WEST BURKE.
a Travelling Salesman Drowned at

N. Y. Barley, travelling salesman
for a mercantile house in Boston, came
here on the New York express Saturday
morning and went to Wiloughby Lake
to spend Sunday. Some young people
were there from West Burke, whom he
tried to insist to go bathing; but they in
row boats crossed over TO the West side
of the lake, while he rowed up on the
East side. Awhile after the West Burke
party noticed his boat empty, and after
some waiting and not seeing him they
crossed over and found his boat with his
clothes in it and he nowhere to be seen.
After some search they found him at the
bottom of the lake in about four feet
of water, with his hands clasped around
or under stone. One leg was badly
broken and could not be staight-
ened. The most reasonable supposition
is that as it was a very warm day
the exercise OF rowing had overheated
him and the lake water being always
cold he was taken with cramp and thus
met his death. He was a native of
Parkersburgh, Va, a years old, and
the only son of a widowed mother.

WE regret to announce the death
of Mrs. P. j. Brown, wife of Capt.
P. J, Brown, which occurred at their
home in Raleigh, on Tues day
January 30th. The sympathy of
the entire community goes out to
the bereaved husband, who is we'll
and favorably known in this city.
IT is a real pleasure to The ARGUS
and his hosts of friends here to greet
in the city Mr.. II. r, Merrimon, for~
merly engaged as a salesman with
Messrs. Smith & Y.lvertop, but for
the past eight years he has been first
in Florida and latterly in Mexico.
He is now engaged in Railroading in
Mexico, with headquarters at Chi
huhua. "Hoke"i is also interestt d in
a coffee Plantation and a silver mine
as "side issues" Of revenue, and is
prospecting withal.
TIRE is a large percentage of
worthlessness and d~epravity mixed
up with the idleness now aft C
tie country. For instance, at Seattle
recently, the Oregon Improvement
Co. wanted forty men, at two dollars
a day, to repair a washout. The
Superintendent picked a number of
men about the city mission and
other charitable Institutions, and
they agreed to be at the depot in
time to go out on the train. When
train time came he fouhd only seven
men on hand out of forty ''unem'
ployed,' and they proved so worth
less that they were discharged after
a day or two.
We publis'l to-day the annual
statement OF the Bank of Wayne
of this city, which speaks for itse f
and is most creditable to the maE'
agement of this splendid fnapcia.
institution. The figures show whar
progress Goldsboro is making in {
business way and what success i,
attending her every legitimate en-
terprise. Throughout the long an6
trying panic, which We believe has al
length passed the crisis, the Bank Of
Wayne moved steadily forward, by
reason of sound management and 81
gacious guidance, and tc-dayis able
to show in surplus and undivided
