give the country people the OPP
portunity of attending them.
Those who have flowers should
begin to save them, in order to
swell tie floral decorations of
Confederate Square" next Fri
day.
IT was a new and gratifying
sight in this city yesterday-the
loading of a number of ''Refri-
gerator" cars with ice from our
Ice factory to be used in ship
ping strawberries to-day from
along the Atlantic Coast Line
between here and Wilmington.
This will be an every day oc-
curence now during the trucking
season, and the Goldsboro Ice
factory. will come in for a large
share of patronage.
The Graded School will give
holiday next Friday, the tenth,
and celebrate Memorial Day by
all the pupils marching from the
court house square to the GENE
terry with flowers to decorate the
soldiers graves. The process
sion will form at the court
house square at ten o'clock,
instead, of eleven as before an
nounced. It is a beautiful Gus
tom, and one worthy of our
school for the children thereof to
do honor to the memory of the
noblest soldiers that ever fought
for truth and right. All parents
should e that their children
are in line, and have flowers.
CERTAINLY by far the hand
soonest and most conveniently APP
pointed business Office in the
State, is the new one just opened
in this city, by Mr. Geo. W.
Dewey & Bro, on Walnut street,
for their general insurance bust
ness. Mr.. E. B. Dewey is the
resident member of the firm and
graces his new Office with the
same congenial courtesy that has
made him SO popular in the bust
ness world and won this excel
lent and reliable firm an army of
customers. Mr.. Leon B. Hum
pnrey, formerly with the general
firm of Dewey Bros, in the ma
chinery and insurance business,
and well-known to and popular
with the trade, has taken a posi-
ton in the new Office with Geo.
w. Dewey & Bro. Success to
hem always.
IT will be remembered that,a
resolution was passed by the
camp of Confederate Veterans of
this county last August, at their
annual reunion, requesting the
Ladies Memorial Association of
this city to hold the Tenth of
May Memorial exercises at II
o'clock in the morning, instead of
in the afternoon as heretofore, in
order that veterans from the
country may attend the exercises
and have the afternoon before
them in which to return home.
The Ladies Memorial Associa-
ton acquiesced in this resolution
of the veterans, and SO the exer-
cises on next Friday in this city
will be at II o'clock in the morn
ing. Mr.. H. R. Parker, of this
city, will be the orator of the oc-
caSiOn.
THERE are plenty of Southern
men who would make good Pres
idents now as they did in the OIL
den time, and the best Presidents
the country ever had we're Vir-
ginians. but of course the sug-
ges ions of a Southern man for
that position are in the nature OF
sensationalism. The Southern
States through their Democatic
Representatives, would hardly be
willing to suggest in a national
convention the nomination of q
Southerner, for they would not
wish to handicap the party by
thus flying in the face of a pre-
JUDGE which is as strong in the
minds of many Northern Demo
Gratis as in the minds of Repub
licans. The time has not yet
come for the South to go into the
business of furnishing Presiden
tial timber. We have fine stocl
of good heart stuff that could bt
worked into Vice-Presidents will
great advantage.
