MI. G.. F. Farmer, of Danville,
Va, has arrived in the city to take
charge of the Banner Warehouse for
a term of years. He has had about
twenty-five years experience in the
tobacco business and will be a valu-
able addition to this market. The
! house which he has leased is the old
est in the city and has always been
popular with the farmers and under
his capable management it is conf
IDENTIFY expected That it will continue
to draw its share of the patronage.
| Mr.. Farmer is we'll known to the
other tobacco dealers on this market.
| He can be relied upon to look out
for the interest of his patrons, while
at the same time being a valuable
help to this market in general.
It is a matter of much y, "ret that
some arrangements calnt'6 80 made

feared that constantly in,l~ilng the
dust Will prove disastrous to the
health of our citizens The public
and the merchants suffer alike from
| the dust and there is every reason
why the streets should be sprinkled
| while there is 10 good reason why
they should not lie. 1t is claimed
that the macadamized streets will
| st much LONGER when sprinkled
regularly. This fact alone should
move the city to have the work done.
The water works noW belongs to the
people Of Goldsboro and should be
used for their benefit.
1t is reported here by the Inter

The game Of baseball at Westside
park last Wednesday, between a
picked colOred team from Norfolk
and the GOldsboro Giants was one of
the most interesting and exciting
ever witnessed On the diamond in
this city. It required eleven innings
to decide the game and Goldsboro
won by a score of 5 to 4. It has been
known for some time that Goldsboro
had the strongest colored team in the
State, as every team they had gone
up against had gone down in defeat
before them, but it was not known
untilWednesday that theycould take
the championship away from the
Red Stockings of Norfolk. A large
crowd of white people witnessed the
game, as they do every time the
home team has a game, and those
who went never saw a better game.
Public roads, next to railroads, are
the greatest developers we have.
Who can estimate the value Of the
turnpikes Of Kentucky, Tennessee
and Virginia? Convenience to mar
ket, to pOstOffces, to schools and
churches, is what is necessary to
make useful and permanent citizens.

system, they are unable oftentimes
to market their products, they have
no educational facilities, they are re-
moved from churches and otherwise
subjected to inconvenience that peo-
