South Dawson 20 West Harget, and
along the latter to West street, thence
out Saunders street, to the Devereux
property, now known as Glenwood, and
at this reaching a point only about
200 yards from the Methodist orphan
age. The rail is arriving, it was stated
today. AS yet nothing is said about
building out to Fest Raleigh, particu-
larry to the Soldiers Home and the Ma

drive way to the Soldiers Home, :he

past the home.
Very good progress is being made III
the fitting up of the second floor of the
main dormitory at the Soldiers Home.
Large dormer windows are being built
on both the east and west sides. There
will be 16 bed rooms, each accomoda1-
ing two men, and there will be no
reading and lounging rooms, CORE

A good deal has been said lately
about places for tie encampment OF the
National Guard Of the state. One Of
the officers mentioned a new one a day
or so ago, this being Fort Caswell,
which is ON Oak Island, as it, is known.
at the mouth of the Cape Fear river.
This is claimed 10 be a very fine loca-

The fact that such large numbers OF
persons are now going into western
North Carolina from the yellow fever
district brings TO mind the fact that
many years ago, when there was a
great outburst of fever at Norfolk and
Portsmouth, hundreds of people from
those places went into North Carolina
a large number of them into the sec
ton around Scotland Neck. A very few
of these refugees had the fever and two

After the sentence had been pronounced Cooper was sent to his tent to remain under guard for the night. He has been three years in tine service of the National Guard.
