Croker and the tiger seem to be in the same boat. The moth ball aroma is very pre valent at this season of the year. Mr. Watterson is Kentucky's favorite son, and also he is an early bird. The hazers are now football play ers, and they are making - up for lost time. The dynamite Napolions of fee nance work after regular banking hours. The Hon. Mark Hanna is guiltless at least of the Booker Washington incident. The Brooklyn's loop, made by Captain Cook, is fully established and justified. Cresceus, king of trotters, is go ing on the stage, and may become a barn stormer. The civil and military authorities in the Philippines ought to form a "get together" club. Nobody has so far alluded to the late .Lorenzo Snow as a hero. And yet he had thirty-eight wives. Wonders will never cease. Anum ber of titled foreigners have recently married American girls without for tune. r The wav in which Pat Crowe at tempts to dictate terms to the police is conclusive proof of the cool nerve I of the man. The I report of a threatened out break in Afghanistan over the eleva tion of TJmar Kahn is probably ameer idle rumor. If Mr. Carnegie is still worried over how not to die rich, he might ' try Sir Thomas Lipton's job of try i ng to lift the cup.

Although Goldsborois the best town in the State and is so by reason of the character, energy and enterprise of her citizens and their successes, as well as for her fortuitous location and peerless climate nevertheless, Goldsboro is not without indifferent citizens; and one of the greatest draw backs to any community is the indifferent citizen. Here in Goldsboro this class is not confined to any certain ele-1 menu In fact, we often hear men t r r I inn wey "Know mue auu care less about public questions," and display an indifference as to the progress and future of the town ojj,i ii,i O to dishearten, or at least dampen the ardor of those who believe that Goldsboro can be made the largest cUy in North Carolina, which is certainly the best State in the Uqioe; the distinction, therefore, of being the best town in North Carolina means more than a name. And yet, most of these indif ferent citzens would be indie- nant if you should tell them that , they are not good cit z ns, ana i J & 'I are largely responsioie, mrougn . i -tt .i t i their sins of omissioD, for the I ills and abuses of which they are often the first to complaiD, but you would be telling the truth.
