Elsewhere in this issue we publish
an official appeal in behalf of five in
digent Confederate Soldiers. Remem-
Der that he gives twice who gives
quickly. The highest badge OF honor
that history can ever record of any
man, whether past present or future,

der.

pervision OF the plant of the Utility
Manufacturing Company, Goldsboro's
latest industrial enterprise-and one
of the most promising, has arrived,

In point of advantages for the foster
ing of manufacturing enterprises no
town in North Carolina can surpass
Goldsboro. This is not a claim, but a
fact, If capital seeking sites for prof.
table investment were duly informed
as to our city's and facilities
we would indeed, soon realize Greuter
Goldsboro.
A fire of unknown origin Saturday
a. m. at 2 O'Clock destroyed the large
church building of the colored Second
Baptist congregation, over in Eastern
Goldsboro. The fire department was
promptly on the Gene, but the build
ing was so far gone when the burning
was first discovered that by the time
the flames were extingu1shed, there
was little of the frame left. In fact, it
is a complete loss. We did not learn
If If was insured.
DIR. L. J. Herring, veterinarian, a
young gentleman who has been i'm
pressed with Goldsboro as an inviting
field OF professional promise in his de-
partment of science, has located here,
and has his Office with Mr.. Don Scott,
at the Bennett Live Stock Company's
stables on West Centre street north,
opposite the City Hall. The ARGUS
welcomes him to the Best Town in the

There is being erected in Cleveland
county what is claimed to be the hand
soonest court house in the State, and
the Shelby correspondent Of the Char
lotte Observer, in writing of the COM
ing dedication of the building, pays our
distinguished fellow citizen, DIR. G. B.
Aycock, the following high but emil
nently correct compliment: "Ex-Gov.
c.. B. Aycock has accepted the invita-
ton to dedicate the new court house in
June and of all h public menin North
Carolina none are more revered and
loved by the people than this man. He
has never lost in Cleveland county any
of the wonderful charm which drew
the people to him during the amend
ment campaign. The idea of the COM
missioners is to have the fnest build
ing Of it's kind in North Carolina and
to haveitdedicated by the finest speaker
in the State.'
