Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1897-09-16
LOG al. BRIEFS

The Wayne Agricultural
Works have made an addition to
the foundry room of their exten~
s've plant in the Southern part
Of the city.
The barker sh p Of Mr. A D.
Ward mas recently been fitted up
with new furniture and is ~aew
perhaps. the haudsomest in the
State
FEW places the size of Colds
boro have as maay CHURCHES.
Some OF these churches are very
handsome. 100. aud all are neat
aud comfortable.
Mr. w A. Denmark. the efi>
cient tax collector OF &C. .ds5oro
township. gives notice that his
books are now ready and that
taxes for 1897 can be paid at his
Ctfice in the Court house.
CONSIDERABLE pea vine nay
has been cureG this season, 1t
seems to Us that our farmers
ought to raise more hay Thou
sands of bales of hay from other
States have been sold in Goldss
boro this year.
THE weather continues very hot
and dusty. The schools which
open this week are certainly hav-
ing Il good hot time. Our graded
school will begin September goth,
which is early enough.
THE cotton weighers are not
as busy as they would like to be.
Ii Mr., Prosperity will only deign
to smile. at King cotton, howevs
er, the advanced price will fill
our streets with carts and way
ons loaded with the big bales.
SOME folks think that educa
tion is the panacea for all our
ills. Bul let US not forget there
are other kinds of education he~
sides books,-the heart, and hand :,
as well as the brain need educa-
tiOn. The fellow who desires ed
ucation for the sole purpose Of
ESCAPING work is not the man
who will develop into "a good,
wholesome cltizan," as the great
Henry Ward Beecher said.
HUNDREDS of buggies are sold
annually in Goldsboro Most of
them are manufactured in nears
by towns. Why not manufacture
them in Goldsboro? If you take
away from Goldsboro the Fure
niture Factory, Oil Mills, Agri
cultural Works, Cotton Mill,
Lumber Plant and a few other
industries, the town would
decline wonderfully in amount of
hasiness done. Would a buggy
factory help the town?
MRS. "A L Kornegay and Miss
Mary Carrow have returned
from Piedmont Springs They
were delighted with the water,
the scenery, the hotel-in fact
everything. From time to time
the ARGUS has told our people of
the wonderful Piedmont Springs.
aud it is a pleasure to know that
those who took the advice Of the
ARGUS, and went to Piedmont,
found the half had not teen told
OF the wonders of these waters.
THE Seven Springs folks seem
to be liz dead earnest about a rail
t. lo +1,
build a road from here to Seven
Springs. There would be but
little grading, and only two
small creeks to bridge. That is
one of the finest trucking sections
in eastern Carolina. In fact, it
seems to be the home of the
strawberry. The road would do
good business both in freight
and passenger traffic. We be-
lieve the road will eventually be
build either from Goldsboro or
Lagrange.
WELL, the question of a new
water works company IS settled.
The Aldermen have granted the
franchise, and soon Goldsboro
will have the advantage of an
other water supply. The new
company is composed OF home
people who are interested in
everything that tends to the up
building and prosperity Of Colds
boro. The ARGUS congratulates
the people of the city, for an
abundance of good water directly
concerns all alike. We go for
ward.
MEssRS Cook & Sing Teton two
gentlemen who are engaged in q
general merchandise business in
the country near Wilson land who
have heretofore been patrons o1
the Wilson tobacco market, were
in the city to-day with several
thousand pounds of tobacco
which they sold on this market
at figures far in advance of any
thing ever offered them on their
home market. They were 50 well
pleased at the results of their
sales they expressed the firm in~
Sention of bringing all their to-
bacc to this market hereafter, as
the difference in the price viii
overpay them for the greater
distance of transportation. This
is only one of the many cases
that could be cited daily When
patrons of other markets give
