NO. 19. MEltllY, MEURY, CHRISTMAS ! Holiday Goods and Where to The Enterprising Business Men of Goldsboro who Advertise. One more rising of the sun and Christmas is here the happiest day 0t tlit- year. It is not necessary to go to tli calendar to find this out, for it i, writti -n even more plainly in the f.l(.(.s ot the hurrying, earnest crowds vu tin' streets, and in the stores, and in the wondrous displays, made in the ..hop- themselves, than in the calendar. The season of buying the gifts, rich or pour, which are to make happy the -.river and receiver both, has begun even earlier than usual. Never before were the shopkeepers earlier or better prepared for the season. A shop is ,i,o longer a shop but .a bazaar, gather ing into itself the treasures of many land -!0 in which the products of art aud' science are jostled together, not in endless confusion, but in the most tempting and attractive order. The handicraft and the genius of all peo ple are so plentifully represented in the storehouses of our merchants as to render it wholly unnecessary for the searcher after things useful and or namental to look elsewhere. No one need go or send abroad after them, for they haye come to us treasures of art in metals, woods, clay, lacquers, silken, woollen and cotton stuffs. All these things our crowded shops show. The markets have been ransacked to obtain the best and most beautiful things which art and science could produce. Indeed, anything that the eager seeker after Christmas gifts de sires can be had in this city in the greatest variety, and at prices not too high. Never before have our dealers provided so intelligently and so gen erously to meet the demands of the public. Nothing has been left out of their immense and varied stocks, and from now until Christmas day the buyers and sellers of gifts will be bus-. If any of our readers wajit to know how they may save time and la bor and money bv being directed to the stores of the most liberally pro vided and most reliable merchants they need but consult tno advertising columns of the Messenger. At pres ent it is as good a directory as any one needs to direct git't buyers to the stores and things they most want to hnd. There are so many places at which articles particularly appropriate for gifts are to be had that it is difficult to say where to begin. However, let us start with our neighbors; the MESSRS. II . WEIL & BROS. They are our largest patrons, and it is but due them that we enumerate them first in our travels over town, among the Messenger advertisers. Messrs. Weil's spacious establish ments are indeed headquarters for all sorts of merchandise, both at ..whole sale and retail. There is no need to tell the people of the cleverness of this excellent house. Everybody knows this, and they are as public spirited as they are clever and enterprising. They offer a magnificent stock of goods and it is one that should not be overlooked by ladies or gentlemen, especially at this season when Christ mas goods of a substantial and useful kind are so much in demand. At Messrs. H. Weil & Bro's you can find almost anything that is useful. They carry one of the largest stocks in the State and they sell for cash at prices that defy competition in first-class goods. A nice dress, a beautiful cloak, a handsome carpet, or a few bolts of domestics would -make acceptable Christmas presents for your wife or daughter. They have also a large stock of clothing, boots, shoes, hats, etc. Visit their stores and inspect well their seeal departments. Their rep utation as reliable dealers extends far and wide. M. E. CASTEX & CO. We turn to the left from oar office and halt at Messrs. M. E. Castex & Co. Here you find a regular holiday bazaar an abundance of choice goods for the holidays, and a courteous and clever set of "proprietors to wait on you. Do you want a new bonnet for your wife or daughter? a new dress, or a new carpet? M.E. Castex & Co. can supply you. They have also on dis play the most beautiful holiday goods ever offered in Goldsboro An almost bewildering catalogue is presented beautiful wares in coma, majolica, cryt;il and silver, dolls by the mil lion, Japanese trays, waiters, vases, cabinets, handkerchief and glove boxes, toys in tin, guns, whistles, ar ticles in celluloid and shell, etc., etc. And then for the ball, opera and wed dirg season, a full line of fans in white embroidered silk, plain satin, feathers, bi ick satin, and red Russian morocco is presented. Hundreds of things in the line of fancy goods are shown lace ties, barbes, gillets, Spanish jx-int scarfs, fichus, French collars aud cuffs, tidies, mats, handkerchiefs embroidered, silk, hem stitched, ini tial. &c, gloves of all kinds kid, cashmere, silk, embroidered, &c, &c, anl millions of other useful and orna mental articles in every department of the establishment. SOL. EINSTEIN & CO. When we mention the name of Ein stein, we mention one of the oldest ami most reliable in this city a house that has withstood the changes and vicissitudes of time since long anter ior to the present generation, whose reputation brightens with each year of its age, and whose popularity and usef ulness are ever increasing. Firms spnng into life, flourish and disappear, but the house of Einstein's seems des tined to stand firm, running its foun dations deeper and ever spreading its f branches broader, until all shall know it from the least to the