A banquet was rendered Internal

pure and simple, unembellished
with profanity. Most employers
do not want that kind of assistants
behind their counters or in their
Offices. The habit is begun by boys
because they think it manly, and
they keep at it until it becomes so
fixed upon them that they do it Tin
consciously. Others do it because
they think it is smart" and seem
either not to know or not to care
that to most people it is very often
sive. Sermons on the immortality of
swearing do not appear to do much
good, because they do not reach the
ears of the boys for whom they are
intended, but they do reach the
ears of parents who should see that
their sons get the benefit of them.
Did you ever go to a concert and
have the misfortune to sit near
couple who talked all the evening
so loud as to disturb every body
near themP Of course you have.
We all have. Such people are to
be found in every community. Not
being able to appreciate good music
themselves, they prevent others
from enjoying it, by their senseless
chatter. When pay for a seat at an
entertainment, pay only for the
privilege of hearing and seeing it. 1
do not pay to hear young fellow
talk to his girl just behind me, nor
does that fellow pay for the privilege
of annoying me by his talking.
This happened last Monday even
ing at the Mozart Symphony Con-
cert at the Normal. A young man,
who is old enough to know better,
persisted in conversing aloud with
the girl who sat next to him, despite
the glances of indignation that were
cast upon him by all those near
him. Now that their attention is
called to the matter, those who in
dulge in the practice, whether they
are students or "townies," will no
doubt cease it.

SAD DEATH.

1t was a few minutes after eight
o'clock Monday night, when the
spirit of Mabel, the eleven year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. James D.
Shaffer, took its flight to the great
beyond. She was a bright child
and greatly admired by all who
Knew her. She had been sick for
several months, during which time
her parents watched her with the
greatest care. The death is indeed
a sad one. The funeral will take
place from the house on Iron Street
this afternoon at three o'clock and
will be conducted by Rev. G. w.
Hemingway of the Presbyterian
Church. Interment will be made in
Rosemont Cemetery.

These lectures will be given under
the auspices of St. Pauls Episcopal
Church, and the Opera House will be
used because the Parish House is too
small to hold paying audiences at the
low prices of admission. The hall
has been rented for the week, out
right.
Twelve hundred people attended a
similar entertainment in the M. E..

a silver collection at the door. The
admission to these is virtually silver

TIE ORARy LECTURES.

The series of Illustrated Travel
Talks to be given by DR.. and Mrs.
Crary, in the Opera House every even
ing during the week beginning Mon
day, February 9TH, includes Paris and
the Alps !; England, Scotland and Ire
land; Italy and Rome From Ocean
to Ocean Yosemite and the Yellow
stone; The Sunny South and Cuba.
Each tour is illustrated with $50
colored views 90 feet square. The
Doctor and his wife are enthusiasts
in the work, and have spent thirteen
years in travel, and perfecting their
views.
PRESS NOTICES.
Here is what some of the news
papers have said about them:
Mrs. Crary's talks would have been
delightful without the views, and the
illustrations would have been a rare
treat if given in perfect silence, but
the combination came near to per-
fection.-Urbana, (O.) Tines Citizen
Her views are remarkable. They
are twenty feet square and as bright
as day.-Flndley (O.) Republican,
Those who saw "Italy and Rome"
last night, most heartily voiced their
expression of admiration, and those
who have visited the old world say
the scenes are masterpieces OF repro
duction.-Danville, Qlls.) MeaOs.
She shows hundreds of the cleanest
cut views ever projected in this city.
Her descriptions are very interesting,
and her delivery so distinct that every
word is plainly heard in all parts of
the house.-Marion, CO., Star. Il
The lectures have been largely at
tended and the descriptions and views
highly interesting.-CMfagO Daily
.Sn1.
The Crary's are endorsed by many
prominent people, including Gen. Lew
Wallace, author of Ben Hur; J. M.
Sturtevant, D. D, of Galesburg, Ill. (;
J. c. Hartzler, Superintendent of
Public Instruction of Ohio, and by
pastors of churches of every denomina-
tion. Here is what two of them say {:

THEY'RE TRYING THE ROAD.

