Mr.. Frank L. Castex, who is homt
again from his commercial travels, and

walled IN during his absence, is with
in his bailiwick, and he is demanding
of the city authorities that the streets
immediately approaching the Parl
entrance be put in condition ereditabl'
to Goldsboro in the ayes of the thous

sommends his position mt we hop'
the authorities will act promptly il
this matter-without another days de
