THE newest thing in town is the
domestic sewing machine wagon

just put out for working mp this
new feature of their extensive and
ever widening furniture and house
hold furnishing business.
A FINE lot Of new JOB type, of the
very latest designs and composed of
many varieties, has inst been received
at this office to keep up with the
progress of our extensive trade in
job printing. The ARGUS, like
Goldsboro, goes forwa;G.
THE people of Goldsboro take a.
just pride in the Rifles. 1t was noted
on every hand the other day, when
the troops left for James City, til :
it was one Of the finest looking com
panies in the regiment.
The criminal docket as it stood
at the opening of court Monday
morning with 80 cases, was rapidly
disposed of during the day, and,
pending the occasional reports from
the grand jury, work on the civil
docket is progressing.
THE first green peas Of this sea-
son were shipped from this city on
Friday by Capt j. ". Lamb, who
sent forward four boxes. Mr.. Jno.
NJ. Grantham shipped sereral boxes

anumbtr Ct shipments will be made
this week, both of peas ard straws
berries.
THE new quarters Of the Colds
boro postofice, in the Arlington
corner, are going to be neat, airy and
convenient. The workmen expect to

The death of Mr.. Jas. Dove oc-
Cured at his home in this city, on
East Centre street, Tuesday night,
of consumption, in the 55th year of
his age. He leaves a wife and one
daughter, Mrs. Z. J. Outlaw, and
many friends to sorrow at his death,
The funeral was held from his late
residence Thursday morning at $3.50

Paul's III. Z. Church, officiating.
THE editors, in large numbers, and
together a fine looking intellectual
body of men, passed through the
city Tuesday afternoon on their way
to the press convention at Newbern.
The historic city between the river,
its hospitable people and its inter.
Fsting traditions, will I'LL the breth'
rem with interest anddelight. And
just nov, James City with its unique
history and exciting present vii
furnish each scribe with a theme
worthy of bis pen,
WITH the increased value in pro
perty and the additional monies pai6
by the W. & w. r. R., it is to be
hoped that the Trustees of the
Graded School may see their way
clear to having the white graded
school building thoroughly reno
Fatea and repair ed. The roof i
sadly out Of repair and the whole
building is, we fea~, suffering in coz
sequence. The debt on the property
it is true, ought to be paid off, but i
draws interest and will keep. The
roof excites decay and will ruin.
The ARGUS has had no convers
% the subject with Mr., ]. A. stev
ehs, who represented this county il
the last session of the Legislature
and who is a Democrat unadulter
ated and rnterrifed, but we take oc
casion to say,on our own responsible
ity that in sending The ARGUS tn
resolutions of the County Farmers
ALLIANCE that ere ppblighed in thi
issue, and to which his name ap
pears he simply did his clerical dut,
as secretary of that order. We know
'Tobe" Stevens, ana WE expect t,
hear from him in due time through
these eglunHs- .
