The proceeds are to be devoted to
the funds for building a new Sunday
School room to the church. The
time and place for giving the enter
will be announced later.
Capt. S. G. Frye, who has for sew
eral years been running as conductor
on the Southern between here and
Greensboro, will go into the hotel
business in Greensboro. He has,
with Mr.. Marion Cobb, of Raleigh,
leased the Hotel Guilford, and these
two popular and well-knOwn gentle
men will conduct that popular hos
t4Iry in the future.
A horse hitched to a cart loaded
with wood attracted quite a good
deal Of attention aturdayaboutnoon.
The animal became frightened and
a down John street to the First
Baptist church. The vehicle struck
the corner of the church and scatter
ed the wood in every direction. The
horse eXtricated himself from the We
hicle and proceeded down the street
at a rapid rate.
Ex-Sherif B. F. Scott, of Pike
vile, was i'll the city Monday, and re-
ports the condition of Mr.. Albritton,
the policeman of his town who was
assaulted and so severely cut by a
party of negroes last Saturday was a
week ago, one of whom he shot and
instantly killed, is not SO favorable.
The balance of the as>aulting negroes
are now in Jail here awaiting trial.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Pender have
issued invitations to the marriage of
their daughter Miss Mary to Mr..
w. E. Hales, the happy event to
take place at the home of the brides
parents on the Dist of April. The
prospective groom holds a position
as book keeper for the John Slaugh-
ter Company and the bride-to-be is
we'll known and popular among her
wide circle OF friends.
If the people votefavorably on the
proposition to issue bonds for the
Seven Springs railroad-and almost
everybody seems to be in favor of
the propOsition-it will only be a
short while before one can leave here
on Saturday afternoon and spend
Sunday at the Springs and return
home Sunday night. Just think of
the convenience. The trip cal be
made so much more easily than now.
The speaking at Seven Springs on
Saturday in favor of the bond issue
for the Seven Springs railroad was
attended by a large and enthusiastic
crowd despite she bad weather.
Messrs. w. G. Munroe and E. A.
Humphrey made interesting speeches
and the large crowd in attendance
were unanimously in favor of the
proposition. The road will be a
great benefit to Seven Springs as
we'll as to GoldsborO.
Mr.. Fred r. Mintz, the bright and
progressive young editor of Mount
olives new enterprise, the "Mount
Olive Tribune" mention of which
we have already made, was in the
city last week, hustling for advertise
ments and subscribers. The Tribune
will prove a valuable advertising
medium for Goldsboro's retail trade,
as the people who read it all through
the country frequently visit Colds
boro-and always buy something
when they come.
Mr. Louis WE'LL, of Rockingham,
father of the prospective groom, Mr.
Chas. Louis WE'LL, a student at
Chapel Hill, Mr.. Will WE'LL, of
Charlotte, brothers OF the groom, Mr..
M. III. Fowlkes, of Rockingham,
and Messrs. Dan Picard and Sam
Wolfe, of Atlanta, were in the city
Sunday TO attend the betrothal re-
ception in honor of Mr.. Vance WE'LL
and Miss Julia Cohen, at the home
of the. BRIDES parents, MI. and Mrs.
Jacob Cohen, Sunday afternoon.
The people of Go1dsboro distinctly
remember how the Atlantic Coast
Lines railroad shops were carried to
Rocky Mount when the Fayetteville
Short Cut was started from Wilson
instead of Goldsbofo. This city was
the logical and the most practical
place for locating the shops and they
would have been built here if the
Short Cut had been started from this
point. There is a proposition now
to build a railroad TO Seven Springs.
The opportunity for Goldsboro is as
great now as it was when the Short
Cut was built. It does not look reas-
enable that the voters of Goldsboro
will repeat the mistake they made
when they refused to make an effort
to secure the Short Cut. If Colds
boro does not secure the railroad
other towns are anxious for it and
they will get it.
AS a result of the revival services
now in vogue in the Second Baptist
church six converts joined the
church at the Sunday night service
and two others on Monday night
and several others expressed interest
in their spiritual welfare. Rev. J..
d. Parker, of Durham, who is as
sisting the pastor, Rev. J. B. Jack
son, in the series of meetings, is
a preacher of much force and earnest
