THE ARGUS. ;i)A3 LY AND WEEKLY. OUR LOCAL OPTIC. Goldsboro and Vicinity History In Brief; Epitome of Savings and Doings, Wla . and Otherwise, Run Down and Ban in by Omnipresent .Ubiquitous, Local "Grand Bounds." I-1 I- I I I ! Mrs. D. fl. Williams, of Wal lace, N. C, is in the city, on a visit to her daughter Mrs. C. i Taylor. Quiet has been restored in Wilmington, and under coming Democratic rule peace reigns throughout the State. The price of tobacco on this market is away up in the figures Goldsboro is easily the best tobac co market in the State. Mr. Charles Glover, a leading manufacturer cf Connecticut, is in the city on a brier visit to n: daughter Mrs. Waller Peterson and is the a uest of Mayor Peter son. It is hif first yisit South and he is greatly pleased with Golds boro. Guess & Williams will ran an excursion over the A. & N. C. R. R. to Core Creek next Sunday, the occasion beinjj a big camp meeting. The train will leave Goldsboro at 9:40 in the morning The fare for the round trip from Goldsboro is 85 cents. The Goldsboro Hardware Com pany, recently incorporated, or ganized last night, and wiil soon be tully equipped for the con duct of a wholesale and retail Hardware business in this Pity, together with plumbing, roofing, sewer and gas pipe fitting, &3 The . ARGUS congratulates tbe enterprise and tenders it cordial good wishes. We go forward. Mr. Pope Washington, of the U. b. .Navy, who was of tbe crew of the Maine, and saw service on the "New Orleans1' in the late American-Spanish war, is in the city, on a furlough visit to his home and parpnls, Col. and Mrs. J. A. Washington. Pope is Iook ing well, and we are all glad to see him and he is kept talking all the time, whenever "the boys" get hold cf him. Laura Faison, colored, recently received a sum of money as a result of the killing of her husband by the fallling of the cotton stor age warehouse last winter. She gave a part of this money to the mother and sister of her husband. Mary Faison, a sister of the man who was killed, became dissatisfied over the amount cf money she had received and Saturday night she attacked Laura with a knife and cut her severely in several places. ATT" unfortunate circumstance in which a worthy young man lost his life occurred near Pike ville Saturday. Mr. Wm. Thomp son, son of Mr, Jim Thompson, Went hunting Saturday and killed a rabbit. He was holding the rab bit in front of him in one hand and his gun in the other. The dogs were jumping up to catch hold of the rabbit and in jump ing up one of the the dogs struck thehammer of the gun and caused the gun to fire. Death was instan taneous. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire! ueignoornoou. It is true the southern cotton mills as a rule make money, but how do they do it? In the first place, the non productive expense of a southern mill is not so high it ie in the north. Then they are most of them new mills, or near ly so, and those that are not new (that is, the successful ones), have thrown out their old machinery and put new in its place while at the north there are a large num ber of cotton mills that are run ning machinery thirty-five or forty years old. It is not to be expected that New Egland mills that adhere to. this policy can com pete with the southern mill . Dudley Items. Mr.. P. V. Loftin spent Monday at Mil" Olive. We feel happy over the Demo cratic victory. Mr. Charlie Gardner, of Black ; Creek, was in this section" Sunday. Schools are flourishing in this section to the delight of their pa trons. 'Mrs. John Roberts and son, spent Saturday night and Sunday at Mr. John H. Grady's. Mr. Euffus Kelly moved from this section last week to Duplin - county. We wish him much suc cess. Mr. and Mrs. A. J. K. Rhodes are visiting their daughters, Mrs. T. G. Loftin and Mrs. J. T. CarJ raway here this week. Messrs. Sam Moore, of War saw, Ben Oliver, of Mt. Olive, and Howard Faison, of Faison's, N. C, were calling on some of our fair sex near Edward's Mill, Sat urday and Sunday. Come again loys. T. ' Dudley, N. C, Nov.: 16, '98. . HON W. R. ALLEN. His Name Will Be Presented to tbe Jfext House for Speaker of That Body, With the convening of the new ly elected Legislature in January a number of names will be before the Lower House for Speaker of that body. It is a laudible am bition, and is an honor that any member is pardonable for aspir ing to. The name of our distinguished townsman ex-Judge W . R. Allen, one of the members-elect to the House from Wayne county, has been mentioned for the prefer ment, and were he from any other eastern county than ouv own, knowing him as we do to be pe culiarly endowed by nature and eminently fitted by study and ex perience for the responsible posi tion, the Akgtjs would feel con strained to advocate his election as Speaker. We say "eastern icounty" a d- visedly, because sections as well as men are entitled to considera tion in the distribution of hons ors, and Eastern North Carolina has not had a Speaker of the House in years, and the mem bers from the East have hitherto generously recognized the merits and cordially supported the can-, didacy of Western men as such presented themselves for the place. From a sectional standpoint, therefore, there should be no controversy, as the west should