be located at the west end of Walnut

convenient and beaut1ful-ln fact,
they show a building altogether to
be desired, and one that will meet the
approval of every progressive citizen.
The Atlantic Coast line have the build
ing in charge, and it is safe to say
that work will begin at an early day,
and when the commodious brick struc-
ture, two stories high, with granite
trimmings and artistic proportions, is
completed it will indeed be a credi to
the Best Town in the State. We go
forward.
At the annual meeting yesterday af-
ternoon of the''Needle Work Guild" of
which Mrs. w. II. Borden is president,
and which has for its laudible purpose
the collecting of articles for the Colds
boro Hospital, there were PIP articles
handed in, consisting of sheets, pillow
cases, towels, wearing garments, coun-
terpans, etc., and $40 in cash. All of
which were given over to the Hospital
management. The public spirited
women who constitute this Guild are
greatly encouraged by yesterdays gen.
erous contributions. The next meeting
of the Guild will be one year hence.
The town of Mt. Olive, this county,
and one Of the very best towns in the
State, has inaugurated the "Curfew
Law" Goldsboro would do we'll to
follow suit. There are scores of boys
that nightly congregate about the hotel
- - IL III; +-oo+ 49, r-ho
should never be away from home after
fsupper unless on an emergency GRAND.
The "Curfew Law" would at least drive
these boys from the streets and hotel
lobbes, and might cause them to remain
at home and spend their evenings in
reading interesting and improving
books, that they could readily obtain
from the Goldsboro Public Library of
the Woman's Club.
When every farmer in the south sees
a CROP exceeding thirteen million bales
selling at ter cents as a minimum spot
price, regardless of he price of futures
in the New York cotton exchange
when he sees that fact and has
IL 1O a. oLSO
that an average crop of about eleven
million bales would bring perhaps
twelve Or even fifteen cents a pound.
An average crop therefore be-
comes the basis Of his planting. He
pitches his crop in the hope n ex-
pectation that an average crop will be
made. The fertilizer movement is
heavy, and the cotton acreage promises
to be of a like nature. What one
f farmer does many may reasonably be
expected to do, and there is really
great reason for fearing that a great
; crop will be planted.
Yes, spring is here-there "ain't
no" Cub about it now. One Of its
unfailing h~arbingers twas seen on the
street today. He-the harbinger was
a man-had a new Ratchet and a paper
bag full of nails, a new hoe and some
packages that looked like garden seed,
} and he was going home to mend the
fence, plant the garden, and otherwise
get busy wherewith to feed and fatten
his neighbors' chickens. Indeed, with
what ~ephemeral exuherance doth the
average male citizen sally forth in the
first days of springs ethereal mild
ness" to '.hoe the garden" until his
: back aches and his hands are blister
ed and with what a sublime confidence
in natures scheme of things doth he
carefully place the seediIin the earth
and wait for it to grow! Then when
F the tender green shoots begin to ap-
pear, fate sends the neighbors' chick
ems to desolate his garden while he is
away at business and his wife at
"Bridge," and all he ever gets out OF
it is experience and -well-perhaps
we had better leave him to express
himself.
), All trains between Morehead City
and Beaufort have been indefinitely an
nulled, owing to the loss yesterday
evening Of the 20 foot draw in the Rail
road bridge spanning the arm Of the
sound between those two towns. The
casualty occurred while the draw was
being opened for the passing of a YES
sci: the guy ropes broke just as the
heavy draw was over the open space
and the 20 foot section toppled over into
: the sound, where there is 40 feet OF
> water and a fierce tide, and disappear
ed completely. Even if the section is
. found it will take sometime to recover
and replace it, and. should it not be re-
: covered it will take longer to build the
. draw anew: so that in either case it will
> be a while before trains will be run
: ming again to Beaufort. In the mean
