THE BANK.

Elsewhere N this issue we pub
lish a statement of the National
Bank of Goldsboro, under the call
of the Comptroller of the Cur.
rency; and we invite the attention
of the public to it with pride. It
is a showing that cannot fail of
qualification to the promoters and
directors of this excellent institu-
ton, and it reflects the highest
credit upon the sagacity and push
of its management.
But over and above all else, it
proves that Goldsboro is a bust
ness centre of wholesome business
integrity, and that it possesses the
confidence and good will of the
business world.
VIZ doubt If there is a bank
anywhere else in the country that
can show a progress in the first
four years of it's history equal to
that of the National Bank of
Goldsboro.

MRS L I'D #. DAWSON

Passed Away at the Home of Her Daugh-
ter in This City Last Night.
Daily Argus, Monday Feb. 10th.
Last night just before the mid
night hour, surrounded by sor-
rowing loved ones, the spirit of
Mrs. Huldah T.. Dawson depart
ed from it's tenement of clay and
winged it's way to the celestial
city. A long illness patiently
borne preceded the final ending
of a long life we'll worthy of en-
ulation. For the past several days
the loyed ones who had watched
at her bedside could see that the
shadows were perceptibly legth-
ening-the light of a beautiful
life was growing dim with each
succeeding day and while the
final end was not unexpected, yet
it has caused a deep pail to fall
over the household, and hearts
are bleeding to-day with a sors
row too sacred for human effort
to assuage.
The deceased was the widow of
the late Thomas Dawson, of Le-
noir county, who preceded her to
the tomb years ago. She was 76
years of age and leaves an imme-
date family of eight sons and
one daughter, besides a large
concourse of relatives and friends
to mourn her loss. She died at the
home of her daughter Mrs. John
Slaughter, where the funeral
was held this afternoon, con-
Quoted by Elder P. D. Gold of
the Primitive Baptist church, of
which she was an exemplary
member. The remains, accom-
panied by several members of
the family, will be taken to Las
Grange by rail tomorrow morn

band in the old family burying

government that wrongs any

The tariff act of 1894 levied
high duties upon wines and liq-

a luxury, but it provided in diss
tinct terms that the government
should rebate the tax on alco-
hol to all importers who used it
