1t is almost generally conceded
that since The Arlington Hotel has
undergone repairs aud received an
attractive new coat of paint it is one
of the handsomest buildings in the
city. 1t attracts the eye of the travel
ing public especially and is often
spoken of by them as a beautiful
structure.
Mr.. M. M~ansoar, the Walnut
street merchant, is having d change
made to the front part of his store
which will add very much to its ap-
pearance. In addition to other ex-
tensiVe improvements he will also
put in a glass front. GOidSboro has
several S 4rian merchants, and they
are all quiet, ~peaceabIe, laW-abiding
people aud make good citizens.
The suit which has been going on
in NeWbern to annui the lease of the
A. d N. q. RaiirD BAD to the Rowland
Improvement Company was not
argued in Newbern Saturday as was
expected, as the limit of the court
would not allow the lawyers the de-
sired time to argue the case. The
case will therefore be argued before
Judge Long at Newbern on the 18th
of March. Much interest is ~centered
in the outcome.

taken to his home, where he received
medical attention. We are glad t

painful, are not serious.
few days ago there was cOnfinet
in the city calaboOSe an old Irishman
and n of our cops went down be
low where he was quietly sitting il
his cell enjoying a smoke from hi
old corn-cob pipe, and undertook t
guy him for pastime. The old Irish
man answered a few questions, the
asked one: Says he, "And l under
stand that we heve a dry town here?'
"And 50 we have! J" answered tn
policeman. Says the Irishman
"Faith an eff ye hav' pray tell M
what the divil makes yer breatl
smell so much like a distiIiery? p
The policeman looked around to Sc
if any lit heard it, then sneaked on
without making any reply, and til
old Irishman lit his pipe and smoked
away again.
