A COOP SUGGESTION. 1t being almost
certain that at the election on the 18th

seat from Raleigh to Memphis, cores
pendent of the Avalanche suggests that

place be donated by the County Court to
the town for educational purposes That
is good idea, and we hope the magis-
trates will give the subject due consid-
Grafton.

of the Greenlaw Opera House, has made

rector, in front Of the curtain, he GER
tainly cannot be surpassed With Mr..
Tannehll to control the stage, and with
the excellent stock company now en-
gagged, the sta-s may feel quite confident
of being thoroughly supported.
