The building prosents busy scene now. all hands burrying the installation of the exhibits. |, The building is well fitted for the purposes sf the fixposition aod tue different departmen!s will be excellently arranged. The Exposition 1s attracting great interest in ail the neighbor ing States, aud the prospects are that large crowds will attend, Special reduced rate round trip tickets have put on sale on the different Southern roads, and the very low rate will enable all to come to Charlotte during the Exposition, which will continue until June Lith. The many tine exhibits already in place insure a display worthy the attention of anyone. The Art exhibit is altogether the most notable display of the kind that has been gathored together in the South, with the single exception _of the Atlanta Exposition. From all reports, the Art dis- play is much ahead of that at the Nashville Centennial. The gem of the gallery is “Breaking Home Ties,” the most popular pictnre ‘in this country. The Art gallery alone is richly worth a vicit to Ciarlotte. Mrs. Sallie Southall Cotten oae of North Carolina’» foremost women, will deliver the address at the opsning recepticn. A \se- ries of recepuions, entertainments, lectures aud addresses by well known people will continue through the Exposition. The affair is already a success andthe women of Mecklenburg have reason to be proud of their achievement. RENAE NEE I EN NN A story was told tne other day by a lawyer in the big Equitable building, says the New York Times, of an experience that a brother of his, a blind man, had a few days siace wile he was in the city from a small town in Jersey, where he resides. Onthe day mentioned the blind man was without a guide and stood on the corner of Twenty-third - gtreet and Broadway, wishing to. cross the street. While debating with himself as so whether he woud try it alone or call a police- mau, a woman, came up and addressed him, saying: “Mister. would you be kiud enough to help me across the street? There is such a jam of trucks and cars that I am afra:d to try to cross alone.” “Certainly, with pleasure Madam,” he responded, and cffering her his arm, they started ee & sans: " sil . comes name of a seventeex-year-old girl that carries the flag in a Greek brigade.

Union says: Iknow a young man who, in cleaning his wheel a day or two ago, struck one of the spokes In such a way that it emitted a clear tone, and on alittle investigation he was avle to find six spokes that furnished as mauy notes of an ociave. The other two notes were missiag, but might have been easily secured by tightening or loosening other spokes. As it was, he was able to play a few simple airs, either in whole or in piri. ee A §nake Shot.

His snakeship being discoyer- ed on the wharf, the darkey full of excitement hurried ashore for a gun, which in the hurry heavily was charged. Returning to the whurf the gun was raised and fired, and for a few moments it was impossible to te)l what dam- age had been done. Upon ex- amination a moccasin snake five feet long was found shot dead, and Big Hill was seen on his back where he had been thrown by the recoil of the gun.—New- bern Journal. ee eee Sn Sh Highly RBccommended Diphthoria Cure, The following cure for diphthe- ria appeared recently in the Scientific American, which high authority vouchos for it as @ cer tain cure for this terrible disease if the treatment is commenced in its early stages: At the first indication of diph- theria in the throat of a child make the room close, then take a tin cup and pour into itaquantity of tar and turpentine, equal parts: Then hold the cup over a fire, no asto fill the room with fumes. The little patient on inhaling the fumes will cough up aud spit out all the membranous matter, and the diphtheria will pass out. The fumes of the tar and turpen- tine loosen the matter in the throat and thus afford relief. monger a One ; Office-Hunter Easily Piacated, As he came out of the White House his face wore a smile as radiant as the dawn of pay day. “]’m all right boys,” he said, shaking hands all round. “It’s fixed at last.

Venire. “3 $ Legislatnre was made known to the citizens of this (Chatham) county during the present term of our Superior Court. It, was the new method of drawing jnrors in the trial of. capital cases. Heretofore, unless otherwise de- manded by the defendant, the special venire. or the extra jurors, in capital capital cases, were sum- moned by the sheriff indiecrimi- nately from among the freehold- ers. But the last Legislature changed this by compelling all these extra jurors, or special venire, to be drawn from the jury box in open court. Accordingly, on last Tuesday the special venire, or extra jurors, in’ two capital cases were drawn in this manner, 50 jurors ia each case. Immediately atter the names of these jurors were drawn the sheriff had to hurry his deputies all over the county to summon the jurors to be here the next day, and the deputies had a lively time of it. | While this “reform” may be proper and even necessary in counties where the sheriff is. cor- rupt, yet in most cases it is need- less expeuse and puts too many good citizens to a great deal of unnecessary trouble-—Chatham Record. \ Notice to Creditors.
