to mourn. Deceased was Is years old.
The Raleigh Visitor says of him:
MI. Macy was native of Guilford cour-
ty but had for many years been a resident
of this city, where he was we'll and most
favOrably known. He was most estma-
able gentleman in all the relations of life
and enjoyed merited popularity among
all classes Of our people. He leaves

How WE ARE BOTHERED.-Th Coll
LEAF Office is undergoing repairs this week
-hein0 renlasterpd-and this issue is got
out under somewhat trying circumstances
We have been compelled to vacate our
old quarters for the time being, moving
out everything but the press and large inn
posing stone, and those who have had any
experience in that line know it is no easy
job to move printing Office. Think of the
ton Cor less) of dirt Gold plastering knocked
DOWN piled all over the floor where once
we were wont to stand up to our ankles in
the soft and luxuriant folds of our Brus-
sells carpet, that must be moved. But if
after this we have not sand" enough in
our craw to last us through the present
campaign, it will not be because our lungs
are not we'll charged with dust.
