Every Professional and Business Man
and City and County Officials
Should be Represented.
Should be Represented.

The News and Observer always tC
the front in enterprising journalism vii
shortly issue a complete epitome OF
Raleigh and Wake county. Raleigh has
grown in the past few years; strangers
have fiocked in on all sides, and our bust
ness and professional men are unknown
TO many of their neighbors; the strangers
do not know them; the new Corners are
unknown to the old citizens.
The News and Observer will intro
duce them-make one acquainted with
the other-and place all before the pco-
ple in a light that will enable all TO
know them, feel friendly toward them,
and be treated kindly by them.
To accomplish this great good, and by
this means to benefit the entire commu-
nifty, we will issue a grand special edi-
ton of the News and Observer.
The extra edition will comprise not
less than 10000 copies, and a paper will
be sent to the voters (white) of THIS
COUNTY and the residue to the
COUNTIES AND TOWNS SUR
ROUNDING Us.
The edition will be prepared in a
style that will attract attention, and
compiled in such a manner that one and
all will be eager to peruse its columns
and grasp at the. information contained
therein.
To be thoroughly complete it should
contain brief mention of every county,
city and government official, each mem
Der of the bar and medical fraternity,
and in fact every professional business
man in the community and county.
1t will certainly afford one and all
an opportunity for the merchants and
business men generally to reach all of
the people of this entire section for their
spring trade.
Few cities have as many public-spirit-
ed men as Raleigh. Let ii he said that
she leads, never follows. and thus show
the outside world that she now occupies
the top round of the ladder in the great
State of North Carolina.
The edition will be published in the
course of some weeks. Mr.. Hal David,
of Texas, the expert Southern descrip-
tive writer, whose reputation in this line
has become national, has been secured
by the News and Observer management
to conduct the work. He is assisted by
a large and able corps. Mr.. David and
these gentlemen thoroughly understand
the business, and you can rely upon any
statement made by them to be facts.
The many favorable comments of the
Southern press passed upon Mr.. David
bespeak the character of his work for
the News and Observer.
BY means of this special edition we
will accomplish good that could not be
done in years by any other method. Let
all join and help the work to an excel
lent ending.

could assist us in rendering a better or
more perfect drug store service. Pure

citizens, and it is one that appeals 10
every person who is interested, either in
the welfare of Raleigh, or in that OF
the orphans of the State.
