We regret to ~chronicleIthe critical
illness of Mrs. Geo. Rackley, of pneu-
monia, at their home in this city.
In conversation with Mr.. b. w. Ed
wards, of Snow Hill, ex-sherif Of
Greene county and one of the leading
that Snow Hill is assuredly to have
one railroad in the very near future,
coming from Kinston-the Hines
Brothers road-and another later,
passing through-the Raleigh & Pam
1ico.F He said that Goldsboro is the
trading point and market town
for Snow Hill; out that now this trade
will follow the railroad. Very true,
and Goldsboro permitted al.golden OPP
portunity to pass her by when she de-
clined to foster the proposed.Goldsboro
and Snow Hill road, some years ago.
more golden opportunity pass if we
fail to arouse ourselves and cater to the
building of an electric road to Seven
Springs. Shall we wait, supinely, till
this opportunity is passed and flashes
back at us 'ttoo late''?
Every day emphasizes to the obser-
want citizen who has G~o1dsboro's de-
velopment at heart, the advantage s
that would be derived to the city by an
electric line betting the city and extend
ing to Seven Springs. Every progressive
town of commercial advantages n
ambition in the South is actively
catering for the development of rural
electric railways for the fostering of the
rural retail trade and market COM
modities. Will Goldsboro get herself
together and get busy for the securing
of this vital essential to Greater Colds
boro before the opportunity shall have
like SO many others-passed us by?
Before a large and cultured audience
in the Woman's Club last night Mr..
and Mrs. Wade Brown, Of the musical
| department of the Baptist Female Uni
/ versity Of Raleigh, gave a recital in
the songs and music Of Shakespeare
that was in every feature most de-
lightful, bringing their literary and
appreciative audience in closer touch
with the immortal "Bard of Avon"
and to a keener realization of his mani
fold genius. Mr.. Brown, with master
ly touch, rendered the accompani-
ments on the piano, supplemented with
a most interesting researchful analyti-
cal lecture on the musical features of
Shakespeare, while Mrs. Brown, with
a voice of wonderful compass, and mo-
bility for expression that seemed des-
tined for this very work of interpret
ing the genius Of the great poet, rend-
cred the songs that had been selected
for the evenings programme. The
Weman's Club are doing a great work
for Goldsboro: they have given many
fine and varied entertainments; but
nothing yet given has surpassed that
of Mr.. and Mrs, Brown last night, nor
has any been more thoroughly appre-
ciated or literally patrenized.

Inc meeting has been called for sever

said, 1t has been called to discuss and
probably take action upon the ruIns
recently issued by Grand Worthy
president Theodore A. Bell of Colifor.

President Bells order for the closing
Of the buffetS where LIQUOR has been
dispensed was received by State Dep

10 the aerieS of the State Pres. Bells
order apples only to the State of
Maine Its issuance was brought about,
no doubt, by the prosecution of the
officers of some of the aeries in the
state on the charge of violations of
the prohibitOry law. In the aeries
where the buffets have been conducted
strictly in accordance with the rules
Of the order and the laws of the State
there is naturally considerable feeling
over the order which. so far as they.
know, means the discoatinuance of all
the buffets
All the details Of this matter will be
discussed at the meeting in Waterville.
Friday. and the meaning of the order
issued by Pres. Bell will be fully ex-
planned. Many other matters pertaining
to the interests of the Fraternal Order
of Eagles in Maine are booked for dis
cussiOn at this meeting. One of them
is the matter of a State convention or
association, entered into by all the
aerieS in the State, after the manner Of
the organizations effected by the aeries
in other states. The general welfare
of the order. increased membership and
tance will be discussed, and the meet
ing is looked upon by local Eagles as
very important one.

that morning it was duly passed to

on his way. Hardly daring to leave the
coveted treasure in the station or in
