An electric railway betting the city
and traversing our streets at
lent intervals, then stretching across
the river and by the Country Club and
on to Seven Springs is, as everybody
readily agrees, just what GOldsbOro
most needs now to improve her trade
and travel and give inspiration and
support to future development. Then
why not let's have the road?

city as permanent residents Mr.. and
Mrs. G.. G.. Gaines and family, of New
f York. Mr.. Gaines is interested with

business. They have rented the cot
tage of Mr.. C. j. Griswold, on William
street, and MI. and Mrs. Baxter, who
formerly resided there, have taken

to reside in her own home at 2OS JOIN

neither individual nor organized effort
is made to secur such a railway. Why
this Indifference? Shall we continue to
supinely procrastinate until it is toe
late.

equipped ladies emporiums in the State,
has secured the services for the season
of Miss johnson from New York, an
t expert designer and trimmer, who

ton from New York's leading millinery

growing trade throughout this section.
