I The condition of crops is made on a MISS MAGGIE EESE, The World's Fair. Board of Aldermen Important Session. Tne regular monthly meeting of the Board of Aldermen was held last night. The monthly report of the finance committee mide, and adopted. Alderman Strouaeh reported that much work had been done, fixing up washed out culverts Police officer Willis was exonerated of charges preferred agaiust him by Alderman Robinson.

At the instance of chief of police, the matter of extra force during the exposition was referred to the police committee with power to act. The market committee reported, recommending that the city building (market house) be paintedand reno vated. It was unanimously adopted. The lire committee recommended that the Rescue Steamer be repaired and equipped with new section hose. The report was rejected, and Alder man Womble moved to take the steamer out of service.

This failed. On an explanation from Chief. Engelhard the report of the committee was reconsider and adopted. A report of the finance committee was made stating that there was not sufficient funds in the Treasury to consummate the purchase of the Pollen property for the auditorium site and that they were unable to contract a debt by note or otherwise They therefore moved that the matter of building an auditorium be sub mitted to a vote of the people in or der that the land could be secured legally. The reccommendation was adopted and a motion prevailed that the time of holding the election and the amount of bonds to be issued be referred to the finance committee.

Mr. N. B. Broughton resigned as a member of the Board of Equalization, and Mr. Jesse A.

Jones was elected in his place. A statement was read from Mr. J. D. Turner trustee of the Raleigh Cornet Band, that they had the instruments and uniforms of the band which had cost $1,050, and on which there was about $100 due.

We consider this suggestion a most admirable one and we think it should be carried out duiing the approaching exposition. No one who takes the pains to look in to the matter carefully can doubt that the decision of the Governor, under the circumstances was right, but it does not alter the fact that it leaves us in a delicate situation as to the part North Carolina is to take in the great show. Some steps should be taken as soon as possible. The Horth Carolina Teacher.

It has been completely renovated and is most admirably arranged in all particulars. It is a private matter, and friend Raney may consider it none of our business, but, as the market house is to be painted, perhaps the landlord might agree to brush up the front of the Yarboro a little.

It would improve it wonderfully. A meeting of the Young Mens' Chris tian Association will be held tomorrow evening at 5:80 o'clock, at the Sunday school room of the First Baptist Church. All are invited to attend-Mr. W. S.

He Explains About Uis Trip A letter was received last evening from Mr. Neill A. Spence, our enter prising young man who, in company with our enegetio young friend Mr. Will Wynne, is now on a bicycle tour to the north. The letter is dated August 6th, and Mr.

Spence says: I received a telegram asking why I took the train. I was compelled to get somewhere to have my bicycle repaired. The last five hours I run it I had to pull going down hill and I had a rather hard jaunt. You know I could not run nothing like that. The balls running through it crooked like it had bursted open.

I will get it fixed August 7th, and will go on to New York if my bicycle don't break so I cant. I only rode on cars about 60 miles. If I could have come to some turnpike road I would like to have rode over it if my wheel was in fix. No one could expect me to ride ou a trip like this unless my bicycle was in first class running order. There need not be any sensation about my taking the train.

They should know my wheel is wrong or 1 played out. Nbiii A. Sfkncb. fer a favor by making this announcement at the different churches tomorrow.
