Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1892-06-30

THE first cotton bloom OF the
season is reported to this office by
Can't. Il. HI. Balm, from his farm on
the surburhs. We did not know be-
fore that the popular Commander
of the Goldsboro Rifles is a farmer,
but 1t seems that he is u ''crack"
farmer as we'll as s'crack shot"
The spacious and desirable double
two story brick store on Walnut
street formerly owned and occupied
by Mr.. l. S. D. Sauls, has been pur-
chased from his assignees by Mr.. l.
B. Fonyielle, the grocer, who will
move into it with his well-selected
and always fresh line of family
groceries.
The progressive young firm of
Royal & Borden, finding their three
story double store too small for their
fast increasing business, have rented
the third stony over the three large
stores Of the Kornegay building,
which makes the space 10000 feet
now occupied by them. This does
not include their mattress factory.
BY what authority does the city
command its police to shoot dogs
promiscuously in the public streets?
Have the citizens no rights to pro-
lection from the bungling aim of
the untutored police? Are the cit
liens entitled to no consideration
Can they not be spared the scene of
carnage such as that enacted by the
shooting of an unmuzzled dog on
the public street in the very centre
of the city yesterday morning.? The
bungling aim Of a policeman made
an ugly scene of it.
| IN response to the item in The
| ARGUS last week there will be a
meeting of local talent in the Mayors
office this evening at $50 o'clock
for the purpose of organic
ing Cornet Band, and with
the number of trained musicians of
unusual talent that Goldsboro pos
sesses there is no reason why this
city should not have band to COM
pare with any band in the State. We
urge all who feel an interest in this
matter to attend the meeting to-
night.
The popular grocery establish
ment of Mr.. l. B. Fonvielle, on the
Southwest corner of Chestnut and
West Centre streets, is to be length
ened sixty feet and otherwise en-
larged, to accommodate the growing
demands of his trade. 1t is exceed
ingly gratifying to The ARGUS to
note this substantial evidence of
the business progress of one
lof its most liberal and con-
stant advertisers. The contract for
the work has been given to Mr.. OR.
Rand, Jr., and the brick and lumber
is now being placed on the ground.
| WHY not impound dogs that are
caught abroad in the streets without
muzzles-if muzzled they mast be:
There is considerable and growing
). indignation among our citizens
| against the 'sshot gun" policy inau-
gurated by the city officials. Sup
pose some citizen was to be hit by a
stray shot from load intended for
an unoffending, unmuzzled dog,
what would the city do about it!
Not to speak of the general terror
| that relgns in the street when po.
liceman sleyels" at a dog. Tai
| ARGUS is not fault-fnding: it i,
simply "giving notice"
| THERE were two interesting
largely attended and exciting games
of baseball played in this city yes
terday, forenoon and afternoon, be-
tween the Fremont team and oul
home club, The Fremont boys are
a jolly, congenial, gentlemanIy set Of
fellows and won the hearty appre'
citation of all our people. The score
of the morning game was % to 2 in
favor of the Goldsboro club, and
: that of the afternoon game was 5 te
% in favor, likewise, o. our boys
The best of feeling iyvailed be-
7 tween the combatants throughout
both games, and were umpired with
entire satisfaction by Mr.. Jim Baker
At Mprehead.
