and that faith has never wavered
in the fifteen years of the life of
the ARGUS. Our people, too, have
faith in our beautiful city, and
the present growth and prosperity
gladdens the hearts of all.

Real estate transactions were
heavy Friday through the agency
of Mr.. E. l.. Edmundson, the
Hustler" Among the number
made was the purchase by Mr.
r. B. Edmundson of the remain
ing interest in the farm of DR..
J. S. Bizzell near the city. Mr.N.
W. Boyette also purchased a pnr-

Work is being pushed upon the
construction of the Great Eastern
Railroad in eastern North Carroll
ma, which is to be 100 miles long,
traversing a fertile country and
opening it to deep water transpor-

The drug store of M. E. Rob
inson & Bro has taken a new de-
parture in the candy line. They
have employed Mr.. J. O. Royal,
who is an expert at taffyr making,

for sale hereafter. MI. Royal
made taffy for himself for several
years and the public know just
| what he can do along that line.
The farmers should act with
great prudence in enlargj1g their
farms the coming year. Because
cotton is high this year does not
mean that the good price will con-
tinue. There is great danger o.
the farmers overreaching them
selves. Let them not be dazed by
the prosperous times and go head
long into debt for mules and fer
tilizers. The risk is too great.
, Goldsboro should own her owl
, water works. There is no doub
, about that. It would mean cheape
water, and that would mean run
ming water in more of the home
t of our people. Comfortable, al
= tractive homes make happier pee
e pie and better citizens. Let a ma
own a home, humble though it b'
!. and that man feels a deeper inter
: est in the community-and the1
is better citizenship.
