The Park Never Looked More Beautiful: A Splendid Gather ing of Citizens, and City Z Pride Permeated All and Good Cheer ; Prevailed. Under the auspices of Goldsboro's always public-spirited women, who never tire of well-doing, the mem bers of the Goldsboro Fire Com pany No. 1, who won first prize in the recent State Fireman's Tourna ment, and lowered the world's rec ord for speed which was held up to that time by our other splendid com pany the Eclipse- and the members of the Eclipse Company, who won second prize in the tournament, and likewise lowered their own previous world's championship record, were given an ovation Thursday night, in the name of the city, at beautiful Herman Park, which was largely attended by our citizens, ladies and gentlemen, and regaled with splen did music by the Knights of Pyth ias Cornet and Orchestral Band, the one playing for a while, prior to the banquet,in the beautiful band pavil- ion, and the other, after the banquet, on the west balcony of the lovely Mansion House, while many young ladies and gentlemen engaged in dancing on the smooth and spacious floor of the main room, the whole surroundings the Mansion House, band pavilion and grounds being brilliantly lighted with electric lights. When the appointed hour for the banquet arrived and all were gather ed together, the' handsomely uni formed firemen, beautiful, daintily gowned young ladies, gallant young gentlemen, handsome matrons and no less patriotic city fathers, the scene was one of public spirit calcu - lated to enthuse the city pride of even the most callous, and will long be most pleasantly remembered and pictured over again by all who par ticipated therein. At this stage Col. Jos. E. Robinson came to the front to fulfil his appointed duty and spoke as follows: My Fellow Citizens: It is with peculiar pleasure and very great pride that I welcome you here this evening, in honor or our victorious firemen, who have for the past several years not only success fully maintained our city's suprem acy in the annual state f iremen's tournaments, but have beaten the world's record for speed and effi- pipncv and not content with this they have each of them, the Golds boro No. 1 and the Eclipse, gone back and beaten their own unbeaten rpoords. Is net this cause for pride and con gratulation? Is it not meet that we should accord them in the name of the city they honor the best town in the State this public recognition rrf their undaunted courage ana peerless achievements, inspired as they were in their tedious but tireless nraotices and courageous daring by city pride, by love of their home town, by public spirit that ia the mud-sill of ail true civic prosperity i And it is fit and proper that this celebration should take place here in Herman Park the common vant age ground of our city, the gilt to our people and to all time of two of our most worthy citizens, who have never failed in civic duty or in tiiblic spirit: I refer to Messrs. Henry and Solomon Weil, who in the gift-of this beautiful park to the hmlded for themselves a monument more enduring than brass or marble, for it is founded in hu- man hearts, mrougn uii te I"""- .V?ZZamvZ as the years come and go, and the passing waves of humanity roll on, while centuries fade, the flow ers will bud and bloom, the trees put forth their foliage, and the birds nest' therein and sing: here art will adorn and nature smile in approval: here children will gambol upon the greensward and health invigorate their sport: here, with the passing years, may come the toilworn and the poor from the city's ceaseless din and gather ideas of order and beauty and learn the blessed lessoa of commoa brotherhood. It is in such places as these the world over - where art and nature combine, that bruised and bleeding hearts find solace and glad human souls gather the inspiration and the strength, to love and be merciful to lift up and cheer the lowly and the smileless and the joyless, and to sow the seeds of kindness that the flow ers of a better life may bloom and make the earth more beautiful, for beneath the human breast some times shallow sometimes deep