h ARGUS was glad to greet in this
city today Mr.. G. H. Mebane, of State
Superintendent Joyner's Office, who
was on his way to attend the meeting
Of county superintendents, at More
head.
The attendance at court yesterday
and today has beer the largest in

Taken all in all, considering the ex-
p~eriencss Of other towns and sections

tie to this, get together and &C for

The ARGUS chronicles with pleasure
and this will be shared in by his hosts
OF friends that Mr.. Geo. A. Norwood ,Jr.,

ten days by fever, is making s%at1fac-
terry progress towards recovery, and
his attendant physician thinks he will
be out again in a few days.
Work on the criminal docket in our
Superior Court is progressing and
many petty eases have been speedily
disposed Of, thereby saving cost to the
axpayer of the county. His Honor,

not with such a rush az to obviate due
consideration or defect justice.
OF course the weather is depressing
on business-and the rains are render
distressing, consequently it is in order
for business men to have the blues
We suggest, as an effective msasuss
for making a rift in the clouds, an ad-
vertisement in the ARGUS the paper
that is read by most everybody every
day whe trades in Gsldsbore. Try it.
