the purpose and careful consid-
GRAFTON of respective advantages,
we have selected the National
Hotel as "North Carolina Head
quarters for the occasion men
toned, and have secured rate
of three dollars per day per in
dividual, which we believe under
the circumstances surrounding
such a time to be very reasonable
and less than has been heretofore
accorded similar bodies. The
National Hotel is situated on
Pennsylvania Avenue upon
which the grand parade takes
place) and Sixth street, just one
block distant from the depot, at
which trains arrive by the Sea-
board Air Line, The Atlantic

arriving by the Norfolk boat
should take the cable cars at the

wards the capitol.
