While Davie county is justly cele
brated for its ~liberality to orphans,
there is only one child from the county

Beaufort Herald: While The Herald
never has and does not yet accept nor
think the doctrine as taught by the
Sanctifcationists, who have been here
in Beaufort for some time past, as in
any aspect a true doctrine as is taught
by the Scripture, yet we ere glad to
say, as a matter of common justice to
them, that the wholesale charges Of
immortality and that they break up
homes, has not been borne out by their
| life and work here in Beaufort.

big roads north have thoroughly tested
them and find they are so far superior
to the old one that they are now used
altogether. The Southern is to be
commended for all such enterprise

Goldsboro Argus: Little river that
winds it's way about one mile on the

now. The usual clear, crystal waters
have become a green as grass and a
green film seems to permeate the river.
The fish are swimming in schools on
the surface as if hunting for breath.
1t is a phenomenon that is looked on
with many misgivings by those in the
city who are patrons of the GoIdsboro
Water Company, which draws its sup
ply of water from this green colored
stream.
