LOCAL BRIEFS.

LOCAL BILLET -.
Hon. F. NJ. Simmons, o Newbern,
was in the city yesterday.
The trains are getting down
almost to schedule time again.
AND now another snow is pre-
dicted ! What is to become of us?
The skating rink is growing in
popularity and in attendance daily.
If you are DESTROYS of a booming
Spring trade now is the time to ad-
vertise-in The ARGUS.
THAT is a graceful and timely
card of acknowledgement We pub
lish this morning in behalf of the
colored people of our community. 1t
speaks for itself, and does them
credit,
Work on the criminal docket of
Jul Superior Court proceeds with
commemorate dispatch-and the
Grand Jury are still in session. Aud
that means that bills are being "sent
up" and presentments rendered. The
way of the transgressor is hard.
SAY: do you know-and if so do
you ever take cheer f1om the refec-
tiol that Goldsboro is the best all
rolnd town in the State? Why don't
you get a move on you and help to
hustle and make it the best town
in the South.
The truck farmers of this vicinity
are getting mighty uneasey over this
long continued spell of weather;
and in the face of the prediction of
yet another snow they are almost
dlsconsolate. 1t is now high time
that the ground was being gotten
ready for planting.
His many friends here were glad
to see in the city yesterday Congress
man B. F, Grady. of t!.e S cond
District, who was here on II flying
visit anC is back in Washington this
morning to answer when the roll of
the House IS called and to do his
full duty, as he always dos.
The fine display of I" Tenney's"
ssndies at the popular confectionery
store of Mr.. G. +. Griffin, in the
corner under the Hotel Kennon, is
attracting both many admirers and
customers. Tenney is the great and
growing rival Of Huyler in the
manufacture Of the finest candies
known to the candy eating world.
THERE was considerable real es-
tate sold at public auction at the
court house door in this city ycster-
day. Most of it was country land.
The Miss Henrietta Wood premises.
on John street, sold for division
among the heirs, was bid off by Mr..
K. w. Cox.
The horse and mule trade of
Goldsboro is now at its heigtb, and
seems to be even of greater volume
than in any previous year: which
would have a tendency to indicate
that the farmers haye not all joined
the Third party aad "gone dead
broke" The farmers of this section
are as vigorous as the triumphant
Democracy, which is the bulwark of
their liberties.
A WAYNE county man. Mr.. Fl.
W. McKinne, of Mt. Olive, has
gotten out a patent on a continuance
for displaying cloth in bolts that
promises to be "a wiener" He had
it on display in this city yesterday
aud all who saw it were much taken
with its ingenuity and usefulness.
We hope he may reap rich royalties
from its sales.
SUPERIOR Court convened in this
city yesterday with Judge Brown
presiding and Solicitor Pou at his
post. His Honol's charge to the
Grand Jury was compact and un-
compromising: it laid their duties
before them with force and convics
ton so that they could cot misun-
derstand them MOI inadvertently
omit them. The following consti-
tute the Grand Jury for the term
