THE ARGUS would advise our
farmers to plant plenty of rice
this year. They can hardly plant
too extensively of this crop, for
rice is a staple article of diet and
so long as appetites suffer no
change, there will always be a
demand for rice; therefore, those
who plant rice are acting wisely.
Corn, rice. potatoes, sugar cane,
sorghum, peas, vegetables and
live stock will eventually displace
cotton in North Carolina, and we
shall then be a prosperous as we
are always an Industrious people.
IT seems that Wayne county
has had another murder. Last
Saturday at the saw mill of Mr..
Gard Thompson. some five miles
from this city, Isaac 4elyerton,
colored, struck Mr.. John Henry
Davis, white. the sawyer of the
mill, over the head with a piece
Of timber, from which blow
Davis died Wednesday night.
DR.. Thos. Hill, yesterday held
an inquest on the body and the
jury rendered a verdict of death
in consequence of the blow.
Yelverton made off as soon as he
struck Davis and has not yet
been captured.
Mr.. S. FREEDMAN, agent for the
N. K. Fairbank Cos ''Cottolene, :"
is in the city. He is accompa-
MED by an experienced cooking
teacher and competent chef, who
are practically demonstrating its
economical properties, at the
store Of Mr.. [. B. Fonvielle. The
ladies are cordially invited to call
and partake of the dainties pre-
pared with ''Cottolene." The

week. The doughnuts made from
the renowned Royal" flour are
especially delightful, and as for
the real, ,old-fashioned gpound
cake'-well, just go round one
day this week and e and par

IT is our sad duty to chronicle the
death of one of Wayne county's
brightest and most promising
youths, Mr. Leroy Aaron, II
years old, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
David John Aaron, of Mt. Olive,
where he died Thursday morn
ing, rather unexpectedly, al
though he had been i'll for some
weeks. He a greatly beloved
in the community of his home and
a favorite with all who knew him,
He was a dutiful and loving son,
the idol of his fond parents, who
by his death are left with only
one child surviving, another son,
just on the verge of manhood,
!, who is pursuing the study OF
medicine in Baltimore. THE
ARGUS tenders its sincerest con
dolence to them in their irrepar-
able bereavement. The funeral
was held yesterday afternoon
and the interment was made in
the family burying ground in
Mt. Olive.
THE condition of Mr.. F. F,

ness at the Hotel Kennon was re.
ported in yesterdays ARGUS, was
thought to be better last night,
His father will arrive this morn.

gram from Messrs. Berry, Or

he represents, to MI. B. Fl. Crit

given every attention and the
bill sent to them. This is cred

to the magnanimity of the
house he represents. His father
also, by telegram, while Ell route
