VOTE FOR SEWERAGE.

An Election to, be Held in this City on
Monday, November 8. to Decide the
Question of Issuing Observation-Disclosures
and PoIl-HoIders.
It has been so ordered and on
Monday, the 6th day of Novems
Der, there will be held in Colds
boro an election to decide the ques-
ton of issuing bonds for the pur-
pose of erecting a complete sys-
ten of sewerage. The needs for
such Improvement are too evident
to be recounted at this time. To
say that our present drainage sys-
tenn is inadequate and a constant
menace to the health of our peo-
pie, is reiterating a truth that has
long been too we'll known. The
only interrogation appropriate Just
now is why has this work been de-
ferred SO long. The expense alten-
dant upon such a necessity IS ar IN
important factor and should not be
considered when the health of so
many people and the progress of
our city is constantly being placed
in jeopardy
An entire new registration is or
dered for this election, and those
who do not register will not be
allowed to vote If there be those
among US with souls so small and
minds SO narrow that they disap
prove this all important forward
movement as they do all others of
the same kind, it is not to be sup
posed that they will neglect to re-
gister and to be present OIL the day
of election, and all others who are
possessed with progressive spirits
and have an abiding interest in the
advancement Of Goldsboro and in
the welfare of her people should
accordingly see hat their names
are on the books and be present on
the day of election and lend their
influence for the measure.

Tribute to a Good Man.

The following is an extract
from a sermon on State Missions
preached last night in the Bap-
fist church by Rev. Jno. E.
White, Corresponding Secretary
of the Baptist State C~onYention,
in which, it will be seen, he takes
occasion to pay a high complis
ment to the late Rev. G. Durham,
who was at one time pastor OF
the FIRST Baptist church in this
city:
1--WE need a new definition of
patriotism in North Carolina.
Patriotism is not State pride. It
is not love of our North Carolina
rocks and rills, her woods and
tempted hills
sit is something higher and
better than that. Not country
but countrymen' is the heart cry
of, the patriot. He who uplifts a
life, who promotes a character,
VINO increases GOd-like manhood
and womanhood is North Carols
mas best friend.
1.-THE best and truest type of
patriotism is not the PATRIOTISM
of the politician whose heart
bleeds with country love only
when he wants an Office. Every
preacher who bends over the
mourner's bench and with the
love of Christ in his heart points
q burdened soul to the light and
liberty of the Gospel is a patriot.
II say here as l have said all
over North Carolina that in the
last twenty years, Jno, E. Ray
and DR.. G. Durham did for North
Carolina more to increase the
dominion of peace, order and
righteousness within her borders
and among her people than any
politician who has held Office in
North Carolina in the last so
years,
when you go to, Raleigh to
drop flowers upon the graves Iof
North Cardinals distinguished
sons, lawyers, orators and states
men who lie buried in lakewood
cemetery-and you have graft
tude in your heart and honorable
mention upon your lips of those
to whom North Carolina is in
debted, will you let me tell where
to go. Go to the grave of c..
Durham. No monument is there
to tell the tale of bis devoted and
heroic life, It is unmarked by
even so much as a modest head
stone-but as you stand there
you r standing by the grave of
d patriot and a statesman, who
in the last ten years Of his life in
the work of State Missions as
your servant-did a work of more
truly constructed craftsmanship
than any single citizen of
North Carolina; Senator, Gov
ernor Or Congressman, or whats
eyer his title or Office, has done
since the war;"

Chean Rates to Nashville.

There is to be a series of very cheap
excursions to the Nashville EXPOSE
ton from here, one of which is on
August IL. As the round trip rate,
including ticket of admission to the
Exposition, is but 81 rs there should
be large attendance. The attrac
tions for this month are to be of a
very superior character, including
two grand concerts daily by Victor
Herbert's band, without doubt the
greatest military band in the world,
and on the night of the excursion
there is to be splendid programme
of fireworks. The trains will start at
an early hour and arrive in time to
allow full day at the Exposition
and time after supper for the music
fireworks and Vanity Fair, which is
then at its best. The trains do not
return until IL o'clock.
