The alarm of fire about midnight last
night was occasioned by the burning of
a negro tenement house on the proper
ty of Mr. N. B. Outlaw, over near Her
man Park. The fire department was
promptly on the scene and the flames
were speedily extinguished, leaving
much of the house yet standing.
Mr. and Mrs. N. O'Berry have gone
to Atkinson, in Pender county, the
home of Mrs. O'Berry's venerable
mother, Mrs. Eliza Moore, who, we are
distressed to chronicle.is reported to be
critically ill. Mrs. Mooie has many
friends in this city, where she some
times visits, and we all wish for her
an early and safe recovery.
Mrs. W. R. Hollowell was summon
ed to Charlotte, yesterday morning on
the early train by a night phone that
her venerable father, Mr. E. L. Vail, was
critically ill. She arrived at his bed
side at 9 o'clock, and the end came at
10:30. Her hosts of friends in this city
and county and throughout the State
will deeply sympathize with her in her
sad bereavement.
The members of the "Bound Dozen
Club," of Mt. Olive, an organization
composed of leading literary ladies of
that progressive town, came up to the
-city at noon today to take dinner with
one of their most popular members
now a resident of Goldsboro Miss
Lucy Hatch. It goes without saying
that it was an enioyable occasion. It
could not be otherwise with Miss
Hatch as hostess and the congenial
"Round Dozen" as guests, and with
the Best Town in the State as the ren-
devouz.
A romantic marriage, which was en
tirely a surprise, as well to the families
of the contracting parties as to their
many friends, occurred Monday night
about 9 o'clock, when Mr. Henry Jones,
son of Dr. and Mrs. W. J. Jones, and
Miss Margaret Castex, the beautiful
and popular daughter of Mr. and Mrs
F. L. Castex, and one of the most ap
preciated members of the Goldsboro
Graded School, presented themselves
to Rv. F. W. Farries, accompanied by
witnesses and provided with license,
' and requested that he make them man
and wife, which he accordingly did
The happy young couple immediately
drove to the westbound Southern train
which they boarded for a bridal trip
Th Argus wishes them health, happi
ness and prosperity through length of
