The first open cotton boil of
the season was laid on our table
W dn, lay from the farm cf GU"
townsman Mr. E. W. Cox; who

The death Of Mr.. Wiley Davis,
who came here with his family
from Johnston county to work IL
The cotton factory, occurred las
week of pneumonia. He leaves a
wife ana niue children, His res
mains were taken to Johnston to-
day for burial.
At the regular meeting of the
Justices of the Peace recently in
Craven county, thirty five answer
ed to roll call and twenty nine OF
these were negroes. This is simp-
ly one county. This condition
exists all over Eastern North Car
olinina-due to the late fusion
Legislature, of odious memory.
The ARGUS again has the pleas
ure of noting the recognition and
advance of Goldsboro talent. This
time it is our young friend and
townsman Mr.. Willis j. Brogden,
who recently distinguished himself
at the State University. He has
been selected by Mi. Morson to
assist him in his noted and pros
porous school for young men in
Raleigh.
We regret exceedingly to
chronicle the death of Mr.. Ban.
Whitley, which occurred last
Thursday, Of fever,at his home in
New Hope township. He was q
most eslimanle young man, aboui
25 years of age; son OF Mr.. Jesse
Whitley OF this city and brother
of Mr., John Whitley at Bizzel
Bros. dry goods store. He leaves
a young wife, who is Nso pros
trated with fever.
A young colored man, who ev.
identity knew his game, called a.
Mai. Hurtt's residence THURSDAY
morning and told the maid that
Mai. Hurtt said send his valise
by him. The mau doubtless knew
that Mrs. HURT was absent from
the city, and that the Major
would not be home till evening
but did not know that the Majol
has no valise. He was told this a
the home, and his little gam
was suspected, but be made Of
before he could be identified.
Last night the Goldsboro Bak
cry was broken into and a numbe
of cakes and some candy was stol
en. The money drawer wa
broken open, but, fortunately, tn
cash had been locked up in tn
safe by Mr.. Barnes before closin!

informed the police, and in an in
credibly brief space of time the
