Our subject received liberal educa-

helu for his business career and hence
made his advent into RilleIgh, where he

For a period of five years he was enl-

SO large a concern is necessarily made

.srally pleasant to mention those firms
who thoroughly understand and respond
Gberally to the demand of increasing
trade. Such houses, and there are sew
eral in Raleigh give stability and reflect
honor on the commercial interests of this
steadily growing center. Messrs. Dob
bin and Ferrall stand conspicuous, and
are regarded as leading all North Caro-
lima in the dry goods world of the State.
The present firm dates its inception
back to February, 1898. Mr.. II. w.

State. Particular attention is given in
this department and the very best cut

tractive appearance. Employment is
given to eighteen people, who thorough

are numerous, and by no manner of
means confined to Raleigh. The firm
caters to the very best element of trade
throughout North Carolina. Their well
organized mail-order department, insures
the prompt delivery of all orders.
The business has been gradual in
crease and expansion until the firm has
reached its present high pinnacle.
Mr.. T. w. Dobbin, the gentleman who
attends to the buying and the man
agement of the store, was born and rear
ed in Raleigh and has been connected
with this business since 1866. He il
considered by far the best known and
best posted man in this line in the State
and is gentleman of polished and cill

committee, Water committee and Bureau
of Charities. He did an immense amount
Of work. While chairman of the Fin
ance committee he succeeded in placing
$4,000 of the city's money out at inter-
est on real estate. This gave the city an
income from money that had been idle
for period of four years.
In all of his work in that body he
has shown disposition to protect the
city and at the same time to do all III
his power to advance the interests of the
city in a conservative yet progressive
manner. AS a member of the present
Board, Mr. Mcdonald is chairman of
the committee ON Lights. 1t may here
be stated that Alderman Mcdonald was
the only member of the present Board OF
Aldermen who originally favored the
issuance of four per cent bonds, during
the recent bond issue. He advocated
that these bonds be made at four per
cent interest. However the Board did
not agree with him and passed the five
per cent issue. subsequently the Board
re-considered their action and agreed
WITH Mr.. Mcdonald by passing the four
per cent bond issue.
He was also very much opposed to is
suing more than $4,000 of the S100,O0O
voted. during any one year. His reason
for this. is the fact that the city will
have to pay $1,000 upon the bonds they
cannot use. The Board saw proper
however, to issue the full 100000.
In politics the Alderman is staunch
advocate Of Democracy and has always
contributed to the success of his party
I'm 1882 he married Miss Lula Troy, OF
Fayetteville North Carolina. the talented
and accomplished daughter of Ex-senator
W. C.. Troy, and this union has been
blessed with seven children, all of whom
are living, five boys and two girls. He
enjoys all the comforts of pleasant and
happy home.
ian concluding the sketch Of this estima-
bic gentleman, the writer would say that
Mr. Mcdonald is a self-made man IN
every respect and his friends III Raleigh
are legion, and are only limited by the
number of his acquaintance. His pro-
gressiveness in all matters makes him Il
valuable assistant in the city's resources.
is success in life is due to his untirlng
energy. integrity and upright business
methods he has pursued. May he long
serve the city in the Board of Aldermen

writer. Such men aid in the building of
