THE FLAG RAISING.
The Junior Order Carry Out the
Published Programme in Fit
ting Manner.

Thursday was a big day for the
Junior Order Of United American
Mechanics in Goldsboro. The whole
membership of Goldsboro Council
No. 80 was out on the street in full
force, headed by brass band, and
keeping step to delightful strains of
soul-stirring music.
They were a fine body Of men,
composed of mechanics, clerks,
artists and professional men. The
occasion of such a demonstration was
the presentation of an American flag
and the Holy Bible, which are the
mud sills of the order.
The membership of the order,
about 125 strong, met in their coun-
Gil room on the corner of East Centre
and Walnut streets, at 2 O'Clock in
the afternoon, and marched in a
body, headed by the Goldsboro Brass
Band, to the Graded school, where
there were gathered several hundred
pupils of the school and a number of
citizens to witness the ceremonies.
Promptly at 2:3O o'clock Mr.. E.
l.. Edmundson, master of cere-
monies, called the assembly to or
der, standing upon the front portico
of the central school building, which
had been profusely and tastefully
decorated with bunting and Ameri-
can flags. Then Rev. f. w. FAIRIES
invoked divine blessing upon the as
sembly and the pupils of the school
rendered q vocal selection.
Mr.. Fl. B. Parker, Jr., made a few
Introductory remarks and was fol-
lowed by a selection from the band,
after which Capt. J. E. Peterson de-
livered a short speech upon the OBJ
jects OF the order.
Then there was more music and
Col. A. G, Davis made a speech in
which he presented the Bible to the
school. The cold rain which began
to fall prevented Col. Davis from
making the speech which he intend
ed and his speech, as well as those of
others who followed him, were cut
short, in consequence thereof.
Prof. A. J. Barwick, principal OF
the school, accepted the Bible with
appropriate remarks. Then followed
music by the children and the band,
after which Mayor Geo. E. Hood pre-
sented the flag in brief speech to Su-
perintendent Foust, who responded
in few pleasing sentences.
At this juncture "Old Glory was
hoisted to the breeze from the sum-
| NIT of the building, amid a grand sa-
lutte from the throat Of every one
present, while the band played the
national air.
Rev. F. T. II. Horsfeld, rector
of st. Stephens church, pronounced
| the benediCtion and closed the cere-
monies.
The members of the Junior Order
marched back in body to their
| lodge room, while the crowd quietly
| dispersed and wended their way
homeward TO get out of the cold.

BROWN GOING HOME

A. F Brown, the man who did the
work of installing the Gamewell sys-
TEN of fire and police alarm boxes,
wires and other parts in the city, leaves
for San Francisco in the Alameda this
afternoon. While Mr.. Coffee was vlr.
tually in charge Of the operations, Mr..
Brown was the superintendent who saw
that everything was done in a proper
manner. The excellence of the system
as It has been installed is tribute
enough to the painstaking care and ex.
cellent workmanship of Mr.. Brown.
During his residence in the city Mr.
Brown made a great many friends, par
ticulariy among the officers at the pc.
lice station, who look upon him both
as staunch friend and an expert who
knows every detail OF his business. The
superintendent will after a short stay
on the Coast, proceed to Manila where
the Gamewell system of fire and police
alarm will also be installed.