there ever beats the human heart, and to the drum-taps of joy the heart is more prone to respond, than it is to the low, muffled croak of the sel fish and narrow-minded. "Not what I have but what I do is my kingdom." This is no trifling truism clothed in great swelling words of vanity, but Truth itself wondrous rich from the lips of one of the greatest of ethrical philoso phers Carlyle. It is not what men have but what they do in their day and generation that makes its impress upon human ity, whether for good or for evil, and they who love their fellow men are they who make the world better and brighter and more prosperous. And so you, victorious and peer less firemen of Goldsboro, have done your full duty in lifting your town to the highest pinnacle of fame, the world over,in the annals of firemen's contests. It remains for us as citi zens each and all of us to do our lull duty our utmost, in pushing her ever forward and holding her peerless in other respects. And when we shall have done this, then we can, indeed, feel the thrill of pride over "Greater Goldsboro" and, somewhat paraphrazing, exclaim with the poet fcicott "Breathes there the so dead man with soul Who never to himself hath said This is my own my native town!" We all to-night feel and realize that We've Got the Best Town in the State. Let us all be ever alert and aeti ve in keeping it so, and to gether we will go forward. Col. Robinson's remarks were re ceived with generous applause, and immediately thereafter the young ladies began dispensing to the fire men and numerous other guests the banquet, which was served in courses, consisting of every thing good to eat in lavish abundance, substantial viands of several varie ties most palatably cooked, and deli cious creams, sherbets and cakes; all of which were largely enjoyed and full justice done to the occasion. Capt. Lionel Weil, of the cham pion uompany uoiasDoro sso. 1 was then called upon and responded in appropriate words, expressive of the appreciation of his company and the entire department of the delight ful reception accorded in their hdn or, and thanked especially the lad ies in charge and the citizens gener ally, on behalf of the firemen, and his remarks were reundly ap plauded. Mayor Hood was next eafted on and, as usual, responded in his char acteristic happy style in wods ap propriate to the occasion, and was cordially applauded. , xne enure occasion wsa sue a complete and enjoyable suceeaa thai the good women who had engineer ed and chaperoned it were them selves most deeply gratified, and at their request the leading spirit of the whole affair, Mrs. Col. T. H. Bain, was given three rousing cheers by the firemen, which was joined in lustily by all present! v After this, music and dancing, con versation and strolls around ths bal i conies and about the beautiful and I brilliantly lighted grounds were in dulged in, and gradually the great gathering dispersed.

Hill & Son are recommend ing to their customers, as a cure for bay fever, Hyomei. It is claimed for this remedy that it stops the spansmodic paroxysms of sneezing, the smarting and run ning of the eyes and nose, and other acute symptons of this disease. Manv persons have been cured of Hay fever ; by Hyomei and its in ventors profess ta be able to prevent both the occurrence of the annual at tacks and to arrest the progress of the disease when in the most chronic form. Among those who have been cured bv Hvomei are J. F. Forbes, chief dispatcher B. & M. R. R., McCook, Neb., who writes: "I have never had relief from any remedy for hay fever even temporarily, until I used Hyo mei. I will alwayo recommend it whenever occasion offers." A. Hamlin, Westford, Mass., writes, "Hyomei cured me of hay fever in one week's time. I consider it a duty to tell others who suffer from this disease." These endorsements are samples of hundreds that have been received by the manufacturers of Hyomei, but J. H. Hill & Son offer to refund the money if Hyomei does not do all that is claimed for it, is the strong est proof that can be offered as to the reliance they place upon Hyomei to cure hay fever.

