A thief stole IL bicycleThursday
n'gnt from Mr.. A. J. Gibson.
He was out visiting aud left the
bicycle in the front yard. The
ARGUS has before warned people
ABOUT leaving their bicycles con-
venient to the street at night.
The temptation is too great for
the mar who is walking.
The remains of Miss Patty Bah
bitt, of Newbern, n of the ty-
phoid fever stricken students of
the Greensboro State Normal,
passed through here Thursday on
their way home for interment.
This is the ninth death at the
Normal since the fatal fever broke
out.
Jim Sampson, an Industrious
negro waiter of the Hotel Kennon,
died last week at his home near
the Enterprise Lumber Company.
He was a polite negro Of good
habits. He worked in the dining
con of the hotel during the sum
mer and taught the public school
during the winter. When taken
sick a short while ago he was pre-
pairing to begin a session Of the
public school in the country.
The Newborn Journal
ces the change Of the Newborn
Fair date, from February to
April which IS an important one
both in time, and also in
weather conditions. This some
what radical change of time,
however, seems to meet the ap-
proval of all the patrons and
friends of the Fair Association,
judging from the letters receiv-
ed by Secretary Geo. Green,
who has a number of letters at
hand from various sections, all
express satisfaction at the change
to April.
Nothing is more discouraging
to the feeling heart than TO see
with what persistency men apply
the most beneficial human instltu-
tions to reprehenslble purposes.
Humanity is more or less grega-
rious, not only in a natural in
stinct for companionship, but also
in the fact of its tendency to be
Influenced by example. Thus a
mistake once committed instead of
being always used as a warning to
keep on the right path is too fre-
quently made a justification by
others for going and doing like
wise.
Elsewhere in this issue will be
found a statement of the National
Bank of Goldsboro, which has
just paid an annual dividend of 6
per cent. to its stockholders, and
which is growing daily in volume
of business and the territory of
its patronage, Also the statement
of the Bank of Wayne, which
pays 4 per cent. semi-annual divi-
dends, and whose large surplus, in
addition to it's 8 per cent. annual
dividend, gives assurance of its
stable business. Goldsboro's banks
are the pride Of Goldsboro's bus
mess men ard her progressive cit
liens generally. They show more
effectually and grntifyingly than
anything else could the sterling
business progress of Goldsboro
Indeed, we go forward.
