those who have visited the
South; and it serves q good

to those who have never
been there.

the paper we will send it
three months for ten cents.

A BRILLIANT RECEPTION.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Omego FL.

evening the Mecca of Raleigh society.

hospitable doors to admit the throng of
guests that poured in between the hours
of eight and eleven was reception ten

1t was a pilgrimage eagerly sought,
and of happy consummation. The pretty

come that was charmingly fulfilled. The
guest, bewildered for a moment by the
light, the CLINT of the trailing floral deco
rations, the brilliancy of the throng
that packed the halls and parlors and
refreshment rooms, found in the light
hearted talk and laughter, and that sense
of ease that comes only with perfect en-
Pertaining room for the expression of all
the gladness that was in him.
In detail, the home had put on its
brides dress. Everywhere, the perfect
decorations displayed a sense of artistic
beauty. Walls were well-nigh hid with
their branches of green holly and the
cherry red of it's berries. Here and
there flashed the royal flame of Ameri-
can Beauty roses. The tables in the
Chocolate and dining rooms palpitated
with soft color. Harmony was the ex-
preston of it all-Harmony that APP
pealed to the senses as did the WELCOME
to the heart.
The reception was mutual on the part
of guests and guests of honor, and the
host and hostess, who, with the delight

In the dining room, where were serv-
ed most daintily the most delicious OF

Mr.. and Mrs. Williamson, who were
so gracefully honored last evening, were

Of the most suspicious weddings in the

New York, Jan. 10.-AmOng the pas
sengers who arrived today on board the
steamer City of Washington from Ha-
Vana, was Frederick Funston, Cuban
nsurgent general, who comes to this
country for medical treatment. Funston
is also well known as an Alaskan ex-
plofer. lie has been on the staff of
General Garcia as chief of artillery for
more than twelve months, and was cap
tured about four weeks ago while cross
ing the railroad at Puerto Principe. He
gave fictitious name, and having no pa
pers on his person, was released shortly
afterWard. Mr.. Funston is suffering
from the effects of a bullet wound in his
thigh. He is the son of former Con-
gresham Funston, of Kansas.
Colonel Funston says the outcome of
the struggle in Cuba depends altogether
on the United States. The Cubans will
never give up, nor will the Spaniards.
lie said that the insurgent soldiers and
officers are not paid and cannot be paid
in full unless they win, in which case
Colonel Funston would receive about
$4,000. He said the food and clothing
of the insurgents is poor and their living
precarious, but their courage and hope
are unbounded. He said that the Span
ish soldiers also were not paid, but were
fairly well fed. Colonel Funston said
that while a prisoner at Puerto Prin-
cipe he was well treated by the Spanish
soldiers, and found no evidences of dis
content in their ranks. He declared that
the atrocities upon women and chilpdren
reported from time to time were invaria-
ly perpetrated by the guerillas, and not
by the regular troops.
On the guerillas he admitted the in
surgents often took their revenge.

DOES RAY HOLD TWO OFFICES
The Courts VIII Probably be Called
Upon to Decide.

1t is stated on pretty good authority
that the election of Chas. 3. Ray as
road supervisor and superintendent of
the county home will be contested in the
courts, on the ground that he is now
holding two offices-a thing prohibited
by the constitution.
1t is true that Mr.. Harris, the attorney
to the board, tried to so frame Mr.. Bar
bees motion for Rays election as to
dodge this Professionally simply electing
Ray supervisor and making it also his
duty to perform the duties of the super
intendent. But this is a very thin sub
terri &c, and could not stand if tested in
a court, for it attempts to abolish one of
fee. but in the latter part of the motion
it is provided that the pay of Ray shall
be $500 out of the road fund and $500
out of the county fund.
If there is no supervisor. then it is IL
legal to pay him out of the road fund,
and if there is no superintendent. he can
not be paid out of the county fund.

CHANCE FOR BUSY PEOPLE
NO ASSISTANT LIBRARIAN WILL
BE EMPLOYED.
THE EXTRA COST WILL BE VERY SMALL
The Board has for Sometime Been Trying
to Make Arrangements to Open the
Library at Night--Some I'm

Just Criticisms.

The State library will, at an early
date, be opened to the public at night.
This means much to Raleigh.
There are great number of people
here who would most gladly take ad-
vantage of this valuable collection of
books, were the library opened at such a
time as to permit their doing so.
The board having the matter in
charge realize this and were considering
how it could be remedied when some
newspaper criticisms, which they con-
sidered very unjust, were made.
This seeming attempt to drive them
t. do what they were trying to arrange
to do has perhaps somewhat delayed the
opening of the library at night But it
VIII be done, and at an early date. All
the members of the board are in favor of
it and have for some time-before the
matter was ever suggested in the news
papers-been trying to make an arrange
ment whereby it can be done without too
great additional cost to the State.
1t is now about decided to open the
library from 10 to u O'Clock and from
2 to 6, then from to 10 in the evening.
This could be easily done without the
employment of another librarian and
therefore without additional cost-except
for lights-a mere trife.
And how great boon it would be,
especially to those who are busy during
the day and have few books of their
own.
What pity it is that this has never
been done before. As the library has
been run it has been robbed of its great
est usefulness.
If the present board will change this
old order of things, as they are preparing
to do, the people of Raleigh viii be ever
gateful to them.
