on the telephone line and took sick |
with pneumonia, occurred last night |
at Mrs. McCullen's boarding house. !

Cincinnati.
Some very fine white Pekin ducks !
arrived in the city to-day from the
Vanderbilt estate, at Asheville, con-
signed to Mr.. B. II. Griffin for his
Kennon Farm, near this city. They
are as fine as Pekin ducks ever get
to be and were much admired by all
who saw them.
Mr.. Jake Strickland, a stone cut
ter employed in the marble yard of
III. A. Tucker & Bro, in this city,
left here last Friday for Virginia,

! The afternoon train from Raleigh
and Greensboro which formerly ar
rived here at $50, and which for the
past three weeks has been running a
schedule which brought it here about
i7:15, has again changed its schedule
and gone back to the former time of
arrival, at $3.50 o'clock. 1t is said
that the change was unsatisfactory
and the old schedule was re-adOpted
because it was far more profitable.

seen, weighing one pound and five
ounces, was displayed in this office

was grown by Miss Penny S. Barnes,

her home at Saratoga, Wilson

sent here in the lemon line from
Florida: and again evidences the fact
that North Carolina can beat the
world.
