Look for Sherwood's attractive ''ad" in today's issue. Mr. Wesley Whitaker, the. well kuown magistrate, is daugerously id at bis L. me here. A dog collar has been been left at this oilice. Owner can hate the same by paying fur this notice. Bear in mind the Ualph Fisher con ert at Metropolitan hall next Tues day eeuiug, February 20. J. C. Bobbins and Kennett Bros, have formed a copartnership and will coutiuue business at the same stands. The remains of Miss Florence Tyson were carried from here to Wilson this morning where the funeral takes place today. The rental of telephones has Deeu reduced. The reut is nw '4() a year for business offices and $30 for resi dences. jrHeports from the mountain districts say that the kiioa in the mountains is 20 feet deep in some valleys and drifts. Work on the confederate monument that has been delayed by the bad weather was again commenced this morning. Several farmers braved the muddy roads today and brought in cotton. The receipts were away up for this season 16 bales. The amendment to the usury bill in regard to national banks, as were all other amendments, were voted down today in the house. A negro man, named Elmore, was brought here today and committed to jail for "borrowing a mule" in New Light township Saturday. The Litchford encampment, I. 0. 0. F., hasj engaged the serviees of the Heywood concert company who will appear here March 1st. The snow on many of the paved sidewalks is very dangerous to pedes trians. The snow becomes wet aud packed causing a very treacherous footing, A novelty in the way of a sleigh was seen on the streets yesterday. It was an ox cart with the wooden wheels "scotched" and slid along as smoothly, apparently, as the improved cutter. A number of tramps have been fre quenting the various cotton platforms and sleeping in the cotton these cold nights. These gangs should be bro ken up as their presence in the cotton is very dangerous. irfany telephone and telegraph wires in the uity are down and a large force of men are at work repairing them. The breaks are caused by the heavy sleet of Saturday which weighted down and broke the wires. A negro man was found last night on the llillsboro road moaning with a broken leg. He had stepped into a hole in the dark and his leg was bro ken just above the ankle. He was sent to Ilex hospital and his log set. Last evening Mr. l'arham and Miss Upchurch were taking a sleigh ride on Edenton street. The horse became lfrightened and overturned the sleigh. He then dragged the sleigh into a pump. Neither Mr. Par ha in or Miss Cp.hurch was hurt. Thit morning, as a little girl was passing the citizen's bank building a pair of pincers fell from the hand of a lineman who was at work on the telephone pole at the corner and struck her on the head. She was badly hurt and narrowly escaped being seriously injured. Saturday afternoon the engineer of a shifting engine at Johnson street depot was horrified to see a man lying on the track in front of the engine. When the locomotive was within two feet of him, however, the man gave a grunt and rolled from the track. He was drunk . and had been fast asleep. His escape from death was a miraoule. REMNANTS. These Items Came Easy and Sfll Cheap They are Good, Though. Mr. Logan Terrell is very ill with pneumonia at his hoine on Person street. Mr. John F. Cords left this after noon for Montgomery, Ala., which will be bis home iu future. The Visitor is authorized by Rev. D. H. Tuttle, to aay that the temperance bill comes up tomorrow at 12 m., and he desires every lady favorable to the cause to be present. Not long ago a bill to amend the charter of Baleigh was introduced in the legislature. ' In some strange way it disappeared and has never ',-een found. S' today another bill wa- in troduced in the house, by Mr. L-isk. Mr. Mills tells the YimitoR that . l.ree experts from Chambersburg, Pa., have armed here to put in the mach.uery for the new llouring mills and will do so as soon as the weather permits. The dry-kiln, sawmill and engine for the lumber factory have been ship ped. Governor Carr today made the fol lowing appointments: W. J. Tell, a commissioner of deeds for N. C, res ident iu Philadelphia; T. M. Dobbin, commissioner of deeds, resident in Baltimore; T. M. Tucker, of Be.ids ville, Rockingham county, a notary public. Several republicuns today boldly "bolted" the action of their caucus in regard to the six per cent interest bill. The caucus had ordered its members to vote for the bill just as it came from the senate, but French, EAart, Williams, of Craven, aud Petre voted no. Confedederate Monument. The monument is now nearing com pletion. The granite work being de layed for a short while on account of the intense cold weather. The statuary hes all srrived in Raleigh and is pro nounced by the sculptors in Munich as handsome as can be made. But with deep regret the ladies fear hav ing to give up the statuary. They have worked with zeal, but the scacity of money has prevented their raising a sufficient amount, and they feel un willing to accept Col. Muldoon's offer to credit tsem, for enough money has been raised to complete the granite work and while it is of course a very great disappointment Col. Muldoon can use the statuary on other southern monuments he is now building. Ladies. Mr. Harrison Gray Pisk. Many will kindly remember Harry the sprightly little Jersey lad who but a few years ago spent several winters in Raleigh with the Blacknall boys. He is now Mr. Harrison Gray Fisk, editor and proprietor of the New York Dramatic Mirror, the theatrical paper of the world. Mr. Fisk is not only ahead of all Americans as a writer in this special line, but is a play writer of marked ability. His reeeut produc tion, the district attorney, will make him famous for years to come. It is now having a big run in New York and will doubtless be played on not only every first class stage in this but in other countries. Mrs. Cuningglna Dead. , Saturday Mrs. W. II. Cuuinggim, a highly esteemed and christian lady, died at her home here. . For many months her death had been expected. She was the 'beloved wife of Rev. W. H.

The temperature has risen everywhere east of the Rocky mountains since Saturday. The conditions are favorable for fair, pleasant weather. WcW&rr&irtEiVcr Qrz Vc Sell The State Printing. The anneunceinent of the bids for the state printing and binding have been misleading, as only the bids for type-setting were published,- A com parison of the bids for the whole work shows very lithe diifierence between the bidders. However, as the matter now stands, it will take a committee of expert book-binders and printers to figure out who is the lowest bidder, there being such a diversity of styles and kinds of work to be done. . 6Sr mi Crcsc f fl0 B0I8 ASD OIKLS.
