Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1901-03-14

by the accident and there was but
little damage done, but a locomo-
i've and a car or two off the
track will never cease to be q
crowd drawing attraction. A re-
of the ARGUS was on the
scene, also, but then, Of course,
it's our business to go to such
places.
The following is a list of mar.
riage licenses issued in Wayne
county the past week: White
Howell to S4llie Peel,
Nc. G. G.. Smith to Victoria Mer-
rift, John H. Williams to Dora
Dawson. Colored-Alex Nelson
to Cora Brown, Charlie Peyton TO
Laurinia Malay, VIM. B. Smith to
Arena Gray.
The pea crop planted here
abouts is already beginning to
show green in the row and a good
stand is anticipated. The dan
ger of a late frost in blooming
time makes the truckers nervous,
and until that danger is passed
there can be no safe estimate Of
what the yield will be-and there
never is any counting on what
the returns" will be. In fact,
truck farming is a mighty un-
certain investment.
The bill now before the Legis>
lature providing a curfew law
for Goldsboro, provides that the
barrooms shall close at $3.50 at
night and open at sunrise IN the
morning. The other features of
the bill are similar to that intro
duced by Senator Aycock in the
Senate last week and provides
for the strict enforcement Of the
Sunday law and prohibits all
gambling in places where whis-
key is sold under a severe pen
atty.
The Board of election, consist
ing of Messrs. w. T. Harrison,
W. B. Whitfield and Barnes Ay-
cock, met in this city Friday and
appointed registrars and poll
holders for the election of the
Graded School oond question to

Broadhurst; poll holders, Geo.
G. Royal and Jno. G. Bardin.
2ndWard-- Register, WI Creecb
poll holders, W. H. Collins and

We see from the Greenville
aud Kinston papers, that our
young friend aud former towns
man, Mr.. Kleber Denmark, who
for several years has been doing
a successful jewelry business in
Kinston was happily married to
Miss Florence Starkey, at the
home of the brides parents in
Greenville, on the 9th of Feb
ruary. Both Mr.. aud Mrs. Dens
mark have relatives and friends
in this city who wish for them
happiness and prosperity.
The merchants through the
truck belt between this city aud
Wilmington are placing in large
stocks Of merchandise in antici-
patton of a heavy trade when the
truck shipping season opens. The
success of the venture depends
entirely on the crops and the
price of strawberries, which il
Cut short by late frosts or dis
posed of at low prices would
bring financial disaster to the
merchant, producer and laborer
alike.

ton began Monday. This is not a
new registration, but the books
