QUIET DAY ON THE
if8 PRODUCE MARKET.

The receipts of country produce and fruits
on Cary Street were smaller yesterday than
the commission men expected. but large
enough to meet the limited demand. IA,ere
were no material changes In prices, EXCEPT
that the larger receipts Of bananas cut the
figures down to sixty to sevcnty-hve cents
per bunch. Potatoes are also somewhat
lower and the best quality is now selling
for 81 to s150 per barrel. 3IT
Watermelons were not in such large re-
ceipt yesterday. and the figures went up a
| fraction = w hoeealers readily got SIS to $40
per hundred for them. Canteloupes were a
shade cheaper. %
Chickens and eggs were steady at former

boro graded chool has been out of Or
der for several days, and the firm that
put it in have senta man here to divine
the trouble. He arrived yesterday, and
finds that the pipes have become choked
by SCOT and ashes, and that it will re-

GUARANTEED STOMACH REMEDY.
j. H. Hill & Son Will Refund Money
if Mi-O-nd Fails to Cure.

You may ask why it is that Mi-o-na
stomach tablets are sold by J. III.
Hill & Son under a guarantee to re-
fund the money unless they cure,
when no other treatment for stomach
troubles is sold in this manner.
The answer is simple and conclu-
sive.
Other medicines for stomach trou-
bles merely digest the food, while
Mona strengthens the whole diges-
tive system SO that it soon becomes
able to care for all the food that is
eaten.
If you do not use your arm or leg
for a month the muscles became iabby
and weak and you have to resort to
artificial help. 1t is the same way
with the stomach muscles If they
are not used, they become SO weak
that it is necessary to continue using
a digestive with the food you eat.
On the other hand, when you use
Mi-o-na, your stomach soon grows SO
strong that you can give up the use
of medicine.
Mi-o-na costs soc a box and does
more real good than q dozen boxes of
ordinary digestive tablets. The proof
of this is shown in the fact that a
guarantee, absolute and unqualified,
is given by j. H. Hill & Son with
every box of Mona.

are not allowed to get in such condi-
ly. In the meantime, however, let's
not lose sight of that other and highly
commendable suggestion Of bonding
the county for the construction of per-
manent iron bridges and better roads.
The G~oldsboro Woman's Club GER
tainly deserve the highest mead of
praise for the splendid circulating
free library they have established in
Goldsboro, and by their assiduous and
interchangeable efforts have built up into
really goodly proportions and supple
mented by travelling libraries' all
the county, independent of the country
district school libraries, in which
Wayne county leads the State-which,
too, is largely due to the Woman's
Club. The club are preparing for an
other public book reception at an early
day, and the ARGUS bespeaks for them
a generous patronage.
At $3.50 yesterday afternoon at the
home of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred C. Overman, in this city,
their lovely daughter Miss Berta, and
Mr.. Tom Wood, nephew of Mr.. James
NJ. Wood, Of this county, were united
in the holy bonds of wedlock, in the
presence of the Immediate families of
he contracting parties and a small cir
Gle of their especial friends, Rev. E. H.
Davis, pastor of st. Paul M. E. church,
officiating. The ARGUS joins the happy
and popular young couple many friends
in wishing them length Of days and the
fullest measure of prosperity and hap
piness.

CUTICURA REMEDIES
WORTH WEIGHT IN GOLD

"I cannot help expressing to you my
most sincere thanks for the benefit
which I nave derived from the use of
Cuticura Remedies. They represent d
perfect miracle and each set is worth
its weight in gold to suffering humanity
Ever since the time I grew into man

eruption which at times appeared very

a limited degree, on my body. / con
suited a number Of medical men without
result, and last January I was affected
with a terrible eruption on my hands,
scalp, and face, which was so bad that [
could not even leave the house, so 1
finally resorted to Cuticura.
In the morning after breakfast I
took a tablespoonful of Cuticura Re-
solvent, the same after dinner and
supper. Three times a day [ washed
myself with Cuticura Soap, and three
times a week I took a hot bath with
Cuticura Soap and applied Cuticura

resent an outlay of only a few dollars

CONTRACT AWARDED.
MI. I. ]. RUSSELL the Successful
Builder for Annex at Orphan
Home,

The ARGUS a already noted the
meeting in special session of the Board
of Trustees of the Odd Fellows Orphan
Home here, on Monday, for the pur-
pose of awarding the contract for en-
largement of the dining room of the
Home and some other improvements.
The contract for this building was
awarded to Mr.. t. J. Russell, the we'll
known and reliable contractor and
builder of this city, and the contract
for equipping with sewerage connec
tions the new building, recently con-
structed for the aged and INDECENT of
the order, was awarded to The John
Slaughter Company.
A second assistant matron was elect
ed by the Board, the selection going to
Miss Barbara Nicholson, a sister of
the assistant Matron, and her duties
will begin tomorrow.
The Home is in most excellent con-
dition under the splendid management
eff superintendent J, F. Brinson, and
cannot be other than a pride and graft
fication to every true Odd Fellow.

MORE BISHOPS NEEDED.

The next general conference of the
Methodist church south is nearly three
and a half years ahead, and already
more than one-half Of the number of
bishops are out Of service. Bishops
Smith and Tigert lie in honored graves.
Bishops CRANBERRY and Fitzgerald are
superannuated. Bishops Key and Nor
rison are quite old, and Bishop Wilson
has been in the ~episcopacy a quarter of
a century. Bishop Hendrix is a suf-
ferer from heart trouble. Bishop Dun
can is severely i'll, and Bishop Gallo
way is affected with a chronic malady.
AT the best, the labors of supervision Of
d widespread and growing church fall
upon Bishops Hendrix, Gambler, Hoss,
Ward and Atkins. The work is more
than five men can attend to, even if
Bishops Hendrix and Gambler ramain
in vigorous health.
1t is indeed probable that a called
session of the general conference will be
held soon.

asking the proper authorities to give
the county a road or bridge commits
sioner. Give us a man who has sufficient
Judgment to examine the bridges in the
county, know when they need repair
ing, and have it properly done, with as
little cost to the taxpayers as possible.
To show your readers the condition
of the bridges in the county First,
we have seven across Neuse river.
Cox's bridge, in the western part of the
county, was impossible for Q III months
two years ago not in good shape now.
Quaker bridge, next, has not been in
good condition for a great while. Toler
bridge, next, has been under repair for
three months, and today can't be called
in good condition. The Lattice bridge,
which was condemned a few weeks
ago,we hope is in good condition now.
The Arlington bridge would surprise
you, to go under 1t, and see the danger
to the travelling public.
The ~Broadhurst and White Hall
bridges the writer's have not seen in
some time. Besides the seven Neuse
river bridges, we suppose there are at
least forty or fifty more county bridges.
Mr.. Editor, the country people need
some attention, as it will soon be time
to haul fertilizers, and at the rate Of re-
pairing roads and bridges of the county
now, it will be a hardship for them to
haul their supplies.
1t strikes me it will be much better
to take our taxes and build good roads
and bridges, instead of increasing sala-
ries of every public official from the
governor to county superintendent,
Our legislators seem to have gone wild
over the increase in salaries.
Very truly,
A CITIREN.
