A Splendid Fertilizer for Tobacco
Manufac urers in this CITY.

The products of the several in
dustries of Goldsboro have always
been of high grade and have been
eagerly sought after on the mar
kets wherever introduced. sAlona
with other manufactured articles
from the crude materials that are
so abundant in this section is a
brand of guano known as the Pro

tured by the Goldsboro Oil Co.
For several years the cotton
planters all through this section
have used the Prolific Cotton
Grower with gratifying success
and the Company have received
many unsolicited testimonials from
men of prominence. 1t has only
been for the last, two or three
years that this brand has been used
as a fertilizer for tobacco. The
yield has been so abundant and the
product of such quality as to
recommend it to the favor of all
growers of the weed. The fol

The Angel of Death Has Made Frequent
Visits of Late.
Mr.. Troy Howell, of the Ar
rington bridge section of this
county, twas in the city Monday
looking sad and forlorn. Within
the last two weeks aff1iction's hand
has been laid heavily upon bis
family and the angel of death has
been a frequent visitor at his
home.
His first sorrow was the loss of
his young babe, and before the
cold, clammy clods had settled on
its coffin the spirit of his next
youngest child had winged its
way to the Heavenly mansions,
and then his heart that had been
SO suddenly wrung with grief,
was we'll nigh broken when the
wife of his bosom was taken
from him.
All this is inexpressibly sad :,
and is almost beyond human en-
durance. but it is feared that the
end is not yet. He has two more
little brightseyed children at
home that he had thought was
left to console him, but. sad to
say, they. too, have been stricken
with fever. and unless relief
comes soon they will join the new
made family on the other shore.

if he could get the Board of Com

Now, I have nothing to say
against the commissioners TAX

property of the county ard
keeping it up with county funds,
if they should think best to do
so. But I do protest against al

end Of the bridge and discontin-
ued notices stuck up at public
places. Amid all that, several
were cautioned every hour or
two who were going that way,
that the bridge was under re-
pairs, yet they would hitch their
horses aud walk across.
Let Mr.. Porter or tax payer"
go to the bridge when it is pass

that crossing continues across

member whose toes you are
treadlng on-some of the best
citizens the county Or even the
State affords. Remember the
situation of Mr.. J. B. Edgerton,
who owns land on each side of
the river, nearly opposite the

tends on both sides of the river
The Quakers who have churches
on both sides of the river and

little tobacco at the mill without
asking your permission to chew
it and a thousand other advan-
tages afforded by the bridge.

TOBACCO MARKET.

TGoldsboro is destined to be-
come the tobacco market of the
State,'' said a man to-day, who
has had long experience in the
business and who has had ample
opportunity to make close obser-
vations in this as we'll as other
States. ssThe prices paid on this
market now," he continued, "are
equal to and in some instances in
advance Of those paid elsewhere. l
see from the amount that is un-
loaded daily on this market that
the farmers of this section are no
longer experimenting with tobacco,
but are making it one of their
staple crops The speaker is
one of the large buyers that have
recently located in Goldsboro.
The phenomenal success of
Goldsboro'ss one warehouse last
season was the subject for much
comment in tobacco centres in this
and adjoining States, and this sea-
son when it became known that
another warehouse had been ad-
ded and extensive preparations
had been made to handle the large
crops of the surrounding country
