The news has been received here of the death of Mr; N."M. Webber In Wil ton of scarlet fever. He was a young and industrious mechanic and had late ly gone from here to Wilson for employ ment. His mother and brother. Mr. Charley Webber, live here in Golds boro and cannot attend the funeral which will be held in Wilson -today. The advance agent of the Joshua Simpkins Company, which appears here next Saturday .night, was in the city today making arrangements for the appearance of his company here. Speak ing of the Breezy Time Company, which is billed to appear here tomorrow night and which received some, very uncom plimentary notices in the Norfolk pa pers where they appeared Christmas night, he said that the show was as good of the kind as there is on the road? and that a boisterous audience in Norfolk prevented the company from giving the Greensboro Aklermen Have a Paving Problem And Opinions Differ as to the Wisdom of the City Fath- ers in the-Premises Greensboro, N. C, Dec. 30. Special. Ihe honorable aldermen of this borough are in a muddle over the paving of South Elm street and a " few other mat ters that arise now and then to vex tie souls of men weighted down by the ?ares and anxieties of olSeiariife. The ildermen are all honorable and patriotic men, moved by a firm determination and i single purpose to do their whole duty, regardless of consequences or fear or favor. But they sometimes come upon knotty problems, one of which is the aiatter of paving the principal business thoroughfare of the town. For months and months the subject has been dis cussed in committee meetings and -by the board as a whole, with the result ttiat the question is no nearer solution than when it was first mooted. ' home time ago a certain companv, learning that asphalt would probably be used in paving the street, made a propo sition to do the work. - It is said that the proposition was satisfactory in regard to . pnce, and it is also Said that a majority of the aldermen favored the "ue5uasphalL thought bv some JAM, the proposition would be accepted Carbolic Acid iron. One of the spectators remarked that it was .the wind burning. The noiseof the continued reports brought quite a crowd and among them was an "old time" hunter carrying a muzzle-loading shotgun. He stood for some time silent and motionless, watch ing' the work of the machine before him, then remarked, "I could git the whole garld-arned covey with that thing." . The funniest thing during the prac tice was a negro's experience. He was aliout a mile away hunting in the woods The fellow told me about it the next day. When Mr. Mabe was trying the target down the rfver the rear prong of the. tripod settled slightly in the sand raising the muzzle above thejbankv The negro heard ihe bullets come rattling through the woods but he could, not hear the report of -the gun. He said: ."I heard them things popping on ihe trees but I didn't wait to see what it was. away back and sat oown." ChTistmas has j!ome and gone, .and another year, full of, events and calam ities, seasoned with good and evill will soon be added to the annals of history.

The company nas been to Golds boro oftentimes before and if it should prove unentertainiu this time it would be a great disappointment to patrons of the Messenger Opera House. A tele gram from Greenville, where the com pany appeared Friday, says it is the best show that has been there for years. . The ball and banuuet of Eclipse Fire Company will .tako place new year's night, the banquet being served in the Arlington Hotel armory and the dance being held in the armory of the Golds boro. Rifles. Tickets which will' admit to both will cost $2.50. Banquet tickets separate 50 cents and dance tickets sep arate are $2.00. The public should anl will patronize the firemen liberally. They deserve all that can 6e done for 'them. The Mc Daniel orchestra of Raleigh will furnish the music for the dance. . Mr- R. B. Miller, of Shelby, is here visiting his brother. Dr.. J. F.

Miller, have returned to Morganton, where Prof. Miller ,holds apposition in the Deaf and Dumb Asylum. with a whoop, but not so. Just before a vote was to have been taken on the matter some one called attention to the fact that .the city had not .advertised for bids for doing the work. The ob jection held good and the proposition was not accepted. Now there are those who think the aldermen acted wjth com mendable wisdom; in not accepting a proposition hastily and before other con cerns had been asked or invited to bid on doing' the work, while there are others who hold that it would have been good business management to have ac cepted the proposition at once and with out any delay. One man says the city dads hven't got enough sense to keep out. of the fire, while another holds that they, are' possessed of longer heads than any of their constituents. , s Frank Lane, a young negro man, was arrested, this morning on the charge of attempting to criminally assault Lizzie Wagstaff, a negro girl. There are several small washouts on the Southern Railway near Wilkesboro, but no serions damage is reported.

V KILLED BY A KICH A Mule Plants His Hoof on a Jofiesboro Man's Head Jonesboro, N. C, Dee. 28. Correspondence "of The Morning Post.

A young white man named Matthews has complained to one of our justices that on Thrusday night he was assault ed bv twn other voiine- viti lnen nam- Morris aud Stone, and was shot twice by them before he could make his escape. He exhibits wounds which he claims were made by the pistol balls. These.' wounds are in the head, and are so slight that it is difficult to tell how they were caused. Tho defendants claim that no pistols or other weapons were used. The defendants, Morris and Stone, or one of them, have sworn" out a war rant against Matthews for forcible tres- pass, and he has been bound over to court. . . ... Mr. J. E. Wicker, a very respectable and well known white man living near town, left his home on Thursday night to attend some Christmas festivities at a neighbor's house, and was found about day-break the next inorkig lying in his stable lot in a stupor A physician was summoned as soon as possible and everything possible was done for him, but he died about three o'clock that af ternoon. He had ridden a .'mule, and had evidently returned home during the j night and was kicked m the head by the i mule after he had removed the saddle. His skull was terribly fractured and the; full size of the mule's hoof could be traced by-the fracture. The bridle hadt also been taken off. He leaves a wife and family. The blood hounds kept in town by Mr. W. G. Parrish were stolen from their pen Thursday night, and the fact caused some little Anxiety to those of our citi zens who attempted to reason out the purpose of -the theft. They could not possibly have escaped. The hue and cry was so great that they were releas ed and returned home last night with no sign of travel about them. Their tak ing off is likely to remain a mystery. WALTER LEAK DIES IN GEORGIA Hope Mills the Seene of a Marriage and Reception Fayetteville, N. C, Dec. 30. Correspondence of The Morning Post. Mr. Walter F. Leak died at Barton, Ga., at 7 o'clock yesterday morning, and his remains were brought here for burial today. . , Mr. Leak was long a prominent busi ness man of Fayetteville, first as mem ber of the firm of Rose & Leak, and afterwards of the Cape Fear Dry Goods Company. He was also for years a leader in social circles, endowed with i ii i . . - . . j lovable personal qualities, and knitting to himself many warm friends. Stalwart, athletic, fond of the sports of strong manhood, it was a surprise and shock to the community when his health broke down about two years ago; and not even the devoted care and attention of Dr. and Mrs. H. W. Lilly, with whom he passed his last days until he moved South, availed to check the inroads of his fatal malady. ' The deceased married Miss Annie Mirr chison, daughter of the late Col. John R. Murchison, a gallant Confederate sol dier, by whom he had one child, both dying some years ago. A pretty marriage was solemnized at Hope Mills, in the union, by Rev. J. B. Fisher, of Miss Lillie Smith, one of the very lovely girls of the place, to Mr. William Dowdy, of Virginia. The wed ding .festivities included an elegant din ner and reception at night. : Reception and Supper Littleton, N. C, Dec. 30. Correspondence of The Morning Post.

"You," he thundered, addressing the the trembling young man, "you kissed this lady six times on the journey." The lovers were awed and showed by their confusion that the accusation was true. "Good!" shouted shrdl'vew shrdshrd "Good!" said the stern parent, taking Sherlock aside, "but how did you ever find it out?" "Dead easy," grinned the great detec tive.
