It now seems that two big circuses-es
are heading this way, Buffalo Bills
Wild West and the famous and superb
"Carl Hagenbeck and the Great Wal
lace Shows Combined, than which
there is nc more splendid and marvel
Gus combination in the world. Should
the great show visit Goldsboro, all our
people and the readers of the ARGUS
throughout its wide circulation in the
territory that favor Goldsboro with
their trade, are advised to take a day
off and visit this exhibition, for Mr..
w. e. Franklin is associated with it's
management, and he would not give
his service to a combination that was
not absolutely the best.