unanimously concede to the east the Speakership as our right. This being done, and it ought to be, Hon. W. B. Allen, we doubt not, would be the unanimous choice of that body for Speaker. He was one of the most efficient and respected members of the House during the term of his pre vious service as a member of the Legislature of '93. During his service as judge upon the Supe rior court bench he won the re spect and confidence of the en tire Bar and people of the State, as a lawyer he is without a peer in his profession; as a scholar and courteous gentleman he wins and holds the admiration of all who come in contact with him. There is not a blemish upon his public or private reputation, and he stands to-day an honor to the whole State, whose representa tives in the Legislature could make no mistake in electing him to preside over their law making deliberations, which will necessa rily be the most important in the history of our commonwealth. Pinkney Items. Miss Ora Jinnett, of Guilford College is teaching at Wiggs school house. Mrs. Sue Edmundson, of Goldsboro, begins teaching near Mr. Ed. Peele's this week. Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Crow, of Goldsboro, were m our section Sunday visiting Mrs. Crow's parents. Miss Alice Lewis, near Green- leaf, was here Sunday the guest of her cousin Miss Julia Edger- ton. Rev. J. H. Gilbreth, of John ston county, was in our midst last week the guest of A. R. Ed gerton. Mr. George Pitman, of South Carolina, is visiting his parents Mr. and Mrs. Reddin Pitman near here. Prof. Edward B. Moore's magic lantern entertainment at Nahunta Saturday night was a most en joyable ocoasion, and was the means of drawing out a large and appreciative audience. Mrs. Sue V. Hollowell, of Goldsboro, and Mrs. Katie D. Moore of Genoa, were in our midst Saturday and Sunday doing evangelistic work. Mrs. Hollow ell gave an able talk Sunday from the text, "I will love Thee O Lord." Reymond. Pinkney, N. C, Nov. 16, '98. Alt IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE. To make it apparent to thousands, who th'nk themselves ill, that they are not afflicted with any disease, but that the eyBtem simply needs cleansing, is to bring comfort home to their hearts, as a costive condition is easily cured by using Syrup of . Figs . Manufac tured by the California fig Byrup Company only, and sold oj ail drug gists. v . . , There is nothing more jousical than the voice of a ' mule to ana other mule. THIRTEENTH ANNIVERSARY. THE BUILDING OF A BIG BUSINESS. Messrs. Royall & Borden, the Well-known Furniture Firm, Will Celebrate Their Thirteenth. Year in Business by a Special Thanksgiving Sale, Thanksgiving Week. Inspiring is the scene present ed at the mammoth double front three story Furniture establish ment of Messrs. Royall & Borden, on West Centre street, where on every floor is to be found in ar tistic display and convenient for inspection every variety and spe cies of household furniture, whether for palatial residence or humble cottage: each has its pe culiar place in the great aggre gation and none is overlooked or slighted in the general display. and whether the prospective customer be of modest putse or of fcfQuent bank account, each can see on display here what his want demands or his fancy seeks, and each receives from exper ienced salesmen the same Jjour teous attention and is made to feel that his trade or even his visit of inspection is appreciated. And so for thirteen years Messrs. Royall & Borden, starting in bus iness as young men, have kept in touch with the trading public until today they stand at the head of the Furniture business in North Carolina, conducting large branch stores in Raleigh aud the finest store of its class in the capitaland in Durham, and eDjoying a lucrative wholesale trade throughout the middle and Southern States. . Messrs. Royall & Borden have just rounded their Thirteenth anniversary in bnsiness; and while 13 is considered by many to be an unlucky number, they have decided to make it in its re lation to their anniversary an ex ceedingly lucky number for their army of customers and the trad ing public generally by inaugu rating a Special Anniversary Sale for Thanksgiving week, begin ning Monday morning, Novem ber 21, and running through the entire week, until Saturday night, November 26. during which time any article or suit of furniture in their entire and immense stock will be sold at absolutely manu facturers' cost, with only the freight added. This is no sudden conclusion on the part of the above firm, but has been in contemplation and in course of preparation by them for months, and the public are as sured that it is made on a bona fide basis, in appreciation of the steady and generous patronage conferred upon them in the past, and will be conducted in absolute good faith throughout the entire week. No article or class of goods will be reserved in this Special Thanks giving Sale, but their entire stock will be thrown open to the public, as an earnest of their purpose of giving to all on this occasion an opportunity of supplying their every want in Furniture at abso lute cost. This special sale will positively begin and end with Thanksgiving week, and prices put upon goods for that week will not be binding afterward. Consequently