The registration of lien bonds and mortgages at the office of the Register iwdn still continues slim. This loo s like retrenchment and reform. Although the cry of hard times it heurd on all sides, the sheriffs of the State have teen almost as prompt as usual with their settlements. Wm G. Hill Lodge, No. 218, A F. & A. M, will meet in regular com munication tonight at 7:80 o'clock. Visiting brethren invited. Work up the Governor's Guard, there should be a hundred members Get ready, so that they can go to the Chicago fair with full ranks. Cards ere out for the marriage of Miss Eliza Skinner, to Mr. Geo. Badger McGebee, which will take place at Chris Church tomorrow af ternoon at 6 o'clock. For some res son best known to themselves the Gorman Minstr Is have not put in their appearance as announced for Metropolitan Hall to night. The funeral services last Saturday on the part ol the Knights of Pythias, over the remain b of the late Francis W. Sherwood, were conducted in a most impreaeive manner by Rev. Mr Foster, of the Christian Church. It seems to be the understanding in Republican circles here, that if thai party makes a nomination for Gover nor, Jeter C. Pritchard, of Madison, will be the man. We are reliably informed that the donations made at Edenton Street M E. Church yesterday afternoon, to the Orphan Asyb'm under the care of Rev. Samuel P. Jones in Cartersville, Georgia, amounted to $36 70. The StPte Agricultural department has issued a circular of advice to farmers and others, to burn all trash and rubbish around their premises, thereby destroying the seeds of nox 1 u8 weeds, disease germs and eggs of harmful insets. The advice should be well heeded. Attention is directed totheadver tisementof Messrs. S- & D. Berwanger in this issue. These gentlemen give a most important warning to the pub lie which should be heeded, as it as sures them of the manner in which they can procure- some of the best b trgaips ever offered in this city. We hear that, there will be much bnilding.in operation here during the coming spring and summer months. We hope that those investing will pay special attention to houses suit able for small families of which there is great need. In fact, it is almost impossible to rent houses for our rapidly increasing population. Mr. Randall our popular artist, is now engaged on an oil painting of the late Gov. Fowle, to be placed in the Executive Mansion. It will be a most admirable picture, and represents the Governor sitting in a chair. Mr. Randall will soon leave us for a course of study in Europe, and will be ab pent about two years. W6 wish him jmuoh Drummers are complaining of short orders for spring goods. The health of the Soldier's Home continues to improve, but there are mauy articles of comfort needed. Let all whe can, help out. After Ihe services yesterday morn ing six persous united themselves with the Edenton Street M.E church, of whom three were baptized. Rev Mr. Cole, the pastor, officiated. Would it not be better to run aeon tinuous line of the electric cars from the fair grounds terminus to the union depot. It frequently happens that the delay at the switch at capi- tol square is tedious. A continuous line would be much better. The revenue receipts for stamps alone at Durham, last week, were $6,428.88, and some of the factories .were not running on full time. Surely Durham is entitled to the compli ment of a new government building We have heard but little talk re cently of the scheme to extend the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad to the west. As it is, it seems that the contraction is too gi eat for it to become anything like a well paying corporation. A move of some sort from its cramped condition wouM be beneficial. We hope the next General Assembly will jrive the matter some attention We had the pleasure of receiving a call today from Mr. Herbert Bonner, representing the Paine, Deihl Co., of Philadelphia, who will canvass the city with the new self pouring pot, a full description of which will appear tomorrow. Be sure to see this self pouring coffee urn. It will be a pride to the household and thoroughly eco nomical. Good canvassers wanted. Address this office. We would kindly remind our friends that it would be a matter of much convenience to them no less than to ourselves, if any marriage or death occurs in a family they should send us the particulars in order to ensure prompt and correct insertion. It is, of course, a matter of some delicacy to visit private families for such par ticulars and at times, it may be that we cannot be informed without such visits. We publish such news free of charge as they are items which the public should be informed of. Last week a Nebraska farmer was acquitted in court for killing a book agent who persisted in trying to make him purchase a book. Exchange. There are times in a man's life when the old idea "that forbearance cesses to be a virtue," comes in, and it may be the jury in this case so held. We deeply regret the loss of the book agent, while we must think the farm er was entitled to some sympathy. Personal mention. Col. Patrick H. Winston, a former well known citizen of North Carolina, but now of the State of Washington, is in Chapel Hill on a visit. Gov. Holt returned last Saturday afternoon from a short visit to his home at Haw river. Mr. W. J. Hall who for some time has been a clerk in the store of Mr. H. H. Crocker, has accepted a posi tion in Durham. We regret to hear that Sergt. 