The g4addest thing to get home
this morning from the Asheville
Firemen's tournament was "Pat'
Kings bull dog "Ben Tillman." No
sooner had he touched the ground
that he made a 'sbee line" for home
without waiting for the boys or his
master. Some one stole him in
Asheville and "Pat' had the town
coralled by policemen and special
deputies until 'sBen Tillman" was
found. That is why "Ben" was SO
glad to get home. He doubtless
realized that he came near never
seeing again the Best Town in the
State.
The public examination of teach
ers for the Public Schools of the
county was held on Thursday of this
week, for the white teachers, and on
Friday and this morning for the col

chairman of the county Board of
Education conducting the examina-
tons, owing to the continued illness
of county Superintendent Mr.. E.. T.
Atkinson. The next public exami-
nation will be held on the second
Thursday and Friday of August, at
$3.50 q. NJ, in the court house, for
white and colOred teachers respec-
lively.
The "fre laddies,'' tired and some
what detected, but by no means out
of heart for the future, arrived home
this morning. Goldsboro is proud
of her fire companies, their efficiency,
their patriotism, their distinguished
standing in the State Association.
The Goldsboro companies are more
feared in the tournament than any
other companies in the State, and
they bring back their share of honors
from the Asheville contest, as al
ready published in these columns;
but in the hose wagon contest they
failed, by accident, of the prize, and
the boys will not be satisfied till they
try it again next year.
