abatlng In this vicinity.
1HE Jail is again gaining its
usual quota of criminals for the
next term of Wayne Superior Su-
perior Court.
The ARGUS reaches the people.
Remember this all-important fact
when you may have anything you
wish to advertise.
MR. w. r. Moore, of this
county, has moved with his family
to Raleigh, to be on the ground
and ready for first appointment
under MIR. John K. Smith, as soon
as the latter shall come into charge
of the Pcnitentiary, which is now
only question of time.
The stock tr de of our city is
still at full b.ast. Many mules
and horses change hands here
daily. and farmers come for fifty
miles and more TO Goldsboro to
buy stock. In fact, as a stock
market our city is known to be
the best in the State-as it is in
many, if not all other respects.
Mr.. James Aycock, one of the
leading farmers of the Fremont
section, and for many years con-
stant reader of the WEEKLY
ARGUS, was in the city to-day and
paid us a pleasant call. Mr..
Aycock brought 800 pounds of
fine tobacco to this market, which
was sold on the floors of the
Farmers Warehouse at very
satisfactory price.
The Legislative committee visited
the Eastern Hospital, near this
city, and returned Thursday to
Raleigh. To man, regardless of
politics, they were unanimous and
generous in their praise of DR..
Miller's administration. His
place cannot be supp led, and his
term of office should not be inter
ferred with.
SUPERINTENDENT Smith, of
the Wayne Cotton Mill. is hrs>
tier right. This splendid mill,
under his energetic supervision
and competent knowledge cf how
work shou d be turned out, is in
creaslng its output daily aud
winning new customers where
ever its superior go' ds came
under observation. So rapid y
are its orders increasing that it.
has been found necessary TO add
mere looms. and a so larger boiler
power. these have already ar
rived. and will be in operation
by the first of March.
WE regret to learn of the death
of Mrs Betsy Ivey Herring, wife
of Mr.. Benjamin L Herring, of
New Hope township. Mrs Her.
ring was 73 years old. She was
a sister of the late John Ivey and
was the last one of large fami-
ly-her brothers and sisters one
by one went before her. Now
the good woman has gone to join
them. Within the past few years
Death has laid his frosty hand on
the brow of many of the most
prominent citizens of that part
of the county: Lewis Whitfield
and wife, John Ivey. John Parks,
Thomas Sutton, Daniel Sutton,
Council Bizzell and wife, j. W
Isler. John I. Herring and wife
and many, many others.
IT is with inexpressible regret
that we chronicle the death of
Master John o B.zz9ll, the II year
old son Of MIR. aud Mrs. K. E.
Biszell. of this city, which oc-
curredSaturday morning at their
home on Mulberry street, after a
lingering illness of several
months. He was a most amiable
child. of gentle disposition,
bright mind and promise. His
death so young, therefore, is all
the more sad. But d a'h came
not to him unawares. and he has
passed out beyond earth's sight
bearing the tender buds Of hope
in the sinless hands of youth to
blossom in the summer land Of
Gods Eternal Day. The
sympathy of our entire commu-
nifty goes out to the bereaved
and sorrowing parents in
their sad visitation.
The papers are filled with no
tices of the death of prominent
people. From all parts of the
country come the sad news of
/. sickness and death.
Thus does one generation give
way to another. The child of to-
day is the man of tomorrow, and
the cradle and the hearse are not
: far apart. He who solves the
problem of life is wise son. But
there comes the question, "Do
any solve the problem e. Unhes-
itatingly we answer, Eyes, a thou
sand times, yes.'' Were it not
30, the world would be indeed a
poor place to dwell in. The
watch word of life is duty, and
the man or woman who has set
up in the heart that Standard
