But it cost lot to haul goods from
New York to my stores, and it was a
constant study with me how to reduce
the transportation expenses and shorten
the time required by the methods of
those days.
My first efforts in that direction
were in cooperation with Commodore
Vanderbilt. He was in the boat busi-
ness then, and paid him a good many
dollars for freightagc.
"One year he had a strong competi.

Governor Ogden, and freight rates
were cut away down. 1t was that year
that got the better of the Commodore.
Either he didn't know or had fogotten
that had so many stores, for he said
to me at the beginning of the season
that he would contract to boat all my
stuff across New York Bay for $40.

The goods were brought over all right,
and paid the $40 and no more. But
Vanderbilt didn't try to back down.
He made no fuss whatever, though l
sold several boat loads of goods before
the season was over.

1t seems that there is some mistake
about the trustees of the A. and NJ. Col
lgee giving the students permission to
have dances at the college. The infOrma-
ton was furnished the News and OBJ

another member of the Board says he
was mistaken. A petition was sent in
by the students asking permission to or
ganize german club. Some one laugh
ingly moved to amend by inserting the

the matter was dropped and no official
action was takes. This perhaps ac-
counts for the misunderstanding.

WILL LEAVE US.
Will Close His Office Here April lot

DR.. Matthez will close his office in
Raleigh, at the Marlborough House, April
10th. He can be consulted up until 3
p. m. of that day. 1t may be years and
more than likely never again that one of
the same attainments as DR.. Matthez
will visit Raleigh, from the fact that
those who are eminent in their profession
in the large cities rarely leave their prac-
tice to visit the interior. That DR.. Mat
thez has visited Raleigh many will have
cause for great gratitude, and those who
have failed to consult him, occasion for
deepest regret The number of testimo-
mails that have been published in his
favor have spoken more highly in his
favor than all that could be said. In
his dealings the doctor has made many
friends in Raleigh, owing to his great
ability in his profession, and no one
has heard upon any occasion a single
individual who has visited him who has
not been pleased with his skill in adapt
ing lenses just suited to their defective
vision. 1t is with profound regret tina
his intention is to positively close his of
fee here on Saturday, April 10, as an
nOunced. The doctor had contem-
plated closing his office much
sooner, but from the great num-
bers Of orders in hand, and engage
ments kept him with us long beyond the
time anticipated. But just twelve days
| remain in which to consult DR.. Matthez.
In this Connection it will not prove
amiss to state that any one who fails

his charges are too high, will stand in
