1t pays to raise fine cattle; ant
we have the finest climate in tn,
world right here for the bust
ness. In fact, we have the bes
all round climate and country il
the world.
IT pays to advertise in ever
line of businessmen in the fish
business that has always seemed
to be overdone in this city, anC
small margin left for profits, sc
brisk has been the competition.
But Messrs, D. Bell & Co., OF
Morehead City, who are repre-
sented in. this city by Mr.. Chas.
E.. Haskell, tell US that they
have had most satisfactory re,
turns for their advertisement in
THE ARGUS, and although they
have but recently opened up their
branch here they have been 50
favored with patronage that they
have determined to make it a
permanency.
IT is here! We saw it yesterday
felt it, Gin the air and every
where" and the ''oldest inbabi-
tants' asserted that they readily
recognized it and, that there can
be no doubt about it's having come
the ''spring languor," that is
the precursor of that tired feel
ing" However, we shall have
our doubts about Spring having
really ''got here" untilJim Hol-
lowell has ''hit" his jug Of ''bit-
tiers" twice some morning and
under the inspiration Of the in
tluence Of the exhilarating stuff
has given ARGUS readers his
views on Spring, the Douglas
Legislature and the bill to reg
ulate assignments.
AFTER a long illness patiently
borne. Mr.. Calvin B. Hicks, one
of our oldest citizens, died at his
home here Saturday morning,
at 6 o'clock, in the 63rd year of
his age. He was a devout mem
Der Of the Goldsboro Baptist
church. and had been one of it's
most energetic member for years.
He was a good man: true
to all of the duties of his sta
ton, a kind husband, a loving
father, an earnest friend, an I'M
complaining citizen, a devoted
christian. He passed away fully
reconciled and sustained by a
childlike- faith IN the Saviour's
love and abiding promise. His
funeral was held from the Colds
Ooro Baptist church last Sunday
morning at II o'clock.
The Spring millinery season
will open in this city this week,
and it is to be hoped that the
weather Will be gracious, so that
5he ladies may go out to the
openings and enjoy the pretty
and dainty novelties to
heir hearts content. The first
opening we have heard Of is that
II Mrs. G. H. Moore, who, as-l
sisted by her young lady mill
iner Miss Dunnock, will hold
display of millinery and
stamped work, Of which lat-I
.er she makes a speciality, on
and Saturday Of this
week; and to this end all her
force are now busy in the trim
ming department making up
hats into the latest fash
ons for the coming event.
ALREADY April is almost here,
Ind yet the farmers, save in the
past few days, are not much
'urther advanced in their CROP
preparations than they generally
ire by the first Of February-the
weather. has been SO constantly
Dad since December. But, as we
'aid some days ago, our farmers
n their present retarded condi-
ion should remember the memoir
lble year Of 1865 and borrow en-
enlargement and hope from
heir experiences then. That was
he most prolific crop year, of
every description, ever known
this country, and yet Lee did
lot surrender until the 9th of
and at this very time of
hat year the countless hordes of
'herman's'army, Schofield's army
nd others of the enemy were
waste oar fields, fences,
pastures and homes, leaving US
oenniless, famishing and without
.eed, even, for planting, or teams
o work with. Let US be thank
al, and hopeful, and workful.
