- o'clock noon at the Bank,
THE A. & N. G. r. r. direct
ors meeting at Raleigh last night
accomplished nothing. The
meeting adjouned until the 18th
inst.
AT the present time the indi-
cations are that we will have a
fine fruit crop this year. But
well, there are whole volumes in
that but.
VALENT1NE's day is not far
away. That used to be the time
for planting gardens, but our gar
deners have learned that it is a
little too soon.
THE law firm of Messrs, Hardy
and Mayerberg of this city, have
dissolved, each pursuing the prac-
tice alone, with offices, as former
ly, in the court house.
THE death of an old colored
nan, Isaac Aycock, occurred at
his home in Little Washington
last week. He was about 80 years
OF age and member of the Bap-
tist church.
THE several lines of merchhaan-
disc which Messrs. Best & Thomp-
sou handle are in' demand the
year around and they are now,
during the ddM season, doing a
satisfactory/bus
NERY little tobacco is coming in
nov, and the farmers are busy get
ting ready for the next planting.
In fact the cured crop is about all
marketed in this section, and the
warehouses here will probably
close at an early day.
Mr.. g. F. Smith, the new pro-
prietor OF the noted Seven
Springs, was in the city to-day.
He is a young man of pleasing
address and evident push and
public spirit. We predict for
this peerless health resort most
successful and satisfactory ex-
perience under his management.
The Board of Aldermen have
in plation extensive i'm.
provements for AISLE street
City Clerk Balm has already or.
dered several varieties of trees
which are to be planted at once
This is the widest street in this
city and it is intended to plan
four rows OF trees-tHo in the
centre and one at each sidewalk
The Newbern Fair, which
comes off on the 28th inst. is ths
next attraction. People from +;
distance attend this mid-wintel
exhibition in our sister ''City O.
EIms." 1t is attractive on &C
count of the novelty of the ex
hlbition-f fish, oyster and game
and then there are the races, too
COULD sugar beets be raised a
profit here ? Many sections 0
the country are growing rich on
Of the sugar-beet industry. Righ
here the Chamber of Commerc
comes in. 1t offers an opportun
ity for a coming together of ou
people for the upbuilding G
Goldsboro and the surroundin
country.

in THE ARGUS the other day sc
cured a note which coiore
man had lost: said to be wort
$1,000. Chief of Police Freema
saw the advertisement aud ap
pretended the finder of the not

much for advertising. A worl
to the wise ought to be suff
cient.
We learn that the farmers
