Goldsboro n c., Sept. 2S.-Your CORE
spondent has returned to the east fs'
the first time since the train from Raj
eigh to Goldsboro, giving such splendid
service to these people, was taken off
and finds the entire travelling public very
sore over the fact l told them, l be-
lieved this important train would be put
holding this opinion is that the whole
of the East demand it and besides,
though not officially stated, business in
terests demand the connection. The pub
lie generally are of the opinion, after
calculating the cost of operation and a
few other things, that the train was
paying investment. During my trip |
ran up frequently with Mr.. c. l.. Bunt-
ing the efficient soliciting agent of the
Southern Railway, and in number of
instances l was made to feel really sorry
for this most excellent official The
people everywhere were giving him
scissors on account of the train being
taken off, just as if Mr.. Bunting was
to blame. The fact that Mr..
Bunting was good Buffalo" and
IL better Elk and was help
ing TO establish an order of the
Elks down this way helped him ma
terially out of his dilemma. The cry
for the schedule is not confined to any
ore town, but comes up from Elizabeth
City and section, Washington, Tarboro,
Greenville, Kinston, Newborn, Morehead
in fan
from everywhere.
| Just believe the wisdom of Colonel
Andrews, Superintendent O'Brien and
others will see the great need for this
schedule and will put the same in effect
again. Surely the Southern cannot
longer ignore such a great necessity. The
above is written on my own personal ac-
count as an individual observer, as we'll
as a correspondent, alive to the interest
of the people.
The News and Observer was benefited
very much by the schedule, but it's
friends are sticking to it just the same,
and am adding new sub
scribers daily-hence it cannot be charg-
ed that l am prompted solely from the
newspaper interest standpoint.

consideration the ordering of an cleo

consider the advisability of setting apart
an additional cemetery plot in Willow

Jewish cemetery's available space is
quite occupied. 1t is hoped the city will
vet own it's water-works system, and
that our people will sustain the city
fathers in a reasonable proposition for
this purpose and also in the erection OF
