Adams, an eastern comedian who has
an elegant reputation. The specialties
tonight between the acts will be the
best seen here in any week-stand show.
The company played at Cheyenne last
week at so cents and open here tonight
at 10, 20 and 80 cents. The printer
made a mistake in printing the dates,
putting on 10, 20 and 80 cents, and as
1t has been advertised at that price they
will play the week at It. Consequently
we are getting a high-price show for
little money and our people should
take advantage of 1t. The play tonight
is a strong comedy drama, Paradise
Alley" and between the acts we are
to see the beautiful dances and for the
first time hear the great illustrated
song which alone is worth the admis,
sion.

Executive Department., Cheyenne,
Wyo, Nov. 4, 1S97.-The Honorable
Chairman. Board of County Commits
%sioners. Dear Sir: The transmississip,
pi exposition will open in Omaha in
June, 1898, to continue until November,
1898. The government has ~appropriat,
ed a large sun to be used in promoting
a successful exposition. Many of the
western states have made appropria-
tions and will be well represented. A
bill making an appropriation for this
purpose was introduced at the last SEES.
sion OF the Wyoming legislature at a
very late day, but failed to pass. I have
president Of the state university, as
vice president Of the exposition for
Wyoming 1t is desirable that the state
should be represented, but I can see no
way Of doing 1t unless the counties will
take up the matter individually.
There are some of the exhibits dis
played at the worlds fair at Chicago
now in the possession Of the state,
which can be used to supplement the
exhibits that may be made by the coun-
ties. 1t is probable that the railroad
companies will be very liberal in all
matters pertaining to transportation.
AS space is soon to be allotted by the
exposition managers t 0 the states ap>
plying for it.it Is necessary that action
be taken without delay II the state is
to be properly represented.
I recommend that this question be
brought before your board of county
commissioners and that steps be taken
to secure an exhibit of the products
that will best represent the
Of your county. A committee of repre-
sentative citizens might be appointed
to examine into and report upon the
feasibility Of making a county exhibit.
President Graves will be pleased to rem
der every assistance in his power, and
I recommend that you correspond with
him upon the subject. Very truly
yours. W. A. RICHARDS.

MEMORIAL DAY.
Daily Argus, last Monday.

~ - AN3 Ac0O
To-day throughout North Car
lima is commemorated the Con-
federate Dead, and Goldsboro,
ever true to all that is noble and
right, takes pride in doing honor
to those brave heroes whose valor
in arms is the richest legacy of
which the manhood of the South
throughout the years can boast.
In some sections and towns of
the State the custom has obtained
of late to make some individual
General of the Lost Cause the
subject of the Memorial address,
and The ARGUS takes this occa-
sion, as o%pportune, to record its
disapproval of the seemingly
growing custom.
1t is we'll enough for Camps of
Confederate Veterans to designate
their organizations by giving them
the name of some General, and
at their reunions to have panes
gyrics delivered in honor of ipdl-
vidual soldiers; but this day has
been set apart for the commemora-
ton of the soldier of the ranks,
and its, celebration, tn refore,
should not be made to revive the
vain regret that upon some single
name the populace ever loves to
crowd the laurels that belong in
varying degree to other, but I'M
remembered heroes. Human, as
we are, this defect of adjustment
seems inevitable IN all our awards
of honors. Not so here in Colds
boro. In our beautiful cemetery,
in the lovely plot set apart for
the purpose, we have erected one
of the handsomest monuments
in the South ITO the Memory
of the Confederate dead" and
our observance of the day is in
honor of those countless fellows
patriots and brother-heroes in
arms in the ranks who died on
the field of glory. gaming the
star of martyrdom upon their
crown of heroism, but. alas,
whose forgotten names and UNI
recorded valors enjoy no individ
ual Immortality.
All honor to their immortal
heroism. their devotion to duty
their untarnished honor III arms!

GREECE ASKS MEDIATION.
Written Application Made to the
Powers Through Their Minis
listers i'm Athens.

Athens, May 10.-The CORES
pondent of the Associated Press
learns on the very best authority
that Greece has made a written
application to the powers through
their representatives at Athens
with a view of obtaining media
ton. All the representatives have
promised in their replies to use
their best Offices except the Ger
man Minister, who has merely
acknowledged the receipt of the
note from the Cabinet. The Porte
is inclined to support the powers
with a view to the fertilization of
negotiations, but it declines to con-
sent to an armistice, on the ground
that this would enable Greece to
recognize her forces.
AS a matter of fact, Turkey
continues to send troops from Sa-
lonica homeward, and it is proba~
BILE that Osman Pasha has re-
turned to Constantinople from
Salonica. In view of both facts il
may be assumed that nothing Sc
rious is expected, but the .contin-
uanee of a state of war is regarded
as tie very best means of hasten
ing the efforts of diplomacy
Without aoubt hopes may have
been raised in Turkey that thu
Ottoman Government might an
mex Thessaly and restore the oil
frontier of 1881, but the Sultan
is not inclined to risk such a step
On the contrary, he opposes j
uncompromisingly and will no
yield to the pressure of the wa
party at Constantinople. He wi

demnity and a slight rectificatio

BRILLIANT MARRIAGE.
Mr.. Walter j. YelvertOn Married
to Miss Minnie May SauIs i'm
the Methodist Church.

For several weeks past madame
rumor has been predicting the Gull
mination of a social event in which
our people have been considera-
bly, interested. This prophecy
was fulfilled last night in the spa:
cious auditorium of the Methodist
church, when MI. Walter j. yell
verton, a popular young merchant
of this town, led to Hymen's altar
Miss Minnie May Sauls, the ac-
complished daughter of Mr.. Henry
j. Sauls. The elegant church,
together with the beautiful deco
rations which adorned the build
ing, added much to the beauty and
impressiveness of the occasion.
Long before the appointed hour
had arrived, the spacious building
was thronged with visitors and ad-
miring friends of the contracting
parties. Promptly at half past
eight o'clock Rev. e. P. jerome,
the officiating minister, and Miss
Mary Prince, the accomplished or
ganist, preceded by the ushers,
Messrs. Ernest Moore and Charlie
Davis, marched up the aisles and
occupied their respective stations.
AS the strains of the beautiful
Mendelssohn wedding march
foated through the building, the
bridal party entered in the follows
ing order Mr.. w. L. Banks
with Miss Lula Yelverton, Mr..
L. Gardner with Miss Lou D.
Overman, Mr.. Geo. E. Yelver-
ton with Miss Meta Yelverton, Mr..
Fred E. Sauls with Miss Lille
Warren. Then came the bride
with the man of her choice, soon
to be made her husband, with the
impressive ceremony of her pas
tor, Rev. G. P. jerome.
The bride wore a beautiful gown
of white brocade silk, and carried
bridal roses.
The ceremony ended, the party
repaired to the home of the brides
parents, where they found a table
waiting for them, loaded dowr
with those things calculated te
appease the appetite of the inner
man. To-day they will dine al
the home of theagroom's parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Yelyerton.
Mr.. and Mrs. Yelverton were
the recipients of many beautiful
and valuable presents, which, in g
measure, indicate the esteem il
which they r held by their many
friends. They have many friends
in our little town and elsewher,
who join in wishing them all thu
happiness this life affords.
