this section are not making prep
arations to plant near as much
cotton this year as heretofore and
they are not buying fertilizers, in
large quantities, The tobacco
and rice crops will be greatly en-
1arged, which will no doubt yield
more clear money to the planter.
AMONG the city features that
Goidsboro must have during the
present year is a sewerage sys>
TEN. This must come if some
others have to wait. It is not
needed for any special style or
superficial adormeut, but it is a
convenience that we cannot do
without and is necessary to pres
serve the health OF our people.
MEssRs. Edgerton & HoIIoweIl,
the popular proprietors of the
commodious brick stables adioin-
ing the ARGUS Office, have dis
posed of large number of fine
mules and horses for the past few
days, and they still have on hand
number of desirable farm animals
which they are offering at low
figures.
The business of Messrs. Best &
Thompson is increasing so rapidly
that they have again employed Mr..
Granger Kornegay, whom they
put off the 1st of Januray, because
they thought they would not need
him this year 1t is with pleasure
that the ARGUS notes his return
and necessity for such a step
byfhe firm.
THE death of the one-armed
colored man Wiley Hudson, who
was mentioned in these columns
yesterday as going to the county
home with the ravages of con-
sumption upon him, occurred last
night. He had been confined to
his uncomfortable home in Little
Washington for some time with
out attention before his case was
brought to the notice of the au
thorities.-Daily Argus, Feb. 10.
In the mandamus proceedings
instituted by Mr.. J. A. Mathis
against the board Of county COM
missioners of Duplin county. be-
fore Judge Adams, at chambers
in Clinton Thursday his honor
decided that the action of said
board in refusing license to re-
tail liquors in Magnolia was val
id, and he refused mandamus.
Daplin county now has no IL
censed saloon, Magnolia having
the only one in the county for
the pas: three or four years.
A ROMANTIC marriage occurred
Thursday at the home of Rev. NJ.

DR.. '.Fox" Person, from near
Fremont, was visiting Mrs. Sam
Bridgers, in this city, and Thurs
day, Mr.. Thomas Person, of Will

Bridgers to take Miss Person to
ride. The couple drove to the resi-

performed the marriage cere-
mony and the happy pair left by
private conveyance for the
groom's home in Wilson. The
young lady is accomplished and
quite popular among the people
of her neighborhood, who wish
for them both happiness always.
THE sentiment for more fac.
tories for Goldsboro is growing
The factories we have are prosper.
ous-eVery one of them, and con.
stantly adding to their capacity
We do not know a factory of any
description in Goldsboro that is
not worked right up to it's fulles
capacity. The Wayne Cottor
Mill, the latest of our variety OF
manufacturing enterprises, aftel

pacity, with the very latest i'm
proved machinery throughout, af
ter adding one of the most power
ful of engines to its magnifcen

lords more comforts and happi
