The State Medical Society
held it's annual session this
week in Charlotte, and that
body unanimously elected DR.. ".
II. Il. Cobo to succeed DR.. Bur-
bank as a member Of the Boad Of
Medical Examiners. DR.. Bur-
bank having resigned Colds
boro appreciates the honor SO
worthily bestowed upon our
tOWnsman,
Dr.. P. G. Hutton went away
from Goldsboro as Fifth Ser
geant of the Goldsboro Rifles.
but before remaining one day at
Camp Grimes he was promoted
to the position of surgeon in the
camp hospital. This is a just
recognition CT his eminent quail
itications and is asource of graft
fcation to his hosts of friends in
this city.
During the wind andrain storm
yesterday afternoon several
shade trees were blown down in
different parts of the city. One
Of the large elms was blown
down at the Odd Fellows cor
ner and part Of the tin roofing
was blown off the Southern Rail-
way freight depot. A barn was
blown down ona Mr. J.. W.
Bryan,s plantation near the city

1ored man was killed.
The Democratic primaries will

places throughout the county on

The news has reacE ed this city
of the death Of Deputy Collector
r. G.. Hill, at his home at Fields,
Lenoir county, He was a promi-
nent and highly respected citizen
in his community and has num-
Der of friends throughout his ter
ritory who will sympathize with
his bereaved family. Mr.. Hill
was appointed deputy collector un-
der Hon. F. M. Simmons, and his
faithful service had caused his re-
tention under the present admin
istration.
The white-winged messenger
of death visited the home of MIR.
and Mrs. W. D. Creech Wednes-
day afternoon and took from the
loving arms of it's parents their
infant son Walter, the idol and
joy of the household, and with
rapturous transport bore it's spot
less spirit to the Celestial city,
The friends of the fond parents
share their deep sorrow, which
is too sacred fer human effort to
assuage and the only consolation
that can be offored is in the words
of our loving Saviour who said:
''Suffer little children to come
unto me-"
Magicians claim that the hand
is quicker than the.eye. Whether
this is true or not we do not care
to argue. but we do know that
the handiwork on the building OF
the e. u. & r. Co. IN front of the
ARGUS Office is very deceptive,
If We had not been near by and
locking at the building when il
was constructed We should say
that it was made of brick, and
even with this knowledge before
us when we glance that way the
appearance of a brick building
is so complete we find ourselves
admiring the handsome brick
structure. 1t must be brick, any
way, for it certainly looks like
it.
Goldsooro is now in telephone
communication with Raleigh, the
first conversation, between the
two cities having been held ovel
the wires last Saturday between
Mr.. Josephus Daniels, editor oi
the News and Observer, and the
editor of The ARGUS. Con
gratulations were interchanged
and the former reported the
Gozdsboro RtHes well and hearty
and zone OF the finest. Ths
