G~oldsboro Fire Co., No. 1,
made a splendid run at Charlotte

wards. He entered the Medical
department of our State Univer-
sity several years ago; thence
he went to the College of Ply
slcians and Surgeons of Balti-
more, where his application and
progress soon placed him among
the recognized leading students.
He graduated with honors and

The excursion season is draw
ing near and Messrs. Hatch Bros.

progressive white excursion man

a trip to Wilmington and Ocean
View Beach from this city on

to the Beach is only $1.25. A
record of ten years as successful
managers in the excursion bust

these popular gentlemen need.

know the wants of the public in
this regard and they + tireless
