where popular firm of H. We'll &
Bros, + adding a new business
Office to their extensive establish
ment which will be used entirely
for their business correspond

ONE of the coolest exhibitions
of scoundrelism on record is the
declaration Of Lucky" Baldwin,
the turfman, that he was so we'll
known a. a william that he could
not possibly have deceived a wo-

THE Hotel Kennon, which I'm
der the liberal administration of
its generous young proprietor
Mr.. B. H. Griffin, and the ener-
getic %alertness Of its peerless
caterer Mr.. Geo. D. Miller, is
easily the finest hostelry in the

Mr.. Jno. Harvey, of Greene
county, was in the city yester-
day. He reports the farmers of
his section badly behind with
their crops-many of them not
yet having finished breaking up
their ground-on account of the
long continued constant rains.
He says that in many fields the
ground is so thoroughly satu-
rated with water that horses
blowing would mire to their
knees and tanks, and that it
would take weeks of favorable
weather to get the soil in condi-
ton to admit of blowing.

Mr.. and Mrs. Jerman will be at
home, Raleigh, after June 9Th.
The groom has many admiring
friends in this city whose best
wishes will be with him on the
coming happy occasion-and for
aye.

houses, keep up with their &C
