Goldsboro, n. c., Sept. 13.-The Lantern

brilliant affair, much enjoyed and fl
nancial success. For the prettiest Lantern
Emma Hollowell secured first prize. For
second, prettiest, Sherley Jenkins; for
funniest, Jessie Hunt; for ugliest, Geo.

on the grounds is lamentable. One would
hardly have believed in all Goldsboro

have destroyed hanging lanterns and
cut the ropes from which they were sus-
pended and yet it was so.
1t is estimated that the cotton crop
south of Goldsboro, in Wayne county,
will not exceed 40 per cent crop while
to the north of Goldsboro the yield will
be about IS per cent crop