Taylor Britain, Kenneth Fur
man and William Byrum, three
young boys of town, aged about
thirteen or fourteen, went to the
livery stable of A. c. Hidlay, Sat
urday afternoon, and hired a horse
and rig and left town. Young Fur
man, Mr.. Hidlay says, told him that
he was getting the rig for his father
who wanted to drive to Berwick.
1t appears, however, that the elder
Furman knew nothing at all of it,
and, as soon as he was informed,
at once started to look the matter
up. Nobody saw the youngsters
leave, and it was a very difficult
matter to find out in what direction
they went.
Nothing further was heard of
them until Monday afternoon, when
it was learned that they had stopped
in Berwick, where they tried to dis
pose of the outfit for 500. Their
effort to sell proved fruitless as they
could find no buyer. After driving
around the town for some time they
decided to leave the horse at Ber-
wick and start out on foot. They
left there Monday some time and
have not been heard from since.
Mr.. Furman went up on Monday
and brought the horse and buggy
home.
1t is claimed that the three boys
are members of some sort of club,
Of which one of them in the Treas
urer. They held a meeting Friday
night, at which few dollars were
raised and handed over to the
Treasurer, and it is thought that
they started out to have good time
with the funds.
Since the above was written it has
been learned that they spent Satur-
day night at or near Register. They
drove to Berwick on Monday, where
the horse and buggy was taken away
from them. From here it appears
they crossed the river to Nescopeck.
Young Byrun returned home on
Tuesday. His companions he said
told him they were going to Phila-
delphia.

The Mozart Symphony Concert at
the Normal last Monday night was a
rare musical treat. Nearly every seat
in the hall was occupied. The music
was of high order and was skillfully
executed. Miss Marie Gumaer has a
contralto voice of very low range, and
she was repeatedly encored. The
solos on the Viola d. Amour, the
Viol da gambia, the Alpine echo horn,
and the Roman Triumphal trumpet
were novelties, and were greatly
enjoyed.

to Col. and Mrs. Crawford, and

The announcement in a recent
issue of your excellent paper in
regard to the appropriation of
$50 700 for the purpose of builds
ing another wing 10 the Eastern
Asylum, &c, has created consid-
cradle comment among the tax
payers Of this section, and meets
with their universal disapproval.
AS for US, we do not think the
next legislature could do a more
unwise thing for the future of
the party. After gaining the vics

the ingratitude of the colored

The progress of our city in lite
erary culture and artistic taste is
best evidenced by the supurb
line of books and art works now
on display at the Goldsboro
Book Store, embodying a galaxy
too numerous and varied TO men,
ton, but rejecting the highest
credit upon the public spirit of
MIR. Frank M. Miller, the prog
ressive young proprietor, in CIV
ing to the people of this commu-
nifty so fine a stock IN his line.
The ARGUS is proud of Colds
boro-of course we are-and we
are especially proud of it as a
great Railroad centre; but our
pride in this regard receives a
daily set back when that
'smeasley," delapidated looking
'sshanty car" rolls IN off the
''Smithield Branch" If the W.
& W. r. r. wants to make the
ARGUS a Christmas present, we
would thank them for a new-or
at least a decent passenger
coach for their Smithfeld
Branch.
His many friends here were glad
to see in the city to-day Mr., Isham
R. Faison, of Faison Depot, who
met with a severe accident to his
foot here, by a falling scaffold, on
the occasion of the great Demo-
cratic rally just prior to the cleo
ton. The old gentleman is still
on crutches, but he says he is i'm
proving every day and is still re-
Ijoicing over the great Democratic
victory.
Mrs. Capt. T. H. Balm is an
indefatigsble worker in whatever
she undertakes. Notwithstanding
the fact that in the eleventh hour
it seemed impossible to the ARGUS
to get off the Christmas box to the
GoIdsboro Rifles in Cuba, sht
only worked the harder and toeday
the box went off on time, ladenee
with substantials and delicacie'
sufficient to make an ample teas
for the entire company.
