A highly enjoyable social dance was given by the young gentlemen of the city in the Arlington hotel, Mon day night, whieh was kept up till the small hours in the morning. The scramble for the post office here still continues. Some of the applicants have never done any ser vice for the Democratic cause, yet, nevertheless, are in for the plum.

They will find that the Democratic party will give them all the relief that wise legislation can give them, and furthermore, that it being the only true People's party. i We learn that W. C.

His parents, Thomas and Ann Eliza (Brown) Shepherd, vrerc also Virginians by birth and of English lineage. Part of his au cesters were North Carolinians, and one on his maternal side, Dr. Al brigdton Browne, a surgeon iu the English uayy, purchased lands on the Nottaway and Chowan rivers and settled there. Judge Shepherd's mother died when he was but two years old and the death of his father followed iu 1859. Soon thereafter he came to North Carolina with his oldest brother, William S., and settled at Murfreesboro, which he made his home till the war came on, when, at the age of fourteen, he enlisted in the Confederate army. Being too 3'oung for other service, he was made a "marker" and as such con tinued for twelve mouths, when he was selected as military operator in which capacity he did both field and station work till the close of the war. Here as elsewhere he distin guished himself for his fidelity to duty. The fall of his elder brother Lieut. W. S. Shepherd, while lead iug his company at Sharpsburg, de prived him of his chief counsellor and friend, and when the war closed he had to begin the battle of life alone, without money and depend ent upon his own exertion. Not discouraged,however,he took charge of the telegraph office at Wilson, N. C, and supported himself while he prosecuted his studies espec ially the law, lor which he early de veloped a fondness and aptness After several years of such prepar ation and work, he entered the State University, where he studied law under the late Win. II. Battle, and was admitted to the bar in 1809. He began the practice of law in Wilson, but in 1871 moved to Wash ington, N, C, and formed a co-partnership with Maj. Thomas Sparrow. Already rising in his profession, in 1S72 he was most happily mar ried to Miss Elizabeth 15., eldest daughter of Mr. Silvester T. Brown. Two sons have blessed this union. Jamas E., deceased, and Silvester B. Shepherd. Judge Shepherd was a member of the constitutional convention of 1875, and though the youngest man in the convention, he was on the Judiciary committee where he showed his usual skill and industry. He began his judicial career as a judge of the inferior court in 187G. His bearing and conduct there and in his profession was such that in the. summer of 1882 he was nomina ted superior court judge for the first district, to which position he was elected at the ensuing election, fill ing iu the meantime, by appoint ment of Governor Jarvis, the unex pired term of Judge Eure, w ho had resigned. Serving with fidelity and acceptability until 1888, he was nominated and elected a justice of the supreme court, which position he occupied until his recent appoint ment as Chief Justice by Governor Holt. On the bench Judge Shepherd has developed his fine legal ability by the most patient and assiduous study. He is noted for his modera tion and conservatism. In manner he is kind and affable, modest aud unostentatious. He is popular with the bar as well as the people. This appointment is eminently fit. It will give universal satisfaction. The new Chief Justice will prove a worthy successor of the profound jurists who have gone before him. State Chronicle. Bargains For Everybody. The New York Bargain Store is now filled with the most complete and largest variety of Fall and Win ter goods ever shown in Goldsboro. The prices are as captivating as the styles, as every single article has been marked in plain figures and that the very lowest, considering the scarcity of money. Everything is sold at one price and therefore it is just as easy for a child to purchase anything at the N. Y. Bargain Store as it would be for an older or more experienced person.
