Onr artist could not possibly have hit upon a more appropriate adjective to use in describing our beautiful mil linery. It is indeed ''great" except only as regards the prices; and a good business look through our millinery department will force you to conclude this is indeed the proper place to buy a winter "bat." All our hats are trimmed after the fashion of the new French patterns for this fall. Polite and competent are our patient sales ladies. ! ftespectfull. D. T. Swindell.

The 'possum crop this season is said to be a line one. At Lexington this evening there will be organizd a nev lodge of Knights of Pythians. The populists of Halifax county have nominated Hon. Buck Kitchiii for the senate. It is estimated that before Main's circus leaves the state it will have paid out $1,000 in taxes. Gov. Carr today went to Polenta, Johnson county, where he made his first speech during this campaign. A large number of the best patients in the insane asylum came in today to see the circus, aud greatly enjoyed it. At Philadelphia yesterday a man who gave his name as James Hawkins, of Wilmington, N. ('., was arrested an pickpocket. As soon as state auditor Furinan re turns from Asheville the pension allowance will be made. As yet they are not precisely known. It is said to be very difficult to ob tain enough labor to pick the cotton crop. Such is the news the greater number of the farmers bring in. The cotton crop on clay lands in this section is considerably better than last year, while the crop on sand lands will be almost the same as that last season. Mr. T. C. Mllliken, the republican nominee for congress in this district, emphatically denies the statement that he is "coming down" from the ticket in favor of Stroud, the populist. The car wheel company here will use North Carolina iron just as soon as it can be supplied. Gen. Coke says there is iron in this state far superior to the Alabama iron. The funeral of the late Mrs. Nancy ijelvin was held this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock from the residence of her son, Mr. O. W. Belvin, 020 East Davie street and was attended by relatives and friends of the family. The circus arrived on time this morn ing at 2 a. m. The train was in two sections, one of fifteen and the other of twelve cars.' Despite the early hour quite a crowd of the curious turned out to see it arrive. J. G. Brown, treasurer of Raleigh council No. 551, Royal Arcanum, re ceived a check today for $3,000 to pay death claim of the late Dr. F. L. Reid, who died on the 23rd of September at Greensboro. Travelling- people who come in by Monroe are lavish in their praise of the new S. A. L. eating house there. They say that it is unsurpassed by any similar establishment in, the country. At the penitentiary the convicts are nearly all now making brick. The winter clothing has been distributed. After all the crops have been harvested some convicts will probably be brought back to the penitentiary from the Roanoke farms. Sheriff Adams, of Surry, brough to the penitentiary this afternoon two white convicts; J. T. Broach, -wife murderer, who gets a ten years sen tence, the jury having decided that crime was murder in the second de gree; and B. L. Faison, who gets five years for horse stealing. Mr. Robert W. Clay, whose health had for some time been failing, died last night at his home at Clay, on the Durham & Northern railway, of a com plication of diseases. He came here not long ago for special medical treat ment, bat was too late. He was for a number of years a popular commercial traveller and was well known all over the state. ; Sherwood & Co today occupied the addition totheir store, -work on, which' has been finished to meet the require ments of their rapidly growing trade. They have now more space and a better stock than ever before. Their success is due to liberal and careful advertis ing. - , . .