Mr. r. E. Pipkin, Of this city,
desires to inform the public that
he will run his annual excursion
from Goldsboro to Norfolk Au-
gust g., and return the following
night. Mr.. Pipkin has no equal
as an excursion manager, and
those DESTROYS of spending a
short time out of the city away
from the busy cares of business
life should not fail to take in
this delightful trip. Mr.. Pipkin
always carries a large crowd be-
cause he conducts everything in
a husiness-like manner, and the
best of order prevails both going
and coming, aud every promise
carried out to a letter, as every
one whose good fortune it was
to go with him last year will tes-
tify to. Don't forget the day
and date as this will be the only
opportunity you will have of
visiting Norfolk this year. It
is much to be regretted that Mr..
Pipkin was unable to charter a
train, consequently there will
be no excursion to Asheville as
was anticipated.
