LOCAL BRIEFS.

market TUESDAY.
Mr.. Noah Rouse, of the La
Grange section, one Of the lead
ing farmers of Eastern North
Carolina, who favors Goldsboro
as his market town, was in the
city Tuesday.
MISS Lena Willie, of Balti-
more, Md, arrived in the city
Tuesday to fill a position in
the millinery depal tment of
Messrs. J. W. Bizzell & Co., on
East Centre street.
WITH the way the criminal
docket is filling up again, and
only one week term Of court for
October, it would seem that the
civil docket will again have to so
over till another term.
THE remains of Miss Kate
Sasser, who resided with the
family of Mr.. Jim King, in Will
mington, all of whom lived here
years ago, were brought to this
city Monday for interment Will
lowdale Cemetery.
WE saw Tuesday in the jewelry
emporium of Mr.. l.. D. Giddens
a specimen of engraving on sill
yer plate that is in every way as
fine as the finest in that line of
art. It was designed and exc
cuted by Mr.. L. D. Giddens, Jr.,
who both as an originator of de-
signs and faultless in execution
is truly a genius of rarest en-
dowments.
SOME bold, rapid thief broke
out a hand entrance in one of the
show windows of III. We'll &
Bros. store Sunday night and
purloined therefrom two pairs of
shoes. The window had a small
crack in the glass before, and the
thief must have observed this in
the day time and at night
knocked out the cracked piece
and stole the shoes.
0NExT Tuesday there will hardly
be standing room in Goldsboro
for the crowd that is surely COM
ing to see Buffalo Bill" Of wild
west renown. The ''show" will
hold forth on Mr.. Jno. N. Gran
tham's property al the northern
extreme of James street, and he
is already being rushed with APP
plications for space by those
who wish to run huckster stands
on the grounds that day.
ANOTHER distinction has come
to Goldsboro in the intellectual
world, Miss Mariana Cobb, late
of the faculty of our Goldsboro
Graded School, has been elected
to a position in the city schools
of Detroit, Mich. The pleasure
and pride that will come to Miss
Cobb's many friends in this city
at this announcement will be
mingled with regret at losing
her FROM their social circles, to
which she always gave pecu-
liar interest and life.
IT will be a pleasure to his
many friends in this vicinity to
know that Rabbi JLMeyerberg,o of
the Oheb Scholem congregation of
this city, Monday successfully
passed the prescribed examina-
ton in law before the Supreme
court Of our State and is now a
full fedged lawyer. He read
the course under Judge W. K.
Allen, Of the law firm of Allen &
Dortch, studying during his
leisure hours and reciting at
Judge Aliens convenience. THE
ARGUS tenders its congratula-
tons.
ESTIMATES of the size of the
present cotton crop differ widely,
but it is certain that the crop
will be worth to the farmers who
raised it far more than was the
great crop of last year. The New
York Journal of Commerce esti~
mates the cost of last years crop
at $3.50, 971, 983 and the cost of
the present crop at only 1904,
143, 800. If the crop runs TO T.
500, 900 bales and sells for only 8
cents a pound it will bring $780,
900. 900. making a gross profit of
$95, $50, $50 and a net profit of
over $50, 900, 900.
MESsRS. Jno. M. and Albert
Thompson, sons of Mr.. and Mrs.
Dock Thompson of this city,
who have SO long been connect
ed with the Goldsboro Lumber
Company, now of Dover, N. G,
spent Sunday on a visit to their
home here and returned Monday
afternoon. They say the Colds
boro Lumber Company, which
is presided over by our towns
man Mr.. J. J.. Street. aud our
former townsman Mr.. T.. B. Hy-
man, have sent a full exhibit of
their output, from the log in the
rough to the finest finished
piece Of moulding, to the At
lanta Exposition. We are sure
the exhibit will attract attention
and win new renown for eastern
North Carolina.
THE firm of Creech Brothers,
so long doing business at the old
stand of their father, Mr.. D.
Creecb, in Eastern Goldsboro,
