THE WITiMTNGTON. MESSENGER. THURSDAY. MAY 9, lSJ) V f GOLDSBORO DEPAKTHEVT Mr. E- A- Wrisrht U city and county reporter for this department, and friend in town and country are requested to communicate to him all matter of local interest that may occur unuer men oocrr- tim. - x: GOLDSBORO JOTTINGS. Morehead City is to light by tricity. dcc- We are clad to learn that Mr. trastus W. Denning is slightly better. Fine weather now. but it will storm Before Monday, the thirteenth. No finer weather ever blessed than we are favored with now. us A great many children in town have been sick, and some are still suffering with measles. The epidemic has been quite extensive among the little folks. Mr. C F. R. Kornegay, of the Mount Olive section, an old patron ot the Mes senger, and a staunch friend and sup- Dorter from the birth of the paper, was in to see uj on Wednesday. Messrs.Kelly & Hines, at their nu rket. corner of Walnut and John streets, are treating their customers just now with some of the finest beef we have seen in the market since the surrender. Six hundred and thirty-one bushel boxes of garden peas were shipped from this market to the various north ern cities, and eleven car loads came up from New-Berne via this city. Mrs. N. S. Williamson, of West Vir ginia, on the way to her bereaved niece, Mrs; R. H. Hilton, at New-Berne, was detained1 in Goldsboro twenty hours, on accoant of the bad connection New Berne has with the outside world. We are glad to know that our old friend James H. Smith, has been ap fKinted to his old portion at the ware house of the Wilmington and Wldon Railroad, this city. Mr. Smith, we knoar to be one of the most expert and efficient Railroad officers. - . Messrs. G. W. Moore and T. H. Coaklcy, of Baltimore, who own and operate the oyster cannery at New Berne, having closed for the season, re turned home on Wednesday. More such institutions in j our State would be good for. us. While we regret the removal of Mr. Thomas Head from the police force, whom the people regarded as one of the most vigilant officers of the force, yet we rejoice that his "billy" has fallen into the hands of one so worthy to tote it as Mr. John M. Swarengen. Mr. Swarengen has been several terms chief of police and the city never had a better. Quite an ingenious piece of mechan ical work is on display at the popular jewelry establishment of Mr. L. D. Giddens. It is a miniature Washing ton monument, with a full working clock, likewise ot miniature proportions doing service in the dome. It is the work of Mr. B. F. Giddens, who is al ready noted for hfs mechanical and artistic skill. Rev. John T. Abernethy is still aiding the Rev. M. M. McFarland in the pro tracted meeting at St. John M. E. Church, He preached Tuesday night to a fair congregation ffom the text: "No man having put his hands to the plough and looketh back is worthy of the kingdom of hea'wen." The interest seems to be on the wane, as there was only one penitent, although the sermon seemed to make a good impression. REPORT OF T. II . BAIN, CITY CLERK. Amount received by cityclerk for fines, cemetery lots, etc., $1,429.14. He submits a very elaborate report, and es pecially on the cemetery, and offers some valuable suggestions: First, that all vacant lots be nicely leaned off and numbered. . Second, that the square known as "charity square" be but in good condi tion: ; Third, that the lower part of the cem etery known on the map of ' same as, "the marsh" be put in thorough order. Fourth, that all walks running East and West be called street andalt walks running Northland South be called avenues.a'nd that they be named. -T.

Most of the sickness of the human family results from the drinking wate. and that used in the preparation and cooking of food. Their drinking water would be of the highest consideration f people took any thought of the pre servation of health and life. j What we call malaria is principally due to the poison taken into the system in the water weXMnk If the people of Eastern Carol inawo aid abandon their wells, build properciiterns. and take care that the water xfrom their roofs came clean and properlyfiUered, and the ci items keot oure. we snOJjld hear of but few cases of chills and feve There is a popular opinion abroad that our section of the State is a grave yard and it all comes from the local com plaints resulting from the drinking water our people use. The wells in the towns of Eastern Carolina are, for the most parti mere cesspools of filth, abounding in human bile, conveyed by the percolation through the earth of poisoned water, draining from the privies. No thickly settled community, or long established home, where the families are large, can possibly have pure well-water. People take no thought of these things, but ac customed to the vile stuff, learn to like it, and brag on their excellent drinking water. . Happily for Goldsboro, she is soon to have a public watei- upply, and none to soon to avoid certain epidemic; for the drinking water here is as bad as can be found in the State. Old residents will not admit this, but strangers, and new-comers, who have been accustomed to drinking pure water, know it is sc. Twenty Hours into Yesterday. Mention has frequently been made of the great want of a double-daily mail and passenger service on the Atlantic Railroad, between New-Berne and Goldsboro. New-Berne is a city of quite ten thousand people.including the suburban population, and is a place of no little commercial importance, but its system of mail and passenger carriage is worthy of a back-woods crossroads blacksmi.h shop, and groggcy st-nd, of fjrty jdrs ago. That city is exactly twenty hours into yesterday .every day of its life. For a place of its natural advantages and commanding importance in the business world, New-Berne, though 1. but sixty miles off the great Atlantic Coast Line thoroughfare, is about as difficult and annovinsr a point to make. by one-hall of the traveling public, as one could pick out among all the rail road stations of the State, and in the matter of the mails would be about as well served by a return to the old stage coach days of the long ago. : Every interest of -that city, and sur rounding section of country suggests the' neccessity of a double daily mail ser. vice, the trains should be run over the Atlantic Road in connection with the double daily trains of the Atlantic Coast Line. It would pay the road to so run its trains, for it woiikTmore than double the business of the road" New-Berne is so difficult and objec tionable a point to reach and visit, that all" av'oidit wbo can. -"An ordinary Dusiness errand involves thetime and l..

"Let the DeadBury Their Dead. ' X X , . x. We are pained to say it, but truth and candor compels us to sav that we do not "think there is enough "interest taken, by the white people of Golds boro, in the burying of the dead. Surh. at least, is our observation, especiall -in Regard to paying the last tribute of .respect to our dead poor. This, we think,x is a sad reflection upon our boasted religion and civilization. When a poonrtvari or woman dies in this city,' of late years, it, is almost an impossi bility to get enoiigh men to attend the funeral to give them a decent burial, and especially, itxthey die and are to be buried in the working days. The doc trine among our people seems to be lit- terallyrx Letthe dead bury their dead. -X x Witn most people the ancle of reflec- uon is an ooiuse angle. x ; A TWonatfi Discoverr Another wonderful discovery has been made and that too by a lady in this county.
