AN IDEAL SITE.
The S. v. Isler Residential Property
The Place For The Hiqh School.

Editor ARGUS:
was glad to see in THE ARGUS, the
other day, a timely and well tempered
communication on the locating of the
High School, soon to be erected in this
city. Your correspondent, however,
while thoroughly correct in the main,
was, think, taking too much 'stime
by the forelock" in advocating the To-
eating of the school centrally on East
and West Center street.
Mr.. Editor, you and land every
one knows that it will be long time
before Railroad street will have sur
cease of passing trains and enjoy that
quiet conclusive to study and that is es-
sential for .imparting instruction in a
school room. Let us, therefore, as a
community not get in the "breakers, -
but with steady and united purpose de-
mand that feasible site be selected
looking to the future of the city-to q
time when its general development
will demand every foot of available
ground for it's march of progress as
Greater Goldsboro.
When that time comes if lhe High
Schoal be not located on commanding
site it will be encroached upon.
Is such a site available? 1t is.
The beautiful residential property OF
Mr.. s. w. Isler, on Walnut street east,
containing four full acres, fronting 325
feet on Walnut street and running back
L.
400 feet; hill. high and naturally
drained, can be had for $1o,500. It is
ideal. 1t is cheap, and, building for all
time, the Board should. mot hesitate to
purchase it. The people will unani-
. mously endorse their action and gener-
ations yet unborn will bless their mem.
ory.. a
| Very truly,
Friend of Progress.

nursed her every night, using all the
remedies we could think Of. Nothing
would help. We then remembered
having heard 80 much about Cuticura
Remedies. We sent for them and after
twentyfour hours we noted considerable
improvement, and, after using only one
complete set of the Cuticura Remedies,
In five consecutive days the little one,
much to our joy, had been entirely cured,
and has been well for q long time. Mrs.

The peculiaritiess Of Echoe.

Even to-day when we understand
the cause of fhe echo, it's fascination
and mystery remain with us. There
is something weird, yet undeniably
attractive, about the fantom voice
that calls back across the hills to us
when we shout, and it is small won
der that the ancients, not knowing
the cause of the phenomenon, sur
rounded it with poetical legends and
fancies.
Among the most noted echoes is
that heard from the suspension bridge
across the Menai Strait, in Wales.
The sound of blow from hammer
on one of the main piers of the
structure is returned in succession
from each Of the cross-beams that

times repeated between the water
and the roadway at the rate Of twenty
eight times in five seconds.
Outside the Shipley church, in Sus-
sex, England, is an echo which re-
peats twenty sylables in the most
remarkable manner. The famous echo

The whispering stone in Statuary
Hall, in the Capitol, at Washington,

person speaking in a whisper near