He Had Loved the Girl From Child hood, Though it 13 Thought Miss Gentry Did Not Return His Affec tion. Both Very Popular. Richmond, Va., August 31. Her bert B. Bates, a son of city engineer, Frank T. Bates, this morning shot and killed Miss Rena Gentry, at her home, 3020 East Broad street, and then killed himself with the same weapon which he used in killing Miss Gentry. That the shooting was the act of a man who had suddely lost his reason no one who knew the young man doubts. The shooting took place in the front parlor of Mrs. Gentry's home, no one being in the room save the two young people. Mr. Bates and Miss Gentry had been regarded as lovers since they were small children, the young man being 'madly infatuated with the young lady. It is not believed that she return ed his love, though she had high re gard for him as a friend. He ac companied Miss Gentry to church last night, returning home with her and a lady friend of hers, and ap peared in the best of humor, re maining at the home of Miss Gentry for a short while, and then going to his own home, two squares further east in Broad street. Mr. Bates was in his 24th year. His father and mother are away from the city. He arose this morn ing about 7 o'clock and left the house. He was a little dejected, but said as he went out of the front door to a member of the family: "I'll see you later." Instead of going to the place at which he took his meals, he boarded a car and went down town, and it is supposed that he procured the pistol and then went back to the home of Miss Gentry. He appeared there about 8 o'clock, and was admitted to the house. Miss Gentry met him at the door, and they entered the parlor. He had been there about fif teen minutes when the members of the family were startled by two pis tol shots in rapid succession. They at once rushed to the parlor door, which was open. They found the room filled with smoke and the smell of powder fillincr the house. On the floor, possibly three feet apart, lay the two bodies. Miss Gentry was dead when seen, the shot having been instantly fatal. Mr. Bates was in the throes of death when the room was entered. He lived possibly three minutes after inflicting the wound on himsefl. Miss Gentry wa3 in her 22nd year and was one of the best known and most lovable young women in the city. She was a member of Union Station Methodist church and an earnest church-worker. She was of gentle disposition and her . parents almost worshiped her. Mr. Bates had never known the taste ol liquor or tobacco and never used a profane word. Young Bates was note clerk at the First National Bank and an examin ation ot his books this morning showed his accounts to be correct to a cent, never having been found in correct since his service with the bank. He was a model clerk in every way. ." . v . Small hats and big opinions some bow axe found simultaneously. mis nmm TO MR. JNO. W. AYCOCK, OF FREMONT, NORTH CAROLINA. Ex-Sheriff B. F. Scott, of Pikeville, N. C, Was in the City To Day and Turned Over All His Possessions For the Bene fit of His Creditors. . - Ex-Sheriff B. F. Scott, who re tired from office last December, made an assignment to-day to Mr, Jno. W. Aycock, of Fremont, a3 trustee for his bondsmen and all creditors, without preference and without reservation. He names in the deed of assignment all the real estate of which he is now po3sed, to gether with all money on hand and all personal property of whatever nature. The trustee is to turn all the property into money and apply the same to the payment of all deb ts which may be presented. The State of North Carolina, it Is Understood, has the biggest claim, which will amount to something like $9,000. This is due from back taxes, which have not been settlad for. He names the county of Wayne and the public school fund in the deed of assignment, but it is said that this will amount to very little. Mr. T. E. Yelverton, of Fremont, holds a mortgage on the real estate for $3,600, which is well secured. The total amount of the ex-sheriff's indebtedness will amount to some thing near 15,000. He names several open accounts af follows: Yelverton Bros., of Fremont, $517.00; Smith & Yelverlon, of Goldsboro, $92.50; J. P. Smith & Son, of Pikevillt, $325.00; W. R. & J. T. Hooks, of Fremont, $200.00; Geo. D. Best, of Fremont, $100.00; Masonic' Lodge, of Pikeville, $290.00. NOMINATED IN THE BOND. J. H. Hill & Son Give Their Signed Bond to Return Money If Mi-o-na Does Not Restore Health. Have J. H. Hill & Son sign this bond, when you buy a box of Mi-o-na, the great flesh-forming food and digestion regulator. GUARANTEE BOND. We hereby agree to refund the price paid for Mi-o-na, if the purch aser tells us that it has not in creased flesh and given freedom from stomach troubles. Signed ,.. If food fails to assimilate, it dees not properly nourish. A little food thoroughly "assimilated is better than a great mass of food that is un digested and passes through the sys tem without nourishing. Mi-o-na, the wonderful flesh-forming food, helps the food to assimi late, and soon shows by a steady gain in weight that it will restore health and flesh. It never fails to build up good, solid flesh, regulate digestion and give tone and strength to the diges tive organs, so that dyspepsia is a thing of the past. Read carefully the guarantee bond above and you will see that J. H. Hill & Son have so much faith in Mi-o-na that they will sign a bond to refund the money if Mi-o-nA does not do all that is claimed for It. Gat out this bond, take it to their store to-day, and when - you buy & bx of Mi-o-na, ask them to sign it. Lcfc them take all the risk. - i' - - k v ;f . . '.y .
