1t must have been Just such a day as
yesterday, as regards temperature, when old
Mellebeus chaffed his rival, old Tytterus, for
enjoying the comforts OF an outrageous
beech tree, which the latter claimed God had
nurtured for his express benefit. Had old
Mel. been out on a tramp all day hunting up
items for the morning paper OF that era, he
had right to grumble at old Tyt. for thus
disporting himself after the manner of the
"vsg" of the present Displaying round

What's to prevent the county from mac
adamizing the roads leading from this city ?
She has laborers lying idle in Jail. The old
| and new Raleigh, the Randolph, Pigeon
Roost, fernando and Horn Lake roads
have been surveyed distance of five miles
from the city. The owners OF the land ad-
| i8cent to these roads would contribute come
extra money for the purpose, as our citizens
have for their streets, if they are properly
| approached on the matter. And in what
manner could we better utilize our prison
| labor than by building and improving our
roads?
ALI Davis, owner of hack IA, objects to
! the allusion to him as among the noisy crowd
on the corner Of Second and North Court
street Dight before last. He was not there,
| but his driver, Charles Orr, was passing by
that locality, and seeing difficulty pro-
| crossing between two other colored people,
got down off his box and interfered between
them, succeeding in preventing trouble. This
sets ALI Davis and Charles Orr right, and
the APPEAL takes pleasure in doing SO, as
| both are well known as quiet, peaceable, law
abiding citizens.

The throwing of banana peels upon the
sidewalk is exciting good deal OF feeling,
and Try properly so. But all the talk that
is being m ade on the subject will do no good,
while a few arrests and fines would remind
the gentle gawky who promenades the streets
working his jaws like sausage-cutter that,
while he is thing of beauty, he has no right
to hazard the limbs of Others while gratify
ing his appetite. No well bred person will
perambulate the streets while taking his
"feed," and the throwing of banana peel on
| the sidewalk only demonstrates more fully
| the boorishness of the street feeder. A fine
| of 81 would break his heart, because it would
cut off his supply OF bananas.

John J. Fitzgerald, after which medals and

session-M asters Thomas J. Semmes, George
| Hook and Charles Eader-and that he found

| He therefore suggested a meeting of the
fathers of these three deserving students on
tomorrow or Saturday, in consultation on
| the best method of deciding 30 delicate a
| question.
