-fe is now too late to shop early,
but not too early to shop late.
The Argus is glad to report today
that DIR. r. Malcolm Bizzell, who has
been quite sick for some days, is very
much better.
1T is no longer called the hook
worm by scientists. They call it uni
eiRaFa duodinalis. 1t is, however, the
gnrae old worR1.
Mr.. and Mrs John R. Smith have
moved into the residence Of Miss
Saith, his sister, on William street
that Is now being remodeled and new
ly painted.
The home-comings for Christmas
are now in full blast, and in conse-
auence Of their great tax upon the
railroads all arriving schedules are IN
abeyance this week.
The mumps certainly picked an
unpropitious season-from the view
point Of the schoolboy-to swooI
down upon Goldsboro, just when the
Christmas holidays are at hand. Toe
bad.
-Messrs. John and Charles Bigler
the courteous contractors who are do
ing the paving Of our sidewalks, are
OF to Ohio to spend Christmas at their
ooyhood home. In the meantime the
work is suspended here until their re-
turn.
1t takes so little to gladden. the
heart of a child. Just a toy or two
some candy or some books. Think
ef your own childhood; remember
your own happy, well cared for little
oaes. and aid those who have none tG
watch over them.
The new year resolution industry
Of 1910 will soon be in full swing. But
in a dry" town and State, like Colds
boro and North Carolina, the old-tine
necessity of resolving being elimi-
mated there is not much left to give
impetus to the resolution mill
Although the suspension of the
city ordinance as to the discharge OF
fireworks does not go into effect un-
til Friday evening next, the irrepress-
ible small boy, with Christmas in his
bones, is having high sport dodgine
the vigilant police and making the
night air resound with the reports oi
cannon crackers and "baby-wakers."
The Argus is gratified to an
Meance that Goldsboro theatre patrons
are to have the opportunity, early il
the new year, of seeing paid in Full,
enc Of the greatest attractions on the
American stage. Like Polly of the
Circus" it is fraught with thrilling in
cidentS and breaches a sermon tha
all who see 1t will forever after cher
ish and heed.
The old reliable bakery of Nh
walter H. Barnes that keeps abreas
OF the progress of the age, has jus
added to its expert force Mr.. H. L
Jenkins, a baker of long experience
whose coming to Goldsboro is the bes
Maesible evidence Of the growing trad

such in his profession as only tn
N&af Bakeries can command.
Master James Musgrave, twelv
Wayne eounty's first prize winner il
