GoLDsBoRo is something moro
than Il mere railroad station. 1t
is a city with near 5000 inhabi-
tants, and its citizens pride them
selves on the good appearances
that it makes, and are not willing
to have a sawmilL and cotton gin
erected on one OF the principal
streets, right near the heart of the
city. While our people as a
whole invite and welcome all new
enterprises of that class, still they
would have them take their place
with others of their class on the
suburbs of the city.
We regret to learn hal we are
to lose from our corps of efficient
correspondents our bright and
newsy contributor from Faison,.
