Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1904-03-17

Miss Florence Lyon, formerly of
this city, who has been taking a full
three years course as trained nurse at
the Marsh Highsmith Hospital in
Fayetteville, graduated with full
honors on the first of this month and
is ready for service in her chosen
calling. Miss Lyon stands very high
as a nurse of remarkable efficiency,
and is, besides, a charming, lovely
young lady.
The steamer "Goldsboro," of the
Neuse River Navigation Company,
arrived at her wharf Sunday from
NeWbern with a cargo of merchan-
disc, and is loading this afternoon
with so tons Of fertilizer for mer-
chants atSeven Springs. The "Golds-
-boro'' is in fine shape and could be
made a valuable adjunct to our city's
wholesale trade if our merchants
would only come together and will
it so.
A railroad to Seven Springs, such
as it is proposed to build, would meet
the approval of almost everybody.
1T would not only prove ahelp to
the business of Goldsbero, but it
would be a convenience to the gen.
eral public by affording quick trans
portation to the Springs that would
not fail Of appreciation and liberal
patronage. Build the railroad and
let's call aboard for Seven Springs"

name Of new firm which will soon

goods exclusively, and Messrs. Crow

Capt. w. L.. Morris, who for many
years has been running as passenger
conductor on the South Florida Rail
road, which recently passed under
the control of the Atlantic Coast Line,
has been transferred to this end Of
line, running into Norfolk, and ar
rived last week to assume his run,
leaving for NOrfolka at last Thursday.
He will 500 move his family here
and make Goldsboro his home. This
is indeed glad news to all of their
friends in this city, where a cordial
welcome awaits their return to their
old home.
A thing which seems hard for a
great many people to understand is
why does the board of aldermen of
the city of Goldsboro continue 10 let
the old Great Eastern remain right
under the shadow of the handsome
new city hall. The old building is
dilapidated and an eye-sore and is
certainly not kept there on account
of its appearance. With half of the
Notwithstanding torn off one side it
can be no use whatever to its pro-
prietOr. There should be some way
to get rid of it.
In the opinions handed down last
week by the State Supreme Court
is n granting a new trial to Dan
Teachey, a white man of Duplin
county, who has for several months
been confined in the Jail here under
sentence of death for the murder of
Robert Rivenbark, of the above
county, last spring. The Supreme
Court also confirms the death SEN
tence of the negro Daniels for the
murder of MI. F. G.. Simmons, the
father of Hon. F. M. Simmons.
Mr.. Isaiah Seymour dropped dead
at the pillow handles on his farm in
Saulston township Thursday after
noon. He had always been a farm

died liz the pursuit of his honorable
vocation. He had lived in the neigh
borhood in which he died for over
fifty years and had reached the adj
vanced age of four score and two. He
leaves a large family of grown up
children, besides a large circle of
relatives and friends to mourn his
death.
Mr.. David A. Smith, who shot at
Mr.. Henry Brown with a shot gun
near Pikeville Thursday morning,
was brought to this city by Sneritf

hurst. He gave bond with Mr..
