r. P. Howell and N. O'Berry leading
the noted tex hunts of the Mecklenburg

ing "brushes." We would have ex-
peeted this of Capt. How ell, who is Ito

lead a fsx chase.
DIR. C. E. Malone, of the we'll known
and popular dental firm of Fl all & Ma
lone, sustained a.serious fracture Of his

the moll on Ash street between John
and William, when his wheel struck
an octagon soap box that had either
been carelessly or purposely moved
from where it had tor some time
been lying on the moll and placed
in the path. It was dark and DR..

an extremely critical condition. and
was operated upon by Drs. J, Rainey

as the only one of note, for the hospi-
tai has had many remark able success
in operative cases, but simply to empha
size anew the pridetul fact that the
Goldsboro Hospital and Goldsboro's
complement of capable physicians can
care for any operative patient or case
of sickness with every assurance that
any Hospital in the land could give.
