Goldsboro weekly argus., 1902-10-23

Golds5oro's reputation for always
doing the proper thing in the proper
way on all public occusions is 60
ing to be fully sustained this week,
during her Business Mems Fall Fes-
tival and Elks' Carnival, which will
open up in full blast this evening for
a weeks run, and which is replete
with every possible attraction for the
enjoyment and profitable entertain
ment Of the multitude of visitors who
are expected to visit our city during
the week. k.-Andright here theARGUs
wishes to-and does-assure every
body that this Carnival in every fea-
ture is going to be absolutely in
keeping with refined taste and pub
lie decency, so that any lady can at
tend the entire aggregation Of at
fractions without the slightest mis-
giving. The reputation of Colds
bOrO is behind this Carnival and the
members of the Goldsboro lodge OF
Elks, composed as they are of the
representative men, young and old,
of Goldsboro, and therefore, the
''Best People On Earth" /" are as jeal-
Gus of Goldsboro's fair name and as
solicitous for her progress as it is
possible to be. 1t goes without say
ing, therefore, that this Carnival will
be conducted from start to finish on
the highest possible plane, and those
who circulate rumors to the contrary
will not be those who attend the
shows and spend their money in
furthering the progress of GoldsborO
commercially and otherwise, for
which this Carnival week was inaug-
urated, under the auspices of the
Benevolent Protective Order of
Elks.
AS has before been announced,
aside from the Country Store''-lo-
Gated in the Armory Building-and
the voting booths for the Queen of
the Carnival, the aggregation Of at
fractions are located on the spacions
railroad square along Boundary
street, in the northwestern section of
the city, which is veritable town of
tents, and where all visitors will be
cordially received and where every
will be paid them while
visiting the shows.
On entering the gate on James |
street, where the visitors has to pay
10 cents, the first tent contains the |
Snake Eating Snake Osay, besides a |
collection of all the most noted va
rieties that crawl the earth. The boa |
constructor swallows a rabbit whole |
when he is fed. The admission to
the snake show is 10 cents.
The next attraction is the statue
turning to life and is we'll worth the
small admission charged.
The next attraction is given under
a tent which holds two of the most
noted bicycle riders of the world.
They are Leonard Wilson, of Pitts
burg, the first man to ride a bicycle
down the capitol steps in Washing
ton, D. c., and Nick Nichols, the
holder of all records on the track.
These riders perform feats on theI
wheel which seem impossible.
The old plantation tent is one cf
the best attractions. It is an exhi-
Dition of ante-bellum days in the
South with songs and dances.
Then comes the "Girl From Up
You will have to go inside
5he tent to see what she does. It is
one of the attraction, but nothing
could be learned as to what it is.
The Gay Paree is the next tent.
This is for amusement and those
Who delight in singing and dancing
md cracking funny jokes will find I
What they are looking for. This at =
raction costs 15c.
The Streets of India will be one of
