ON this market and northern ship
ments are in vogue daily.
EVERYBODY goes fishing these
days-and the like of ''luck was
never before known in these parts.
THE business of our city so far
this Spring has been most satlsfac-
tory in all branches Of commerce,
and gives promise Of continued pros
perity..
THE gin house of Mr.. J. ". Bum,
in the Nahunta section of this
county, was destroyed by fire on
Saturday night, which he attributes
to an incendiary. The matter will
be duly investigated.
THE "Varsity boys" will sing here,
in the Messenger Opera House, on
Thursday evening of this week.
They are reputed as making fine
music. They should be greeted by
a large audience and hearty well
come.
LOTS of our citizens took advan-
cage of the fine weather yesterday to
90 fishing-in fact, it was a regular
field day, and "luck' was i'll favor of
many of them. But Mr.. Arnold
Borden, who was the last to go, came
back with the largest string of fish.
The residence of our progressive
townsman Mr.. W. II. Higgins, on
William street. near the Graded
School, is in the hands of force of
workmen, who are remodeling and
enlarging it according to plans that
when completed will make it one of
the handsomest IN the city.
The newest thing in town is the
delivery wagon of Messrs. Bizzell
Bros. & Co., the grocers, which they
have placed in servicr upon our
streets for the accommodation of
their city customers. 1t is an evl-
dence that they are progressive, and
that they have consideration for the
convenience of their customers.
We present to our readers this
morning an article from the Raleigh
Chronicle on the Gubernatorial
question, which we fully endorse. 1t
is timely; it is true, it is just. None
other than Governor Holt should be
nominated by the Democratic State
Convention. He deserves it: and all
party precedent entities him to it.
THE electric alarm bell, that is
being displayed in this city by Mr..
ID. W. Wilson, is still the growing
wonder" and challenges any expert
to find flaw in its marvellous work
ings. Mr.. Wilson is selling county
rights only, and selling them rap
idly, too. He will not remain in the
city longer than this week, as he has
disposed of nearly all the territory
in this section of the State, and has
but few counties left.
THE inhabitants and especially
his mercantile confreres of West
Centre street were startled yesterday
afternoon at seeing Mr.. L. d. Gid
dens, the elder, riding leisurely
along from his dinner on ''L. D.,
Jr's." bicycle-just as if he had been
nsed to that sort of thing all his life.
The question that is now agitating
the minds of the denizens of that
section of West Centre, is, ''when did
T.. d., Sr., learn to ride ?"
IT is now quite certain that the
renowned drummer Evangelist"
Mr.. W. P. Fife, will hold a series Of
. meetings here about the latter week
in May. He is we'll known in Colds
boro, and certainly, if he comes
here, will he draw hundreds to his
meetings and win many souls from
ways of sin to lives of righteousness.
TRE ARGUS sincerely hopes that the
movement, which now is being can
vassed to get him here, will result
successfully.
WHEN the Hotel Gregory shall be
opened anew-all remodeled, refur
nished and altogether delightful and
delectable-it will be under the name
of "Hotel Kennon', after Mr.. 3. K.
Borden's interesting little son Ken
non. No expense is being spared in
the work of rehabilitating this fine
piece of property, and when its doors
shall again be thrown open to the
public, no hotel in the South, either
in appointments or service, will sur
pass ssThe Kennon".
A FIRE alarm shol tly after min
o'clock Tuesday evening startled our
citizens and sent them hurrying
from every direction towards the
