Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1903-01-15

All members of Thos. Ruffin Camp
u. G. V. are requested by the Adju-
tant to meet at Odd Fellows Hall in
Goldsboro Monday afternoon, Janu-
airy 10Th, at 3 o'clock to participate
in celebrating Gen. r. E. Lees
birthday anniversary.
When the new city hall and city
Offices are completed and the city
moves its headquarters, which will
take place some time in the next few
weeks, the wner of the building on
Walnut street which the city 10Y
occupies will erect brick stores and
Office buildings in its stead. 1t is a
desirable location for either office
and business purposes and the build
ings will find ready rental.
1t is the purpose of the city to ma
cadamize Walnut street from the
Bank Of Wayne corne to John street
and probably to William street. The
last named block should receive at
tentiOn by all 1t not only
needs grading but often gets in bad
condition. John street in the CEN
trail part of the city will receive at
tention and East and West Centre
streets from Ashe to Chestnut streets
should be macadamized.
The live stock dealers of this city
are getting horses and mules by the
car load from the west and it looks
as if a big volume of business will be
transacted in the stock line this year.
The conditions are so very different
now from what they were last year,
when there was not enough corn,
hay and fodder to feed what stock
the farmers had. The past year has
been a remarkable good crop year
and the farmers have an abundance
of feed stuff and money to buy more
stock.
There are several inquiries and
suggestions as to what the city is go
ing to do with those brick piled up
on the sidewalk and very much in
the way at Odd Fellows corner. 1t
was thought by some that the city
intended to build a passenger depot
i with the brick. bat nothing tlaa been
done along this line since Mr.. l.. E.
EugertOn announced his lntoution 10
place down two large cypress logs in
front of the waiting rooms for pas
sengers to walk on from the trains TO
the sidewalk. This, he says, will an
swer every purpose for a depot and
Will not be SC expensive.
There was a runaway early Tues
day on West Centre street which
. looked serious at one time to those
who CHANGED to be on the street so
:, early. Two mules hiUChed to a
wagon were skipping along yer the
frozen ground and all at once made d
:. lunge which threw the driver for
! ward. He fell on the wagon tongue
and would undoubtedly have beer
killed or injured severely ii a wagon
i, driver in front had not stopped his
} wagon so the runaway team Werl
j, compelled to u into the front wag-
on. There was some slight damage
; to the wagons.
t The alarm Of fire turned IN from
| box &c at II O'Clock en- Mon.ay,
was from a fire which caused a horse
belonging to Mr.. Herbert Andrews
: TO be burned to Geath. NJ. Ar
l dreWs lives at 412 East Centre stree
: south. The fire startcd in che nors<
2 stables and is supposed to have beer
5 caused by live ashes which were
l thrown near the stables. The fire
S was discovered too late to save the
horse. The prompt response of ths
: fire de- artlnent prevented turtle
: damage than the loss of the stable
and horse.
