self. wife and two daughters. Mr..
@. 3. Edwards resigned as secre-
tary and treasurer End Mr.. c. G..
smith, of this city was elected to
that position and was required to
give a bond of S., 600. Miss Mag,
gle McLester. recently of Rex
Hospital in Raleigh, was elected
Marion at a salary of $50 per
month with board and washing.
The ARGUS congratulates right
heartily the Goldsboro base ball
club on its victory over the New
bern club in last Friday's contest
in that city; and especially do we
feel proud of the victory, for we
know how we'll the Newbern boys
"play ball." They are gamey
players, and therefore Goldeboro
has reason to feel especially graft
fed at our boys success.
Why not an enclosed base ball
park for Gollsbort? 1t would
soon pay for itself, and would
draw contesting clubs here to play
on neutral ground -especially in
finally deciding games. Lots have
an enclosed base bill park. We
have a fine location out on Park
Avenue, and if u public spirit
ed citizens would all "chip in" a
small smount indivi lually the
thing could be easily accom-.
plished.
The very latest thing in town,
subsequenting Hop" Smith dis

phate lands, is the white KID har-
ness Mr.. Jno. K. Morris is now
sporting on his superb and beauti-
full black Indian pony. Tue hosts
Of friends of Mr.. Morris through
out the State will be interested in
this item, AMI we are only sorry
they canLot have the pleasure Of
witnessing with what dexterity
and grace he manipalates the
white reins.
It is with exceeding rogret that
we chronicle the death of Mr..
Everett JOyner, a well-to-do fars

whose critical illness was men
toned in these columns a few
days ago, which occurred at his
home in Dupiin county last Fri
day morning, of typhoid fever.
He was the father of our towns.
man Mr.. Everett Joyner, Jr., a
merchant in the northern part of
the city. Mr.. Joyner had many
warm friends in this city, where
he was we'll known, who will
deeply regret to learn Of his
death. To the bereaved family
the ARGUS extends it's sympathy
in their hour of affection.
Many a mother will be glad to
know that right here in our own
progressive town a summer school
and Kindergarten has been started,
a place where a small child can
spend its mornings and derive
much beneft-the work being
very intere sting-such as nature
work, garden work, etc. All done
in such a simple way that the
children call it fun, but in reality
it IS the building of the foundation
for higher work. Miss Eta Spier
has charge of the little class and
extends a cordial Invitation to all
to come and see the little ones at
work. The hours are from 9 to
IL at the Graded School, second
small school house in the real of
the large building. For full par
