Xew coiners are continu ally being added to our population and new store houses and residences are being built. Our young city is increas ing its territory and population at a very satisfactory rate. We are requested to announce that Mr. R. R. Edgerton, of Nahunta, will deliver an address in the Xahunta Academy building next Friday night at 7:00 o'clock. His subject will be, 'Higher Education of Woman," and we predict a great treat for those who will attend. Last Saturday we heard the com plaints of several farmers that a great many tramps are stalking around the country, and in some instances press mg their way into private houses and frighting helpless women and children. Every one of them should be arrested and made to give an account cf their Fil conduct. The dwelling of Mr. W. II. Hair, near this city, was destroyed by fire last Fridiy morning.' It is supposed that the fire originated from a defect ive chimney. There was no insurance J on the building, which was valued at i about $500. j A special train came up from Xew- ! bern yesterday evening, bringing a j Ood many persons who were desirous j to attend the Pe.ir. -Oil meeting. Anoth- i er special will arrive here on Friday at 5:40 p. ni., and will leave here at the close of the meeting. j The white man Ingram whose head was split open with a hatchet by his father-in-law, named Revln, a few weeks aj died from the effects of the wound last Friday. The latter has ta ken to the woods and at this writing has not been apprehended. There is no doubt that Mr Pearson is making a deep impression upon our people, it we should jude from the almost empty houses which greeted the Cora Van Tassel Comedy company j durmi the past week. Last 1' rid ay night there were about t5 converts, and many it ore are bound to follow. On Saturday morning, about nine miles from this city, a house belong ing to a colored man by the name of Calum Sherard caught fire and burned to the ground before anyone could ex tinguish the flames. We learn that the parents were picking cotton that morning and left two children at home, who perished in the flames. The mortal remains of Mr. Rufus Edmundson, who departed this life on Friday night in the 71st year of his age, were laid to rest Sunday morning at Willow Dail cemetery. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. C. McMullen, at the residence of his nephew Mr. Thos. Edmundson, in this city. Our heartfelt sympathy is ex- J tended to the afflicted. j Last Thursday night at about 7:30 o'clock, while the "Shoofly" train was moving into the depot at Fremont, a white man named Stephen Davis was sitting on the track in an intoxicated condition. Refore the engineer could see him he was under the wheels, ter ribly mangled, and died almost in stantly. The unfortunate lived near Fremont and leaves a wife and several small children. Madame Janauscheck wdl occupy the boards of the Messenger Opera House iu this city next Monday night. This great artiste has long held the title of "Queen of Tragedy," and is the last great representative of a dramatic school that produced a Forrest, a Mac Ready, a Cushman, a Rach ael and a Riston. Xo lover of the drama should miss seeing this great actress. When in this city, some two or three seasons ago, Madame Janauscheck was greeted by a packed house, and we have no doubt that she will be warmlv received auain. Congressional.

The Goldsboro HewXlijht under the very energetic management of that in defatigable worker, A. Roscower has been enlarged to an eight page paper, and we rejoice at this evidence of its growing prosperity. The Fair. The fifth annual Fair of the Eistern Carolina Fair and Stock Association opened last Wednesday noon with j about 500 people present. The? Fair I was opened in a short and appropriate j speech by Chas. B. Ayrock, Esq. Everything went merry as a "marriage j bell" that day , but, alas! the follow- J ing day it poured, and everybody ?s ! hope and exneetation was bli'dit ;d. I The ram kept many hundreds of visi- j tors from attending, and of course, the attendance on the second day was small. The attendance at the last day was somewhat better, but not enough to make up the deficiency of the for mer day. The exhibits iu Flokal Hall, in all its departments, were full, and in some of them there have been more entries than at any of the preceeding four Fairs Right nobly have our ladies executed ths work which they so willingly assumed in behalf of our Fair, and the results of their efforts attracted the attention cf all lovers of the artistic and beautiful, and call forth expressions of praise for those who have labored so diligently and so successfully to make these departments a credit to our city and county. We will not attempt to particularize in these departments, but will simply give an outline of whit could be seen. In the