The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1901-10-24

The weather prediction today is fair
for Raleigh and vicinity.
The banks of the city will be closed
today on account of the State Fair.
Mr.. VIM. Brown, ST., one Of Raleigh's
oldest citizens, was taken seriously i'll
at his home on Morgan street yesterday
He fell and was found in an unconscious
State.
Mr.. Paul Fleming, of Petersburg,
Pa, but who was a student ut the Raj
eigh Male Academy some twelve years
ago, was here yesterday renewing ac-
quaintance with friends. Mr.. Fleming
was formerly from Milton, in this
State.
Mr.. F. Lawrence Walker, business
manager of Chas. B. Hanford who is
in the city, is brother in-law of Mr..
Will Aiken, formerly a member of the
newspaper fraternity in this city. Mr.
Walker is a gentleman of attractive
personality. He has been connected
with some of the leading theatrical at
fractions in this country.
Mr.. e. l.. Travis, of Halifax, who is
in the city, tells different story from
that which has been heard here so much
of late. Cotton in Halifax" Mr.. Trav-
is said, lis as good at last year. Of
course the yield is not so large because
the spring freshets destroyed a good
part of the crop. We have good crop
however"
This evening in the auditorium of the
State Museum Prof. Jos. A. Holmes, State
Geologist, will deliver an illustrated lee
ture to the State Horticultural Society
on the subject, apple Orchards and For
ests of Western North Carolina" Prof.
Holmes is too we'll known to the Raleigh
public to need any special mention, but to
the visitors in the city it may be said that
there is no man in the State more thor
oughly acquainted with the beautiful
mountainous country in the Western
part of North Carolina. The excellent
Photographic lantern slides with which
the lecture will be illustrated together
with the popularity of Prof. Holmes as
lecturer, are a sufficient guarantee that
the evening will be one of great profit and
pleasure to all who are so fortunate as
to be present. The public is invited to
attend this lecture.

The postmasters throughout the country
have been notified that on all third class
mail matter there shall be no writing
except the address of the party to whom
the parcel or package is being sent and
the name of the sender. Amy other
writing such as pictures or words, such
as "books'' or "third class matter" will
necessiate the classification as first class
matter and charge accordingly. Many
people who send third class matter write
on the wrapper other words than is nee
essary and this has been the cause of the

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

If an umbrella was made of only one
rib like woman, you would never be
able to shut it up
A woman never hears new cute baby
story that she doesn't tell it afterwards
on her own child.
1t always jars man terribly when he
wakes up after he has dreamed that his
wife got married to another man.
Nowadays, if man only says he wishes
some one would teach him how to save
money to a girl, she gets queer feeling
whereshe thinks her heart is.
A woman who will admit that her
husband is only man who ever proposed
to her is as rare as man will confess that
he doesn't know how to play poker
