"Grand Rounds"
Good reports come from the
rice crop in this county.
\ Upon cool, calm reflection, car
any white man afford to vote any
other than the Democratic ticket!
There is considerable sugar
cane planted this year, AID the
crop is good. Many farmers make
an excellent syrup.
Mr.. George Best expects to
move to G0ldsbor0 during the
fa23--b bat not until after The secs
oEi Tuesday a November.
The juicy watermelon looks a
little lonesome these cool fall days
gives one the shivers, just lit
lie bit, "don't you know.'
Mr.. J. R. Ray is in the city to
organize d lodge OF the Wood
men of the World" It is a frater-
nal organization with an iusur-
ance feature,
Capt. H. F. Price has returned
from Fremont, where he has been
doing surveying and engineering
work. Capt, Price is one of the
best civil engineer in the State.
A Joint discussion between
Hon. c. B Aycock and Cy.
Thompson has been arranged to
cane Of at Hoods Swamp on
Septe mber %. OF course it will
be crowded occasion.
MRS. DIR. W. W. Faison has
returned from visit to the des
lightful old town of Southport
by the sea, where she and the
boys, Masters Ralph and William,
spent several weeks.
The Southern train that ar
rived here last Wednesday afs
ternoon killed four fine Holstien
and Jersey cows belonging to
MIR. T. B. Parker at his farm
near the Eastern Hospital.
Messrs. ", A. Johnson and
Jno. E. Brown of the Goldsboro
Riffs at jacksonville, arrived
home last week, the former on a
discharge for disabilities, the lat
ter on limited furlough for sick
ness. They both bring good res
ports from cur boys at the front.
The hot wave is broken at last,
and soon we shall enjoy the au>
tumn days, perhaps the most de-
lig htful part Of the year. But
after al, each season has joys
peculiar to isalf, and the change
that each one brings provides
that variety so grateful to the
human heart. Spring would be
but gloomy weather if we had
nothing else but spring,
Mr.. D. W. Hobbs, of Warsaw,
was in the city last week attending
to business. He says that Dem
ocracy IS getting stronger every
day in the old county of Duplin.
This is indeed good news. In
Duplin county, great many
good men joined the Populist
party when that party was form
ed, but they realize that they
made a mistake, and they are
leaving the party which has en-
abled the Republicans to come
into power again, aud put white
men out of Office aud put negroes
in.
Rec utly a gentleman adver-
tised in the ARGUS that he had a
horse for sale. Among a large
Dumb Der of answers to the adver.
tisement was one rs miles from
Goldsboro, and the horse was
sold and has just been shipped
to the purchaser. This gentleman
had no use for the horse aud
wanted to sell him. The adyer-
tisement in the ARGUS made the
sale. Many people have property,
that they would like to sell, and
there are many people who would
like to buy just such property
but they do not know who has
the property for sale.
The material development of a
city is the be st evidence Of it's
substantial progress and abiding
stability. Fourteen years ago,
when THE DAILY ARGUS began
its work Ia Goldsboro, the oil
mill, the machinery works aud
the rice mill were the only mans
ufacturing establishments in the
town. We had no electric lights.
no Water-Works, no paved streets.
