& N. G. r, r. from Newbern.
They abandoned their craft al

seaworthy ana sold her al auc

We think it would be we'll for
the Board Of County Commission
ers to put a pump in place of 81
bucket at the court house well.
Water from the court house well
is considered the best water In
town. Hence many families use
the water. Among those who 60
for the water is a large number of
women and children, and it is very
difficult for them to draw the
water. It would cost but little TO
make the change, and it would be
a great benefit to the public.

mence preparation for the opening
of the warehouse some time in
August. The stock holders of this
warehouse are fortunate in Sc
curing such experienced men to
launch it for public favor. Those
who bring their patronage here
may rest assured that their inter
ests will be carefully guarded.
Walk along our streets, and
look at the vegetables and fruits
for sale, and you will wonder that
Goldsboro aud Wayne county have
not three times the population.
This is indeed a wonderful coun-
try. Some day it will be a VERT
able garden. Big farms half titled
will give way to small farms in
the highest state of cultivation
smoke will go up from hundreds
of factories, busy mnltitudes will
throng our streets, Golds5oro will
be a big town, every farm in the
good old county of Wayne will
enhance in value, and then we will
have one of the most prosperous
sections of country on the face of
the earth. This is no utopian
theory. We have the natural ad-
vantages, ard men, always strfvr
ing 10 better their condition, will
find out, after a while, that in the
country contiguous to Goldsboro,
bountiful nature holds in her lap
rich rewards for intelligent indus
