Herbert, .the young son of Mr..
and Mrs. John Toler. was drown
ed. He was in swimming with sew
eral other boys Of the same age

OF the community.
Senator Ransom was delayed in
his arrival here Monday by an
incendiary fire on his Roanoke
farm, whereby one of his storage
barns was destroyed containing
400 barrels Of corn. This bastard

is his custom in adversely, he
bears it complacently.

The Goldsboro tobacco market
will have their opening sales OF
Wednesday, August 1st, and W
are reliably informed that thu
buyers and warehousemen wer'

of tobacco that the market ha
ever sold. We advise the farmer
as their friend and well-wisher
not to sell their tobacco until the,
have given Goldsboro market
trial, for we know this marke
will not be second to any in tn
East.

Office. John I. Mozingo, candidat

W. r. Allen, was the princip;
speaker, and from this one til
whole conglomeration may /
judged.
