way to insure people against any pos
ysib1e disease,
The special school tax election over
in Fork township is going to be over
whelmingIy carried, and this means a
great stride forward for that splendid
farming section of our equity.

of business in the history of the town.
We go forward.
The friends of Mr.. Lea Barnes in
this city will be interested to know

come back"

Mr.. T. B. Parker, an old Goldsboro
boy, and a man with the courage OF
his convictions under all circumstances
and whose convictions, so tar as we
have known him, have always been
along right lines-is a candidate for
Commissioner of Agriculture before the
next State Democratic convention. A
better a one more conYersant with

for the place, could hardly been found
within the borders of our
wealth.
The ARGUS recently noted the signal
success of a worthy and highly es-

q dozen Southern States. At least two
of these Chief Executives came out in
public statements warmly commencing
the play for it's historical accuracy and
it's power for good. When conserva-
tive thinking men like Swanson, of
Virginia, Glenn, of North Carolina,
and Lanham, Of Texas, take pleasure
