that we ever heard. There were
passages in it that appropriated
genuine elcquence, and was in
deed a splendid tribute to a good,
upright, honest, Christian wo-
man."
At a meeting of Eclips Steam
Fire Engine Company Mr.. F. w.
Hilker rendered his resignation
as foreman of the company,
which was accepted with much
regret. MI. Max Cohen, a young
and fearless fireman, who has
been filing the position as as
sistant foreman, was elected to
the position made vacant by the
resignation of Mr.. Hilker.
Miss Estelle Tomlinson of this
city, who has been teaching in
the schools of this county for
some time, with highest satisfac-
ton, left Sunday for Green's
boro, where she has been elected
to a position on the faculty of the
| Graded Schools of that town. She
will be greatly missed by her
many friends here during her alb
sence.
The lectures by Rev. Sam P.
Jones in the Holiness Tabernacle
on the nights of the LIST and Bird
of FEBRUARY will no doubt prove
crOWd.draWing attractions. 1t
has been several years since a
Goldsboro audience has had the
pleasure Of listening to this dis
tinguished evnngalist and Ices
turer. He has many admirers
here, as elsewhere throughout the
country, who will secure seats
for his forthcoming lecture.
The friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Jno. e. Brown will learn with re-
greet of the accident which occur
red to their infant son, Charles
Edward Friday morning. The little
one was alone in the room, sitting
in a small chair by the stove and
fell on the stove, burning his face,
arms and chest severely, but not
as seriously as was at first
thought. Medical aid was sum-
moned and the child is resting
well this afternoon.
The directors of the Goldsboro
Drug Company met Tuesday
afternoon and declared a dividend
of 10 per cent, which not only

credit upon the general manager
OF the institution, Mr.. G. B.
Miller, whose efforts have made

:, The ARGUS is requested by
the Wayne County Board OF
Health to say to the parents OF
this city and county that Yaccina-
ton is absolutely essential in
order to admit of their children
attending the public schools,
and, that there will be no time
limit to this requirement. If any
parent thinks a child too delicate
to undergo vaccination the family
physician should be consulted
and a certificate obtained to this
effect. Vaccination is the surest
| preventive of a small pox cpl
demic, and while Goldsboro is
free from the plague, it should
be kept free.
While the ARGUS always re-

Goldsbcro people, it is with ex-
, IRENE regret that we announce
that Miss Ida Tomlinson, Of our
Graded School Faculty, has re-

been elected to a position in the
i. Townsville, Ga, Public Schools.
This IS a great loss to Goldsboro,
because Miss Tomlinson is one of
the best teachers in our schools,
in fact, in the entire faculty she
has no superior. Miss Tomlinson
was elected to her position IN
Georgia without making any ap-

there, her reputation as a teacher
here having brought her 10 the at
teution of the school board there.
Conscientious, painstaking, we'll
