The new registration for the
street Improvement bond election will
open June 2. 1t is to be expected that
the vote for bonds, which means a
vote for Greater Goldsboro, will be as
unanimous as the registration.
Miss Lila Broadhurst returned
home this morning from Americus,
Ca, bringing with her the three chill
dren of her brother, Mr.. Rowland
Broadhurst, where they will make
their home for the present with their
grandparents.
Some of as fine strawberries as
have ever been exhibited on this mar
ket were shown here today by Mr..
John V. Sherard, fine farmer of the
Salem Church section of the county.
They are from new plants that he re-
Gently ordered, and this is their first
season of fruit.
Walnut street is now open its en-
tire length to the new passenger sta
ton and the bitulithic paving is su-
perb and meets universal approval.
With her principal thoroughfares thus
paved, as provided for in the proposed
bond issue, Goldsboro will indeed be
the Best Town in the State.
The long mooted will case Of the
late L. E. Pridgen, in which certain
relatives of the deceased entered
cayeat, as the lawyers say, which
means that the will was contested, has
been settled by compromise in favor
of the will as published, the distrib-
utees making certain concessions to
the caveators.
We do not recall ever to have
seen such fine, full-grown, fully ripe
soft peaches thus early in the season
as were laid on our table today by
Mr.. Dave Holland, taken from the gar
den of his mother, Mrs. A. P. Hol-
land, on North William street, where
she has an abundant crop on her
trees. Truly is Goldsboro the garden
spot of creation.
We extend a cordial welcome tC
Mr.. w. H. Moore, of Philadelphia, who
has come to take charge of the pre-
scription department at the Lane Drug
Company, while their regular drug
gist, Mr.. w. J. Hicks, is on a leave o
absence. Mr.. Moore is a student a
Jefferson Medical College. He is ais
.sekA 1rr1o icf
years experience and hence thorough
ly competent to perform the duties O
his position.
This is an age of agitation TO
good roads. The spirit is abroad i
the land. 1t is everywhere. 1t is th
intelligent recognition of the need c
the times; and that state, that sec
ton, that county, that city, that doe
not stand for god roads and goo
streets, will be avoided by the prt
cession of progress and prosperity &
is the upas tree. Might as well RET
ognize this truth; it is abiding, an
like opportunity, it wears its locks
front. Seize them, you voters
Goldsboro, in the coming bond ele
ton for better streets.
DO you read the papers general!
Are you informed of the developmel
that is characteristic of those citi'
that are surging to the front and a
tanning permanent position and pro
perity? In your opinion is Goldsbo1
in this class? In your opinion
Goldsboro capable of becoming
great city-the gateway of Easter
North Carolina? What is first needt
to accomplish such a consummatio1
Is not self-help the best? Is it not tt
kind that shows self-confdence? Al
self-confidence and self-help nev
fail to win the investment of prospeC
ing capital. Let's help ourselves
voting for better streets, and we shs
soon realize Greater Goldsboro.
