already "gettng a move on them
for another crop planting.
We see It stated that "Aiss Rooney
has been appointed to a clerkship by
the Secretary of State of Michigan.
Wonder if this is the aforesaid Lit
tie Annie?
WHERE IS the postofice going to
be located Is still the question of the
dav. The removal Of it is definitely
determined Hpou-and probably the
uew location, also.
The lodge of Odd Fellows in this
city-Neuse Lodge No. 6.-had a
long session Tuesday night. They had
a large number of new members TO
initiate" from Nj. Olive, in this
county, here a branch lodge of the
order is soon to be established.
THE dental ,ffice of DR.. B, Ar
rington, who has recently and per-
manentiv located here, is being fittei
up in handsome style and conlforta-
Die furnishings up stairs ove the
G~o!dsboro Music House, on West
Centre street.
FROM everywhere comes the CONS
mon report of the coolest weather on
record. The thermometer It Wins
ton IS reported to be SIX degrees be-
low zero aud at Mt. Airy it is said to
be sixteen degrees below zero. Rah
We all know how cold it IS here.
MUSE river was reported to be
frozen over yesterday morning by
country people visiting in the city
something that has not been known
before in these parts within the
of the oldest inhabitants.
This would indicat. that we ARE
haYing the coldf st weather on
record.
TIE best evidence that Goldsboro
is not going back is that, notwith-
Standing the fact there were more
residential ab9des CONSTRUCTED in the
city last year than during any pre-
yious wear, there is not d vacant ress
idence in the place, and the demand
for houses to rent seems as nnmer
ous as ever, if not more SO, We go
forward,
THE alarm of fire shout s o'clock
yefterday morning, sounding thr
First wald, was occasiCned by All
outbreak Of fire at the residence OF
Policeman Head, on William street.
Notwithstanding the bitter cold
weather the COMPANIES Of the fire
department were promptly on the
ecene, It vas the best record the
companies have made, but their SER
vices were not needed, as the fire
was pnt out promptly.
THEY telliton opr worthy Chief of
Police. Cay t. j. R, Hurst, that he
did G know until yesterday that
California had gone for Cleveland
all but u vote. 1t vas the joke Of
the day at the Mayors office, and
they ran it SO ~trong on the Chief
that he went home, where he could
enjoy, unmolested, the qualification
of his recent discovery that Cleve-
l2Gu carried morn
THERE has never before been
known such a continued rush of
guests as have thronged the Hotel
kennon in this city, coming and go
ing, since the New Year set in: and
the general verdict, the spontaneous
testimony Of all is that "The Ken
non" is the finest hotel they strike
in all their travels. Goldsboro has
at length got what she has long
n%eeded--a strictly first-class hotel il
every particular. And its good eff
feet is already telling to the city's
benefit.
The death of Mr.. Chas. II. Stal-
Gill, who was for a long while con
nected with the post Office here, oc-
cured at 1880 Friday night at the
home of his relative Mr.. Leonard D..
Bass in this city, of consumption,
from which he had teen a great
sufferer for several years. He was
always a quiet and accommodating
young man, aud his untimely death
Is sincerely regretted. He was about
80 years of age, and was a member
of the Baptist church, from which
his funeral will be held this morn
ing at IL O'Clock.
We publish this morning an ap-
peal from Capt. f. H. Balm, City
Clerk, which speaks for itself in
behalf of the poor of the city and
township. We see that the people
of Winston have raised one thousand
dollars for the relief Of the poor of
their community during this severe
spell Of weather. The good people
of G~oldshoro and the railroads CEN
tering here have already done much
TO alleviate the priyat;ons of our
.oommunity's poor, but the suffering
hereabouts, owing to the Continued
severe weather, is still great and
growing. The appeal of Capt. Balm
should strike a sympathetic chord in
the hearts of all of cur readers who
are able to give. No matter through
what fate, fault or folly men and
families have bes n reduced to disc
tress, the fact that they are reanT
suffering appeals mora strongly than
any memory of their shortcomings.
It is inevitable that there must be o
great deal of restitution in the homes
of the poor at this time, and speedy
provision should DE made for their
