hose Of our citizens who are
looking for a rare musical feast
should not fail to attend the I'M
.qualled performance to be given
on tuesday, February 9th, at the
Messenger Opera House. The

ity and Manager Griffin is to be
Congratulated upon his enterprise
in securing it for Goldsboro.
There is, of course, considerable
risk assumed in the n
gagement, but we hope that our
citizens will demonstrate their
appreciation of this unprecedent-
ed event; it being an opportunity
which will probably not be offered
again for years.
The case of j. r. Short against
r. Z. Yelverton to recover pay for
guano which the former claims to
have sold to a tenant of the latter,
for which the latter became re-
sponsible, came up for a hearing
in the Superior court here this
week. After being out several
hours yesterday and all of last
the jury reached a verdict
this morning in favor of the
plaintiff Mr.. Short. The amount
involved in the guano transaction
was originally 800. The case
has been on the civil docket of
this county for some time and
the amount Of costs nov foot up
in the neighborhood of 800, and
the end is not yet, for Mr.. yell
verton has taken an appeal for
the second time to the Supreme

Just as his many friends ex-
pected he would be, Jack Gulick,
who left Goldsboro for the Phil
1ppines as a Lieutenant in Co. A.
47th u, s.. Volunteers, has been
promoted to Captain Of that COM
pany in recognition of his militia
ry genius and as a fitting testimo-
NAL to his cool, brave moral
courage. While his many friends
here will be highly gratified at
the news, they will not be sur
prised in the least. 1t is nothing
more than they expected when
Jack left here. The only thing that
will prevent him from further
promotion will be the lack of an
opportunity to distinguish himself.
He has the bearing and ability of
a soldier-it is the goal for which
he is striving-it has been the
ideal dream of his boyhoed-and
his patriotic ambition has been
gratified by this recent advance
ment.
