AN occasional load of water
melons r yet seen on this mar
ket-very suggestive of 1.-The
last rose of Summer"
A BEAUREGARD monument as
ISOLATION has been formed in New
Orleans for the purpose of erect
ing a suitable Beauregard me-
mortal. which is to cost not less
than $50. 600.
ONE by one Goldsboro takes
on new city features. The latest
acquisition is a full fedged auc-
pioneering establishment, under
the supervision of Messrs. j. M.
and A. B. Hollowell. And they
are doing a lively business.
The liveliest place in the city
these days is the floor of the
mammoth tobacco warehouse,
where every morning there is a
gathering of farmers with loads
of the golden leaf, buyers in
brisk competition bidding for the
purchase, and lockers on by the
score who enjoy the scene and
take interest in the enterprise.
THE run of guests at the Ho-
tel Kennon these days is the
largest in it's history. This may
be taken as an indication that the
travelling public know how to
appreciate a good hotel. The
Kennon is abreast of the best in
the land, and it's energetic pro-
prietor, Mr.. B. Il. Griffin, leaves
no effort unexerted for the com
fort and pleasure Of his guests.
THE new wing that is under
construction at the Eastern Hos
pital, near this city, is five stories
high and is well-nigh completed.
The other day a whole brick fell
from the fifth story scaffolding
and came in contact with the
head of a negro man at work
on the ground below. The brick
was broken in two by the collis-
ion, and the skin of the negro's
head was slightly cut. but the
head came through all right, and
the negro continued to work on.
THE Mabel Paige company
that have the boards of the Mes
senger Opera House for the cur
rent week. gave d very enjoyable
entertainment last night that was
greeted by a large audience. The
company is composed of excel
lent talent and commendS itself
to the liberal patronage of the
theatregoers of the community.
The Hillsboro Observer of this
week, speaking Of the parlor
restaurant of MIR. Geo. D, Miller,
recently opened in this city, says:
''Mr. George D. Miller, VINO has
many friends and acquaintances
all over this State. has opened a
frst-class restaurant at Colds
boro, n. O., opposite the railroad
ticket Office. Meals served at
all hours. Oysters a speciality.
When passing through Golds>
boro don't fail to cali at Miller's
restaurant for something good
to eat at moderate prices.
The newspaper is your friend
in spite Of you. II helps to build
up the community that sup
ports you. When tue day comes
to any people that the news
papers are dead, the people are
on the edge of the grave, with
nobody left to write their cpl
taph. Do you contribute to the
support of your home paper? If
not, why not? THE ARGUS in
vites yon to come round and sub
scribe, and if you be a business
man in the community, let it oe
known through our advertising
columns. Let's pull together and
make Goldsboro great for our
mutual benefit.
NOTWITHSTANDING the long
dry spell and the absence of equi-
noctial storms the face Of nature
is changing to 1.-the ser and
yellow leaf" Jack Frost has
waved his sceptre DER the land
and everywhere is visible evi-
dences of his whitening dominion.
IT'S true that in these balmy
October days some ''truant
breaths of summer linger" to
kiss the late blooming flowers
and bear their sweetness away
like the ''tender grace of unr--
turning childhood and leave aja1
in their passing the door of win
Ger's coming. And yet, with al
this October sunshine is like
the mellow wealth of harvests
and the charms Of noontide."
THE assaults of infidels anc
such like who parade themselves
as leaders of thought, politica
and otherwise, will, we venture
the prophesy, never overturn the
church. They will prove no
more hurtful to- the Christian
system, if it be allowed to com
pare small things with the great
est, than the boisterous wind.

for a time, and loudly threaten
it's subversion; whilst in effect
they only serve to make it strike
