THE NINTH SPRING.
An Analysis Shows its Water Pregnant
With Health Giving Minerals.

The water from the famous Seven
Springs near this city has been used
freely for years by inyalids and
others with Affections and always
with good results.
Now new spring, known as the
Ninth Spring, has been discovered
in close poximity to the others, the
waters of which are even more preg-
nant with health-giving qualities.
This Spring is situated at the foot OF
high hill and its waters are con
stantly oozing out of a beautiful
bed of white sand from the unfath-
omed depths of subtelraneaI
channel, where abound in profusion
the richest minerals of health giving
properties.
Mr.. H. J. Ham, man well-known
for his genial disposition and hos
pitable treatment of strangers, has
purchased the site on which the
Ninth Spring is situated and has
erected hotel known as Rural
Retreat where those suffering from
the ills to which the human flesh is
heir, can repair and at all times have
free access to the waters Of the
Spring, and enjoy without molesta
ton the balmy breezes from across
the verdant fields of that fertile val

The Primi i've Baptist Church in this city
Beseiged by Gam bleFs.
It is known by all people who
aye acquainted with the ways of
the world, that any game of
chance has its allurements for
most people, and that the habit of
gambling is practiced regularly by
a great many people. OF course,
there is a law prohibiting such a
business, but the officers of most
cities are powerless to prevent it,
as it is generally carried on in the
secret corners where the officers
never have occasion to go.
Any person addicted to the
habit of gambling would first go
to such a place to find companions
with which to practice the profess
sion, and would never think of 60
ing to a school building, a city
hail, a court house or church ed
ifice to gamble. While this is
true in a general way, it seems
that here in Goldsboro there is at
least one exception to the rule.
he ARGUS is informed by one of
the prominent members of the
Primitive Baptist church, that
there is a club of gamblers who
congregate regularly in that edifice
to play cards and practice other
devices of gambling.
1t is presumed that this place
| was selected because it was meyer
visited by any one except on
the days when there was
to be preaching 1t is with
reluctance that the ARGUS
records such conduct by any
class of people of our city. We
do not wish it to be known outs
side of our gates that there are
people here in Goldsboro who
prostitute the house built for
the worship of God and dedicated
to Him for the use of the lowest
of all vices, aud we would not
tell it now if we were not afraid
that the wrath of sin>avenging
God might fall on our beautiful
little city as it did on Sodom and
IGomorah in the days Of Lot.
The people who so degrade them
selves and so desecrate the house
of God must be a stranger to con.
science and must have lost al
respec for Christians and al
reverence and fear for the living
God.

as I can't be any solace to her at these
times. 1 came away as soon az 1 could.
You see, this is the anniversary of my
fathers"
The girls face had become grave al
most as soon as John began speaking,
and it was in a different lone than she
had used at first that she asked:
"Your father was killed in the war,
wasn't he, John"
"We don't know. 1 suppose he was,
but mother will not think SO. Inever
saw him, you know, for 1 wasn't born
until he had been gone six months.
Shall 1 tell you about him."
Yes" whispered Bessie, nesting
closer to him in the twilight. And John,
with an occasional little break in his
voice, told her the story of the father he
had never seen.
In the village of Banbury, at the open
ing of the war, lived a prosperous young
merchant, John Lorimer. He had not
been married long when the call for
90-day volunteers came, and for this and
other reasons he did not feel it incum-
bent upon him to respond to the call.
But when it was seen that the civil wal
was assuming alarming proportions,

Eies of the day. At the church door Mrs.
Lorimer left her son and Bessie to join
some other flower-laden woman in O
carryall, and the young people walked
leisurely toward the cemetery.
There were short services at the base
of the tall shaft inscribed: ITO Our
Unknown Dead"-then the graves were
decorated, the salutes fired, and the pro-
cession marched back to the village,
leaving behind only a few persons, most
of whom had friends buried there.
Among those who remained were John
Lorimer and Bessie Armstrong, who, in
a silence begotten by the solemnity of
the occasion, walked hither and
thither among the shady paths of the
little cemetery.
Whats that?' asked John, suddenly,
as they turned into a path they had not
seen before.
Bessie gave a little scream. Almost
at their very feet lay the old stranger
john had noticed in the morning, with
the blood trickling from a wound on his
gray head. He had, apparently, sat
down on a-stump to rest, and, overcome
by the heat and his rather long march,
had fallen backward striking his head
on a large stone just beside the path
way.
