and if the weather be favorable,
we believe everybody from this
city and section will be in attend
ance.
THE Board of County Educa-
ton was in session yesterday,
with all it's members in attend
ance. The session was brief and
only routine business was trans
acted.
RETURN tickets 10 the MardiI
Gros, at New Orleans, will be on
sale February 22nd to 25th in
elusive; good to return for fifteen
DAYS from date of sale. Fare
from Goldsboro is S25.5 SO.
IT is going the rounds of the
papers that General Corse, of
Virginia, is the last of the full
rank Of Confederate Brigadier
Generals. We have one in the
full vigor of years in this city, in
the person of our esteemed
townsman Gen. W. G.. Lewis.
FURTHER talk about Cabinet
friction" This talk has been
heard ever since the present ad-
ministration began, but if Con-
gress had worked as harmonious
" as have President Cleveland
and his Cabinet the COMPRESSION
al trademark would not now be a
sad looking donkey.
SEVERAL other Republicans
from various sections of the
Eastern part Of the State passed
through the city yesterday on
their way to Raleigh, in the
capacity of visiting statesmen"
to the Legislature. 1t has already
been given out that the %nefariOus
legislation will be rushed through
during the last days Of the SEES
sion.
OUR young friend and towns
man MI. Louis d. .Giddens, Jr.,
a graduate in his profession of
watch making and engraving, |
is an artist of def execution, rare
ability and marked originality.
We saw at his place of business
yesterday some fine work and
beautiful designs in engraving,
of which he is making a specially
at this time.
NEXT Thursday is ''St. Valen-
tines Day. The occasion, which
was once so rife with obServa
ton, seems of late years to have
fallen into disuse. 1t is seldom
now that one ever sees a Valen-
tine, when ten years ago the
store windows at this season
were full of them, and most ev-
erybody vas a purchaser Of
either the comic or the refined.

TWENTY-FIVE head of fine
mountain cattle were received in
this city yesterday by Messrs. S.
Cohn & Son, of the City Market,
and will be toned up in their feed
stalls and then served to their
army of customers in this com
munity and in Newborn, where
they have a branch business. It
is now generally known that
Goldsboro market supplies the
best beef in the State.
THE city was full of visiting
statesmen" yesterday-mostly
old '68 Republicans, on their way
to Raleigh, to give counsel and
succor to the fusion crew con-
shutting the unprincipled MAORI
ty that control legislation in the
General Assembly this year.
What a spectacle for old line
Democrats to look upon! Was
such a sight ever eel before
since the nefarious days of 1868 !?
THE politician who attempts
to array the town against the
country, is one of the worst en-
emies the State and nation can
have, but he should be sized up.
AS to hostility between the one
and the other we should as soon
look for it between man and
wife. They r mutually bound
to each other by every tie that
can bind. One cannot and would
not succeed at the expense Of
the other.
The advantages of residence in
the South are beginning to be ap-
preciated. We are getting more
semigrants than ever before, and
they are of the right kind. Farm
ers from the northwest, where the
climate is severe both in winter
and summer and where crops are
uncertain, are seeking homes in
this genial land, where there are
no extremes of heat or cold and
where there is a reasonably GER.

Mr. S. l.. Dill, superintendent
of the A. & n. @. r. R., was in
the city yesterday. The trair
came in a little off time, with two
engines doing the locomotive
work, and made all her connec
tions at this point, as usual. A
funny thing happened on board
en- route. A drummer" was on
the train and when it began to
