procession for the base ball season.
Newbern and Kinston are joining the
league for a series of games, and we
have as intense lovers of the game here
as anywhere. Besides, it is a relaxa-
ton from business cares at a time when
recreation is most needed. Why not
lets get in the push?
The ARGUS calls the attention of its
readers to the changes in the schedule
of the Norfolk & Souther Railway, "a.
& n. CO. that go into effect tomorrow,
under which the morning train going
east leaves here a half hour earlier and
the afternoon train a half hour later.
The travelling public should govern
themselves accordingly.

! JOS. E. Dickerson, Jr., colored, of
Norfolk, editor of the News & Adver-
tiser, of that city, that is devoted to the
uphuilding of The negro along lines of
industry and morality, and is with it's

conditions in our city.
AS the shipment Of truck grows with
the progress of the season the railroads
are taxed for transportation and the
trains are increased in size and number
through this city daily, SO hat East
and West Centre street is a map of con-
%tinuous passing trains, retarding
across-city traffic and intercourse. It
is we'll, in this connection, to remind a
long enduring public that relief is COM
ing with the advent of the new passen-
ger station and the DETECTING Of heavy
trains around the city to the westward.
G~oldsboro owes it to herself to fifty
celebrate Park Day. Such public cele-
brations of local interest engender
larger public spirit and quicken civic
pride, besides bringing all the people
of the community together in a COM
mon cause, and that of itself is calcu-
lated to make broader citizens by
bringing about a general recognition
of interdependence. Let's have a com
munity Half Holiday on Park Day
and let's all turn out in common and
duly celebrate the home occasion.
b A. c.. l.. passenger train from
the South, No. 48, that used to arrive
here at nooG,now comes in at 1857 and
leaves at ITO; and the shoofy at night
from the South now makes connection
at Rocky Mount with a through train
for Norfolk, putting travellers in Nor
folk by that train at 1880 a.. N. This is

along the line, as they can make a
night trip to Norfolk, after business
hours, and return early mex day, or
by a later train in the afternoon.
The peach crop comes forward each
year from beautiful blossoms evident
ly for the sake of being killed. It is
destiny, and a killing in April serves
to shorten the agony. The crop is BORN
to die in an untimely manner and two
cold snaps in April seem to nave done
it up pretty effectually. Commissioner
of Agriculture Hudson of Georgia says
the peach crop has bee seriously
damaged, and kilograms from various
sections of the peach belt put the dam
age at from one-third to total.
Here it is the 22nd of April,-the sea
son of spring, as the months run, al
most two thirds gone-and yet it is like
a November day, today. But there is
no use of commenting on the weather
Or specializing as to the probable arrival
of spring until you see Jim Hollowell's
annual spring poem. In fact. there is
a suspicion gaining prevalence that
Jim is ~disgruntled about something
and that is why he is hnldinn haaL his
