Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1907-03-28

Mr.. Albert Bassett, the ef6cien
superintendent of Goldsboro's com
modious Knitting Mill, is confined t,
his home with an attack of the grip, W,
are very sorry to chronicle.
The Saturday trade of Goldsboro, al
the year round, is the best indication
by it's immense volume. of how th,
country people of this county appreci
ate their county seat and favor it will
their patronage.
With b coming of the new unior
passenger station and the DETECTING o.
all trains around instead of through
the city, an electric railway naturally
suggests itself as a profitable enter.
The G~oldsboro Transfer Company
has changed hands, Messrs. T.. J.. Far
rior & Brother ha wing bought it from
Mr.. JAS. Lewis, who has resumed his
former position in the freight fife o
the Atlantic Coast Line here.
Three express cars loaded with let
tuce, onions. asparagus and other ear
ly vegetables, came up on the noon
train today Of the Atlantic Coast Line.
and these were added to here, destin-
ed to northern markets..
It is expected that trains from this
city will run through again to Beau
fort tonight, as the lost draw, weigh
ing IS tons, that fell while being opened
some days ago and disappeared in the
sound, has been recovered and placed
in position, and will probably be in
working order tonight.
1t is no longer near spring. Spring
is already here, and ARGUS readers are
looking expectantlyf for Jim Holloweu's
annual spring poem, in order that
they may be fully assured tina spring
time is here to stay, and that they may
get ready to go fishing.
Mr.. r. c. Freeman, who is quite a |
successful chicken raiser, says that he
has now the finest yard of Brown Leg
horns ever seen in these parts. And
Nj. Freeman is not the only one here
bouts ow-although he is the pioneer
who are giving attention to raising
chickens and eggs.
Mr.. A. A. Joseph, the popular gents
under the Hotel Kennon who
been on an extended purchasing
trip north, where he bought a full
line Of the spring and summers best
IN gentlemen's veal is at home
again, and is now busy receiving and
his new goods.
The central committee of the Baptist
Woman's Missionary Union of North
have selected Goldsboro as tbe
place for the annual meeting of the
Union, and it will conven here on
April 9th, and continue it's sessions
through the 18th. The sessions will be
leld in the First Baptist church. Colds
ooro will welcome them gladly.
Every one who has seer the plans
or the Union Passenger Station for
5oldsboro is greatly pleased with them. :
nd it is therefore safe to presume that (
Corporation Commission will an (
them. So we may expect the (
work to begin real SOON. :
before b end of the year all trains
Ill be delivering their passengers in a
omfortable and commodious station. I
go forward.
Not only would an electric railway
r G~oldsboro prove a profitable invest
lent in itself and inestimably add to n
re retail and wholesale trade of Colds D
pro, but would, by furnishing an ever d
motor current, foster innumer- IL
'le small manufacturing enterprises
the community that in the aggregated
ould give profitable employment to
lndreds of skilled employees. It is n
2 such industries that big cities are a
Tilt n maintained. Let's have a :
-eater Goldsboro. :
AS it costs nearly nine cents a pound
make cotton in these days of high
Iced mules and supplies, and labor,
Is certainly hazardous to overplantI
The extra acres should be out
corn, and but an average crop of
ton should be planted. This is the
Use OF the situation when ali gam
ng on the size Of the total crop is put
de-. No farmer should go this yearly
OF his way to increase unduly his
ton acreage. It is risky to do other-
70, and no farmer should base his
of the year unon oCDd;+ior. -.
ich he has no control.
