The returned soldier BOYS are
still the centre of attraction, and
their tales of experience r
highly interesting and some of
them amusing in the extreme.

Carrow, whose critical illness for
some lays revious had been noted
in these columns, occurred at noon
yesterday, at the residences of Mrs.
B. M. Privett, where she boarded.
Mr.. N. G.. Price, his many
friends and patrons will regret
to know, is confined to his home

goods, and he will at once inaus
gurate a special sale at his store
on East Centre street in which
he proposes to still maintain his
reputation as the champion of
low prlces."
The hosts of friends of Capt.
J. w. Lamb sympathize with him
deeply in the great sorrow that
has come to him in the death Of
his sister, Mrs. Ella D.. Boney,
which occurred at her home IN
Wallace early Sunday morning.
She was a most estimable woman
and greatly beloved by all who
knew her, and her death is sim
cerely mourned.

NEW ENTERPRISE,
ROBBINS MANUFACTURING
COMPANY.
For the Manufacture of Cotton Cloth and
Yarns-GoIdsboro Destined to be a
Great Manufacturing Town.

The ARGUS again hears glad
tidings to our people. Yes. glad
tidings to the white laboripg
classes. whose aver willing hands
are ready to make an honest liv~
ing, and aid in the development
of cur resources. We have a
home-loving people-a people
who believe the sun shines a little
brighter and the bree yes are more
balmy at Goldsboro than any,
where else ia the wide, wide
world-and they ire about right.
too.
We rejoice. moreover, that ours
are a home.loving people. The
love of home is the hope of the
nation. Sweet home How these
words thrill our .hearts-and
cause US to wish that every de-
serving nan in all this land could
sit down under his own vine and
fig tree-i in a home of his own.
Then each one would feel a
deep interest in the welfare of
the community, the enactment of
good laws. the preservation of
law and order, and the develop
ment and growth of all institu-
tions,
Plenty of factories will bring
about this result as, nothing else
will. This is self.evident.
But it is with peculiar pride
that the ARGUS records the for
nation of the new company for
the manufacture Of Cotton Cloth
and Yarns. The stockholders
are: Messrs. E. b. Borden, H,
We'll & Bros, Charles Dewey. II.
& M. L. Lee, A. Borden, T. K.
Borden, F. L. Robbins, J. L
Borden. G. G, Royal, E, B Bor-
den, Jr.. N. Schwab, and Murray
Borden. Every one of these
stockholders is a Goidsboro man,
and every dollar invested in the
stock is Goldsboro money.
Moreover, this is true of every
other manufacturing establish
ment in Goldsboro.
Our own people have faith in
Goldsboro, and they show their
faith by their works.
But there is a limit to our home
capital, and there are millions OF
dollars in the North and West ly.
ing idle, awaiting investment.
Other places over the South are
securing this money by getting
the owners to invest in manufac.
turing establishments. Other
cities and towns which are secur.
ing these rich prizes, however.

Commerce-which are ever or

Let it be so with Goldsboro,

Let these capitalists visit Gu.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUF OF FIGs, manufactured " the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the valuerof obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to h
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the n perfect strengthening laxa-
Give, cleansing the system effectually,
dispeHing celdsJ headaches and feyers
gently yet promptly and enabling n
to overcome habitua1 constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to he
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

governor OF Paris has the power to
override the decision that there is no

was acquitted because it was proved
that he acted under direct orders from
General Gonse and De Boisdeffre,
against whom several disciplinary
