THE anniversary exercises of the
z. M. G. A. in st. Paul church

and was an occasion of much inter
est; but the pledges, for the support
of the Association for the ensuing
year were by no means sufficient IN
the aggregate for the requirements
The matter will be taken in hand by
the executive committee and def
nitely determined upon.
Mr.. and Mrs. S. S. Barber, the
parents of the late Mrs. DR.. VIM.
Cobb Whitfield, beg to be permitted
to adopt this method of expressing
to the good people, and to the pas.
tors of the different churches OF
Goldsboro; and also to the attend
ing physicians, their sincere thanks
for their kindness, attention and
sympathy to and for their dear
child, and themselves, both during
her illness, and since her decease.

only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse

Has the city physician, or Super
intendent of Health, or Street Cons
missioner, taken a look lately at the
gutter along East Centre street, be-
tween Chestnut and Walnut streets?
Have we no remedy for tie I'M
slightly and unhealthy aggregation
of refuse water and filth that there
greet the public gaze and jeopardiza
the health of the entire community?
If not, why not?
The remains of Jefferson Davis,
the only President of the Confeder-
ate States, will soon be conveyed
through North Carolina, en- reute
to their final resting place at the
capital of the ~Ccnfederacy, On that
occasion there should, as the Will
mington Messenger has suggested,
be an escort to meet the train bear
ing the remains at the North Caro-
lima line, and accompany 1T at least

THERE are more residences IN
course of construction in Goldsboro
at this time than was ever known to
be before at any one time in the his
tory of the city. And yet there are
those among us who are persuaded

opportunity, and who at all times
take occasion to persuade others,
that Goldsboro is in a bad way and
going backwards. Look around
you. We are going foi ward.
THE paving of West centr street,

one shovel hand be dispensed with
md let the man who leans so long
on his shovel in the street, between
leads, do "a little more real work.
We make these suggestions, not
fault-fndiDgly, but in behalf of the
tax payers, who have to bear the ex-
pense,
