-Rey. ID. a. Glenn, OF Littleton, has
accepted a call to a Petersburg Baptist
church.
Mr.. a. T. London of'Wilmington
has removed to birmingham, Ala, to
practice law.
DR. w II Davis, ofKittrell, has leased
Or. Newland's house in Lcnoir, and will
remove to that pleasant little town the
first Of the year.
-sInspector-G General +. Fl. Cameron
spent several days of last week in Eliza
beth City. The ~"Pasquotank Rifles"
will parade tomorrow.
The firm of VIM. Simpson & Co..
Druggists, has taken the agency for Sim
mons Liver Regulator, which still holds
its grip on the public estimation.
Rev. James Maple, the gifted Lectu-
rer, has accepted a call to the Raleigh
Christian church and will at cnce remove
here. He will be an acquisition.
There will be general qualification
III learning that Maj, II. +. Petty, who
had a serious fall through a trap-door,
last week, is again able to be at his
desk.
r. II. Battle Esq. and Judge Fowle,
have probably 1ained more Of personal
popularity during the campaign than any
other Gentlemen not in the field as caL-
didates.
The adoption Of endorsing resc-
buttons by an officers subordinates would
have more weight il the public knew to
what extent the vote was voluntary and
un-instigated.
Geo. Z. Stronach, Esq. has been
given the Raleigh agency for u. f. Foutz
Cattle Powders heretofore held by Bob
bitt 4 Garrett. No intelligent cattle-man
at the North would be without Fontz's
powders.
We hear that MIR. jos. A. Haywood
is not among the aspirants for Raleigh
pOstofice. The names of Messrs. B. r.
Lacy, r. III. Battle, and w. III. Jones
are frequently heard on the street in that
connection.
Raleigh families who desire take to
members Of The Legislature as boarders
would do well to spend a dollar in adve;-
ing the fact one month in our columns.
We have had a number of letters asking
for nice places to board.
Rev. Columbus Durham, a brother
Of Capt Plato Eurhlm, and a nephew
Of Judge John Baxter of Tennessee and
Ex-Gov. Elisha Baxter, of Arkansas,
has been called to the Second Baptist
church, Raleigh, vice Rev. w. r.
GWaltney, resigned.
MIR. and VIM. Woolcott have re-
turned from the North, and their double
barreled counters are again heavily "load-
ed" ard you had better go to see them
before they ego off, +" and scatter Christ
mas novelties all over creation and the
outside townships.
Mrs. Garfield has appointed j. Ran
dolph Tucker, of Virginia, as guardian
for her minor children. This refers, we
suppose, simply to the estate il the
South, left by Garfield, who waved the
"Bloody Shirt in politics, but bought
lands in Virginia and North Carolina in
private.
-Smithfield Herald says: Miss Alice
Lamonds, Mss Florence Telfair, Mrs.
Elbridge Smith, and little Mabel Wood
ard oe Raleigh are visiting friends in
Smithfieid.
By the by, Mr.. Walter Womble. of
Raleigh, has begun q story in the Herald
that seems well written and interesting.
Valuable farming land, near Neuse
River, only s miles from Raleigh, in
n of the most prosperous sections of
Central Carolina. If any of our North
ern or Eastern readers wish to secure an
old-time plantation, productive of fine
cotton on the lowlands and fine to-
bacco on the uplands,-the card of
Jos. d. Powell speaks for itself.
We hear from several sources that
Col. James d. Glenn, of Rockingham
will be urged by his friends (and they are
legion) for speaker of the House. l ESQ,
he will likely make a strong run. He
is a farmer. but well experienced in pub
lie bodies and during his legislative
career has stood up for the people on
more than II occasion when a power
full lobby tugged to get him down.
Perhaps the handsomest political
card issued this year came from Nor
folk, Va, inviting us to participate in the
big Democratic jubilee last night. 1t is
shaped like a wedding card; with the
Coat of Arms oil Virginia on one flap, and
a very joyous rooster on the other. NJ.
Glennan ESD, was Chief Marshal, Messrs
Leroy Shields, Washington Taylor and
Geo. w. Church, invitation committee.
The parade was splendid; the city illumi-
mated, etc. The "Lambists'' felt very
sheepish.
Thanks to Rev. w. G. Clements for
a ticket to the lecture Of Rev. James
Maple, at Tucker Hall, Nov. "a, in aid
of the Raleigh Christian Church. Sub
ject,-"The wit and Eccentricities of
the Pulpit" We hear that it was an
enjoyable lecture.
The new church which was begun in
a quiet and not very promising manner,
some two years ago is nearly ready for
occupancy, and calls forth compliment
sary remarks from those who know the
long struggle of Mr.. Clements, Mr.. Bar
