Mr.. and Mrs. Carl E. Stanley have
moved into their new residence, 10Y
N. Virginia street, and have entered
upon the duties Of housekeeping.
The ARGUS cordially wishes them
all happiness and length of days.
The many friends of Mr.. Frank
K. Broadhurst, in this city, sincerely
hope that the operation he left yes
terday to undergo in st. Luke's Hos
pital at Richmond, may prove emf
nently successful and that he may
| soon be with US again.
The marriage of Mr.. E. L. D.
Gurley to Miss Pearl Hornaday took
place at the home of the brides
brother Mr.. Mack Hornaday, in this
city, on Thursday night. Both the
contracting parties are well known
in this city and have each a number
of friends who will extend their con-
CALCULATIONS on the present happy
| occasion.
The interest manifested in the sale of
the property belonging to the late
Geo. d. Bennett on West Centre
street, Monday at II O'Clock at the
Court House door, is evidence of the
value of real estate in GoldsborO.
Promptly at the hour advertised
there had assembled at the Court
House a large crowd of would-be-
buyers and the bidding was very
lively from the time the first offer
was made until the property was
knocked off to Mr.. Jno. F. Souther-
land for $3.50. The terms of the
sale were cash with 81, 900 to be paid
instantly and the balance to be paid
when the title was transferred.
The closing of Buck Swamp pub
lie acknowledgements wasan event Of
unusual interest and was attended by
a splendid turnout Of the good peo-
pie of that section, showing that in
terest in education is deepening and
widening among the country peo-
pie. Col. A. @. Davis, by invita-
ton, was the speaker of the evening,
and it goes without saying that he
gave them a most interesting talk
along right lines. Col. Davis, an old
and successful teacher himself, before
he entered the legal profession,
which he adorns, knows just what to
say when making educational talks,
and his interest in the work has not
grown cold. He has addressed the
people at a number of school ciosings
IN the county this season, and the
people always hear him gladly and
with profit.
A request has come from the Con
feGerate Bazaar in Richmond, that
is being held by the SouthernStates,
to raise funds for the Davis Menu
ment, that the North Carolina booth
wants a quantity ofpeanuts-as there
is great call for them among visitors
70 the bazaar. The ARGUS is reques-
ted, therefore, by the Daughters of
Thomas Ruff1n Chapter, to ask any
in this city and section who may feel
SO disposed to make a contribution
of peanuts to the worthy cause. Con-
[tributions can be left at the store of
Messrs. H. & M. L. Lee, and in any
iquantity from a peck toa bushel, and
the same will be promptly expressed
to the North Carolina booth in the
great Richmond Bazaar. 1t is hoped
that there will be a speedy and gen
erous response to this request.
Masters Leo Schwab, son of Mr..
Joe SchWab, and Bruce Thompson,
son Of Mr.. B. G.. Thompson, have
designed and constructed a boat that
is so m~eritorious as to win the adj
miration of all who see it-so much
so that Mr.. Arneld Borden has had
a carpenter to pattern after it in
building twofor service on the, clubs
} fish pond beyond the river Master
Leo Schwab has displayed such me-
chanical genius that the steel and
iron works of Admission, Ala, have
r offered him a position, through his
) cousin Mr.. Sig Lehman, of New
York, who is a large stakeholder il
, the above plant. 1t is to be hoped
that should Leo conclude to go with
the concern, which is in the grea'
l steel trust dominated by the renown
ed Chas. Schwab, he will revise the
code of commercial ethics of his more
: famous namesake.
;. ROYAL & Borden have adopted {
;, very unique method of advertising
. as will be seen by visiting their store
= They have in their show window
some articles of furniture on which
they propose to reduce the price eacl
day until they are sold, and as you
will notice from their advertisement
IF this reduction will start a week from
n to-day, and until that time, the ar
e ticles will be displayed in their win
dow and everybody will be priv
) legged to make one guess at the pric
If at which the goods will sell. The on
d guessing the closest to the price a
,. which these articles in the window
e will sell will be given n of thei
celebrated Royal Elastic Felt Ma
g tresses. Tt costs nothing to guess ant
l. you will note that the guessing mus
o be done on the coupon which is con
tanned in their advertisement.
