To-Night is Odd Fellows' 11..', Donations Are Still Coming in and the Stocks of TVaras Will Be As Full To-Night As Last Night. (From Daily Argus of Tuesday.) The Knights of. Pytfai&s Fair opened last night under the roost favorable auspices. Promptly at 8 .o'clock Governor Aycock was escort ed to the speaker's stand, accompan ied by a number of prominer.t local . Pythians, and gracefully introduced I to the waiting throng by Judgo W. 8. O'B. Robinson and then his Ex cellency, in a short, but eloquent, forceful , and characterise cal ly h a ppy speech, formally opened the fair, and was enthusiastically applauded by the hundreds of visitors who crowded the spacious floors of the fair building. After the Governor's speech the visitors began to amuse themselves with the various attractions provid - ed for that purpose and also to in spect and make purchases from ' among the numerous and sundry ar ticles offered for sale. To say that the promoters of the enterprise were well pleased with last night's business is but mildly expressing. The receipts and the , crowd far exceeded their most san guine expectations. The fair is already a success and the programme of social enjoyment has not fairly begun. Those who at tended last night were so well en tertained that they will go again to night and to-morrow night, and on through the week, and those who were prevented from attending last night will be sure to be there to night and thenceforth. The music is furnished by the Goldsboro band and is a' very enjoy able feature of the fair. The doors of the fair will be open at 7 o'clock to-night and at 7 o'clock every riMght this week. To-night will be Odd Fellows night and the members of Neuse lodge are expected to attend in a body .wearing the regalia of their order. Mayor Geo. E. Hood will make a ' "rt address to the Odd Fellows at ' p opening to-night, after which ' - - f programme of pleasure as in flged in last night will -commence. The proper arrangements for vent j uion have been made to-day and It lie weather is as warm as last ' jsfht everybody will be more com jrtable. v Donations to the fair are still com g in and the stocks of wares for fie will pe equally as complete and f.s pretty' as those offered last night. I The handsome clock donated by Mr. R. a. Creech will be placed on raffle to-night and it is needless to add that the number of chances will soon be exhausted, as the clock is not onlv a handsome ornament but an excellent timepiece.

The presi : dent to-day denied the application for the pardon of Delgado Crafton, ; formerly of Reidsville, N. C, who ' was convicted in the supreme court of the district of embezzlement and : sentenced by Judge Pritchard to ! two years imprisonment. The youthful prisoner, who has been confined in the district jail, ; pending the consideration of his -application for pardon,will be taken to I Trenton, N.J., where he will begin ; his sentence. ! Crafton, who was a clerk eraploy J ed in the medical school of George town University, embezzled certain moneys of the school. He was sub sequently arrested in Buffalo and re- turned to this city, where he plead ed guilty and made all restitution possible. The attorney general and president, however, were of the opinion that all the mitigating cir cumstances were given due weight by the trial judge in, imposing a moderate sentence of two years. Many appeals were made to Judge Pritchard to- modify the sentence. Governor Aycock and other promi nent North Carolinians interceded i the young man's behalf, but with out success. Judge Pritchard declared, . in im posing sentence, that while the max imum penalty was ten years he would only give the prisoner two years, which was the minimum. At torney General Knox declined to recommend a pardon under these circumstances, and these president has done likewise. WHAT IS DYSPEPSIA? Extreme Thinness a Symptom Scientific Way By Which It Can be Cured. Mi-o-na cures dyspepsia by the only natural method of giving tone and strength to the digestive organs, soothing and healing the irritated and inflamed conditions, and ming ling with the food so that it is more easily assimilated and digested. Extreme thinness and emaciation is one of the principal symptoms of indigestion, but many of the, follow ing symptoms are also in evidence: Uneasiness at mind Defects of vision or hearing Flatulency Heartburn Nausea Gripes Coated tongue Sour taste in the mouth Diarrhoea Dry skin , Nervousness Sick headache Congestion of the head Vertigo or dizzi ness Drowsiness Sleeplessness Palpitation of the heart. stomach Acidity Water-brash Spitting up of food Colic Sensation of weight or heav iness fat pit of stomach Sore mouth Constipation Sedimentin urine Night sweats Headache Cold hands and feet . Pain under shoul der blade Pain between shoulders Confusion of Mi-o-na will cure dyspepsia. A 50 cent box will give strength and tone to the digestive organs and aid the food to assimilate, while its con tinued use for a reasonable length of time will bring bwik. natural weight f and restore, health and strength. A lew days mSk of Mi-o-na will ' show a marked gain in health and in a few weeks thtjre will com- j plete. This a strco statement, but J. H. Hill & Son emphasises it bv agreeing to refold your money if Mi-o-na does not do all that is claim ed for it. ' v H. T.

