If you would like to 60 hunting
and haven't the time to leave your
business for any great length of time,
possibly you might find the sport
you are looking in that wilderness of
weeds, bushes and grass on the
Pythian lot on John street. We are
not quite sure you will find any
bears, squirrels or quail, but better
take your gun along in case you come
in contact with a few rattlers Or moe
casins.
The GoldsbOrO Tobacco Ware
houses, for the sale of leaf tobacco,
will open up for the season to-mor-
row morning, and the indications
are that 0 number of loads will be
offered for sale. The crop is said to
be short in this section, nevertheless
our buyers have made every ar
rangement for the handling of the
weed whether in large or small
quantities. Aud our farmers who
favor Goldsboro by bringing their
tobacco here are assured of the very
highest market price.
In spite of the excessive rainsmos-
q~uitoes have been conspicuous by
their absence this month. If the
pesky insect is heard now and then
it seems to be less vicious than OF
old. We account for the scarcity of
mosquitoes by the strict attention
that IS given to yards where stand
ing water might naturally be found.
Our people have found out thatthese
water pools are mosquito breeders
and are evidently looking after their
premises and keeping them clean.
There is really no excuse of mosqui-
toes being bred in this or any city.
Our people are a good hearted and
as charitably disposed people as aver
lived, and their attention has only to
be called to an object of charity and
the needed relief is quickly and
cheerfully supplied, and for this
reason we take occasion to say that
there's living on North John street,
near the old Emergency Hospital, a
man and his family, by the name OF
B. B. Blackburn, that is an object o.
charity and would appreciate any
thing in the way of groceries, money
or anything needed for family use,
Mr.. Blackburn, who is q hard work
ing and industrious man, has
been confined to his bed with fever
for some time and his wife is also
sick and unable to work, and they
have a number of small children de-
pendent upon them for support. We
trust they may receive the needed
relief.
