Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1903-03-26

Creech returned on Tuesday from
the northern centres of fashion, and
the lady readers of the ARGUS
throughout its wide city circulation
and up and down the railroads cen
tering here, will now look forward
with great interest for the announce
ment of CasteX & Co.'S Easter open
ing in millinery and dress goods.
The commodious show windows
of Messrs. Bizzell Brothers popular
shoe store on East Centre street at
tract and hold the attention of all
who pass that way. They are arts
tically stocked with the latest styles
of shoes, both for men and women,
and of standard makes, so that the
customer is assured of qualify swell
as style. Their display of mems
hats and summer wear in stockings
and socks is also very attractive.
Right much anxiety is felt by the
truckers of this section over the ear
~ blooming of the pea crop. The
very moderate weather has caused
peas to bloom a week earlier than
usual, which would work to the ad-
vantage of the trucker if such wealth
er should continue, but in case of a
freeze, which there is every reason to
believe will come, and which usual
~ comes at a later period, the pea
crop would be almost a total failure.
The next thing that Goldsboro
will have to add in the shape of city
features is street cars. A trOlly line
to Seven Springs in connection with
the city street car line would prove a
payinginVestment, and sooner or la
ter some capitalist will step in and
build the trolly line and buy the ho-
tel property at the Springs. There
is a fortune in it for somebody and
the opportunity will not stand open
always.
The Woman's Cub-the most pro

that the occasion will be largely
frequented.

There is to be a great choir contest
at the colored Presbyterian Church
on Sunday Goth inst. between the
Calvary Presbyterian Church choir
of Wilson and the Shiloh Presbyte-
rian Church choir of this city. Ex-
tensive preparation is being made to
give the people of Goldsboro a great
day. The Rev. F. w. FAIRIES, pas
tor of the white Presbyterian church,
will preach for them at 3 o'clock
Sunday afternoon. The pastor Rev.
G. billiard takes this method ofinvit-
ing the white people to witness the
great occasion.
The Bridgers house in this city is
to be enlarged and improved and be
raised to the dignity OF q hotel with
porters to meet the trains and such
other features as are characteristic of
hotels generally. The first floor Of
the building which heretofore has
been occupied by a real estate Office,
will be converted into an office and
dining room with stairWays leading
up to the first floor from the inside of
the building. Mr.. George Bizzell,
the proprietor of the hotel, has been
in the business on a small scale for
some years and he has made many
friends among the travelling public
who will be delighted al an oppor-
tunity to continue their patronage.