0. H. Lewellyn is confined to his home with sickness again. We hope soon to see him at his post of duty. Be elected. At a meetiDg of the stockholders of the North Carolina Insurance Com pany held last Saturday, the old board of directors and all the present officials were re-elected. Mayor's Court. There was the usual Monday morn ings attendance at the Mayor's court today. S. M. Jones (colored) for being drunk in t e market last Saturday night; dismissed without fine. Danl. Clor.se for disorderly con duct. It whs a difficulty relative to an account for which the defendant had been asked payment from "Aunt Manda." The trial was postponed until 5 o'clock this afternoon on ac count of absence of witnesses. Weather Bureau. The following weather forecasts have been received by telegraph from the chief of the weather bureau at Washington, D. 0.: Monday, February 8th, '92, It a. m. For North Carolina, Monday, fair ex cept rain and cloudy along the coast, colder. Tuesday, colder and probably fair. A High Compliment. It is intimated that Rev. A. C. Dixon, a native of North Carolina, and a brother of Rev. Thos. Dixon, is spoken of prominently in connec tion with the vacancy in London, caused by the death of Rev. Mr. Surgeon. This would be a high com pliment to our State, and we should much like to see it consummated. 50 Barrels Seed Potatoes. S Selected Early Rose, Peerless and Goodrich, at D. T. Johnson's. Fresh crackers, Tarbell cheese and macaroni at D. T. Johnson's. Sam Jones. It is no use talking, he is a great man. No man can draw the crowds he does, and hold his audiences as he can and does, unless there is some thing in him above the average. While he lets a great many express ions drop from his lips, that but few men would dare to utter, and makes the nerves of his audiences tingle there is so much of solid truth, so strongly and strikingly expressed, that the objectionable expressions themselves become rather a means of, holding the attention of and impressing his audience. People may abuse and say what they please about Sam Jones,but one thing ptands out beyond dispute he is genuine. To use his own termhe's got re ligion. His audiences at Edenton street church yesterday greatly need ed room. Oranges. 15c, 20c and 40c per dozen at D. T. Johnson's. Bled. At the residence of Mrs. E. A. Nixon on Fayetteville street, near the Cen tennial Graded School yesterday morning about 8.45 o'clock, Mr. N. L. Jones, aged about 37 years. Mr. Jones was a son of the late W. H. Jones, cashier of the old bank of Cape Fear, and was a young man of much popu larity. He leaves one brother and a sister to mourn his loss with whom we deeply sympathize. The funeral took place this afternoon at 4 o'clock from Christ Church. At the residence of Mr. Henry Pen nington, corner of west Davie and Dawson streets, at .SO o'clock this morning, Miss Martha W. Maynard, aged 79 years. She was born in Sur ry county, Va., but she resided in the family of Mr. Pennington for the past 85 years, being an only sister of his wife. She was a lady univer sally respected. We extend our sym pathy to all afflicted by the sad dispensation. In Swift Creek Township, Wake county, six miles from Raleigh, Jan. 23 1892, Mr. Anderson Stephens, aged 96 years. Mr. Stephens left ten chil- pren all of whom survive him. He was the grand father of thirty eight children, and was born and raised in Wake. He died in possess ion of his mental faculties and with a firm hope of future reward, being a consistent member of Macedonia M. &. church. It is said, that the Asheville delega tion on the matter of the appoint" ment of a new Superior Court Judge are somewhat divided. We are will ing to leave the matter to a full discretion of the Governor. Time Growing Shorter. We have but forty eight more days in which to sell our stock out before we move to Baltimore, then the op portunity of buying goods at whole sale prices will be a thing of the past and you then must pay the regular retail price for what you get, and even mote, because the price of every thing will be put up by the other merchants when Swindell draws out and leaves you to the mercy of the hungry fellows who have not made a dollar since Swindell came to Rah eigh. These fellows will make you sweat great drops of blood when they get the reins. Most anything you may want you can now get at Swin dell's and at wholesale price. We have lots of white goods, evening dress material in silk gauze and netts and a thousand different things which you must buy right soon. Get a carpet while you can at wholesale price. Yours truly, D. T. Swisdell. An Interesting Occasion. J As previously announced. Rev. J. J. Hall, pastor of the Baptist Taber nacle, in this city, will deliver an ad dress next Wednesday night at 7:30 o'clock on the life and character of the late Rev. C. H. Spurgeon. It will no doubt be an occasion of great in terest, as almost everybody is ac quainted with the reputation of the great English divine, and Dr. Hall is doubtless most familiar with the sub ject matter of his proposed discourse. Hardware, &c. SPECIAL NOTICES. Furniture repaired by D. P. Has kett at W. S Uzzle's music house, No. 12 Hargett street. fe3 6t For Rent.

We have a "job table" upon which we are showing several lines of our ladies finest shoes at $1.50 to $2 50 per pair, less than they are worth. We are just through stock takintr and find that these shoes have not been selling quite as fast as thev should, so we have cut the price to hurry the sale.
