ing it to rear and ipjure her. the
urv returned a verdict last week
for $4,000 IN favor of the plain
tiff. A motion to set aside the

One of the happy events of
the season, in which all Of our
people are Interested, is the
coming marriage Of Mr.. Leslie
We'll and Miss Hilda Einstein,
which will be solemnizad ia the
Ten pie Of Oneb Sholem on the
evening of February IA. Cards
have been issued to the marriage
and TO the reception following,
from $50 to $50, at the rests
dence of Mr.. and Mrs, Sol We'll.
Mr.. r. A. Creech, the we'll
known and popular Jeweler, who
is among the most progressive Of
Goldsboro's young bushes men,
and who has abiding faith in the
present and future Of our city,
has Just purchased through Mr..
Ed. L.. EdmundsoD, the Real Es-
tate "HustIer.' the desirable
property opposite his hoyhood
home, over on the beautiful hills
of Eastern Goldsooro.
The marriage of M. j. M.
Mitchell to Mss Cora G. Dali C
Cured last week at the home of
the brides parents, Reward Mrs.
J. r. Dali, in Eastern Goldsboro.
The groom is a prosperous Young
farmer and lives a few miles out
OF Goldsboro in the country,
where he took his bride, who is a
popular young lady with a num-
Der of friends whose best wishes
go with her for a long and happy
welded life.
Local buyers were anxious for
the few bales of cotton that found
their way here last Saturday.
During the midday hours the
bidding was very spirited and the
farmer was the beneficiary. Messrs.
Best & Thompson inaugurated the
price of 8 cents, which was paid
for several lots by other buyers
also. There has been a recent adj
vance in the price, but not enough
to justify the high price of 8
cents in Goldsboro.
MI. J. Robert Jordan was q
visitor at the meeting of the
Knights of Pythiss last Friday.
He is grand lecturer for the State
at large and also an impersona-
tor of modern comedies, having
visited Goldsboro and RECALLED
the Knights with selections from
Shakespeare. He will return to
Goldsboro at an early date,
which will be announced later.
and deliver his latest production,
"Dollars and Sense, or a Gilded
Foul" in the Odd Fellows Hall,
to which the public will be invit-
ed. A small admission will be
charged, AM the proceeds from
the entertainment will be devot-
ed to the use Of the Knights of
Pythias brass band.
By degrees our own people are
beginning to realize that Colds
boro is a real city-with up-to-
date city features, and with over
eight thousand population. This
realization is evidenced in &c
more substantial way than 10 the
city-like big advertisements with
which the ARGUS is favored. L
all our merchants would only
wake up 10 a sense of their duty
to the ARGUS and to themselves,
we could soon give Goldsbore
full press dispatches every day =
and then Goldsboro would, indeed
be right up at the head of the pro.
cession. That our ~wide-awake bus.
mess men have failed to put the
ARGUS in a position to do this,
long ago, is passing strange, but
certainly it is not due to the fac
uhet the ARGUS has at any time
failed in it's duty to GOldsbOro.
