Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1894-10-04

HON. G. B. Aycock returned
yesterday from a canvassing
tour to the western part of the
State. He brings cheering news
from every county he visited.
He says that the Democrats will
carry the State by at least 10000
DIR. J. A. Faison, of Mt. Olive,
this county, has been elected
first assistant physician of the
North Carolina Insane Asylum
at Raleigh. He is a most com
petent man for the responsible
position. No better could have
been selected.
THE registration books are now
open and it behooves every Dem
ocrat to see that his name is duly
registered. The first ward regis
tiers at Hinson's store; the second
ward at H. & M. L.. Lees store;
the third ward at Henry E
Kings; the fourth ward and
township at the Mayors Office,
and the fifth ward at Creech'S
store.
THE negroes truly dislike Grant
and Grant and Person + run
ming for the Legislature on the
confusion ticket against Wassom
and Hagans, two representative,
intelligent colored men on the
straightout Republican ticket.
Does it require a very ~sagacious
philosopher to say which ticket
the colored man is going to sup
port?
Mr.. J. F. Dobson, chairman of
the Republican county executive
committee and the nominee on
the confusion ticket for Regis
ter of Deeds, certainly cannot
joyfully congratulate himself
upon his nomination either by
the Republican caucus through
the force of Grants broken chair
round baton, or by the divided
and minority vote of the Is
Populists in Boss Buffers con
vention yesterday.
CONFUSION was worse o
founded than ever in the sparsely
populated Populistlc county con
vention yesterday. Even Damon
Butler seemed to earnestly crave
the fostering arm of PYthius Grant
as he fondly clasped and gently
handled the broken chair-round
baton SO lately cudgled by the
latter, and looked out with de-
jected glance upon the % di-
vided Pops over which he pre-
sided as a county convention.
WE exceedingly regret to
chronicle this morning the death
of Mrs. Martha Hollingsworth,
the venerable mother of Messrs.
Nick. J. B. and Monroe Hollings-
worth and of Mrs. NJ. B. Mans
, field and Mrs. Jno. G.. Smith,
which sad event occurred yes
terday morning at the home OF
her son Nick, at the south end
: of John street, in the 9th year
of her age. She was sincerely
lesteemed by all who knew hel
: and was an exemplary member
| of the Goldsboro Baptist church,
. from which her funeral will be
| held this afternoon at / o'clock,

T and a business interview yester

advance agent of 1.-The Walter

indeed, the greatest travelling Cir
S Gus in the World-the successful
rival of the renowned Fore
paugh's circus, and the fact tina

q be cause of congratulation to GU
a people. It has been SO long sine
