THE AGRICULTURAL BULLETIN

The State Agricultural Department
must pay postage on the monthly bulle-
tins issued by the Agricultural Depart
ment. 1t will be remembered that the
government transmitted this matter free
of charge when the Agricultural De-
partment and Experiment Station We're
consolidated, but the last Legislature
divorced these departments. hence the
government rescinds it's free transpOr-
ton" order. 1t will be the effort OF
the department TO make this bulletin OF
some real practical value to those re
ceiving it. 1t has not been of any value
for the past two years.

The best index of the growth of busi-

ceipts. Since Mr.. Bailey became post
master, the receipts have increased suf-
ficiently to warrant an increase of the

HOW RALEIGH GROWS.
The Receipts of the Postoftice Show 8
Steady Yearly Increase.

Mr.. c. 7. Bailey, postmaster of Raj
eigh. tells us that the increased postal
receipts of the year 1898 over 1897 was
between $1,000 and $4,000. The follow
ing figures of the dullest quarter in the
year, furnished us by Postmaster Bailey
shows the steady increase of receipts
for the past three years:

editor. We thought from the book we
received from the VOICE Office es a pres

Republican literature, but from the ar
ticle entitled "An Object Lesson" in
the issue dated June 8, the editor has
not been taken in by trust yet.
We notice that someone states in the
VOICE Of last week that ninety-nine out
Of every 100 would sign petition to
pardon Reed. We think that only one
out of ninety-nine would sign Il and we
do not know whow that one is. Mr..
Reed used to be our Sunday school
teacher and perhaps he thinks that a
Sunday school superintendent will par.
don him out. Seventy-Six has no SYM
pathy for man who destroys homes and
makes orphans, and if he he is losing
his mind the state can take care of him
better than the county.

Making Arrangements for Old

A Meeting Held In the Commissioners
Room at the Court House Last Night,
and Assignment Of Characters
Made-Conventlon to be Held
During the Last Of June.

The City Federation of wemen's
clubs held a meeting in the commits.
sioners' room at the court house Mon
day and took steps for pushing the
work OF giving the "old maids con.
vention," which is to be held In the
opera house or auditorium the latter
part OF the present month. The
women have been saving wood and
saying nothing lately, on account Of
the run Of school entertainments, but
now that there is nothing going on
they are ready to take hold of the
"old maids convention" scheme and
push 1t through successfully. The
profits derived from the entertain.
ment will 60 towards erecting club
building and establishing a public
library.
Another thing the club women did
last night was to agree upon ths loca.
tion OF the proposed club building,
and ascertain 10 the neighborhood of
what it was going TO cost. They do
not want the figures or the location
mentioned in print for reasons best
known to the women themselves, but
the figures are within their reach and
the location is desirable one. So
that the club room is one Of the Ger.
tainties Of the future.
The next meeting Of the Federation
will be in the court room Monday
night, when those in the character
assignment will meet to act their
parts. No men will be allowed around
except 10 meet the ladies at the court
house entrance after rehearsal and
take them home.

In the ruin that they wrought
And their Maussrs weren't In It

While the fever camps at Alger
Far surpassed their strongest fleet,
So which did the greatest damage

That the country they have saved

That they deserve the glery

Our Lily.

Cover her grave with roses,
Roses without blight,
Where the form Of our precious darling,
Is hidden from mortal sight.
Pure as the lily her-name sake,
She rests with her Saviour now,
For while she fingered with us,
His seal was upon her brow.
Oh Lily. our hearts are breaking!
Though we know you are at rest,
For our home Is lonely without you,
Yet God knows what is best.
For we know that when God shall call US,
From this world of sorrow and sin,
When we stand at the heavenly portal,
Our Lily will welcome us in.
