THE NEWS FROM GENOA.
What T~ranspires i'm and Around
the Woodland Section.

DEAR ARGUS-Cur1ng tobacco
is the order of the day among
our farmers,
Mr.. w. u. Grantham, a pros
porous and energetic farmer of
this section, made business calls
at Goldsboro Tuesday.
Several shipments of water
melons to the Northern markets
haYe been made by our farms
ers of late, and the prices res
ceived have been tolerably fair,
Notwithstanding the rush on
the markets. Some of the finest
we have seen this season were
raised in this section.
We are pleased to note that the
change in the crops in this Sec
ton for the last two weeks has
been almost marvellous. Corn is
good and cotton better than for
several years. Tobacco is greatly
improved. and a fine crop will be
made.
Miss Lollie Lewis. was in your
city Sunday evening on a visit &c
relatives and friends.
A farmer tells US that the CROP
of scuppernong grapes is the lar
lgest he has eyer known.
The tobacco crop III this secs
ton has greatly improved since
the refreshing rains Of last week
and soon our farmers will have
thousands of pounds of tobacco
on the floors of the two nam.
moth warehouses Of your city.

cracy: May History Repeat Itself.
DEAR ARGUS: AS none of our
people are visiting foreign chimes,
and we have no foreigners i incur
midst we have very little to
chronicle this week.
We mentioned IN our last items
the crop prospects which were
very good, we fear now our farm.
ers are having too much rain for
our light soil. the rains have
been very heavy for a few days
the past week.
We are not complaining: we've
long since seen our error in that
respect. a lesson taught US by
our Populist friends. They too
from sad experience have learned
we had better let we'll enough
alone. You know We haye a great
many Populists in our township:
some of them are as honest in
their convictions as we are in
the Democratic faith. We hope
they will be forgiven for their
error, and thatGod will bless them,
since the leaders have prepared
for themselves a great feast. q
can almost hear them rattle the
china at Morehead) and left the
honest ones in the cold, with the
probability of great many eating
their christmas turkey behind
Sheriff SCOTS iron bars. I feel
confident thay will return to
their first love and aid the Demo~
cratic party to restore to US our
quiet and inoffensive laws, so
that tax receipt will not have
to stand between US and the
county Jail.
There is very little interest in
the local school election. We be-
lieve in Democratic principles =
low taxes and better schools for
the white race by private subscrip-
ton.
Those raising tobacco in our
section r having a tough time of
it-killing worms in the day, and
nodding by the furnace at night.
Our Baptist friends began a
series of meetings at their church
and propose holding all the week.
We hope their effo,ts will be
crowned with success, and many
+ 'ls be brought into the fold.

ANOTHER NEW ENTERPRISE.
The Goldsboro Undertaking and Repair
Company Soon TO open Its Doors for
business

Company Soon to Open Its Doors for
business
For several weeks past there
has appeared regularly in the
columns of the ARGUS an adver
tisement announcing that the
Goldsboro Undertaking and Re-
pair Company would commence
business in this city on the 1st Of
August. AT the time the ans
nouncement first made its APP
pearance it attracted right much
atten lion and there was consid-
cradle conjecture as to who were
the persons that would compose
the company Of the above name.
At no time since has there been
any public announcement made
as to who the individuals were,
and while there r some few
persons who have been able to
unraYel the mystery, yet the
majority of the citizens of Colds
boro and surrounding section are
still ignorant of the personel OF
the projectors of the new enters
prise. But a further perusal OF
this article will grs tify the cu-
riosity of the many readers
Of the ARGUS, for the time has
come when such a prominent ad-
dition to the business circles of
our city can no longer be kept a
secret, and we take pleasure in
introducing to readers the
following names and the offices
they are to fill i'm the new com
pany:
MIR. K. E. Bizzell, president.
Mr.. John Slaughter, manager -,
Mr.. Carl E. Stanley, assistant.
The two first named are gentle
men who have figured conspicu-
ously in the business affairs OF
our town, and not one of our pub
lie spirited citizens stand higher
in the estimation of the public
than they. They have long been
prominently identified with our
commercial interests, and have all
ways occupied honorable positions
before the public.
The last named of the persons
of the new company, Mr.. Carl E.
Stanley, is the son Of our esteemed
townsman Mr. J.W. Stanley, and is
a bright young man with a promis-
ing future. This will be his first
business experience, and because
sterling business ventures so often
fail of appreciation from the tickle
populace, we cannot predict sue
cess for him now, but venture to
assert that he has planned fol-
himself high ideals, which he will
strive to accomplish.

Many d man who seemed to be dying of

Pterce's Colder Medical Discovery. This
wonderful medicine has shown the doctors
that consumption isn't always a fatal dis

germs of 1t iii the blood and clear them out
thoroughly. That is What this Discovery"
does. It makes new ~blood,-healthy blood.
The germs of consumption can't exist in
healthy blood. They simply let go their
hold and are carried out of the system /;
then the new blood builds up new tissue,

vitality to the lungs, the bronchial tubes and
every other part of the body.
It cures people after cod liver oil has

cry makes the digestion strong.
For thin and pale and emaciated people
there is no flesh-builder In the world to