greatest. The KreAt underlying principle of this house is to dispense to the great pub He who are its patrons, goods that are 'orth the money asked far them, and at the same time to keep abreast of the times in the ever changing styles nd fashions. The individual who purchases from this house once will do so again and again. He gets what he wants, and at prices that satisfy him. Their stock of dry goods and clothing this year is up to their high est standard, in point of quality and varietv. Don t tail to give them a call before you purchase ekewhere. C. O. PERKINS. It seems almost a waste of time to call attention to this old and well known merchant, when we write about dry goods, fancy goods and millinery. iir. rerKins has been catering to the citizens of Goldsboro and the sur rounding country unceasingly during the past eighteen or twenty years. H is ever attentive to the wants of his patrons; keeps a full line of dry goods, clothing, notions, groceries, etc! His millinery bazaar, presided over by a trio of handsome and popular ladies, offers special inducements to all in need of anything in that line. We com mend Mr. Perkins to all who are in need of anything in his line asdeserv ing of a most generous patronage. M. SUMMERFIELD & CO. Listen while we give you a few words of friendly but timely advice. By no means one of the least dry goods houses in Goldsboro is that of M. Summerfield & Co. They keep a complete assortment of dress goods, fancy goods, clothing, shoes, notions, etc. They offer bargains in cloaks, also, aud other things too numerous to mention. So it will be well to give 31. bummerneld cc Co. a call. I. B. FONVIELLE. Good cheer! Ah yes, the very name of I. B. Fonvielle is suggestive of good cheer and generous living. Mr. Fonvielle has recently opened in the Keaton corner store where may be found all the main requisites for home enjoyments, delicacies to tempt and satisfy the appetite, refreshments that console the inner man, and all the comforts that a well-filled larder af fords. Go to ronvielle's then, fill your baskets and make preparations for a happy and orderly observance of the Christmas tide to the very best ad vantage. JOSEPH EDWARDS, whose store, we venture to say, will be visited by hundreds of purchasers between now and Christmas day, has a large and attractive stock of dry goods, clothing, shoes, dress goods, dry goods, hats, trunks, furniture, etc. Mr. Edwards glories m the title as "the champion of low prices," and with a full stock and disposition to sell, it is no wonder that his patrons are many. D. L. FARRIOR. This clever gentleman does a quiet but profitable business on the corner of West Centre and Chestnut streets. His patrons and the public generally have full confidence in him as a mer chant and clever dealer and a long and large experience and thorough knowledge of the trade has given him advantages in buying his goods of which his patrons receive the full benefit. If you are in search of a dress, Jomestics for family use, or a suit of clothing for yourself, be sure and don't give D. L. Farrior the go-by. If you do you will regret it. FUCHTLEt 5 KERN. The Messrs. Fuehrer & Kern, be sides a full line of handsome furni ture, window shades and carpets, are once more headquarters for good old Santa Claus. Their fancy goods bazaar is a big success. The store is literally crowded with customers from morning till night, and Old Santa is liberally remembering old and young from their well stocked establishment. Go early and make your selections. MRS. E. W. MOORE. We would speak a word to the ladies and sweet young misses of the com munity, who may wish a new bonnet or some beautiful article of goods in the millinery line, but hardly suppose we would be telling them any thing new in referring them to the millinery establishment presided over by that energetic and well deserving lady, Mrs. E. W. Moore. Go and give her a liberal share of your patronage and add your little mite in making her Christmas merry and happy. WHITAKER'S BOOK STORE. One of the best places in Goldsboro to find Christmas presents is Whit aker's Book Store. Mr. Whitaker offers a superb stock of holiday goods, splendid books for old and young, and an endless variety of beautiful sou venirs suitable for gifts. Terhaps you are literary, or have a literary friend whom you wish to remember. Authors of every calibre are repre sented at Whitaker's. You can buy the English classics in holiday garb; you can select for your friend a gem of literature beautifully illustrated and appropriate to the season poetry, biography, history, fiction, can all be found here, and you must needs be a terrible critic if you cannot chance upon some book of acceptable litera ture. And there are other things of such beauty that he who has a keen appreciation of art will find his heart going out to many of the pretty things which adorn the walls of his establish ment. Last, but not least, are the ex quisite cards which are shown in boundless profusion here, which range from grave to gay, from serious to sublime, many of which are elegant enough for a duchess, and none of which are not worthy of the day we celebrate. KIRBY & ROBINSON. The drug establishment of Drs. Kirby & Robinson, located in the "Messenger Building," is not only the oldest in this city, but there also the finest and freshest drugs are dispensed by the most competent of drug clerks.

