Goldshoro, NJ c., Nov. 26.-Our people
are delighted with the new train being
operated by the Southern. They appre,
ciate the splendid service inaugurated,
enabling close connection, morning and
evening. for points east and west. A
Greenville man says, why, / can leave
home in the eventide of busy day, con-
meet with the Atlantic and North Carolina
at Kinston and the Southern at Colds
boro, and after pleasant nights sleep
breakfast in the early morning in the
hustling, bustling city of Charlotte" A
gentleman over at Jacksonville, in Ons-
low county, remarked to your correspon-
dent, with the present arrangement
of schedule I can dine with my loved ones
in the afternoon, board the cars on the
Wilmington and New Bern railroad, make
close connection at New Bern for Colds
boro and at Goldsboro via the new train
on the Southern road reach the State
capital about my usual bed time"
The man from the west coming in via
this early morning train goes anywhere
north or east at his pleasure. He could
reach our city by the sea, but for the
fact that the Coast Line train going
south passes Goldsboro just thirty min
utes before. the Southern is due.
1t looks as if Wilmington's Chamber OF
Commerce usually alive to her interest
would demand of the Coast Line that they
make this connection in order that pat
rons OF their wholesale houses at Clay
ton, Selma and other points on the South
ern could visit them in the morning, re-
turning to their homes in the evening
Besides this great benefit to the travelling
public, the fact that our people get the
Raleigh papers in the early morning is
source OF pleasure, calling forth our
praise OF the Southern.
Just here the thought presents itself
that the travelling public eat once and
awhile as they go on their various mis-
sions, and take this opportunity of an
swering numerous enquiries, if Colds
boro has a restaurant. lunch count

TO relieve the wants of the innerman as
they go in and out Of our beautiful, prog
ressve city. A good cafe here is a
very necessary part of the towns life,
and such We have in The Acme Cafe. in
the Messenger Opera House building on
Centre street, convenient alike to all in
coming or outgoing trains. The Acme
Cafe is up-t0-date in every respect
neatness and dispatch, what you want
as you wish it, being the motto of Mr.
j. 3. Taylor, it's clever gentlemanly
and efficient proprietor. Mr.. Taylor
comes to us from our sister city, New
Bern, with practically life time ex-
Lerience in the hotel and cafe business.
1T the Acme the culinary art reaches
perfection and your order comes in
steaming as if cooked in transit. A cold
stew OF oysters or luke warm quail or
steak is an unknown experience with
guests of this excellently equipped parlor.
The best of everything seems to be a fad
with Mr.. Taylor. hence his patrons go
forth talking advertisements. Any table
delicacy desired is served at the Acme
in season. This being the fish, oyster
and game season, these delicacies are
TO be had in any desired way known to
the culinary art. Lovers of the lucious
bivalve can take their choice in the
selects of Norfolk or those famous
ones from New river They are served
at The Acme on the half shell, by meas
ure, raw, stewed, fried or as desired
Quail on toast, or squirrel, in fact, just
what one wants is to be had at The Acme
In connection with his cafe is a lunch
counter where the man of slender purse
or the traveller with but a minute to
spare is served.
Goldsboro is proud of its cafe and lunch
room, The Acme, and halls with pleasure
the coming of it's genial proprietor, Mr..
j. b. Taylor.
