The Durham daily globe. (Durham, N.C.) 1889-1894, 1893-02-28
WITH COAT OFF.

Decency and Honesty may always feel
proud, and to which they can point with
genuine admiration, The GLOBE to day
enters upon the Fourth year of its gay
vouns life. Being a ]precocious kid, and
having long ago discarded dresses and
other apparel 10 be found in the nursery,
it starts out to-day with it's pants in its
boot-tops, with long hair, chin Whiskers
and rubber galluses. There are spikes in
the soles of the boots; the hair does not
pull the chin whiskers are self support
ing and the gallus buttons have been
riveted on.
For one so young and u~nimportant,
THE GLOBE has had a checkered career.
1t was born all right and a prosperous
future seemed ahead of it.
But after a three months squirt, MR.
EDWARD OLDHAM, who started it of in a
blaze of glory, laid down his pen, and
THE GLOBE suspended
Col. J. S. CARR, wanting to see more
newspapers, he believing that live papers
help a town-infused new life in the
breathless carcass, and Mr.. T. B. ED
RIDGE ran it until September, 1890. Mr..
CARR having sold the plant to the Beau
tiful Cuss who is now conducting it,
ELDR1DGE resigned, and Col. PETE
BRIGGS and Col. ROBERT CARR took
hold and held on until October 6, when
this great North American Indian Fighter
and Soudan Scout arrived.

money, because it was making but very
little, and its force very large compared
to the business it was doing.
The Beautiful Cuss h~ereinbefore and
hereinafter mentioned struck the town
on a dark and rainy Friday. By some
oversight on the part of the citizens, the
brass band and the carriages failed to
meet us. A delegation of porters, rum
ners and hackmen from different hotels
and boarding houses did meet US, how
ever, and we finally walked to the hotel,
accompanied by a lady friend, who is our
> wife.
, Expecting to mould and cast a great
deal of public opinion in the town, and
being six days behind schedule time, we
; naturally sought the foundry. Asking
1 an ~obsequious colored gentleman where
THE GLOBE Office was, he promptly and
politely sent US there. Upon our arrival
at the palatial place, we discovered that
we had walked about a mile to the office
= of the Globe tobacco warehouse.
Undaunted we retraced our steps anC
= enquired of MR.. H. N. Snow for the de
. sired information. Mr.. Snow told u.
l that the office was on Main street. Tha
i, settled it. We knew where Nineteenth
and Steenty steenth street was, but W.
dived again into the rain and were shown
by another urbane and ubiquitous Uncl'
he having also been colored-the Roya
: Path, and we ~rejoiced and were exceed
ing glad.
A walk down Main street, and we be
held the sign "DURHAM DAILY GLOBE

We walked into the Awful Presence O
Col. PETER NJ BRIGGS, and in a name
that at once charmed the gentleman W

C Mr.. BRIGGS, viewing US in silent We

there was another chair in the office h
