Folks will go to law, sometimes
zancut very small matters, TOO.
Monday a case was tried in the
Superior Court. on appeal from 3
magistrates court, where only
sixty-seven and a BALI cents were
involved. 1t vas ever thus, and
We suppose ever will be. Well, il
is an i'll wind that blows good to
nobody. Such things do the law
.yers no harm.
The ARGUS some days ago was
Informed, and SO stated, that DIR.
y. E. Powell, of Castoria, Greene
county, had purchased a home in
Goldsboro and would soon locate
here for the practice of his pro
fession. DR.. Powell tells us that
this is a mistake. He says he is
well pleased with Goldsboro, and
may locate here at some future
day, but not at present, that the
property in question was pur-
chased purely for an investment.
The vacation days are over
and Prof. Foust, the excellent
superintendent of schools and
his corps of teachers are at work
again. The superintendent and his
teachers need, yea, they must
have the cordial support and CO.
operation of parents in order to
do tor the children just what they
ought to do. The children of to-
day axe Ile men and women Of
to-norxow. Many parents in the
hurry and rush of business neg
leet tier children, only to wake
up some morning to find that
habits have. been formed which
cannot be corrected, that the lit
tie children have grown almost
TO manhood and womanhood.
As We see graded school chill
dren on their way to school,
among them many little tots only
six years old, a feeling OF pity
steals into the heart that at such
an early age these little ones-have
begun the. battle of life, for going
to school is just what that means.
In our humble opinion, no child
al ,ould start to school before
sew m, and unless strong and ro-
bust not earlier than eight years
of aoe. It is all very pleasant for
Wiiie ct, , know lots" at six, and
for little 8. isle to be the wonder
and pride NJ her. parents and
friends. but What do all these
