Republic, while forty States and Ter
ritoriesl have their agents hard at
work putting their displays in order.
Those of the latter and OF the young
er States, including Oregon, " ashing-
ton, Wyoming, Dakota, Montana,
Colorado, Idaho, Nebraska, Kansas,
Iowa, Wisconsin, ETC., will fully sus-
tain their regulations and attract
much attention from capitalists and
others, while their elder sisters, Hill
nois, Indiana. Ohio, Kentucky, Miss
issippi, Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas,
the Carolinas, Massachusetts,, Maine
and Texas, the far off New England
States, in short, the entire sistorhood
will compete in generous rivalry with
rich and varied contributions, to all
of which special attention will be Civ
en- when fully ready for inspection.
But because there Is delay and appar-
emily much confusion at the opening,
let no one suppose for a moment that
there is not an abundance to be seen
already-enough to entertain all visi-
tors. A thousand objects are open
for inspection in city and Exposition,
which is really no further behind at
the opening than was the great Cen
tennial at Philadelphia, which was
not in full running for forty days aft
er the first wheel was started. Rome
was not built in a day, and a work of
such vast magnitude, as this, almost
battles the best talent of the country
to handle it, and where ten thousand
exhibitors are to be located and their
wishes consulted, much delay and
much grumbling must be inevitable,
: but in less than thirty days the grand
est exhibit ever made of human skill
and modern civilization will be fully
open here for the inspection of the
world. Bob.

FASHION GOSSIP.
Taking Stock and the Bargains that
pkeceie 1t.
BY SIDNEY EARLE.

BY SIDNEY EARLE.
For the Sentinel. .ss.
The period preceding the taking Of
stock is one of interest to all! Such
mines of material are marked down
to the purchaser such shiinmering
silks and satins, such cloves" of laces,
such heavenly hats, such wonders in
wood, and curious conceits in crystal,
such laquered 1uminance in leather
and paper mache, such beauties in
bronze and bric-a-brac on sale for a
song. These are among the marYels
Of the marking down season when po-
little dealers dispose accumulated stock
at the customary "bargain counter"
for the most part it is old goods some
times too much stock worn to "carry
over;" but there is house which Of
fers new fresh goods at prices which
put these so called bargain sales to
shame; whose stock is renewed from
week to week in all the fifty two de-
partments comprising the latitude of
the great store cor Grand Allen &
Orchard Sts.! Yet the cost of each
and every article is revelation to
the purchaser and always accord with
their advertisements. 1t is miracle
but they manage it somehow 10 the
tune Of millions, and the great public
receive the benefits accruing from one
of the strongest combinations of en-
terprise and capital the country can
show.
For instance recent sales in
offered at figures which barely cover
the cost of raw material and all things
else i'll proportion. 1t is well to be on
the ground when there is ladder to
descend There is nothing like a
square and solid basis for such trans
action, as characterizes this house a
leader in the processes now in vogue,
at getting at bottom prices in the
pleasantest yet most pronounced way.
This is the season for replenishment
of home stores. Linen presses can be
replenished upon the small profit ba-
sis, which is just now the governing
principle Of mercantile transactions.
Odds and ends of plush for making
lambrequins table mats and tides &c
are purchaseable in almost any shape
and size, class and color varied to
suit any requirements. These are in
marked lots and priced uniformity.
The decorative craze is greatly pro-
NOTED by such provision for home
workers. One of the cutest arrange
ments of this character is concep-
tion of Cooper & Conard cor. 9th &
Market SITS, Philadelphia. A sample
card of the current crazy quilt in la
test designs and rich bright shades so
parceled and priced that no mistake
can possibly occur in filling the order
of out of town buyers. All data re-
quisite for he purchase of any article
from a spool ofsilk to stylish suit is
supplied in catalogue in which the
commercial loaves and fishes of this
time-honored establishment are set
forth in fashion complete and COM

TRINITY COLLEGE MATTERS.

