Edwards, who have been on an
extended business trip to the
West, where they made large
purchases of stock, are at home
again.
The desirable business location
on Walnut street, belonging to
to Mr.. w. S. Farmer, recently
vacated by THE ARGUS, has been
purchased by Mr.. E. B.. Dewy at
a round figure.
ONE DIR. J. E. Person has tried
hard to foist himself upon the
people. of Wayne county as their
Representative in the Legisla-
ture for years back. Surely he
realizes now that the people do
not want him.
In giving the names of the
witnesses before the Legislative
election committee in the Person
Munroe contest a s. from this
county, we published the name of
Mr. Sidney Deans, of this city,
when it should have been George
Deans. of Greenleaf.
If you are a business man and
desire your full share of spring
trade, you should advertise in
THE ARGUs-and do it now. The
circulation of the paper is grow
ing and widening daily, and the
business man who fails to patro-
nize it's advertising columns is
not as wise as he should he.
THE Bentonsville Monument
medals that the committee have
arranged for, at 35 cents apiece,
are going to be very beautiful
souvenirs of the memorable oc-
casion. The committee will sell
them at absolute cost, and per
sons desiring to secure them
should at once leave their order
with Capt. T. H. Balm, as only a
limited number will be ordered.
TIE Goldsboro Cotton Mills,
that were recently purchased by
Mr.. w. K. Parker, have at
length been throughly put in
running order and will be''start-
ed up" at an early day on full run
ming time. Mr. Parker has been
in the city for several days per
fecting final arrangements for
hands and supplies. We go for
ward.
THEY have had sleigh riding
for-well for the season out in
Kansas, and at St. Mary's, in that
State, the young people seem to
be particularly enjoying the ex-
hilarating sport, judging from
the accounts we read in the St.
Mary's Star, that comes to our
excl ange table. Among a jolly
party of Is in one sleigh last week
we noticed the name of Miss
Charlotte Edwards, Of this city.
THE Goldsboro Oil Company,
that manufacture the well-known
prolific Cotton Grower" and
several ether popular brands of
standard fertilizers for truck,
corn, tobacco and other crops,
r on the market this season
with increased capacity, and yet,
SO great is their run of orders
that they are kept busy day and
might, from Monday morning TO
Saturday night, to meet the de-
mand.
AS a further indication of the
sound financial condition Of
Goldsboro and the vitality of it's
commercial interests, the Bank
of Wayne yesterday declared,
through its board of directors, a
semi-annual dividend of 4 per
cent upon it's capital stock of one
hundred and twenty-five thous-
and dollars. And hence we rise
to reiterate the assertion that
we've got the best town in the
State"
LOTS of Goldsboro people of
small means, and lots of working
men of Industrious habits, and lots
of thrifty women, whose money
counts, m only waiting to
have the opportunity and to
be asked in order to subscribe
to a cooperative cotton factory
for Goldsboro. When Goldsboro
puts up her own cotton factory
with her own money, lots of
other fellows will come here and
put up cotton factories with
their money. Let's try it.
SOME of the finest porkers we
have ever seen on this market
as fine as the fnest-were hung
up in the spacious 'city market
of Messrs. Sam Cohn & Son, on
Walnut street yesterday. There
were five of the porkers and their
aggregate weight exceeded one
thousand pounds. They were
raised by Mr.. Joel Rhodes, the
efficient overseer and all round
farmer who superintends the
splendid farm of the late Mr.. w.
r. Kornegay, near this city.
AS is well-known Mr.. George
D.. Bennett of this city, deals
i'm the finest horses in the State,
and the animals from his stock
farm and stables always COM
mand good prices, as their merit
can be absolutely relied On. Last