PAS- What One of Goldsboro's Leading Citizens Has To Say on ' These Two 9 Subjects. - ; There are a few people who do a little thinking as they go along through this vale of tears and the Argus reporter met up with one of this class in his wanderings to-day and he was in a talkative mood. He said: "Those people who expected such big things in the way of trade when the city hall was located where it is now have been somewheat disap pointed. The idea that the trade of the town would follow the Mayor's office andpolice headquarters is sim ply ridiculous. Of course it was a? mistake to locate the city hall where it is. The Board of Aldermen, no doubt, thought that they were doing the best they could under the cir cumstances and I am not one to cenr sure them for their action, but I am satisfied that if they now had the se lection of a location for a city hall they would not put it down beside the old Great Eastern, surrounded almost by negro shanties.' The location makes no difference, howeverf, as far as trade is concerned. The trading district of a city like Goldsboro is too well established to be broken up by the removal of any one building on any institution. Such ideas are worth considering in small towns, possibly, where the town is likely to take a turn and build up in another direction. ((I could not help but be amused by the silly argument of some of the merchants along East and West Cen tre streets when the question of a union passenger depot was being ad vocated so strenuously by the Argus. They claimed, you know, that if the trains were stopped any where else besides right in front of their stores that property would de crease and that the trade of the city would be injured. Such talk is sim ply absurd. The trade would no more follow the railroad depot than it has followed the city hall. Prop erty has not decreased in value on Walnut street by the removal of the city hall and would not decrease on Centre street if the depot was re moved. In fact, I am of the opinion that the removal of the stopping place for the trains, (which is all we have now and the middle of the street is not entitled to the dignified name of a depot) would have a tendency to increase the value of poperty in that locality. Not to mention the convenience afford ed the travelling public, who have now no protection whatever from the weather in getting off and on trains. It is certainly not very de sirable to have the trains stop in front of your door and create a deaf ening noise by the exhausting and escaping- steam for half an hour at a time. "I would be glad to see the Argus inaugurate another campaign for a Union depot, and I believe the prop ertyowners have seen their mistake in opposing such a move and would now.endorae it. I see that Durham ind Charlotte and other towns are to have handsome Union depots and Goldsboro, by reason of her splendid railroad facilities, and being a rail road centre, is as much entitled to one as any town in the State." 9 r t x Relief in Six Hours.

A Beautiful VVedding at Fremont - .Last Thursday Afternoon. ; The, people of Fremont witnessed ore of the most beautiful and elabo rate I marriage ceremonies in the Melodist Church last Thursday that thfyhave had the pleasure of see ing; for some time. The t part ies to thijContract were Mr. Edmund Carl ton Duncan, U. S. Collector of In ternal Revenue, and Miss Alma Catharine Speight, the attractive and accomplished daughter of Mrs. W.UH. Speight, principal of the Whireville Academy . V?hile waiting for the arrival of tho Tiridal party, the spectators, who thrc nged every available seat in the chur-'.hj were delightfully entertained wit a quartette of voices who ren dered5, a pleasing selection, and by Mrs'A'3. C. Exurri and Miss Daisy Woten, of LaGrange,' ho sang solo f , - ' 7 Promptly at the appointed hour the organist began playing Mendel ssoh'qWwedding march and the ush ers, who were Messrs. E. S- Darden, ofWjlson, Frank Howlahd, of Dur hamVietor Boyden and J. A. Dun cap; of .Raleigh, marched down the aisle$ffwo"by two and were followed in the same manner by the brides maids who were Misses Mattie Dar den, of Fremont, Kate Darden, of Goldbbro, Pattie May, of Greene ouht; and Beulah Lawrence, of ICdge mbe. The ushers were at tired V black Prince Alberts and the bridesmaids wore white silk mull black gloves and black picture hats ,ari carried chrysanthemums. Folio wirfhe bridesmaids came the ring e ?rs Master Albert Sidney BartM-of -. Whiteville,and the flower gii.?; litwj is3LarsjdSJDiokSof Fremont. Then came the groom with his best man, Mr. W. A. Mace, of Beaufort. Next came