Opening of the Spring Term-Pres,-
dent Aispaugh Writes Hopefully.
From the Raleigh Adcoc4te.
It reioices our hearts to learn that
the Spring Term of Trinity College
has opened encouragingly. With tie
men who are managing it, and the
men who compose the faculty, and
the thousands of true Methodists in
the State, how can Trinity fail of en-
larged success? The future is bright
ening. Let US all go to work in earn
est for the College, and let US go to
work at once. But here are two let
ters of interest; one from Col. j. w.
Aispaugh, President Of the Board of
Trustees and one OF the Committee of
Management, and one from Professor
johnson. We publish them, and our
readers will read them with pleasure:
WINsroN, n. G., Jan. IA, 'o5.
Mr.. EDIToR:-I am happy to be
able to inform you, and through you
the Methodist people generally Of the
State, as we'll as the public at large,
that Trinity College is opening the
new year with renewed vitality, and
with the most encouraging prospects.
Already eighty students enrolled at
the beginning of the session these,
with the Indian class sent by the U.
S. Government, and in the pay of the
Government, would swell the number,
if counted, to one hundred.
With the new, able and vigorous
Faculty now heading the various de-
partments in the College, together
with the additional new outfit OF fur
nitqre and apparatus in the depart
ment Of the Natural Sciences, there is
no reason why any one desiring first
class education for their SONS, upon
the most reasonable and economical
terms, should at one patronize this
Institution.
/ give below an extract of a letter
just received from Prof. l.. johnson,
who recently retired from the chair of
i'll health, but who feels the profound
est interest in the prosperity Of the
College. j. w. ALsPAUGH,

THE NEW COUNTY FEVER.
Some Stray Paragraphs in che State
Press.
From the Vilsou Adzuuce


For a number Of years the people
for several miles on all sides sf Earps-
boro, Johnston county, have desired a
county, and more than once aroused
public sentiment in favor Of the estab-
lishment of a county with Earpsboro
as the countyseat. The people who
live in the territory embraced i'll the
proposed new county are 20 miles
from any Courthouse and suffer no
little Inconvenience because of the dis
tance they are compelled to travel to
attend to business. They insist that
if they are willing to bear all the ex-
pense, they ought to be given county
Of their own. Holding this view they
held meeting at Earpsboro last Fri
day. Prof. O. r. Stringfeld was elect
ed chairman of the meeting and DIR.
Battle was made Secretary. Remarks
were made by a number of gentlemen
and there was unanimous vote in ia
yor Of new county. Resolutions
were passed and petitions will be cir
culated, and active steps taken to
show the legislature the necessity for
establishing the proposed county. The
purpose is to take territory from
Johnston, Wake, Nash, Franklin and
Wilson, and make county which
will be strongly Democratic. If the
originators have not already chosen a
name the Aduanee suggests that the
new county, if formed, be called
SCALES, in honor Of our new Governor.
From the StntesrilEs Landmark
An effort Will be male to iaducs
the Legislature, at its present session,
to lay off a new county from parts Of
Wilkes, Surry, and Yadkin, with Ell
kin or Jonesville, we suppose, as the
capitol. When the necessity for such
a county is not apparent, and when it
is reflected that such a county, III es-
tabiished, would give g Republican
majority compared with which that of
Halifax or E lgecombe would be in
significant, it is only fair to suppose
that the Legislature will go sorter
slow in the matter.
From the Shelby aurora.
Citizens of jackson county will ap-
peal to the Legislature for a new
county, commencing aE the top OF
Cullow hee Mt. at the road where it
crosses saiG mountain, running south
to the South Carolina line, including
small portion of Pennsylvania coun-
ty.

Our Youngest Legislator.


Mr.. Thos. Dixon, of Cleveland coun
ty, is the youngest member of the Leg
islature, in fact his election hardly has
a parallel in this country. He himself
was too young to vote when he was
elected to the Legislature. He was of
age few days before the Legislature
convened. lie is fully capable OF be
coming great politician, having tax
en- the highest course at Wake Forest
College, and being highly gifted with
administrative capacity, and being
too, talented speaker. Our readers
remember that he, went on the stage
in New York year ago, and now he
shows the diversity Of his talents by
writing poetry, specimen of which
appears in the, january number of ths

"TO0 Much Soda in the Biscuit" "

WYE will venture the assertion that this COM
w plaint is heard in many families about 600
times a year. We leave off the other 495 meals
for the times when biscuit was not baked or
when there was too little soda; or, probably the
GOOD man Of the house was in better humor
than usual. The wife always gets the blame
when the bread is not right, because "he" can't
understand why it is that if you use the same
material, in the same quantity, it don't produce
the same result. The good wife protests that she
can't help it, and that she did the best she could,
but that doesn't settle the matter. We know
where the shoe pinches, and also know that 9o Bao
exactly alike every time and even that only after
years of experience. Now, to settle all these
difficulties about "too much soda too done,
mot done enough" ETC., etc, you must blot out
their cause and use BERRY d BARRIERS
bread.
The only reason YOU use biscuits now is be-
couse Won were raised on them, and could get
nothing better and we feel warranted in saying
that if YOU will use our bread for one week, at
the end of that time you will be so we'll pleased
that it will produce melaneholia, from the fac fact
that you have been punished with biscuit SO long
