There were only two marriage
licenses issued in Wayne county
since the list was published in the
ARGUS one week ago to-day, and
they were both for white couples
as follows: Geo. W. Garter to
Addie L. Carter, and H.. j. Vail
to Stella Andrews,
The death of Mrs. Nathan
Hinson occurred late Saturday
afternoon at her home in East
Goldsdoro. She had been an in
valid tor some time and her
death, which brought deep sor-
row upon her husband and chill
dren, was not unexpected. She
bore her afh ction with Christian
tortitude and has gone to reap
the rich reward of the faithful.
About $4,000 has already been
subscribed by the leading busis
ness men of Goldsboro for the
building of a steamboat to plough
the waters of Neuse river be>
tween this city aud Newborn
Mr. Frank L. Castex is at the
head Of the enterprise and his
energy and perseverance will
ultimately bring success to the
undertaking. The realization Of
the scheme means much for
Goldsboro, as every man in
Goldsboro who has freight to
pay will readily see.
The Goldshoro delegation who
went down to Morehead City last
Saturday night to attend the open
ing ball ard reception at the At
lantic Hotel have returned and
speak in high terms of the occa-
sion and also of the superb man.
agement of that famous summer
resort. They report a fine breeze
from the South and say that the
fishing and sailing is delightful.
The indications are now that the
hotel will have prosperous season
this year. Aside from the natural
surroundings, which make it the
most desirable place in the State
to spend the hot summer days,
the popularity of the managers,
who are men of high reputation,
will draw a heavy patronage, and
altogether it is expected that the
present season will eclipse all
former records of the Atlantic.
The wreck of a freight train on
the A. & N. G. r. r., Saturday
morning, below Kinston, notice of
which was made in Saturdays at
ternoon ARGUS, was due to the
negligence of the section master,
who opened the switch to run his
handcar on the siding and failed
to adjust the switch, leaving the
main track open. OF course that
section master will "walk-the-
plank" 1t is we'll that the freight
train was the one to get wrecked,
for doubtless many lives would
have been sacrificed had it been the
passenger train. The officials of
the road deserve commentator
for the dispatch with which they
cleared their track and opened up
traffic again, in a few hours.
The ARGUS learns with regret
of the assignment Of MI. Jno. r.
Smith, of Mt. Oliye, to Attorney
A. S. Grady, of that place. The
big fire last spring a year ago
destroyed several thousand dol
lars worth of goods for Mr.,
Smith. His store and stock OF
goods was a total loss. as he car
ried no insurance, the rate at thai
time bring so high that he could
not afford it. Knowing him as we
do the ARGUS feels certain that
the crash was inevitable. If ii
had been within the power OF
human effort to avoid the crisis,
he above all men would have
done SO. He is possessed with in
domitable energy. is popular in
the community, and has enjoyed
the confidence and esteem Of q
host of friends, all of whom will
regret to learn of his misfortune,
and who would, perhaps, have
helped him to stem the tide of his
adversely had he only sought
their assistance. But business
failures come often and to the
best of meu. We hope Mr.. Smith
will soon adjust his liabilities
and get under way again. Mt.
Olive cannot afford to lose his
energy and pluck, that have done
so much for the progress of thai
now prosperous county town.
