Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1892-09-08
LOCAL BRIEFS.

Mr.. and Mrs. l.. III. Castex left
Yesterday for the Northern markets
to purchase a stock of goods for
their large trade this Fall and Win
ter.
THAT eloquent and invincible
Democrat G. b. Aycock, is in the
West convincing, and we have no
doubt converting, Third partyites of
the error Of their way.
EVERY member of the Stevenson
committee of arrangements, pub
lished in this issue, should be in
prompt attendance at the meeting
this afternoon at $50 o'clock at AL
len s. Dortch's Office.
HON. f. NJ. Simmons, Chairman
of the State Democratic Executive
COMMITTEE, spent several hours In
this city yesterday. He gives most
cheering reports of the progress of
the campaign throughout the State.
EVERYBODY in G%oldsboro and
throughout this entire section should
talk for and work for the great
Stevenson Jubilee here on the 22d
of September. It should be made
IL red letter day in the history of
Goldsboro.
MAJ. w. T. Hollowell, who has
been representing the State in the
annual session of the X. of P. Grand
Lodge Of the world, which was held
this year in Kansas City, Mo-, has
arrived safe home again, and reports
a most enjoyable time all round.
WAIT till the county canvass opens
aud then see how the Third party
candidates vince and run under
Democratic fire-all that is left of
them when the campaign opens. We
doubt if they Will have a full ticket,
AZ it is now composed, by that time.
THE way OF the topper is hard
and he is going 10 find it SO in this
campaign: and hencetorth forever.
Mark the foppcr-and especially
mark him on election day, for
there is time between now and
then for him to get straight and
come back to the fold; bnt or that
day mark him, and beyond that
day remember him. Herein fail
not.
NOTHING should be left undone to
make the Stevenson jubilee in this
city on the 22nd current as grand a
rally as this section of North Caro-
lima can afford. Goldsboro should
"spread herself" for the occasion;
and to this end we urge upon the
committee of arrangements to get
right down to work at once-and let
everybody else in Goldsboro co
likewise. The 22nd is the day
Thursday, September 22nd.
THOSE who are seeking light in
the present campaign ought to be
doubtful of following such a leader
as Mr.. Marion Butler. He has led
many of our people who followed
his advice to hold their cotton, which
he assured them would be sure to
rise in price, to lose a great deal of
money. Many trusted him then and
it cost them dear. He Is an unsafe
leader and it may cost you a great
deal more it you allow him to mis-
lead you again.
The Democratic party or the Re
publican party will be successful in
the next election. Which do you
prefer, Harrison or Cleyeland? A
vote for Weaver is half a vote for
Harrison. AS Elias Carr we'll says:
Harrison, with his high tariff and
Force bill programme, will be a
sorry result, if the Third party
should poll enough votes to defeat
Cleveland, and the decent men in
the Third party would never cease to
regret the blindness which would be
responsible for it u"
The death of Mr.. Aaron Parks,
whose illness was noted in Thurs
days ARGUS, occurred at his home
in Saulston township Thursday
night, in the 74th year of his age,
of typhoid fever. He was the father
of our esteemed countyman Mr..
Berry A. Par ks, and was n of the
most respected citizens of the county,
He was a member of the Society of
Friends. His death will be deeply
mourned by all who knew him. The
funeral took place from his late
home yesterday afternoon.
THE tenderest, inexpressible sym
pathy of this entire community goes
out this morning to Mr.. and Mrs. E.
l.. Castex, whose interesting little
daughter Hannah, five and ope-half
years old, died Monday morning al
1880 o'clock, after a lingering illness
of several weeks, at the Hotel Ken
non, from which the funeral wai

little children to come unto Ne and
forbid them not, for of such is the
kingdom of Heaven.
