FILMING SQUADRON
The following poem on the flying

tCol) Times:
When the Spanish nation topples
And its ruins rise in smoke
When they seek to sweep the ocean
All along the Cuban shore;
When they strip themselves: FOR ac-

Aud the eyes of nations stare,
You can bet the Flying Squadron
And its fighters
Will
BE
When the Woe Of wars upon us. .
When destroycrs plough the sea,
When MORO Castle crumbles
And the Cuban flag is free,
When the flash and lame OF battle
Tints the balmy Southern AR,
You can bet the Flying Squadron
And its fighters
Win ....N ..
Be
There.
When the Spanish nation topics
ana us ruins raise IN smoke,
When the starving beggar subjects
Cast away a cruel yoke,
When the sun OF freedom penetrates
The cloud of Cubas care,
You can bet the Flying Squadron
And its fighters
Win
... Be ...
When the noise OF battle echoes
In the annals of the past.
When the flag of poor old Cuba
Is a. freeman's flag at last,
When the dove of peace is monarch,
When the sword becomes share,
Even then our Flying Squadron
And its fighters

DUGHI IN GOLDSBORO.

Speaking of the reception given Friday
night by Miss Matte Lee, of Goldsboro,
in honor of her guests, Miss Fan Nc
Alden, of Charlotte and Miss Mamie
Cannon, of Concord, the Argus says:
Supper was served in the spacious
dining room, with all its elegant APP
pointments. The table was a thing of
beauty being tastefully ornamented
with festoons Of graceful smilax, carna-
tions and ribbons to match in color the
crimson of the flowers. The refresh
ments were dainty and delicious, and the
ices were arranged TO represent roses,
hearts and strawberries, that the color
scheme might be complete. The re-
freshments and decorations were fur
nished by Raleigh's caterer, Mr.. A.
Dughi, who is an artist in his work"

1898 completeness. There are good
Wheels here at a less price, but there are
no better Wheels of the Chain Model
here or else7T,;1h-ere ct any price.