the pub lic are counseled to govern them selves accordingly. FfllNE'S CELERY COMPOUND. Roosevelt's Rough Riders Restored to Health by this Greatest of All Remedies. nr. OLIVE LETTER A Condensed Chronicling of the Events that Transpire in That Town and Section. Argus Bureau, Jno. R. Smith, Mgr. Nov. 16, 1898. I Mrs. Dr.' Storme returned to . her home in Wilmington Satur day. Mr. A. S. Grady visited War- . saw Monday on professional bus iness. Eev. Mrs. W. B. Oliver is spend ing some time with her father Mr. J. F. Oliver. Another family from Ohio has moved into our midst. We hope they will be pleased with our cli mate. Mr. A. Whitely has moved his paper, the Jacksonville Times to Mt. Olive, He will occupy the up per story of Mr. J, D. Souther land's store. We wish Mr. White ly an abundance of success. Mr. Neill McCullin's little two-and-a-half year old girl was se riously burned Tuesday morning. She was playing in the fixe while her mother was out. Her screams brought aid in time to save her life. The bestgeitizens of Mt. Olive haying formed a military compa ny for local protection, are re quested to meet Friday night over Mr. C. B. Hatch's store. Business of importance will be attended to. All members and those wishing to become members are requested to attend. 'UPoF THE EXCEIENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the Califobnia Fia Sybup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing' the true and original remedy. As the genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured ty the California Fie Syrup Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will assist one in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other par ties. The high standing of the Cali fornia Fia Syrup Co. with the medi cal profession, and the satisfaction which the genuine Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the name of the Qompany a guaranty of the excellence of its remedy. It is far in advance of all other laxatives, as it acts on the kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating or weaken ing them, and it does not gripe nor nauseate. In order to get its beneficial effects, please remember the name of the Company CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. , AN FRANCISCO, CaL , Th- Ml Irs NTOvre Pr.Asnrnso.tjm RHFtTMA. TISM. WEAK BACKS. At druggist, alj Brough Him Back to Life. NEW YOBK, Sept, 30, 1898. Messrs. Wells, Kichardson & Co., Gentlemen I might have broken down sooner in the campaign about Santiago if I had had time to realize what was the matter with me before the Spaniards surrendered. God knows I broke down soon enough as it was, and it was as great a surprise to me as it was to the the other boys who knew me at home. But the Spaniards kept me busy, when we were not busy on our own account getting ready for the big fight. That I was a member of the Roosevelt Regiment I shall al ways be proud, and the fights at Las Quasimas and at San Juan Hill will be things to talk about for many a year. But I would not have lived to talk about them if I had not found some thing to brace my nerves up again after the siege I had of it at Santiago with dysentery and slow fever. I got so I could hardly shoot, and felt like I did not care whether I did or not. I lost 20 pounds in weight and a lot more than that in spirit, if you can measure a fellow's spirit that way. Half a dozen Mauser bullets could not have made a worse mess of me than the Cuban climate and the mud in the Santiago trenches did. As soon as I found I was sick and my nerves were all gone I hunt ed for a tonic. I found it on the way back North, when I got some of the Paine's celery compound I saw other men using. How it braced me up my picture will show better than anything else. It is the greatest nerve restorer that can be made, for it brings all the force there is in a man to the sur face. E. E. HOLT, Dango, Colorado. Escaped Montauk Hospital. NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 1898. Messrs. Wells, Richardson & Co., Gentlemen If anybody in the whole regiment of Rough Riders had a chance to observe the general weakened condition of the men when they started back to the United States, as compared with their stal wart condition when they sailed from San Antonio on June 8th, I think I had. Oklahoma is generally regarded as a healthy climate, and last May, when I left there, Ihaidly knew what sickness meant. Earlier in life, how ever, I had lived in the East, and after a month in service knew that what I needed, in my general run down condition, was a nerve tonic. I knew if my nerves were fixed up there would be no trouble about my general health as soon as I got away from the army. I also knew the position that Paine's celery compound occupied, although I had not had occasion to use it much myself. I got a few bot tles of it and began to take it and give it to a few of my acquaintances. It actually seemed to build up my nervous constitution almost as rap idly as the Southern climate had torn it down. The same thing was true of the other men I gave it to. Unless I had found this tonic to restore my nerves I feel sure that I would have gone to the hospital at Montauk Point, and I might have shared the fate of many other poor fellows whose