Next to the GoLDsBOkO

Carolina TO come ou5 in q strong
editorial urging the nomination
of Hon. G. B. Aycock for Gov
ernor was the Oxford Pubic
Lager, edited by Mr.. John L.
Britt. Editor Britt keeps up the
good work. Ia this weeks paper
he says: s'Itis great pleasure to
the Public Ledger to see that a
large number of counties from
the mountains to the sea are in
structing for the gifted Aycock>
:, Postmaster J. E. Dobson has
been notified that in future money
orders will be paid at any first
class or second class postofice.
For instance, suppose a drummer
was in Norfolk and expected a
money order, but it did not reach
him until he got to Goldsbore, for
merly he could not get the order
cashed, but now he can get it
cashed at the Goldsboro Office, al
) though drawn on the Norfolk Of
flee. This will be a great conven-
fence, being able to have your
money order cashed anywhere.

trees set out, Only recently has
the building commenced. The
i. number of residences already in
!, course of erection indicates that
another populous suburb fo1
Goldsboro is already in sight.
The location is high and healthy
and a desirable place of resi-.
dence.
