GoLD-BoRo should have something
in COMMONWEALTH she hasn't got
now-even if it be a ffty>thousand
dollar debt. What Goldsboro most
needs is for her people to get together;
and even though it cost FIFTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS to get us to-
gether, it may be, and surely will be,
the means of enabling US to accom-
plish great things in m for
the city's material development and
permanent and ever increasing pros
perity.
AN enterprise, the want of which
has long been sorely felt by the peo-
pie of this city and Immediate vicin-
ity, has Just been opened up by MI.
Fred Overman, near the standplpe
of the Goldsboro Water Works, on
the northwestern suburbs. 1t is a
steam grist mill. It is a new struc.
ture and thoroughly equipped with
all the latest improvements for mill
ing. The ARGUS wishes the new
enterprise the fullest measure of
success.
THE widely known and reliable
firm Of S. Cohn & Son, of this city,
prcprietors of the getty Market"
have been receiving such a constantly
increasing order trade from New
bern, hat they have at length found
it necessary to open a branch-house
in that city, which will be in charge
Of Mr.. Isaac Cohn, who went down
to Newbern yesterday for this pur-
pose. THE ARGUS wishes this pros
gressiye firm abundant success with
their branch house.
DURING all the heavy rain of yes
terday, the paved portion of Walnut
street, between John and East Cen
tire Streets, drained itself as rapidly
as the rein fell, whereas formerly it
used to hold all the water that fell
ard be a regular mud-gulch fer
weeks az d time after such heavy
rains as fell upon it yesterday. The
ARGUS hopes to see the day come,
and come speedily, when every street
in Goldsboro will be thus paved.
This improvement lies within the
province of the bond Issue that the
city electors are to vote upon at the
May municipal election.
