in charge of our young friend and
Mr.. George Wright, whoI
left for Tarborough yesterday toI
make all necessary arrangements.
THERE is large show case in
Messrs. III. We'll s. Bros. establish
ment that has been in active service
this city for over thirty years. 1t
was brought here before the war by
Mr.. W. W. Freeman, the ieweler,
and has run the gauntlet of all the
great fires that have swept our city
since the war.
THE death of Mr.. Richard Ray
nor, one of the Oldest citizens of our
county, occurred at his home in
Grantham's township Sunday-just
from old age. The old gentleman had
been quite feeble for some years and
on Saturday afternoon he said he
felt sleepy and lay down to take a
nap--and walked no more.
THE GoldsboroRifies were out yes
terday afternoon in fatigue uniform
going through the new tactics, with
Capt. T. H. Balm in command, whose
commission as an officer in the State
Guard antedates that of any other
officer in the service. The Rifles do
themselves proud on all occasions
and are deserving the pride of
Goldsboro.
The ARGUS is requested by the
board of managers Of the wonderful
Fife meetings in this city, to
extend most cordial lnvi-
tation to our country friends,-and
to everybody, near and far, to come
to these meetings; assuring them
that they will not only be cordially
welcome, but also, that their presence
is desired.
IT is with peculiar pleasure that
The ARGUS notes the distinguished
success of two North Carolina boys
of the graduating class of Amherst
College, Mass, this year, Messrs. j..
Hiram Grant, of this city, and Sey-
mour Ransom, of Newbern. In a
brisk competition for speakerships
at their commencement t they both are
successful contestants, although
there are only six speakers on the
occasion, and only two North Caro-
lima boys in the class. Three cheers
and tiger for North Carolina-and
for Goldsboro!
AT their home near This city, on
Sunday last, Mr.. J. d. Denmark,
better and more familiarly known as
" Aunt Joe", and his estimable wife
celebrated the 4Sth anniversary of
their marriage by family dinner, at
which there were So children and
grand children present. The absent
ones numbered 10. Mr. aud Mrs
Denmark are the parents of Messrs.
Stephen and Willis Denmark of this
city. The ARGUS hopes that they
may all be here to enjoy together
the " Golden Anniversary, that is
but two years distant.
IT is with sincarest regret that we
| chronicle this morning the death Of
Mr.. Will o. Collier, son Of the latt
Col. Geo. W. Collier, ald brother Of
our esteemed townsman Capt. j. G
Collier, which occurred at his home
on his farm near old Everittsvllle
Saturday night, in the 10th year o1
his age. His funeral vas held Mon
day afternoon at 3 o'clock from
his home, and the interment wa
made in the cid family buryins
ground on the plantation. He leave
a wife and four children and a wild
circle of relatives and friends t.
mourn his unexpected and suddel
death.
| THERE was a little incident &C
lcured at Raleigh during the lat
Democratic Convention gathering
that was somewhat of a 'pointer'
but which seem to have escaped tn
reporters of the local papers. 1t wa
