JUNIUS

We heard a man say the other
morning that the ahbreviation for
February--Feb.-means Freeze ev-
cry body,and that man looked frozen
in his ulster. 1t was apparent that
he needed the kind of warmth that
reaches from head to foot, all over
the body. We could have told him
from personal knowledge that Hoods
Sarsaparilla gives permanent warmth
it invigorates the blood and speeds
it along through artery and vein, and
really fits men and women, boys and
girls, to enjoy cold weather and re-
sist the attacks of disease. It gives
the right kind of warmth, stimulates
and strengthens at the same time,
and all its benefits are lasting. There
may be a suggestion in this for you.

A TOWN CLOCK.
DEAR ARGUS:

Our City Hall is nearing compile
ton, a very imposing structure it is,
and one of which every citizen should
feel proud, it would do credit to a
much larger place than the one that
is the E'best town in the State" the
tive and obscure market. A good
market well supplied with the good
things of life is a ching of beauty
and a JOY torever,0 and a place we
can take delight in showing strangers
that visit our town. This n is not
beautiful for situation, nor is it ''set
on a hill" We will, however, let it
remain unsung and unseen, if you
will give us a town clock, one with
four faces, or dials, lighted at night,
and the stroke Of which can be heard
throughout the length and breadth
of our entire city, a. eve go for
ward"
1t is said that a first-class clock
with a loud stroke will cost about
three hundred dollars. Let us have
it, for the stimulus it will be to the
general regularity and punctuality of
the town; let it be so for the comfort
of those who watch with the sick
through the'night, and also for the
faithful policeman who is guarding
us while we sleep. Let US have
something to break the awful silence
of the night, if not let us return Ego
backward, not forWard) to the days
Of yore when the Waterman would
call out twelve O'Clock and all is
we'll, one o'clock and all is WE'LL" and
so on, until old Sol would show his
face IL Tie Est, al drive OFT dark
ness for the lights Of another day.
Now, finish up the city hal, give us
the town clock, and when that is
done, me thinks the old "Great
Eastern" that stands out in its de-
lapidated condition defying the axe
Of the carpenter, will surrender and
crumble and fall, carrying with it all
the traditions Of the varied business
transactions that have taken place
within it walls for nearly a half CEN
fury. Doubtless many will be glad of
its downfall, while there may be a
few in whom it will awaken sad re-
collections of by gone days.
We should all feel grateful to Mr..
Giddens for his faithful bell striking
the hours for us, but it's lungs are not
strong enough for us as we enlarge
our proportions, as only a few of us
can hear it.

q member of the G~oldsboro Rifles
marched away in April 1861, aged 10
years, and served bravely through
out the entire four years.
After the war he returned to this
city and for many years conducted a
successful buggy manufacturing bust
ness IN orr midst, and until recent
Iy, when lis health failed him, he
was a salesman on the road for sew
eral big buggy making concerns.
He loved Goldsboro. It was the
home of his heart, and the scene OF
all the joys of life and the dear rest
ing place of his dead loved ones, and
here, on the morrow his remain
will be inferred, in the family plot
in beautiful Willow Dale Cemetery,
beside his late wife and the mother
of his children, five of whom sur
vive him. These are Mrs. Walter
Holmes, of this city, Mr.. R. J.
Jones and Mrs. Dallie Gurley, OF
Chadbourn, MI. Harvey Jones, OF
Hobgood, and Mrs. Will Jones, OF
Georgia, all Of whom will be present

The family in their sad bereave-
ment have the sincere sympathy O

The growth of the poultry industry
in this country is one of the wonders
OF the time. AS a producer of wealth
the American hen is a marvel. To
illustrate the increased earning power
of this industrious %autocrat of the
barnyard it may be stated that in
Missouri during the fiscal year the
sum derived from the sale of poultry
and eggs ran ST. 900 ahead of all the
other products of the state combined.
The totals show that the old hen,
neglected and left by the farmer to
forage for herself while he devoted
his attention to the field crops, out
stripped them all, including corn,
wheat, oats. fax, timothy seed,
clover seed, millet seed, cane seed,
castor beans, cotton seed, tobacco,
broom corn, hay and straw. There
is a pointer in this to the farmers of
this section,

A Legend ABOUT Cnt..