-. ', . Hand polished ourtain polejh 30 eta. each at Thomaa & Maxwell's. THE GRITS. The Performance is Pronounced a Good one. A circus is always hailed with de light in this city au.l section. So the dear people turned out today to see first of all the st red parade. Walter L. Main's circus is new here, but the proprietor is so well pleased that he says it will be along again nest season. The parade on the st reet was carefully viewed. Its great feature was the horses, of which there were no less than 88. ind certainly liner ones were nev i- eon here. There were five bands. The riders made a good ap pearance. The cages were neat aud there were three or four cages of the worst wild camels, w ith their trainers. There were animals, and elephants big aud little and pretty ponies. In all it was a bright pageaut. The performance began at 2 o'clock. By that hour 4000 people were inside the big tent. Their eyes were open, as they wituessed the features of the newest circus on the road. The great features were Stirk and Zeno, who do the fiiiest and most daring Hying trapeze and double somersault act ever seen here, one leap being 70 feet; the riding lion Mohammed which is capi tally trained and rides a horse well, and which was broken and is managed by William Jenkins; Judson and Hom ers, posturers; Miss Ryland, the bare back rider; Mr. and Mrs. Miller, ad mirable riders; Jim Drew, a daring In dian rider; Joseph Barris, riding 21 horses. There are no fakirs. The order is excellent. The police say there is no trouble of any kind. Thomas J. Ford travels with the circus as a spe cial detective. Any meution of the circus would be incomplete if Mr. John Piper, the press agent, were omitted. He is truly one of the clev erest men on the road. Mr. E. D. Colvin is the hustling manager of the show. The side show is quite an at traction. In this is what is known as the "rooster orchestra,". The latter is a great feature and is "something new under the sun." In the side show are also Zazel, the aerial equili brist, and Fred de Faytus, the "wild man." The evening' performance will be gin at 8 o'clock. The tents are near Bledsoe's grove. RALEIGH PAPER MILLS Will be Greatly Enlarged Mr. Holding Buys Out the South Fork Co. Newton Holding, Esq., W. C. Cram and B. E. Ashley retnrned today from Lincolnton where they went to exam ine the machinery of the South Fork paper mills which Mr. Holding has recently purchased. The South Fork mills was one of the largest paper concerns in the south. The machin ery will be immediately moved here and placed at the Falls of Neuse where the works of the Raleigh paper company are now situated. It will greatly increase the daily capacity of the mills and make it the most com plete papei manufacturing 'company in the south. A SADCASE. A Grandson of the Famous William Hooper Insane. Today Gov. Carr received a sad letter from Ridgeway in which he was informed that a 16 year old grandson of William Hooper had suddenly be came vilently insane,: without any premonitory symptoms. The governor was asked to recommend that the boy be admitted to the asylum here. He complied with the request. William Hooper was one of the North Caroli nians who signed the declaration of independence. The Concert Friday Evening. Next Friday evening is the date of the Ralph Fisher concert. Seats will be on sale at W. H. King's drug store tomorrow morning at ten o'clock. Prices are as follows: Reserved seats 75 cents, general admission 50 cents, gallery 25 cents. ';"''."" The circus parade began so prompt ly this morning that many city people failed to see it. They thought it would move about 11 o'clock, AH kinds of curtain poles at Thomas & Maxwell's at 20 cents each. I'.HT PROMINENT NuKTII CAKu UNA I'EOIT.E. Here And Elsewhere In the State. Mr. Charles Home of Clayton, is here. Mr. Will Bailey has returned from Rocky Mount. Mr. James M ,re, of Fayettev ille, was here yesterday. Dr. A. B. llivvkins has returned from Rocky Mount.

