A Few Suggestions.
July 9, 1895.

The sale of THE ARGUS should
not affect it's continued publica-
ton and standing in the commun-
ity or impair its value. Its daily
publication for the past ten years
and more marks the greatest
strides in the city's history as a
growing commercial and manu-
featuring centre, and the people
Of Goldsboro-the business men
and other enterprising citizens
owe to it themselves to see to it
that the value Of the paper is not
underestimate at the sale, for
that of itself would be a great
drawback to the city as to its
standing in the great commercial
centres where newspapers L
esteemed the most influential and
unfailing factors in the upbuild-
ing of trade and the maintenance
of prestige. Ten years is but a
brief span in the history Of a
community or city, as time is
reckoned, but G~oldsboro has
reason to be proud Of her record
of achievements in the past ten
years. In that time the city has
more than quadrupled her man
ufacturing enterprises and thrib-
led her volume Of commerce, &C
quired electric lights and water
works and added other public
Improvements of permanent ma
ture and inestimable value-and
along every avenue Of progress
The ARGUS has taken the lead
and invited the footsteps Of en-
terprise, while the profits to
capital and the benefits to labor
resulting therefrom have proved
the wisdom of it's course and the
virtue of public spirit wisely di-
ERECTED. These things should not
be forgotten by the citizens of
lGoldsboro in this crisis that
has come to their daily pa
per, but should be gravely con-
sidered and magnanimously
met. Surely there r enough
sagacious business men of ample
means IN GOldSOOrO TO cOmpfe-
bend the STATION in all it's bear
ings and realized just what a set
bach it would be to the town fol
it's daily paper, after a record OF
ten years of every duty to the
community unfailingly done, to
go to pieces under a forced sale.
! when the organization of a stock
company Of a few thousand dol
5 lars capital could establish the
paper on a frmer basis thar
lever before, ave is presen'
owner from loss and make it
lsure dividend paying enterprise
It behooves our business men tC
get together and consider these
l Suggestions.
