me executors of David cKinne, and
witnessed by joe. Everitt. the same
being for part of a bequest to Mr..
Jenkins wife, who was a daughter
of the testator. This is a pretty old
receipt, and bears familiar names.
IT is stated from authentic source
that over in the "Bend- of Neuse
River" last year, in an area embrace
ing 80 families of farmers, there were
only 1900 pounds of pork raised in
the aggregate. The same families
This year have already put up, OF
their own raising, 100000 pounds.
This is truly a remarkable Increase,
and shows up we'll for the awakened
energy and activity and success Of
the "Bend tf the River" colony
under C~le,eland's administration.
The country is safe.
Mr.. Jno. W. Isler, the noted
chicken raiser of this county, who is
conducting the business on an ex-
t%ensive aud, we are glad to say profit
able scale, was in the city yesterday
making some shipments Of eggs to
the Northern markets, where he al
ways commands the highest market
price. He told us that he has 10
one thousand young chicks Just from
the shell, and patched by an incu-
bator.
MEssRs. Isaac Fuchtler and Alf.
Kern, SO long engaged in business in
this city under the firm name of
Fuchtler & Kern, have removed
their stock of goods from here to
Charlotte, where they will engage in
the same line Ct business. They
think the change is to their advant-
age, and we hope it may prove So;
but The ARGUS still maintains that
Goldsboro is the best town in the
State and is doing the largest all
round business this year in her
history.
The death of Mrs. G. K. Humid
ley, of Oxford, eldest sister of our
esteemed young townsmen Messrs.
Ed. L. and Frank B. Edmundson,
occurred Monday night at her home
in Oxford. The remains will arrive
in this city for interment this morn
ing on the shoe fly, and the funeral
will be held from the home of Mr..
Ed. Edmundson, who, we are sorry
to say, has been confined to his bed
for several days by illness. The sim
cere sympathy of hosts of friends
here are with the bereayed family in
their sorrowful visitation.
Our farm RS are hauling away
from town guano, pillow stocks, pillow
gear and the like almost daily, but
not a pound of bacon or a bushel of
corn. This is the kind of news we
like to write about our agricultural
statues. Blank liens are as scarce as
hen teeth. All of which goes far to
establish the fact that the country is
safe and the outlook promising.
Readers tf The ARGUS all out
through the country are bringing IL
in these kind of repor's to US, and
their name is legion and a constant
ly increasing one, at that.

hospitable gathering last evening,

kins, pastor Of the Goldsboro Baptist
Church, officiating. After the cere.
mony delightful refreshments were
served to the assembled guests.
There was a beautiful array Of brida.
presents and many were the p%rofferS

couple. The ARGUS wishes then
long years of welded joy and pros
perity.