This city is in a state of highest excite ment over an occurrence which took place Friday last, and the subsequent movements of the parties concerned and the details of the affair are as follows: Thursday afternoon last, Walter L. Bingham, son ot the late Colouel Wm. Bingham, of Orange county, and a former deaf and dnm mute pupil at the Institution for Deaf and Dumb and Blind, called at the office of the Register of Deeds here and inquired as to what time the of fic would be opened l.ext morning. Next morning he called and secured a marriage license for himself and Miss Lizzie Turlington, of Wilming ton, who is a matron for the deaf mutes at the institution above men tioned, giving his age as 23 years old, and that of the lady as the same acre. After procuring the license on Fri day morning, about 10 o'clock, Bing ham and Miss Turlington left the asy lum on foot, and afterward he pro cured a horse and buggy. They left the city together going in the direc- tion or uurnam. ine marriage cere mony was not performed in this city nor in the county of Wake, so far as it has been ascertained, and the terms of license do not allow of their being married outside of the county. The Earties were last seen together in the uggy eight miles from Durham. About five miles from Durham he was seen in the buggy alone. The point at which he was last seen in company with the lady is very lonely and desolate, abounding with thick undergrowth. At Durham Bingham left the buggy at a stable near the outskirts of the town and took the train for Greensboro. On his arrival at Greensboro, he made strict in quiries in regard to connections for Atlanta, New Orleans and other Southern points. There was no rea son for the course taken by the par ties as tney were ootn ot legal age and no impediment seemed to exis against tneir union, suspicion was quickly excited, and eyen yesterday the belief was that Bingham who is of Violent temper, had murdered the gir and hidden her body. He hack $700 in money and a knife and revolver when he left here. The authorities of the deaf.dumband blind institution and also of this city, aided by the peo pie of Durham, have searched con tmuously since Saturday night for the girl, but without avail. At o'clock this evening the Chief of Po lice telegraphed that he had found il .i 1 lL T: 1 J il . i mat uouu Dinguam ana me gin were seen at Moorsville, this county, but that a mile beyond there Bingham was seen in the buggy alone. It was thought until this afternoon tha Bingham had gone South, though no news of him could be had by tele era ph. News was received from New York, which occasioned an im mense sensation. Dr. Isaao Peet, principal of the Deaf, Dum and Blind Institution at Carmansville, N. Y., where Bingham had completed his education, telegraphed that Bingham was here yesterday insane, and threatened to kill a man named Good win at Council Bluffs, Iowa. After making these threats Bingham disap peared and his whereabouts were un known to Doctor Peet. Goodwin, who is referred to, is E. McK. Good win, formerly principle of Kinston Graded School and later teacher in a Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institute here, but who last Summer went to Council Bluffs to become a teacher in a simi lar institution there. He wasthouerht by Bingham to be in love with Miss Turlington and her accepted suitor. Hence his desire to slay him. Tele giams of warning were promptly sent Goodwin by his family, who live in this city. F. A. O. MOUNT OLIVE LOCALS. Gathered By Our Regular Repor ter. Will somebody please tell us where the town of "Eurus" is ? Dr. I. W. Faison cut a lead ball out of Mr. T. R Lee's body one day last week, which he had been carrying ever since the late war. The ball en tered the left shoulder and passed down through the lungs. The patient is doing well. The fair and festival given last Friday night by the ladies of the Presbyterian church was a very pleas ant entertainment and proved quite a success financially. Net receipts, $50.00. John Smith, Jr., came to Mt. Olive on a visit one day last week. Give us your hand John, Sr., and let us congratulate "papa." The Mt. Olive Cotton Exchange bought last week Mr. R. J. Souther land's large lot of cotton 350 bales and were as busy as bees sampling, weighing and shipping. By the way the Exchange had their picture taken a few days since, and there was such a concentration of skill, judgment and manly beauty that the photographer was greatly concerned for the safety of his tence, but after a careful exam ination he reports that it was not ma terially injured. The Exchange will close on the evening of the 23d and remain so until the New Year as Capt. Hallett, the manager, intends eating his Christmas dinner with his old friends in Wilmington. We appre ciate having had the Captain with us this Fall, be having paid out $90,000 for cotton and Rice during the season. A merry Christmas and a happy New Year to him. Little Miss Mary Smith had her feet right badly burned one day last week by a kettle of hot water being acci dentally turned over on them. Miss Lou McGee is quite sick we are sorry to learn. Mrs. Solomon Moffitt, of Randolph county, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. John Smith. Your printer made an error. last week in our remedy for chaps.

THE FREEDMAN'S BANK. Report of the Controller of Currency. the The Speaker laid before the Hons Thursday report from the controller of the currency, ez-offiio commissioner of the Freedman's Savings and 1 rust company, on the affairs of that instu tion. The report bhows that on De cember 4th there was a balance on hand of $7,719. The controller makes a strong plea in favor of the assumption by the government of the liabilities of the institution to its depositors. He quotes at length the reports of his predecessors on the. subject and says: "More than 15,000 depositors had to their credit at the time of the failure of the band only $5 or less each, and it may be necessary that these should be sout out and paid with as little cost to them as possible ; while thousand of others have still at their credit amounts so small as to be entitled to a like share of considera tion. He says it would seem proper to allow at least three vears for the presentaticn and auditing of these claims, and suggest January 1st, 1890 as a term of final liquidation. He is inclined to think that the estimate of his immediate predecessor, that $1000, 000 would be sufficient to settle all demands likely to be proved,, is. correct. (A
