Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1894-12-20

With this issue THE ARGUS,
its entire plant, circulation and
good will become the property
of the The ARGUS PUBLISHING
COMPANY, which when duly or
gained, and with Mr.. JOS. p.
Robinson as President and Mr..
Walter A. Bonitz, Secretary and
Treasurer, will conduct THE
ARGUS and a general printing
business in this city.
az Un1er the new regime THE
ARGUS will be edited. as hereto
fore, by Nj. Robinson, and Mr..
Bonitz will be it's business man
ager, as also of the extensive
job printing department of the
paper.
In coming into the newspaper
work in Goldsboro MIR. Bonitz
needs no words of introduction
to our people-or to newspaper
readers throughout the State,
other than the simple announce
ment of who he is-for Colds
boro is the home of his nativity,
and in his chosen profession he
is, indeed. Ito the manner born"
being the son of the late lament
ed Julius A. Bonitz, founder and
editor Of the old Goldsboro
Messenger, which built up here
and enjoyed under his manage
ment the largest circulation OF
any newspaper in North Caro-
lima, and in building itself up
built up Goldsboro, as.well, infus-
ing into her as she grew, and
leaving to heras arichlegacy that
spirit of intrepid enterprise and
heroic endurance that has marked
her proud progress and sus-
tanned her in dire vicissitudes-
the same that characterized him
through life, carving success in
the face of adversely and causing
him to rise superior to every
emergency.
1t will be the ambition of the
new management-but no new
ambition of THE ARGUS-to
build the paper up into q truly
great newspaper; and this
should be the common ambition
of the community, causing every
citizen to give to the enterprise
the fullest possible measure OF
patronage and personal encCur-
agement. of which it shall ever
beour purpose to make the paper
worthy, and without which we
cannot accomplish-only in pro
portion-those achievements for
the welfare and prosperity of
our city and section we SO earn
estly desire and, at this time, so
confidently expect.
It is needless to urge upon a
people as intelligent as ARGUS
readers are, the merits of a
newspaper as the exponent of
the progress and its possibilities
as a factor in the upbuilding of
the community from which it is
published and the section through
which it circulates. 1t is with
reason, therefore, that we look
for, and right that we should re
ceive, the material aid of all who
desire to see Goldsboro go for
ward and become as an opulent
benefactOr set upon hill shower
ing of the abundance of her pros
Perity upon all who help to make
and sustain it.
For ten years The ARGUS has
endeavored to accomplish the
best results for Goldsboro, for
the happiness and prosperity OF
all the people, and, to merit the
confidence and patronage of its
fellow citizens. It's record in the
past is an earnest of it's future
course.
It is the purpose of the new
management to keep the paper
abreast of the news circles of the
day and Of the political world
as we'll, and to this end we have
secured a semi-weekly Washing
ton letter, which, after this is.
sue, will appear in ever Thursday
and Sunday edition: and with the
opening of the new year, a daily
Raleigh letter will be a feature
of the paper, giving a compre
hensive report of the proceed
ings of the Legislature, an6
news of interest from the State
capital.
In local affairs THE ARGUS viii
endeavor to keep its readers in
formed of all happenings of in
terest in the community, and vii
labor assiduously for the ad
vancement of it's fellow citizens
along all lines of legitimate anc
substantial progress.
In politics The ARGUS will be,
as ever, unswervingly Democ,
ratio, advocating the principles
of Democracy and standing
steadfastly by the policies of the
party and it's administration. II