The ancient Greeks thought that all
creatures except cats had souls and
that that animal lost it's soul through
bargain made between bridge archi-
tect and the devil. The architect had
besought the devil to get his help in
constructing an exceedingly dangerous
bridge structure, and his Satanic maj
esty only consented to lend aid on con,
dition that the first creature to cross it
should lose it's soul.
This was agreed upon, the bridge
finished in due time and the devil sent
to the opposite side to await his prey.
The shrewd architect took good care to
send cat over before any human he
ing was allowed to cross. On learning
Of the bargain the cat recrossed TIE
bridge and scratched the architects
eyes out.

curious Wills.

The most curious and perhaps the
most spiteful will on record is that of
Queen Austrigilda, consort Of King
Gontram, who by her noncupative or
verbal testament enjoined her hus-
band to slay and bury in the same
grave with herself the two physicians
who had attended to her majesty dur
ing her last illness. Scarcely less vim
dictive was the will of the selfish hus.
band who forbade his wife to marry
second time, concluding with the
threat, IF she disobeys me, will
come again if can" Quite at the OPP
posite pole of sentiment was the direc-
ton of the married woman who pre-
deceased her husband to her executors
to seek out some nice, good, pretty girl
who would make an affectionate sec
ond wife for spouse. London Tele-

'Twould Spoil This Story to Tell 1t
in The Headlines

To use an eighteenth century phrase
this is all "o'er true tale" Having
happened in small Virginia town in
the winter of 1902, it is story very
much of the present. Up to a short
time ago Mrs. John E. Harmon, of
Melfa Station, Va, had no personal
knowledge of the rare curative proper
ties of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
"Last January" she says, my baby
took dreadful cold and at one time
l feared she would have pneumonia,
but one of my neighbors told me how
this remedy had cured her little boy
and began giving it to my baby at
once and il soon cured her. I heart
lily thank the manufacturers of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy for placing
so great cure within my reach. I
cannot recommend it too highly or
say too much In it's favor. I hope all
who read this will try it and be con-

HOW DOGS FIND THEIR WAY
Evidence That They Possess Pecul.
lar Power to Guide Them.

lar Power to Guide Them.
In the old days of the James river
canal fine setter was taken by his
master on q packet boat which was so
crowded that the dog was put in the
captains cabin to be out of the way,
says the New York Mail and Express.
His owner reached bis destination aft
er nightfall and had taken so much
wine by that time that he was carried
off the boat, and no one remembered
his setter.
Next morning the captain took the
dog on deck with him, but was much
afraid he would jump off to the tow
path and try to return that way, and so
handsome an animal would have been
in danger of being stolen.
Carlo, however, lay perfectly quiet,
but with an air of listening that at
tracted notice. Toward noon he heard
the sound of the horn of packet COM
Ing from the opposite way, and as the
boats passed each other he made a leap
and was next heard from as having
got off at the place where his master
had stopped and as having gone at
once to the house where he was a
guest
Could human intelligence have sur
passed that?
This same dog lay on his masters
grave and refused food until he died
from starvation. But do not give this
as case in point.
A gentleman who lived hundred
miles from a city moved there with all
his possessions, including bulldog
which had been raised at his fathers
home, where he had hitherto resided.
He was locked up in the car with the
furniture and in the hustle of unloading
disappeared, and two days afterward
he reached his former home, coming by
an inland route, as was known by par
ties who recognized him, so that he evil
IDENTIFY marked out his own path with
out reference to the railroad on which
he had been carried away.

naming a Town.

According to local tradition, proba-
bly, invented, Sayyille, N. Y, received
it's name in peculiar fashion. The
settlers were gathered in debate upon
the shore, trying to agree upon name
for the place, and one after another
proposed his suggestion with, "Say;
how III this. do?" After many sugges.
tons had been rejected some one bar
rem of Imagination but sensitive Of eur
proposed that the oft repeated word
Say" be made the first syllable Of the
name and that willie" be added as the
second syllable. The idea took, and,
says the legend, then and there the
settlement was christened Sayville.
