his appearance yesterday. It is now
in order to have another bicycle cars
nival, in order to give him a chance,
since it was in practising for the
last one that he sustained the
sprained ankle on account of which
he was unable to enter the races on
that otherwise enjoyable occasion.
TIE lack of confidence from
which the country is suffering is due
in part to the exaggerations and mis-
representations of the panic mon
gers. There is no doubt that great
numbers of workmen have heen
thrown out of the employment in
consequence of the monetary string-
ency, but there is also no doubt that
the number of the unemployed has
been grossly exaggerated, and de-
scriptions of the situation have Off
ten or an unduly tragic coloring.
Is not this true in our community?
Iris with unusual pleasure and
pride that THE ARGUS notes the con-
tinued uccess of one of Goldsboro's
brightest and best young men, Mr..
Geo. K, Denmark, who won a posi-
ton in the Postofhcc Department in
Washington in Il competitive exami-
nation several years ago, and has
performed his duties at all times
with such precision as to merit
available promotion on several occa-
sions. The Department gives no.
tice that he has again been pro-
NOTED, and now draws a salary of
$1,000. We congratulate him right
heartily.
The sold reliable" IN. N. & w"
line of steamers from Newbern to all
points North, and connecting with
the A. & n. G. r. r. at Newbern,
addresses itself to the consideration
Of our merchants and cotton ship
pers, in that it offers them safe,
cheap and reasonably rapid trans
portation for their goods and ships
ments of cotton. This line is repre-.
sented by Nj. Ralph Gray, at News
bern, who has many friends in our
city, and who makes regular visits
to our shippers here soliciting their
patronage.
The Department of Agriculture
issued last Saturday it's report for
September and it shows the cotton
crop to be in a very unsatisfactory
condition. There was a decline Of
seven points in the aver a re condition
of the crep during August, the av-
erage on the first of September being
only 1874 against 8O.4 on the first of
August. This is the lowest average
sinreSeptember, 1881. The report
of the department indicates a very
light crop. The acreage is very little
larger than it was last year, and the
September condition last year was
77.8, or about three and a half
points better than it is this year.
The death of little James Gil
lespie, infant son, FIVE months old,
of MI. and Mrs. W. G. Munroe, oc-
Cured rather suddenly, at their home
in this city Wednesday night, after
an illness of several days. The fun
eral was held yesterday afte noon at
5 o'clock, from the home, Rev S. H.
Isler officiating. Superior court,
which is in session here, adjourned
for the day at the hour of the funeral
out of respect to MI. Munroe, n
of the most esteemed members of the
local Bar. The fral tributes were
beautiful breathing of the purity of
childhood, the sweets of heaven, and
the soothing JUNCTION of His love
who said, Suffer little children to
come unto me and forbid them not,
for of such is the kingdom of heav-
en-. The inexpressible sympathy of
our entire community is with the
bereaved parents il their sor rowful
visitation.
