The CATHOLIC FAIR.-Despite the
inclemency of the weather goodly
gathering enjoyed the pleasantries of the
Catholic fair last evening. The musical
treat of last Thursday night was repeat
ed, and all present seemed almost cleo
trifed by the delic ious strains of select
music-vocal and MISUNDERSTANDING
lent an additional charm to the gay and
festive scene. The fair will continue
through the week, and excellent music
will be in attendance every night.
Apart from the varied attractions of the
festival, its noble object of charity should
be sufficient inducement to all to con-
tribute literally towards the success Of
the laudable enterprise.
REGISTRATION Because you are not
on committee that is no reason why
you should not assist about the vitality
important matter of registration. If
you know of, or by inquiry can find
out, any person not registered who is
entitled to be, any foreigner not natur-
allied who is entitled to bo, or any per-
son whose name is not on the regstra.
ton lists that is entitled to be there, use
your utmost endcavor to get such per-
son or persons to register-and then to
vote the true ticket-Walker and his
platform. And, on the other hand, if
you know of any person whose name
is on the registration list that should not
be there, 90 at once and report the case
to the city committee. Every citizen
should regard himself as authorized and
charged to act in this matter. Regis
tration is practically the election.
ALL RIGHT Mr.. Il. l.. Nelson, who
was appointed challenger for the Third
ward, by the Walker party, and who
was excluded by DR.. d. W. Todd, be-
cause he couldn't register. has since re.
ceived a certificate of the removal of his
disabilities from the Department at
Washington, for which he applied some
time ago. In accordance Herewith he
registered yesterday, and assumed the
position assigned him as challenger, in
which capacity he will do his party in
calculablo good. Having been j4ilor for
a number of years he has large &C
quaintance with the negro element, and
will doubtless prevent many of them
from i" coming the double " over the
Walkerites.

LINA.-The stock holders of the North
Carolina Central and Raleigh and Gas
ton Railroads, and large number of
