IaFmcrS. we nave nGarU of no
cholera among the hogs this sea-
son.
THIS has been a beautiful sea
son fuc hicking cotton, and the
heecy staple never came to mar-
ket in finer condition, but the
price, the price.
HIS many friends will be glad
to learn that DR.. J M Parker,
the dentist. has returned home
much improved in health and
that he will be at his office at the
usual hours hereafter.
THE enrolment at the white
Graded School for this the open
ing week of the session is
COZ, which is the largest in the
history Of the school. Each sue
ceeding session demonstrates more
fully the popularity of this insti
tuition, which occupies warm
place in the hearts of both parents
and pupils alike.
The public pump in trout 5of
the business place of Mr.. Erastus
Edwards & Son, on William
street, is out of repair and is a
great inconvenience to the resis
dents in the neighborhood who
get their supply of drinking
water from that place. The city
authorities should look into this
matter.
II has been good year to raise
turkeys-not much rain-and the
supply of the great American bird
will be ample for home consump-
ton. Good news this is, too, for
many there are who can say with
the little boy -
''Of all the things coed to eat,
Give me good old turkey meat -
LOCAL hunters Friday shot
and captured what they say was
au eagle The bird was a large
one and measured 4 feet and 10
inches from tip to tip of wing.
Eagles are scarce in this section,
but the hunters have the foot Of
some big bird, which is all they
brought with them to show what
the thing was.
AT the sitting Of the Superior
Court last week for the trial of
civil actions jury composed of
eight lawyers, one justice of the
peace, one deputy sheriff and two
citizens were called on to pass
upon a divorce case. AS they
decided III favor of the plaintiff
none are so bold as to rise up
and question the legality Of their
action.
NORTHERN capitalists are max
ing inquiries in regard 70 the
bonds which the city intends to
issue to erect a system Of sewers
age. 1t has been thought all the
while that it would be no trouble
to float the bonds. All that is
necessary is for the people to
sanction the measure and we
shall have what we have long
needed.
We regret to chronicle the
death of one of our oldest citi
zens, Mrs. Cilicia Taylor, widow
of the late John Taylor, in the
18th year of her age. She leaves
no children, but wide circle Of
relatives and friends to mourn hel
loss. She was most estimable
Christian woman, and devout
member Of the Goldsboro Baptist
church.
