There is no denying the fact that one
ofthe hest friends town has Is the
cheerful booster who spends his money
in his home town. The man who brings
other peoples money to town is alss
real benefit to the town. But the man
who brings other peoples money TO
town and also spends his money IN his
home is the better of the two.

Daniels, who was considered critically
i'll at his home here yesterday even
ing. is more favorable today. Her

from LAGRANGE, where his firm the
Ideal Hardware Company, of this city
was awarded the contract by the Rouse
Banking Company to fit up their new
bank with modern hardware, which is
indeed highly complimentary to this
Goldsboro firm rs it had to over
come competitive bids from wholesale
hardware houses of Washington, Nor
folk and Richmond.
With good corn and forage crops in
this section, which always indicate
good meat supply, our farmers have
little reason to worry over the pro-
longation of the pending incomprehen.
sible panic" It is folly to venture
predictions as to the day OF re-sction
but people who make their ewn food
supplies are prepared to tuck theil
cotton money in their inside pock cts
and can afford to wait patiently until
the wheel that slipped q cog regains
its adjustment.
The prices paid for tobacco on this
market today surpass anything ever
known since our warehouses were es-
tablished. It was not an occasional
pile, of superior weed, that sold high
but the run OF the floor was simply
phenomenal and all those who had
tobacco on sale are jubilant. The farm.
ers everywhere have fully realized thai
Gold sboro is the best tobacco market
prices paid today the breaks were
unusually large.
Have you ever known the ARGUS tc
fail in any of its claims for Goldsboro-
or Goldsboro ever to fall short of any
reasonable expendancy of the Bes1
Town in the State? We have claimed
chat G Goldsboro is the be tobacco mar
ket in the State. Yesterday Mr.. D. L.
Smith, Of Lenoir county, sold on this
market 1,1s1 pounds of tobacco, run
of crop just as taken from the barn
and it netted him a check of $316.
This is just one instance Of many that
sustain our claim for the Gem City OF
the Plain.
