It is with growing pride that the
ARGUS publishes, from time to time,
as the law requires, the statements of
Goldsboro's three banks, such as ap-
pear elsewhere in this issue, and no
citizen can study the ehowings made
by our banks without realizing that
we have indeed a good toWn-the
best town in the Stale.
A fire at Dudley Tuesday g. m.
about 4:30 O'Clock destroyed the barn
and stables Of Mr.. C.. L, O'Berry and
a wood shop used by Mr.. Wiley
Summerlin. In the barn was about
sixty barrels Of corn, some hay and
fodder and three car loads of guano.
BY heroic work Mr.. ONBerry saved
his dwelling from the flames.
AT the close Of the service in st.
Paul M. Il. church Sunday morn
inc there was a voluntary contribu.
ton called for to be used in remodel.
ing and enlarging the edifice, and
more than eight thousand dollar;
was subscribed. The plans for the
work include q Sunday school annex.
and the cost is estimated at ten thous.
and dollars.
It is perfectly natural that outsid.
ers who have capital to invest anC
who L seeking a congenial atmos.
phere in which to live should expect
some manifestation of public spirit
and civic pride from those who are
already residents of a city or town
If the citizens themselves show nc
interest and loyalty in their OWL
town they can scarcely expect Others
from outside to enthuse over it
LEGAL pride and patriotism have {
wholesome influence upon visitor;
and encourage them to recc gniz9 the
good points of a place. Every city
and town is what its citizens choose
to make it. In other words, the peo'
pie make the town. And they very
often unmake it.