A Hard One on M r A prominent Raleigh lawyer tells a good story at t he expense of his grand father, Mr , oneof Raleigh's oldest and wealthiest citizens. The other day some one handed him a small sum of money to be raid o his grandfather. Soon after he saw him standing on a street corner and started to him to deliver the money. Just then he was stopped by an ul I, shabbily dressed man who asked to speak to him a moment. "In a min ute," said the lawyer, and stepping to his grandfather's side gave him the money ;;nd immediately return to the old 1 'an who had addressed him, and asked what he wanted. "Nothing now," said the old man sorrowfully, "I was going to ask you for a quar ter but I (K'e that old feller there is ahead of , n ." Order by the Railway Commis sion. Today the railway commission issued the following order: "On and after December 1. 1894, all exceptions to the standard freight and passenger tarin heretofore granted to the West ern North Carolina railway from Salis bury to Paint Rock are repealed and the standard tariff applied thereto." OBSERVATIONS. The frost is giving a rich coloring to the trees. Nash square is now being prepared for sowing clover. The number of country people in the city today was not as large as usual. : Mr. Charles W. Rainm, Jr., who made buckwheat cakes at the last fair here, is again on hand. He is at Strouach's this weak, and next week will be at the fair. Fayetteville and Wilmington streets were densely crowded this morning with sight seers who turned out to view the parade. Country people predominated in the throng. There were no disturbances'' and very little drunkeness. Raleigh boys assisted the show men and "cut a figure" by riding elephants and ponies in gaily decorated garments. Lady Rosebery's Necklace. Some years ago an old 'Frenchwo man died in a poor part of Dublin, aud her little effects were put up for auction. Among other odds and ends was a necklace of dirty-looking green stone, which did not attract much at tention. However, a shrewd pair of Jews thought there might be "money in it," and decided on purchasing, clubbing together five pounds for the purpose. On taking it to a well-known jewel er he promptly offered 1,500 pounds, which sum' they at once indignantly refused (with hands upraised in righteous horror), and sold the neck lace (of purest emeralds) for 7,000 pounds in London, where lord Rose bery on his marriage purchased it for something like 20,000 pounds! The old Frenchwoman's mother had been attached to the court cf France, and the emeralds had once formed part of the crown jewels. Grace Vaughn, the former operatic I singer, has been adjudged insane at Cleveland. r.x.r. AND TRINITY Will Play Football at Chapel Hill-U. N. C. and A. and M. Play Hero Lovers of football throughout the stale will be glad to b-ni n that defi nite arrangements h:i.. linen made for a game brt.vceuthe I'ni .ei 'it v and Trinity college elevens, the two strongest tenuis in the state. Th game will be played at Chapel Hill next Wednesday aud promises to b one of the most exciting and scientifi cally played games eier seen in the state. It is to be regretted that the game will not be played on some neu tral ground, as Raleigh or (ireeus bsro, but as the Um'.eisity has phyed for the last two seasons on Trinity grounds they stood out for t he g.im at Chapel Hill. Trinity has a splen did record having- been do.wiel bv the University lut r.uce. by tlo-'StJ champions of the south, when sh- was defeated 21 to 0. Trinity won last year's game by a score of (5 to 4. Those who arc in a position to know say that the two teams this year are very evenly matched. Trinity has more veteran players ti her team, but it is said his reached nothing like the degree of team work tuat the Uiimr sity has. A; any rate it will be an interesting st rui.'-g.le and the result will be eagerly looked for throii rli. -u t the state. It will please l!alei::li peo ple to know that a game Let .,ee the University and the A. a ud M . college will be played here lieu X-ttnrdaV-The college boys are doing hard prac tice work and say that the s.-ore tins time will be much less than 41 to (), the seoie by which they were beaten at Chapel Hill last Friday. Almost Ready t o Begin. Today three experts who are to be instructors at the new ear t heel work here arrived from Wilmington, Dela ware, from the principal works of tin Lobdell company. Today the ma chinery was tested and the moulding sanu prepared. I iiesai:'.! comes tnnu a point east of here. In a day or two Mr. Lobdell of the great linn will be here. The first wheels will, as stated. be ready by the time the fair begins. Each v heel made will be dated. By i his sysieni the day of the -month and the year when each wheel is made can readily l e ascertained. Not only can this be done, but also almost the hour when the wheel was cast can be told simply by a look at the uheel. A Marriage this Evening. At. the residence of Mr. Cornelius 1'., Edwards, on West Martin street at !) o'clock this evening his daughter. Miss Flora, will be married to Mr. Guy V. Bunch. The ceremony will be performed in the parlor, by Rev. Dr. J. II. Carter, pastor of the First Baptist church. Mr. Burke II. liuu li is to be best man and Miss Helena 11. Homer maid of honor.
