The season for tax paying is al ready upon us and Mr. W. A. Denmark, the popular collector for Guidbboro and this township, is in his office in the court house every week day.

The telephone line in Goldsboro, with its many patrons at home and long distance connections with Ral jigh and Durham and all the intervening towns, is one of the greatest conveniences we have. The superintendent of the Golds boro Exchange, Mr. Phil Dortcb, is now busy running new lines for new patrons and he is all the time trying to improve the service and give the public satisfaction. Mr. J. J, Meador, the auc tioneer of the popular Farmers' Warehouse, informs the ARGUS that there was 10,000 pounds of tobacco sold on the floor of their warehouse Friday at an aver age of 10 cents per pound. This high average when considered in connection with the large amount is something to boast of and is lust what has made the Golds boro market so popular with the iarmers who oring their crop bere. The tobacco breaks on this market have been unusually large this week, due no doubt to the increased price which bas pre vaued lor several days, and which will continue, so tobacco ineh think, to the, close of the season. The' Goldsboro market has always paid the highest market price, and of the many patrons of this market, who come from not only all oyer Wayne county, but also from the sur rounding counties, nune have - to go home dissatisfied.

The special meeting of the Board of City Aldermen last night was attended by all the members of that body, Mayor Peterson presiding. The principal business for which the Board was called together was first taken up that of the strin gent sewerage ordinance for the four leading business blocks, find the petitioners asking for a repeal of the ordinance were represented by Messrs. C. B. Aycock and W. T. Dortcb. After a full discus sioq of the case, the Board decided to enforce the ordinance as it btands, giving, however, 30 days of those who, pending the consid eration of the petition, had failed to equip their establishments with the required sewerage closets. Af ter the 12th of November tbe or dinance will be enforced to the letter. The question of bicycles was next taken up, and in view of recent decisions of the courts that bicycles are vehicles, and that accidents, therefore, to pe destrians upon the sidewalks from contact with such vehicles would subject the city to liabilty for damages, the Board of Alder men promptly enacted an ordin ance prohibiting the riding of bicycles uponany sidewalk in the ciiy, and requiring them to carry lanterns at night. This ordinance will work hardship to the bi cyclists, but it will insure safety to pedestrians upon the side walks, who are the great ma jority of our citizens, and will insure our municipality against damage suits resulting from con tact with reckless wheelmen. The next thing to engage the consideration of the Board was the hog question, and after some little discussion the Board en acted, by a unanimous vote, that after January 1, 1900, it shall be unlawful for hogs live hogs, lo be kept within the city limits. Wheelmen haye ten days from October 5, in which to conform to the new bicycle ordinance. After the 15 instant it will be strictly enforced throughout the entire fity. i t.e resolution recently enacitu in regard to publishing the pro ceedings of the Board was, on motion of Alderman Powell, who insroduced it, reconsidered and withdrawn.

Read Wtiat ttie Public San ot mem : A bank president, of high reputation, writes the following : "About three hundred years ago Cer vantes wrote : 'Blessings light on him who first invented sleep.' Had he written in this late day, he would probably have included the makers of the Royal Elastic Felt Mattress. Your mattress is next to a mother's lullaby, or a 'conscience void of offense,' and it affords me pleasure to speak in high terms of it. The one I purchased several months ago is giving very great satisfaction. Your Mr. Borden told the whole truth when he persuaded me to buy it. I discarded a hair mattress for yours." A prominent physician in a neighboring town, tells us that his sister, who was suffer ing with consumption, could find no comfort on any mattress, until he purchased one of our Royal Elastic Felt Mattresses; and that after she began using our mattress she never complained of her bed again. One of the oldest mattress manufactur ers in Baltimore, who has supplied the trade there for the last twenty-five years with hair mattresses, said, when solicited to handle our mattress, that it was not to his interest to do so, in that when he sold a hair mattress he always had to repair same every three or four . years, thus giving him four or five chances at his customer; whereas, if he sold a Royal Elastic Felt Mattress, it would last the cus tomer as long as he would need it without having to be worked oer, and he got only the first profit, which is small compared with that made on a hair mattress. One of these mattresses can be seen at our store at any time, and we will take pleas ure in showing it to you. Over forty of these sold here in Goldsboro in the past six months, and not a single complaint. We also make Pillows and Bolsters of the same material. -They are far superior to feather pillows and bolsters. Try them.
