long. The building committee of
the Board of Aldermen have been in
structed to advertise for bids. The
only remaining appropriation is for
street Improvement and this is more
pressing than all the rest.
The police arrested a young negro
man in Webtown Friday a. M, who
was trying to sell new clothing. At
first he protested his innocence, but
afterwards said that he stole one suit
of the clothes in Clinton and the
other n in Turkey, a town on the
Clinton branch railroad. The chief
of police has been communicating
with the authorities in Clinton, and
it is expected that further arrests
will be made later on. The police
here are of the opinion that the ne
gro captured to-day is only one of
the many who have been doing sys-
tematic stealing somewhere, and that
he came to GOldsboro to dispose of
his part of the booty. A further in
vestigation will be made before the
trial is had.
Work is being pushed rapidly on
the new tobacco stemmery, which
will be occupied by Mr. Geo. S.
Prichard as the representative of the
Imperial Tobacco Company, which
will be a new concern on this mar
ket. Those who are in a position to
know say that the prospects for the
Goldsboro tobacco market were never
so,bright as theyare at present. The
recent rains have materially i'm
proved the condition of the crop, and
with a large local crop and with an
increased number of buyers, which
means more spirited competition,
there is every reason to believe that
the number of pounds marketed here
the coming season will be much
greater than any previous season.
The patrons of this market are conf
dent, in any event, that Goldsboro
will maintain her enviable reputa-
ton for paying the highest market
price for the golden weed.

CIVIC V
The Woman's Club Editor Writes
on This Important Subject.

on This Important Subject.
The ARGUS desires to announce
that it's columns are open for any
and all fair-minded opinions and
suggestions that bear upon the bet
terment of our town-its civic con-
ditions.
Through the efforts of the Village
Improvement Department of the
Woman's Club, we have been able
to have with us a nan prominently
identified with the League for Civic
Improvement, now let us follow
some of the suggestions made by
him.
Those who were fortunate enough
to hear MI. Routzahn on last We'd
nesday morning, felt more than re-
paid for their effort in getting out to
hear him, for his talk was about
work that is really practicable for US
to attempt-and surely to accom-
plish.
The whole country, from the
greatest city to the tiniest hamlet, is
becoming more alive to the real liv-
ing meaning of the Golden Rule-of
our obligations to our fellow men.
Any factor which helps Us along this
line is to be welcomed, even cher
ished, that it may become strong
and so help us to a larger, better
life. The strongest plea made by
Mr.. Routzahn, who echoed the
opinion of the best workers in the
American League for Civic Improve
ment, was for the active interest of
every citizen, young and old, in the
communicates to form one
! strong organization which will stand
for community Improvement which
! means the better condition of every
Individual.
Our columns to-day will allow no
| more, but we intend to keep them
alive with The suggestions that may
come to us, and with whatever ideas
we find advanced by the fore
most workers in this great move
ment.

FALLS HEIR TO WEALTH.

NIL. u. ~. OuII, u ILLS lily, LAS
Land and Money in Germany.
From Tuesdays Daily Argus
After working hard all his life and
nearing the th%ree-score mile post in
his journey through this vale of tears,
Mr.. John Charles DUR, of this city,
is about to come into the possession
of property and money which will
enable him to spend his time or this
earth where the shadows begin to
lengthen, with ease and comfort.
He has been notified through Mr..
Peschau, the German Consul at Will
mington, that there wa money and
land waiting for him in the Fader-
land.
Mr.. Durr, if he lives to e the
light of day tomorrow, the 18th day
of June, will be 60 years of age. He
has raised a family of children who
are now all grown and most of them
married. He came to this country
from Germany when only eight
years old and landed at New Or
leans. His uncle was captain on a
German barque, which made regular
trips between New Orleans and a
point on the river Rhine. Tt was on
one of these trips that Mr.. Durr came
to this great and glorious country
with his uncle. He spent his boy
hood days in New Orleans working
hard, and afterwards went out west,
where he remained for some years.
Later on he struck out for the Old
North State, and landed in Halifax
county, where he met other Ger
mans who came from his native
province.
After remaining in the chicken
fighting country for some years he
gathered up his goods and chattels
and pitched his tent in Wayne coun-
ty, where he remained in peace OF
mind and sound in body until about
two months ago when he received
notice from official circles in Wash
ington that he was the possessor OF
wealth which had been left him by
his father and his uncle in the land
of sour kraut and limberger cheese.
The official notice directed the sur
prised heir to call upon the German
Consul at Wilmington, who would
put in shape the proper instruments
in writing that would bring some OF
the Kaiser's gold across the ocean.
, This has been done and now all that
Mr.. Durr has to do is to wait until it
gets here and receive thee ongratula-
tions of his friends.

Would it not be a good idea if the
Board of Health would take a look
at the big ditch and see if it would
not be a good thing to suggest that
it be cleaned out, ever at this late
date. It is perfectly dry now-space

bars and distractions ought not to
remain there even through cultivated
fields, to say nothing of running
