By Issuing L Register of Deeds V. Krat has I unintentionally got inii trouble cause of s marriage license he issued about two weeks ago. At that time a young man named W. B. Robbing I appeared at the Register's office and I asitea ior license to marry Miss Car rie Brltt. Robbing made afliduvit that Miss Britt, who is not related or even known to the register, was iu years old. Upon this information the license was issued uinl Mr. itni, bins took his lieeii- . : ! i , i ajustlce of the pen ,.iu, .,,r. ried right here ! i o ,(i -i,, re. .r-t the marriage they relumed io die home of the groom in Nash county. The mother of the bride Mrs. Maggie Britt was very much disturbed when she found that her 16 year old daugh ter was married. She could not sepa rate her daughter from the man she married, but she went to work to get revenge on Mr. Britt for issuing the license. The register had not given , the matter a single thought until this morning when an officer served pa person him for issuing the license. Mrs. Britt came to the city this morning with her attorney Mr. J. A. Farmer, of Wilson, and instituted the suit. The case came up for a hearing before Justice Hugh Hum phrey, who after hearing the evi dence, reserved his decision until some time which he will announce later. In the mean time the young peo- pie are living together as man and wiie. The register did know that , the girl was only 18 years old and his only source of Iniormation was from the young manwho applied for the license, who eald that she was nineteen. It la said that the register did not require the applicant for the license to kiss the Bible when he made affidavit, but only madu him raise his right hand, and this keen-ho me young man umn oemg maicted I cancellation the most skeptical can for perjury. Mr. Farmer, the attor- not but be convinced that adverUs ncy for the plaintiff, states that Rob- ing Is distinctly associated with pro bins bad applied nd had been re- gress and civUkatlon; . with tnan fused license in both' Nasli and Wfl- kind at his best and highest state of 8'jn counties, eommerclarperloCtlon," 1L. . - 1 - . . I . REAL ESTATE CHANGES.; They Are the Best Index to Our City's Steady and Substan tial Progress. Goldsboro real estate is steadily increasing in value and in demand, and there is hardly a foot of property in this town that will not command a better price five years hence than It sells for to-day, for Goldsboro is go ing to continue to go forward. The following transfers, which have recently been made, shows how real estate is changing hands and be ing improved : Mr. J. 8. JBizzell has purchased Mrs. Maria Smith's valuable lot on James street and will at an early dale erect a handsome he use on this site. The amount paid was 12,800 cash. Mr. J. B. l'ate has purchased Mr. W. B. Albritton's lot. Mr Matthews has purchased a lot from Mr. L. M. Nash and is building on that. Mr. Beth Peel has purchased part of Mr. R. (J. Freeman's land. Mr. W. E. Jenkins has purchased Mr. J. II. Lane's farm. These, with other recent deal, ag gregating over f 11,000, were made through Mr. E. L. Edmund)u, the "real estate hustler." The above goes to prove that real estate in and around Uoldboro i$ very desirable. Mr. Edmundson gives theAiitii's credit for assisting in these sales, as nearly all ol them were advertised in its columns. MABEL TAIUE. This Charming Actress is Coining Back to Goldsboro. The many people who enjoyed the performances of winsome Mabel Paige and her company during their recent engagement here will hail with pleasure the news of her return during Christmas week for three nights, beginning Thursday, Dec. 24th. Certainly manager Uiggins could not have selected a better holiday attraction. Miss l'aige's managers announce that the company is even stronger than before, a number of new mem bers having been added. The plays ar also said to be superior to those which were presented here before. "Our Young Minister," which will be presented on next Thursday night, is probably the strongest play n the large repertoire of this popular star. The thrilling melo-drarua, "A Battle For Life," will also be pre-, ented next week. A special mati nee will be given on Christmas day, ii-o on Saturday afternoon. t he same low prices will prevail lin ing the engagement. : K 1 HUOITLK SlIOCLL) CLOSK.

The steam might remain in the boiler, but it could not get to the cylinders, and tho machine would come to a standstill. The basic importance of advertis ing was forcefully pointed out In an address recently delivered by S. W. Bolles, superintendent of the srraph- Ic arts department St. Louis World's Fair: "It is only when we subtract." said he, "that we realize how much space the subtrahend occupies. It is the dried up well that begins to awaken us to the paramount neces sity of water. Thus the growth of advertising, both as a profession, an industry, a tremendous factor in production, and a creator of mark- els, has been so rapid and is recog nized as so permeating toe work of the world ithat we can not realize how necessary it is until we attempt eiimtntA if n tht nw.. ,.r .. ..