the maid of honor Miss Lily Edmundson, who was daintily attired in pale green voile v.with heavy lace trimmings and pearl embroidery. She carried American beauties. Then came the bride, leaning on the arm of her brother-in-law, Mr. Jno. B. Hooks, of Fremont, who gave her away. The bride was a perfect picture of loveliness and was attired in white voile with lace and chiffon trim mings. She carried bride's roses ancHilies of the valley. The bride and groom faced the waiting minister, Rev A! S. Barnes, of Whiteville, who, while the orga nist very deftly rendered "Sweet and Low," pronounced the beautiful and solemn Methodist ceremony that-ef-fected the eternal 'linking of their lives together in" mutual love and fealty. The church was elaborately and beautifully decorated for the happy occasion, and thronged with the friends from near and far of the pop ular contracting parties. After the ceremony the bridal party were driven to the railroad de pot, where they boarded the North bound train at 1 o'clock for an ex tensive northern bridal tour. The bridal presents, which were on display at the home of Mr. Jno. B. Hooks, whose wife is a sister of the bride, were very numerous and most beautiful, as well as costly and "useful. The bride -gave a sterling silver hat pin to each of tbe bridesmaids and a beautiful, brooch to the maid of honor. There were a number of visitors present from other towns. Among these were Judge, Robinson, Postmaster Dobson, Deputy Collec tor Grimsley, Mr. D. F. Patrick, Collector of the port at Newbern, Mr. and Mr?. W. H. Borden, Mrs. E. "M.

IlEHf KNII THE MEN ARE PRESIDENT AND CASHIER OF BANK IN CAMDEN, S. C. Suicide of Zenip Follows the Acci ' dentar Killing of Boykin Camden Thrilled With V Horrow of Tragedy. Charleston, S. C, Nov. 16. Col onel E. Miller Boykin, United States Marshal for this State, under Cleve land, and a leading banker of Cam den, killed himself accidentally to day. After reaching home he pick ed up his gun, which had a compli cated reversible action, and went out to shoot a hawk. He was discovered an hour afterward lying dead, while his gun was found leaning on the opposite side of the fence. The sup position is that as he started to climb the fence he set the gun over the fence, at the same time making a motion to get over himself, when the gun was discharged. The coro ner's jury gave averdict to this ef fect. . Charleston, S. C, Nov. 16. The suicide of E. Z. Zemp, cashier of the Farmers and - Merchants Bank, of Camden, S. C, shocked the people of the town to-night, a few hours af- ter the accidental self-destruction of ! Col. E. Miller Boykin, president of the bank. . of the death of Colonel Boykin Mr. Zemp left his home ostensibly to go over to Mr. Boykm's, nearby, but instead went to his barn and com mitted suicide, shooting himself with a pistol through the mouth. Few men were held in higher esteem in Camdtn than Mr. Zemp. DAUGHTERS, OF THE CONFED ERACY. i Echoes From the Charleston Conven tion: Mrs. Jno. H. Winder's Excellent Report. The Argus takes pleasure in no ting, as echoes from the Convention of the Daughters of the Confederacy held in Charleston, that out of the many presidents present eight were North Carolinians or the wives of North Carolinians. Among the prin cipally mentioned were Mrs. Alex. Hull, nee Miss Cowan of Wilming ton, representing Georgia; Mrs. Annie Washington Rapley, nee Mis3 Washington of Newbern, President of the Missouri Division, and presi dent of the Chapter of St. Louis, wliere the next Convention will be held; Mrs. F. A. Olds, wife of Col. Olds, who most ably represented North Carolina; Mrs. John H. Win der, nee Tucker of Raleigh, repre senting Ohio, whose enthusiasm for the oldNorth State has never abated, but seems to have grown more fer vent, if possible, since her residence in Columbus Ohio. Loving as she does her native State, and rejoicing in representing the daughters so far away, it was but fitting that her re port should follow that of North. Carolina. j The Argus had the privilege and pleasure of giving to its readers last year the very excellent report of j Mrs. Winder at the New Orleans meeting, and will endeavor to secure her report of this year, which, judg ing from the comments of the press, is even more excellent, enthusiastic and eloquent than that of last year. Fighting, as she says, under but two banners that of the Daughters Qf the King and that of the Daughters of the Confederacy, each banner bear ing a cross and each cross stained with blood, directing her efforts in behalf of both, the first will domi nate, her . work in the latter.
