LOCAL BRIEFS.

yesterday on her way to Balti-
more, where she will spend the
remainder of the winter visiting
relatives.
Mr.. W. W. Prince, who is well
known to the entire trading ter
ritory of Goldsboro, has taken a
position with the extensive, re
liable and widely popular furni-
ture house of Messrs. Royal q
Borden in this city.
ALL subscriptions to The
ARGUS are cash in advance.
Those who have not paid up will
please attend to this very impor-
tant matter at nee. After the
first of February further indul-
gence to delinquents will not be
extended.
THE heavy porker of Mr..
John v. Sherard, Jr., reported
in these columns yesterday, has
been eclipsed by Mr. John Car
penter right here in Goldsboro,
who yesterday killed one that
clipped the BEAM at 525 pounds.
We believe this beats not only
Wayne county, but the entire
State.
We are in receipt of a premium
list of the eighth annual exhibit
ton of the East Carolina Fish,
Oyster, Game and Industrial As
ISOLATION to be held at Newbern,
n. c., February 18, 10, 20, 81,
% and 90, 1895. This promises
to be the largest fair this associa-
ton has yet held; and this is say
ing a great deal. for it's past ex-
positions have been truly superb
DIR. W. H. H. Cobb returned
yesterday from his sick call to
Florida. 1t was his brother, COLI.
p. Cobb's, grand child that was
sick, and not the Colonel him
self, as stated in these columns
last week. His many friends
here will be glad to learn that
Col. Cobb is well and prospecting
in the Land of Flowers"
THE marriage of our esteemed
young friend and townsman Mr..
j. Frank Morris to Miss Laura
Winston Brown, the amiable
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Nathan
Brown, of Raleigh, was solemn
lied in that city Friday evening,
Rev. j. n. Cole officiating. The
ARGUS extends its congratula-
tions to the happy young couple
and wishes them long years and
a full measure of joy and pros
perity.
OUR good friend and county
man Mr.. E. M. Mitchell, of Fork
township, which is a noted town
ship for its fine Lorkers and sue
cessful farmers, reports to us
that he has just killed two pigs
IA months old that weighed, each,
$50 pounds; and three 9 months
old that weighed 100 pounds a
yiece. With such records as
this, and such as have recently
been published in these columns
from other sections of the cOun-
ty, may we not with assurance,
we'll founded, look for more case,
aHuence and comfort among our
farmer friends this year, and
more prosperous times along all
the avenues of interchangeable
commerce?
YES, every day, as THE ARGUS
man goes in and out among our
country friends on the streets OF
our city, who come here to trade,
and from all sections, the cheer
ing news confrontS us that there
is more hog and hominy" more
food for man and beast, laid up
by our farmers than has been
known for many years-even in
the good old times before the
war" Under this unquestiona-
BILE condition of affairs why
should not our people recognize,
and take comfort in, the consol-
ing fact and frown down the
empty cry of hard times? Cotton
cuts but a small figure with the
farmer who can boast of plenty
of home supplies. SO be it, when
the farmers come to plant their
crops for next fall harvesting.
THE city is being profusely
billed for the coming of "Uncle
Toms Cabin" company next Sat
urday night. The pictures OF
the whole are an insult to the
people of the South, as is the
nefarious book of Harriet Beech
er Stowe, of the same name, anC
which had much to do with bring
ing on the war and arousing sec
tional feeling between the NORTH
and South. The war is over anc
the issues of the dead past shoult
not be tolerated in the progress
i've present. We take it that n,
self-respecting Southern citizel
will lend the sanction of hi
presence at the performance O
"Uncle Toms Cabin" in this city
THE outlook for the stock trad,
of Goldsboro this season SEEM
as bright as usual, which mean
that this market will lead thu
State in this business, as it ha
done for years. In addition tt
the old line dealers, who will still
be .'in the ring" Messrs. Ashe
and Joseph Edwards will ente
the competition and make it live
