waiting for the arrival of delayed
trains on the Southern Railway to
have a big celebration the first time
either n of the Southern's trains
come in on time. Such a celebration
would probably do much to encour-
age the officials of that road to try to
approximate the schedule of their
trains.
The death of Mr.. Dock Darden &C.
Cured Sunday night at his home in
Sampson county. His death was
caused in a very peculiar manner.
About a week ago he was cutting
wood in his back yard and through
violent exertion he bursted a blood
vessel in his head. He was paraly- !
zed at once and fingered between
life and death until Sunday night.He
was a former citizen of Goidsboro
and was about 40 years old. He
leaves a wife and several children.
He was a member of the Junior Or
der Of United American Mechanics
in this city.
We were delighted to e on our
streets Saturday, our good friend and
c%ountyman, DR.. VIII Crawford,
who was out for the first time since
his sickness. When a man like DR..
Crawford gets sick, it is a great loss
to the community. Not only as a
skiIful physician going the rounds of
his practice does he bless the COM
munity, but with always a word of
cheer, and war grasp of hand, he
blesses the neighborhood in which he
lives. The all round country doctor
is one II the most useful, and there
upon the most influential men in any
community.
On the Doth inst. Mr.. Geo. M. War
rick, of Grantham township was
united in marriage to Mrs. Valeria
! Austin, of Newton Grove, Sampson
! county. Rev. j. B. Jackson, of this
city, offciated. Immediately after
the marriage a we'll prepared dinner
was served. After dinner the bridal
! party started for MI. Warrick's ele-
CANT 4.Ga Lone, arriving there about
dusk, and were again greeted by a
{ we'll loaded table of barbecue, turkey
and cake of various kinds. After
supper followed a reception which
was much enjoyed by all present.
1t is no hard task to find numbers
of people who are trying to attend to
! other peoples business. There has
been a great deal Of talent, time and
energy wasted by on such people
in trying to figure out the life of a
brick when left in a pile on a side
walk. Some who are adept at figures
have reached the conclusion that
the city will save the expense
of removing that big pile of
brick on Walnut street sidewalk if
allowed to remain where they are
until 1905. The claim is made that
the brick, those which are not stolen,
will have wasted away to dust by
that time and that the dust can be
swept into the gutter and washed in
to Neuse river via the big ditch.
There is nothing like using economy
in the expenditure of public money.
The question of rates on water and
lights is n which is engaging the
attention of the people at present,
who thought that the rates would be
reduced when the city came into
control of both plants. The state
ment was made to the board of AL.
dermen that the electric light plant
was one Of the best paying pieces o.
property in the city at the time
when the city was considering the
purchase Of the plant and if this
was so then why is it not SO now anC
| why is it that the rates cannot be re.
; duced to something ear the cost 0
I RAINING expenses? In reference tt
water rates it can be said that it il
hard for the man who has water il
his residence to understand why HI
f should have to pay more per gallon
: than a manufacturing plant, when i
l costs no more to pump water for
S residence or store than it does for
s saw mill or cotton factory.
. An accident of a very distressin,
d nature occurred last night about
o'clock at the plant of the Southern
: Cotton Oil Mill in this city. Mr.. H
T e. King, the superintendent of tn
y mill, had gone home and left tn
5 mill in the charge of his assistant
Z Mr.. E.. G.. Denmark, who found i
. necessary to examine the gin on &C
count of a slight irregularity. Will
n at work on the machine he got hi
h right arm caught by the gin saw
: and had the flesh torn from his han
II and arm. Medical aid was sun
d moned and the young man is restin
quietly to-day, but it is feared ths
= the. arm will have to be amputateC
k He is the son of Tax Collector Will
II A. Denmark and is a model youn
j. man Of genial disposition and exec
a lent habits. The accident will be
as source Of deep regret on the part
re his numerous friends, who yet hoI
that he will survive the accidel
without the loss of his arm.-Dail
