Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1894-05-24


THE sewerage of the city in
several localities needs aud is re-
ceiving attention. But what
Goldsboro needs is a better and
more extensive system of sewer
age. This is a need that is making
itself felt moreand more, and is
going to be a pressing necessity in
a very short while. Why not take
time by the forelock and meet
the coming necessity at once?
The present Board of Aldermen
could not do a better thing for
Goldsboro-her present and fu-
ture generations, than establish
an adequate system of sewerage.
Let's hear from the people!
IT is foolish to suppose that all
the ills that have been brought
on by thirty years of Republican
misrule, can be cured at once. It
will require time to remove the
bad and to put good in its place.
There is no reason why a
Democrat ten years ago should
not be a Democrat to-day. Now
that the party is in complete
control of the govern
ment, it is the part of common
sense for all those who have sus-
tanned it's principles in the past
to stand by the Democratic adj
ministration and enable it to put
those principles into practice.
THE ARGUS is deeply panied
to chronicle this morning the
death of Mrs. w. E. Jenkins,
whose critical illness was noted
in these columns several days
ago, and which has caused the
tenderest solicitude of her many
new made friends in this com
munity, whose inexpressible
sympathy goes out to the be-
reaved husband and four little
E~children, one of them a mere
infant, in their irreparable loss.
Her death occurred yesterday at
noon, at Mrs. Hattie W. Dortch's,
where they were boarding, and
her remains were taken to Will
son last night. whence they were
conveyed to Charleston, her old
home, for interment.
THE Goldsboro Rifles have
been invited to attend the I'M
yelling Of the Soldiers and Sail
ors' monument, which takes place
in Richmond, Va, May Both.
The company would like to ac-
cept the invitation, but they are
unable to bear the heavy ex-
penses. If Goldsboro wants to
do the square thing by the boys,
they should be sent to represent
the old North State, which the
Rifles always do in fine style. It
has been a long time since the
Rifles have called upon u citi-
zens for anything and they do not
now, but if they are to go they
viii have to be helped in some
way. Let's send the boys to the
unwilling by all means.
THE commencement exercises
Iof the Colored State Normal

and very interesting and instruc.
tive. The faithful and efficient

the wise and earnest guidance O.
the principal. Rev. DR.. Rives.
, We're all made manifest in the
pleasing entertainment THURSDAY
night, and the widespread inter
erest taken in this institution il
our midst was evidenced by The
crowded audience that assembled
on the above occasion. Where
all did so we'll it would be tedious
to comment in particulars, but i
is perhaps meet to say that in thu
senior and junior oratorical con
test John A. Groom and George
8 McLamb carried off the prizes
respectively. The annual ad
f dress was delivered by Prof. S
G. Atkins, principal of the Win
ston colored graded school ant
l president of the North Carolin;

f merit in all particulars that W,
