Oar Depot.
For years Raleigh bas been calMcg
long and loud for a new and modern
passenger depot. The call wat, a jnst
one, perhaps no capital city needed
one mire. 'The railroad companies
have at last heard our cry and given
ut a new handsome modern depo.
I doubt if there is a better one in the
8oufh in any city no larger thin
Raleigh. We would no doubt have
bAen glad to have the new house on
th old spot. But at much expense
e,nd i convenience the railroads have
given us not only a new building but
a new and convenient location. But
alas, we are not satisfied; we want the
new and modern depot, but then wo
we it it conducted on ''ancient plans "
We want to run in and out We
want to crowd around the cars when
they arrive. We want to meet orr
friends half a minute earlier and help
them with bags and boxes thirty feet
long further on the way. Vv e are so
indignant at being "fenced out"
that some boldly claim the
superintendents are stupid and
the rules laugnabie, and then sign
"traveler" to the communication.
Now this writer is not a traveler but
he has traveled some and be would
Use to submit that such criticism of
the officials and their rales is entirely
upjust and in bad taste.. Can any
person go through the gates to help
a friend along or meet a friend at any
depot north on any well regulated,
railroad certainly not Every person
going to the train must hive a ticket
and show it to the gate keeper, thus
acoiaents and uncomfortable crod -ing
are prevented. What are the
gates for, pray 1 What is the use
clamoring for cross road rules for a
olty depot. The railroads have given
us a modern city depot with city
rules, do let us be satisfied and be a
city.

At the Bedal Iiibtitnte.
At the hours of 8, 12, 4 and 8 o'clock
of eacbdty it is interesting to be at
the Bedal Institute and witness the
treatment or the patients There
have been new arrivals all through
this past week and every mail almost
brings news of others coming. Dr.
Biker, the physician in charge, is a
gentleman of great kindness of heart
as weUas skill in his profession, and
all feel great confidence in his care
Upeaking with n gentleman who
gia')uated a few days ago he said,
No man, it seems to me, could have
a greater thirst for liquor than I had
when I entered the Bedal Institute,
aud now no one feels more determined
not to drink again I have no
more desire for it than if I had never
known the taste."
Mr. Moseley, of the M.iseley House,
where the Institute is located, is
pleasing all with the ex ellent ac
commodations in board and lodgiag,
and the many attractions in Raleigh
make it a favorable place foi such an
institnte as Bedal

wearing, comfortable shoes, some do
not. Those who do not, now have an
opportunity of finding out by buying

other shoe on the market. You only
have to try one pair of Reynold's
shoes to be convinced that they are
the shoes to have- Now if you would
save money and at the same time get
the best, call at Swindell's.