art department we observed a fine display of oil painting, crayon, water colors, wash painting on linen, Kensington painting, pencil aud char coal drawing embracing portraits, landscapes,, figures, object drawing, birds and flowers. In this department Miss Laura Peterson, daughter of our Mayor, won the laurels, for her beauti ful oil painting, the landscape especi ally, was admired by all lovers of this fins ai t. Miss Fanchani, teacher of art at Kinsey School, Lagrange, had a very creditable display of Crayon and Oil, while Miss Cadd e FUglnm ex hibited a beautiful likenets in crayon of Miss Clara Jones. Tu the fancy department could bo seen a large display of embroidery, crocheting and various other styles of needle work, crazy quilts, hand made shirts, bible cover, etc., etc. In this department we find a few worthy of mention: A pure lace bed-spread by Mrs. I. Fuchtler : a handsome piece of Spanish guipure lace, hand-made by Mrs. A. Korb ; a beautiful corded chair tidy made by Mr. Ilyman Sehwe- n'ner, of Reading, Pa., and exhibited by Mrs. Joseph Edwards, of this city. In the culinar' department there were preserves, jellies, sweet pickles, butter, cake, bread in fact every thing to do full justice to the "inner man." The exhibits of our business men and manufacturers were few, however, and such lack of interest was a subject of remark by many. II. Weil & Bro. displayed a hand some lot of Overcoats, Rugs, aud Zeigler's Shoes. The Goldsboro Furniture Manufac turing Co., exhibited specimens of fine parlor and bedroom furniture, of their own make. II. Miller & Co., made a very at tractive exhibit of the very papular Ivers & Pond piancs, and had also the light miming "Domestic" sewing ma chine there, with Mr. Vr. W. Prince as operator. I. S. D. Sauls made a unique and handsome exhibit with his varied stock of fancy and family groceries. Smith & Yelverton had on exhibi tion several of the Acorn ventilated Oven stoves, which were pronounced by many of our housewives, "the best among the best." A. A. Miller, photograher, displayed an attractive collection of the fine Work he does in his art gallery. Fuchtler & Kern had on exhibition a beautiful and highly ornamental bed room set, that was generally admired The Enterprise Lumber Co., showed creditable specimens of their turned work, etc. In Agricultural Hall, we noticed a fine display of busies. Mr. R. E. Jones exhibited some very handsome busies and -raod carts of his own manufacture, and J. W. Lamb & Co., showed some very handsome phaetons. The farm products were very limited . which can only be accounted for that it is too early in the season for the farmers to make an exhibit, and as the September rains delayed the picking of cotton, they have really not had time to think of an exhibit and pre pare to make a proper display. The few exhibits in this department were very fine. The Enterprise Cornet Band furuish- i ed some very fine music and those who have had the good fortune to attend , enjoyed themselves to their hearts cou i tent. His Business Bocrnb.g. Most everybody who pisses the establishment of Asher E -1. yards is of the same opinion that "his bu-iiness is booming." The rushes for tin: put three clays have been enormous, and everybody, be it a lady or gentleman, is well pleised with the bargains they secured in their purchases made of that popular . house. A visit to his store will convince the most fastidious buyer that his shelves are loaded with all the novelties to complete a ladv's or gentleman's costume, and that the sootls are slaughtered to almost noth ing. The secret of this we have just learned. Mr. Edwards spj;it in the Northern markets for over six weiks, watching and securing all the bargains he only possibly could, and further more paying the cash down for every thing, thereby saving the profils of commission merchants and jabbers. i A Special Invitation. Tliis tvppk will ho .1 invons nw for bargain seekers. Every department m my mammoth stor: is tilled with grand gcods at lowest prirex. Xo mat ter where you look, you'll find that my goods were never so jood, the styles never so perfect, the prices never so low. I thiow down the gauntlet and challenge the competition of tlu world. I shall make prices so low this week, that both friends and enemies will be forced to buy from me. For a small sum of cash you can buy a wboli outfit of new goods, which I h ive bought for cash and shall sell for the cash. I was in tha Northern markets four weeks looking to the interest of my patrons. I have bought my goods from the manu facturers, thereby saving commission houses profits for those who buy from me. Re sure to call and be convinced. Joseph Edwards. "The Champion of Low Prices." GOLDSBORO MARKET REPORTS. corrected by B. M. Privett & Company Cotton Buyers and wholesale Provision and Grain Dealers.
