TUESDAYS HAPPENINGS.

The Acme Machine Works turned
out another full fiedged locomotive
yesterday, which was shipped to the
eastern part of the State. Such oc-
currences are SO frequent that they
do attract the attention now that |
they did at first. They are evidence
however that Goldsboro has the best |
equipped and the most modern ma |
chine shops in this section of the |
country.
News has reached the city of the
the death of Mr.. Geo. w. Sugg, at
his home, near Snow Hill, yesterday
afternoon. He was one of the lead

of his acquaintances. He was an ex-
tensiVe land owner and a successful
farmer. He had a wide circle of
friends in this city who will regret
to learn of his death.

the city yesterday our handsome
young friend Capt. E. A. Hood,
Grantham township boy who left
these parts about 16 years ago to try
his fortune, on his merits, among
strangers, and who has made good
headway and is prospering in his
chosen that of railroad
ing. He is running as conductor on
! the Seaboard Air Line, between Sa-
vannah, Ga, and Jacksonville, Fla,
with headquarters in Savannah. He
is looking we'll, and his many old
boyhood friends in this section were
glad to see him.

| Mr.. J. @. Kearney, travelling
salesman, came down TO the city this
morning from Louisburg, where last
week his commercial trunks were
broken open and rif1ed of their valu-
able contents, consisting of mems un-
derwear and ladies' cloaks, by a
tramp printer giving his name there
as VIM. T. Hettrick, but known here
and at Kinston and Wilson, where
he had worked alternately, some
months ago, by the name Of Hudson.
It seems, too, that this printer with
the alias names stole a lot of type
and other printing material from the
Office Of the Weekly Record, in
Louisburg, on which paper he had
been working and which, being 9
