The city authorities are to be COM
mended for cleaning up the streets
every Saturday. They make a much
better appearance on the Sabbath
after being cleaned of leaves and
trash. In this connection it can be
stated there is wholesale complaint
about the lack of sprinkling the
streets. The public cannot under
stand why it is that the streets are
not sprinkled in dry weather, such
as we have had of late, now that the
city has a sprinkler and owns the
water works.
The City Of Goldsboro has filed a
complaint with the clerk OF the court
and a summons has been issued
against Mr.. l.. d. Guiley to appear
at the next term of Wayne Superior
court and show cause why he has not
removed the old unsightly wooden
structure known as the Great East
ern, which occupies a prominent pO-
sition on the lot adjoining the new
city hall. Legal proceedings have
been instituted because the owner of
the property has refused to remove
the old building as he had agreed to
do.
Ex-Sherif Scott was in the city to-
day. At his sale, which took place
on his farm near Pikeville Nov.
End, he disposed of sufficient real
estate and personal property to sat
isfy all claims against him. He had
his home in Plkeville left, besides all
of his wife's property, which will he

of the sheriff throughout the county.
He says that he did not intend that
any of his bOndsmen should lose any.
thing and that he would have sold
everything he had in order to protect
them.
Messrs. Porter & Goodwin are put
ting in the plate glass front in the
building soon to be occupied by the
Kennon Cafe, under the st. James
hotel. The large centre glass meas
ured 96x126 inches and was placed
in position without the slightest ac-
cident. Mr.. B. III. Griffin, the pro-
prietOr of the Kennon Cafe, intends
to fit up the building in handsome
style and will supply it with the
most modern dining room furniture
and china and silver service as we'll

Mrs. Jno. ". Sherard, living out
beyond Salem church, in this county, |
sent to our Office to-day a marvellous
growth in the shape of a lemon,
weighing 121 ounces, and measuring
12a inches in circumference. 1t is
known as the American Wonder, |
and is from a tree only Is months
old and Is inches high, that Mrs. |
Sherard is nurturing in a flower pit
and which now has on it, besides |
other full grown lemons, younger |
fruit and blooms. What can North
not produce?
One of the most handsome as well
as the most valuable donations that
the soliciting committee of the Py-
THAN Fair have received came from |
r. A. ,Creech, one of our leading
jewellers, who has given the hand
some clock which has been so much |
in his show window. The

one year with one winding. It
is not only a perfect time-keeper, but
would be a handsome ornament in
by rattle during the Fair.
Mr.. w. H. Goodwin, who is a good

potato, raised on his farm by "Gover-
22a inches around and
weighs 5 pounds. The po' alto is on
exhibition at our Office, andMhas been
by a good many callers. It
is not as hio AS the ono reported from
Fork township by our Walter CORES
pendent elsewhere in this issue; but,
then, this potato can be seen, whilethat |
one is-Well- is Efreported." !
There is no doubt that the North

and despite the fact that there
are ten negroes in tae South to every
one in the North. The North really
nothing about the negro, his
character ard tendencies. When
aroused against some one negro in
the North for q brutal crime usually
war is made on the entire colony of
negroes, innocent as well as guilty..
and then the riOting snd mob viol-i

that way down South. We lust tend
to the individual and reek no venge-
