these efforts to build up Colds
boro into a big town, and every
farm in the country would be worth
three times the present value.
Other places have accomplished
great things. Is there a single
good reason why we should not?
The farmers are busy burning
tobacco beds, getting ready for
the coming tobacco crop, which
will be the largest in the history
of Eastern Carolina. We have
lots of good farmers in Wayne.
and adjoining counties, aud while
they were totally ignorant a few
years ago of the culture and
curing of tobacco, they are ex-
perts now, and if the prices keep
up they will make a great deal of
money.
Mr. and Mrs. Sol We'll, of this
city, have issued invitations to
the marriage of their daughter
Miss Edna Helena to Mr.. Adolph
Oettinger, OF New York, on
Tuesday afternoon, February %.
at 4:3O o'clock, in Oheb Sholom
Temple, this city. The reception
will be held in the evening from
8 to 9 o'clock at The Kennon.
Plant Rice: 1t is the best
paying crop.
Mr.. II. j. Ham, the preprie-
tor of the popular Hotel Rural
Retreat at Seven Springs, was in
the city to-day on business. Mr..
Ham says that arrangements have
been made between himself and
Mr. G.. F. Smith, the proprietor
Of the Seven Springs property,
whereby guests at either hotel can
have free access to the waters of
all the springs.
WE doubt whether there is
another place in North Carolina
which consumes as many roasted
peanuts as does Goldsboro. Some
like them hot, some like them
cola. but whether hot Or cold
they are greatly sought after.
The late Bishop Lyman thought
that peanuts r a panacea in
deed. In fact, he thought that
they r a positive cure for in.
somnia. We notice that a good
many of our people get up late.
THE Board of county commits
sioners have authorized Mr.. E. A.
Steavens, a member of the board,
to confer with our townsman Mr..
L. D. Giddens with a view
to erecting a town clock in
the Court House. It is very
much to be desired that this
conference will result in the
erection Of the clock. Such a
convenience has long been need
ed and it will add another city
feature.
Plant Rice: 1t pays better
than any ether crop.
FROM all sections come the
report that the people are
sick of fusion. There is one thing
the white people r determined
to do, and that is to have the
white people rule North Carroll
ma. In the coming campaign the
line is going to be drawn, and
white men will have to go with
white men or they will have to
go with the niggers, This is the
plain truth. But just as certain
as night follows day the white
men are going to rule North
Carolina.
THE progress towards music
making that has been made by
the Goljsboro Cornet Band has
surprised Prof. Ports, the eff
Gent instructor who has charge
of the band. Next Friday night
will complete his first engage
ment of one month, and he says
it is the first time during his long
experience with new bands that
he has ever been able to give
eight pieces of music during the
first month. This speaks we'll
for the music ability of the young
men who have enlisted in the or
ganization and is verifying the
claim of the ARGUS that Colds
| boro had the talent.
A young a in Lowell, Mass.
troubled for years with a constant sue
cession of boils on his neck. was COM
ptetely cured by taking only three
bottles of Ayers Sarsaparilla. Another
result of the treatment was greatly i'm
proved digestion with increased avoir-
dupois.
Perhaps Senator Quay played
the wrong card when he mace
Penrose instead OF Wanamaker
his colleague.
