Friday last. The score Monday was
Il to O, in favor of G~oldsboro; and
on Friday IS to lin favor Goldsboro.
Mr.. Thomas Newell, of Brogden
township, this county, has a well fork
which is owe 100 years old. The
fork was put down in 1901 and will
now last 100 years longer. It is made
of solid heart timber and is as per-
feet as it is possible to get a piece of
timber. 1t may be well to add that
a we'll fork is a piece of timber that
is put in the ground at one end for
the we'll sweep to rest on. This was
the way that the "Old Oaken Buc-
ket" was arranged.
A large tobacco barn filed With
tobacco in the last stages of curing,
about 1900 pounds, was destroyed
| by fire Saturday at Greenleaf. Il
| short distance from this city. The
building belonged to Mr.. Henry
| Davis and the tobacco in it was own
ed in common by neighboring farm
ers. The principal losers were Messrs.
w. G. and w. G. Holiowell and
Dane Moring. HeWell Kornegdy,
a colored farmer in the neighbor-
hood, was also one of the losers.
/ DIR. Luby S. Smith, who has been
SO critically i'll for some months
with kidney affection, went down to
J Seven Springs a few weeks ago and
has been drinking the water from
Spring No. 3. The effect upon him
has been marvellous. He was able
to come up to the city to-day on a
little business trip and was walking
about the streets, looking and feel
ing like a new man. He returns to
the Springs this afternoon and says
he is going to get well. OF course
there must be a best water in the
world and we believe Seven Springs
supplies that water.
The city was full to overlooking
Aug. 10, of colored people from all
parts of the State, whose mission
here was to attend the annual grand
lodge of the Knights of Gideon.
Headed by a brass band they gave
an extensive public parade, which.
together with their general conduct
while here was quiet and orderly,
and although they had the liberty of
the city throughout the day, the po-
lice say they SO demeaned them
selves as to give the city authorities
no trouble. This is as it should be.
There seems to be something in the
atmosphere Of Goldsboro that causes
visitors as we'll as home folks to rec
ognize that we've got the best town
in the State, and to conduct them
! selves accordingly.
The annual outing Of inmates of
the Odd Fellows Orphan Home in
| this city began this morning when
they left here for Wilmington, where
they will spend the balance of the
week in that city and at Southport.
They were accompanied by the sup
erintendent of the home Mr.. j. H.
Brinson and his family, and by Miss
Maud Peacock, the music teacher,
all of whom, together with the chill
dren will be assigned to the homes
of Odd Fellows in Wilmington. The
several lodges of the order in Will
mington have prepared an elaborate
program for the entertainment Ofthe
little ones while they are away. The
| CnllUI0u nave U00A lOOhIuS NOA WdIO
with much pleasure to the trip all
the time since they left Wilmington
this time last year, and it would
have made any heart glad to look
into the beaming countenances OF
the happy children this morning
while they were waiting in this
city to take the train for their annual
excursion.
