Mrs. D. Mac N. Mackay and Miss
Eunice Johnson, of Mackay's Millinery
Parlors, have gone to New York to
make a special study of fall styles and
to purchase the latest creations in head
wear for their large army of customers.
Miss Eta Spier, who has so long
filled a position in the faculty of the
G%oldsboro Graded School, has rendered
her resignation, to accept a chair IN the
faculty of the State Normal School at
Greensboro. This information will be
read with real regret in every home in
Goldsboro.
In addition to the large number of
Goldsboro people who are already at
the exposition, a delegation of about
two hundred left on the early morning
train, In the crowd were Mr.. and Mrs.
J.. Schwab and daughter, Miss Beatrice,
Mrs. J. Wash Bizzell, Mrs. d. j. Broad
hurst, Misses Annie Baker, Clara Spi-
Ger, Mary Scott Munroe, d Cohn aud
Mayme Edwards.
Messrs. G.. G.. Royal and Jno. l..
Borden, the noted furniture men of the
State, are off to Wrightsville to attend
the annual meeting of the North Caro-
lima Retail Furniture Dealers Associa-
ton. And in this connection, we note
OF the banquet programme that Mr..
Royal responds to one Of the leading
topics. It goes without saying that he
will sustain his own personal reputa-
ton and that of the Best Town in the
State.
His many old friends here, who re-
member him so pleasantly, are glad to
greet in the city Mr.. viii Hinson, an
old G~oldsboro boy, now a successful
hardware merchant in Alabama. Will
is the guest of his brother, Mr.. Giles
Hinson, and is remembered as one Of
the best cornet players Goldsboro has
ever produced: and in his day Colds
boro had the best band in the State;
and he thinks, as the ARGUS does, that
we ought to have a band at present. 1t
is now up to Professor" Leopold
Cohen to make good.
A double funeral is taking place at
Elm street M. E. chapel, in this city,
this afternoon, as we go to press, and
the deaths are of unusual sadness.
The dead are two young mothers, first
cousins. The one was Mrs. Geo. EN-
met Vinson, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
D. A. King, formerly of this city, but
now of Richmond, where her death oc-

The other was Mrs. J.. B. Quartermus,

Jack Vinson, of this city, whose death
occurred at her home here yesterday
afternoon, leaving a heart-broken hus-
band and baby, six months old, a de-
voted mother and two sisters. The

Rev. E. II. Davis, pastor OF st. Paul