impoverished condi tion did not yield to the doctor's treatment. It gives me pleasure to recom mend Paine's celery compound as the best remedy ever sold in America. SERGT M. DOUTHEIT, Guthrie, Oklahoma. Nearly Dead from the Fever ST. LOUIS, Sept. 29, 1898. Messrs. Wells, Richardson & Co., Gentleman Nobody can blame me of being disloyal if I say that Paine's celery compound has done more for ma than any other person or thing since I left Siler City to join the Rough Riders. It has pulled together the scraps of a stalwart man,brought me around from all the bad effects of the Cuban climate, and braced me up until I am in better health than I have been in ten years. My friends in the West think I am nearly dead from the army fever they called calientura in Cuba. When I get back to Siler City they will be as surprised as I some times feel myself. I had pretty good nerves before I enlisted. They went to pieces while we were lying out in the trenches at Santiago, dodging bullets. I began to feel feverish from the day we got to Siboney. When the Mausers sang about our ears I noticed that I was getting nervous. I found myself scarcely able to walk after the battle of San Juan. I got worse until I got back to Montauk Point, where I got a bottle of Paine's celery compound from an other fellow in the regiment. I saw several of the Rough Riders taking it. With some of them, as with me, it seemed to take the place of both food and medicine, for the systems of many of the men needed toning up before they could again eat as they had done before they left this country. I don't know much about medi -cines. We don't need much medicine in New Mexico. But I know Paine's celery compound has fixed me up until I feel able to take the road for home, where I expect to tell every one who mentions nerves to me about my case. WILLIAM H. TOIK, Silver City, N. M. To Disband the Cuban Army. Havana, Nov, 14. General Garcia, his staff and the other delegates from the so-called Cu ban assembly, will remain at their Mariauo headquarters until Wed nesday, when they will leave" for Washington. The delegates ex pect a satisfactory outcome of their conference with" the presi dent of the United States. The Cuban delegates at their last session at Santa Cruz del Sur resolved to discharge all men who have enlisted since August 14th, the date of the cessation of hostilities and to give '. an indefi nite leave of absence to all officers and men desirous of being dis charged from the Cuban army, provided they give their place of residence and sign a pledge to return to the ranks in case they are called upon to do so. If a country's commerce meas ures its prosperity the United States is in a highly prosperous condition. According to Dun the volume of trade in October of this year was the greatest ever known in that month and the largest of any month except De cember, 1892. And this ocourred during the last month of a polit ical campaign. The showing fur nishes excellent proof that the country, instead of -worrying over politics, has been attending to business. Such a remarkable movement in the commercial world cannot fail to favorably ef fect every branch of industry and every class of population. Noth ing seems able to retard the pros perity procession. The lazier a man is tbe more he is going to accomplish to-morrow. WHY COUGH Why cough and risk consumption, when the celebrated Dr. John W. Bull's Cough Syrup will cure you at once? It never fails to cure throat and lung troubles. For bronchitis, sore throat and hoarseness it is invaluable. COUCH SYRUP Will cure a Hacking Cough. Doses are small and pleasant to take. Doctors recommend it. Price 25 cts. At all druggists. Tax Notice. Those concerned will take notice that I am still doing business at the same old stand, where I offer for the next thirty days (only) the remain der of my stock at first cost. Respectfully, W. A. DENMARK, Tax Collector. Goldsboro, Nov. 11th, '98 Some men owe their success to acting contrary to tbe advice of their friends. If you want nice Groceries go to J. E. Smith's for them. The railroad warehouse sub ject is getting hot. Which are you for, the moving of it north or south. If you are a patron, you have a right to express your opinion. There are good men on both sides, and of course each one thinks he is right. If, however, the convenience of the public are consulted 90 per cent, of them will say move it south. We are going to patronize it wherever it goes. At Martin's Hall the ladies of the town will give a "Karnival of Kommerce" on the night of Thanksgiving, Thursday, Novem ber 24th. The Carnival will be in terspersed with comedy, vocal so los, with violin oblagalos. Admis sion will be: for children, 10c: adults, 20c; reserved seats, 30c. All are invited to attend, They will be helping a good cause be sides getting full value for their money. Mr. Willis P. Kornegay visited Kinston Sunday, returning on Monday. We arc sorry he missed his train and had to take it through the country to Goldsbo ro. Will has no complaint to make except that his legs are mighty sore. One gentleman was a friend indeed, as he took him up and let him ride 16 miles. He feels thankful for his kindness. He says he wont miss the train any more. If you need drugs don't forget to go to J.
