B. 7. D. {.
Lodge No. 1870 Reconstructed in
This City Yesterday After
noon. Last Nights Banquet.
G4ol1ssoorO Did Herself Proud:
MIR. n. a. JOSEPH A JOLLY
T~OASTHIASTER.

From ali sections Of the State
lage delegations of representative
young men came to participate in
the organization of the Goldsboro
Lodge Benevolent Protective Order
of Elks, No. 139, and it is with pride
that the ARGUS feels that the jolly
visitors, who had heard in advance
that they ere coming to the best
town in the State, were not disap-
pointed in their anticipations, but
found Gofdsboro'shospitality royal
rs her reputation for such is wide
spread. The only regret of the home
Elks was that all the brother Elks of
the State could not be with them on
this occasion to participate in the
organization of No. 1879 and in last
nights banquet and brilliant toasts,
given in the spacious dining room of
Hotel Kennon.
Not being a member of the "Best
People On EARTH, the ARGUS man
is unable to report the initiation pro-
ceedings in the Council Chamber;
how we'll the boyst' high, ''and
how they bore themselves generally
on their journey into Elkdom; but in
| the organization of Goldsboro lodge
! Benevolent Protective Order of Elks
| No. 139, we are told that some thir-
ty young men Of this city enrolled
| themselves as charter members, and
| Mr.. E. @. Porter was unanimously
| elected Exalted Ruler, and it goes
without saying that throughout his
| wide circle Of friends in this State
and elsewhere, his election will at
once establish the GoIGsboro lodge
right up at the top with the order
!. everywhere.
Ofcourse it is not in the province
of the ARGUS to praise the hospital
ity of its own town-we leave that
! for others. Suffice it, therefore, to say,
that every n of the visitors seemed
to enjoy every moment of his stay in
F! Goldsboro, and especially was the
banquet a most delightful feature OF
the occasion. The set toasts were adj
mirably rendered and the imprOmp-
tn speeches-many and varied
we're relished by the jolly feasters
and Toundly applauded.
) MI. A. "A. Joseph was an ideal
POSTMASTER and won the hearts and
plaudits of the more than two hun
:. dred guests.
! The following is the splendid
menu of the banquet, served in the
;: Kennon's best style, and the list of
