The Appropriation for n Public
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. County Con-
veafion-Hayyaii Glee Club.

Correspondence of The Messenger)
Goldsboro. N. c., April IS.
The news in the telegraph columns of
the daily papers today that the congress
sional committee had recommended an
appropriation of SIS, 1000 for a govern
ment building in Goldsboro Is cause for
eongratulation on the part of every cit
izen OF our progressive city. While the
appropriation is not what the people OF
Goldsboro would have 1t and not what
GoldsborO Is entitled to by reason OF
her splendid location as railroad GEN.
ter and as a mail distributing poine
still there is no disposition to KICK. On
account Of the railroad facilities this
is an ideal location for a federal court,
which, it is thought, will be establish
ed here after the government building
has been erected.
Congressman Thomas, who is q MEM
ber from this district and who is a
member Of the public building commit
tee. secured the promised appropria lion
This lis one of the improvements for
Goldsboro that the chamber of COM
merce has been at work on for several
months and the fact that they have
secured it through Mr.. Thomas is evi-
dence sufficient that Goldsboro is re
sewing the recognition that she de-
serves.
The Wayne County republican exec
ative committee met in this city t2da Y

signed as secretary of the committee

the vacancy.

Norfolk Tenement Houses Burned.
Norfolk, Va, April 26.-Fire DESTROYED
thirteen frame tenement houses on
Princess Anne avenue this afternoon.
The flames were famed by the heavy
wind. and sparks were carried a dis
tance Of 800 yards, setting fire to aEoth-
er house which, however, was saved
Owing to the low water pressure, the
FIRE got beyond the control Of the de-
partment. The fire is supposed to have
originated from the explosion OF a
lamp. Five of the burned buildings
were owned by Miss Blanche Baker,
three by Mrs. John Lowe and four by
the Mutual Guarantee Building and
Loan Association.

was 10 years old when he married his th1rd

lived ten years after they were married. Their
son William is still living IN Jcresboro.
Mrs Jones lives on a tiny farm OF i've
acres in a three-room cottage built nearly
