Goldsboro continues to add city fea-
lures. We have now a resident veteri-
nary surgeon, DIR. t. A. Monk, who
has his headquarters at Edgerton &

and refinement whom the ARGUS is
glad to welcome to the Best Town in
the State.
The tax listers request us to say hat
there is about 1900 or 1000 names now
unlisted out of about 240O. Sixteen
days have passed and there only re-
mains 9 days to complete the listening,
and if everybody waits until the last
day, some may fail to list at all or have
to wait for their turn to come and fail
to get in. Pro~crastination is the thief
of time. hen why wait longer? Come
On and list your taxes or you will be
returned as unlisted.
THE ARGUS is greatly distressed to
hear of the misfortune that has befallen
our good friend Fred Mintz and the
town of Mt. Olive, in the destruction

partial insurance. But both Fred
Mintz and Mt. Olive are of the right
metal, and will soon have their excel
lent paper again to thefront. The ARGUS
plant is at their disposal in the mean
time.

his remains, accompanied by his de-
N. Maxwell, arrived here Monday morn
ing from Salisbury and were borne to
the home here, as his last request, and
the funeral and interment took
place in beautiful Willow Dale ceme-
terry that afternoon at 5 O'Clock. Gabe
Royal was 81 years of age, and had
been married six and a half years. He
was a printer by profession and was
proprietor of a plant in Salisbury. He
served his trade in THE ARGUS office,
and went from here to the Spanish
woman, but brave as a lion, true in his
friendships and honorable in all his
