The Board of Aldermen have

A short time ago, the ARGUS
spoke of the board of Aldermen
trying to get deep water for the
city. We arc confident this can be
done. Much more is known about
boring wells than when the at
tempt was made on the street at
Odd Fellows corner. There IS a
deep well at the Eastern Hospital
for the colored insane, and we Pre-
reliably informed that the health
of the Institution has improved
marvelously since they have had a
supply of pure, cool drinking
water. There is no water in the
world like the water that comes
directly from the ground. No
other water has that satisfying,
life giving taste as does the water
fresh from the earth. Gentlemen,
of the Board of Aldermen, try to
give Goldshoro an abundant sup
ply of good water. We believe il
can be done. It. worth the trial.

for children to visit in the life
time of their grand parents. the

a boy. Father and sons and Crane
sons. Three generations bound by
the ties of blood and affection.
