Our citizens generally-and electric
patrons in particular will hail
with real joy the material reduction in
the price of lights inaugurated by the
Board OF Public works, effective from
Feb. LIST. This is brought about by the
recent consolidation of power for the
water works and electric light plants.
whereby the cost of operation has boon
greatly reduced and b users of lights
have been given the benefit, as they
should. We go forward.
DR.. j. r. Parker, who with his family
recently moved to this city, from Ber-
tie county and now resides at 3O8 Park
avenue, has fitted up . handsome Office
suite over the City Pharmacy. formerly
McKay's, on Walnut street, and the
same is fully equipped with all the
modern requirements of a physician
and surgeons Office. DR.. Parker has re-
in in New York and the ARGUS,
as it has already before, cordially well
comes him to Goldsboro-thei Best
Town in the State.
Evidently the Republican party OF
Sampson county-that has been in the
ascendency since the days of Fusion,
are getting alarmed for their Office
holdings. A weekly newspaper. the
"News-Dispatch," has just been
launched at it's county seat-Clinton-
with Mr.. Thos. E. Owens as editor and
proprietor. It is all home print, and
presents a neat and newsy appearance
and is neat and newsy. The sub
scription price is 81 per year, and it
starts out with a liberal local adver-
Using patronage. -1 e 9 e y
One of the most efficient and effect
ual means Of accomplishing a Greater
G~oldsboro is through the Building INC
Loan Association, hat is an institution
which our citizens should give b full
est possible support. Every one who
can should subscribe to it's stock and
thus become a helper as a home builde r
and at the same time derive profit from
the investment. The Goldsboro Build
ing and Loan will open their seventh
series OF stock TO subscribers on March
9TH, and the opportunity will be open
only so long as the series lasts.
It will be a source of general and ex-
ceedina regret in this city to learn OF
the death of Capt. A. L. Sasser, whose
critical illness was noted last week.
He died of heart disease Monday
evening, at his home in Fork Town
ship, surrounded in his last mo-
ments by his devoted wife and all his
children, who had been summoned
from their homes in Wilmington, Ra-
leigh, this city and elsewhere, when
the end was recognized as surely APP
preaching. He was one of Wayne
county's most highly esteemed citi-
zens, and full OF years, and rich in the
affections of his tellowmen, he goes to

the legacy OF an honorable name and a
blameless life. The funeral was held
from the home Tuesday afternoon at 8
o'clock, and many from this city went
out to attend it.
It is rather q striking coincidence
that yesterday afternoon the ARGUS
.Fceztained q notice of the death in New
4 York1f Col. Jas. J. Phillips, a Colonel
in EtsesefA Va. Regt. during the war OF
the Seathern Confederacy, and yester-
day afternoons Kinston Free Press
coHSH1Aed a reproduction of the &C
count of a tournament held in that
town in January '64 among the soldier
boys of Virginia and North Carolina in
winter quarters there, on which oc-
casion, the account reads: "the knights
% in number, we're paraded in front O.
the large ~concourse of ladies and gen.
tlemen present and received a mos
beautiful n appropriate charge from
Col. Phillips of the Ninth Virginia
= Regiment" A special train was ru1
from Goldsboro to Kinston on that oc
casion, n perhaps some Of our olde.
citizens may recall the gala event?
