Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1903-05-14

AS another evidence of the super
Tor merit of GoldshofO talent, 1t is
with pleasure aid pride that we note
that the Mozart Club, which is a ma
tional organization with a large
membership numbered in the thous-
ands, publishes in the current issue
Of "Etude," which has a circulation
OF 100000 copies, a musical puzzle
contributed to the club by Miss
Annie Denmark, of this city, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Willis A. Den
mark, and gives it high editorial
praise. Miss Denmark is one of
tw Give out of the large membership
the distinction of being selected for
publication.
The plant of the Standard Manu-
featuring Company, which has not
been in operation for some time, was
destroyed by fire last Saturday. The
| property belonged to Messrs. J. F.
ISoutherland and D. e. Smith, of this
city, and MI. J. A. Westbrook, of
Mt. Olive, and was valued at SIS, 500,
| which will be a total loss, as there
was no insurance. Mr.. Switzerland
owned three-fourths of the property.
1t is supposed that the buildings
were set on fire by four tramps, two
of whom arrested, the other
two making their escape. The fire
department responded promptly and
did excellent work in saving prop
erty near by.
It will be a source of pleasure to
the many friends, not only personal,
but professional, of DIR. Sam Ed
wards, formerly of this city, but now
of Memphis, Tenn, to have the doc
tor with us for a short stay. The
doctor has been in New York, prac.
ticing in special cases of the eye, ear,
nose and throat at the various New
York hospitals-principally at the
New York Ear and Eye Infirmory
and the Manhattan Eye, Ear, Nose
and Throat Hospitals. He has met
with success and his many friends
and acquaintance here and in this
section who will, no doubt, be GLAD
to see him. He is expected to ar
rive here this week-not later thar
the 18th.
In the guessing contest at Royal.
& Borden's, MI. T. W. Best was the
winner. While the guessing con
that the acknowledgements Royal
& Borden's window would sell fol
$27. Every day since the guessing
week the price has been marked
down from one to two dollars. On
May 5 the price was put at $27 TO
the whole lot, which includes a chin;
closet, sideboard, extension table ant
dining chairs. MI. Best went arount
and took the furniture himself at tn
price which he had guessed and re
ceived a Royal Elastic Felt Mattres
as a premium for guessing the pric
at which the Furniture would sell.
Judge Hugh Humphrey was no
at all in a good humor last Monda,
when he appeared at the door of hi
chamber Of justice. When asked
he had any news he replied that b
performed a marriage ceremony OF
Saturday night about II o'clock 70
a couple who came in on the trail
from Wilson. The Judge said: I"
had retired, but I got up and dressed
: and came down to my Office and hat
to help the groom look up the Regis
ter of Deeds to get the license. Ate
the ceremony the bride and groom
turned and walked out of the offc
and never even said thank you, mucl
less offer to pay for my services.
This is a splendid oppoi tunity to re
mind those who contemplate a voy
age on the matrimonial sea that il
addition to laying aside enough t
buy the license they should also en
close not less than a brand new fv
dollar bill, neatly folded in the pa
pers, for the minister or the justice
if they expect to have good luck.
