night. The street cars have resumed oper
atlon to the great comfort of the pub
lic Now let the general assembly give
the Guilford Battle Ground Associa
tion an appropriation of $5,000.
We most deeply regret to learn that
at latest accounts Mrs. W. J. Youug is
critically ill.
The joints and masele are so lubri
cated by Heod's Sarsaparilla that
all rheumatism and stiffness soeu dis
appear. Try it.
The Soiree to be given this evening
at Peace Institute to the fltate offi
cers aud members of the General As
sembly, will, po doubt be an enjoya
ble affair. The doors will be opened
at 7:30 o'clock.
Several legal gentlemen were en
gaged in the Mayor's office yesie day
afternoon, arranging for the preseu'
tation to the General Assembly of the
application to extend the limits of
the city of Raleigh. We suppose the
matter will come up at an early day,
and as it will no doubt be referred to
either the committee on " corpora
tions cr cities and towns1' an opportu
nity will be afforded all citizsaa in
terested to have a hearing in th
premises. At least, it is presuuae.1,
this courtesy will be allowed. It is a
matter of toa much importance not
to receive calm and unbiased consid
eration.
Employment.
Secretary Atkinson of the Young
Men's ChristUn Association keeps an
employment' register, and it would
be well for every young man desiring
something to do, to call and register
his name. Applications are frequent,

&c. Applicants should call between
9 and 10 a. m.

A Western Union bulletin received
here at 11 o'clock this morning, an
nounced the death of this distinguish
ed American citizen. Although his
decease had been long expected, yet
the announcement threw a gloom
over our community. Mr. Blaine

been one of the most brilliant iutel
leots In the country.

Important Suit.
Complaint has been filed by B.
Ltles and otheis, sureties on the
county bond of ex sheriff Rogers
against the ald Rogers and his sur
ities on the state bond for the year
1889 and 18C0. The following explains
the situation.
The point in the case is raised in
the allegation that Mr. Rogers, as
sheriff collected $3,700 of taxes under
schedule "B," which is the merchants
purchase tax, which taxes were due
and belonged to Wake oouoty and
not to the state, and in his settle
ment with the state treasurer for the
taxes due the state for the yer 1890,
that Mr Kogers used this Identical
monv so collected as aforesaid by him,
to pay the taxes due the state. The
sureties on the oouoty bond allege
that this was a breach of the condi
tion of the state bond, and that the
sureties thereon are liable to Lues
and his co plaintiffs for $3,700.
Messrr. Geo. H. Snow and J. O. L.
Harris represent the defendants bat
have not yet filed their answer. The
question at Isbuc is a new and open
one and has not been abjudicated in
this state and is therefore, an in
teresting one to the legal profession
The action will probably be tiled at
the term which commences ou Feb
ruary '27th, next Messrs Armistead
Jones, R H Battle and W H Poce
represent the plaintiffs.

Did You Ever Rld After An
Ox Team ?
If you have it Is unnecessary for me
to say you didn't "get along" very
fast or satisfactory. I venture, you
would not accept a free ticket for
New York in a car drawn by thtyn
You "fsely prefer the more modern
method of travel a Pulman ear at
tached to an express traiu. Yet are
yon aware there are peop'ewho set
aally prefer the ox team They have
been brought np to it, and fail to
grasp the fact that there is a newer
and better way. Gentle reader do
you know that half the people in Rah
eigh are riding after ox teams T No.
Well, it is a fact, I don't mean they
have started CD a trip behind a yoke
of oxen, holding a "gad" in one hand
and yelling "gee, haw Buck, go
along now." What I do mean is this:
Many Raleigh people fail to appreel
ate the advantages and understand
the difference between trading at a
modern Cash Store and one clinging
to methods in force in the days when
mules and oxen were in general use
for means of travel. As the present
railroad system is an improvement
over ox teams, so is business conduc
ted on spot cash lasis (as Swindell)
an improvement over the elastic
priced credit system. T siniplv py
cash for what, you buy is not enough,
you must secure the fullest advanta
gee, buy of an establishment i.hit
sells for cash only , and has the conr
age to refuse credit to any one. Will
a Bank lend you money without in
terest! Will an Insurance Company
insure your house without you pay a
premiamt No indeed, neither will a
merchant extend you credit without
making you pay for it, and many of
them are modern Bhyloclts, hence de
mand a rate well nigh impossible to
pay and live. ;
Yours Truly, t ,
D. T. Swindell.
