i Editor Argus: There seems
to be an erroneous idea concern
ing t'12 recent meetirgs held by
the physicians of this city. Some
ic!8 us, either iguornntly or mali-ci-u-dy,
are trying to spread the
impression that the "Doctors are
forming a trust." Please read
carefully:
The physicians have not ad
v;;r.ced the fees for medical atten
tion, but have come to a definite
understanding among themselves
to have fixed rates, so that they
themselves and the public may
know they are receiving jnst
treatment. The charges cf the
physicians of Goldsboro that have
(ecu adoptf d and priuted on their
fie bill are more moderate than in
any other city in North Carolina.
Wo have compared them with
those fiom other towns. In many
iv:pccts the rates on the fee bill
are less than have heretofore been
generally charged in this town.
Below are the resolutions setting
forth the objects of our society.
Please read carefully. The Fie
Bills ate conspicuously placarded

A startling incident, of which
Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia,
was the subject, is narrated by
him as follows: "I was in a most
dreadful condition, My skin was
almost yellow, eyes sunken,
tongue ccated, pain continually
in back and sides, no appetite
gradually growing weaker day
by day. Three pbysicians had
given me up. Fortunately, a
friend advised -Electric Bitters;'
and to my great joy and surprise,
the first bottle made a decided
improvement. I continued their
use for thres weeks, and am now
a well man. I know they saved
my life, and robbed the grave of
another victim." No one should
fail to try them. Only 50cts. a

gets flat cn his back, ur.-u le to do a stroke

can hardly save his life.

Daily Argus of Saturday.
Oa the morrow throughout tbe
Christian world tbe gL.d song will
be, Christ is risen from the dead,
and men u-'d angels will sig Hal
lelujahs to the resurrected Lord.
Flowtr-deckcd altars, pealing or
gans, glorious Te Deutns and
worshipping millions, throughout
the Christian wor'J, will proclaim
the grandest truth ever given to
man, that death has boon con
quered by the Sjq of G el!
Oa that first Easter daj-, in fan
away Jud:a, the ai'gal who kept
watch in tha rock-hewn tomb
told the story of tho resurrection
of the body which through tbe
ages has brought comfort to
countless millions of bleeding
hearts who mourned their dead.
"He is not here; lis is risen," has
been whispered by the voices of
angels to hearts that criod cut ic
agony above newly mace graves
through -the centuries that make
up the world's history. To the
souls that have been crucified on
dark Good Fridays the beautiful
story cf the R:isurrc:ion brings
hope and comfort. Because the
tomb w here tbe Saviour lay is
empty, save for the whito-wiugod
angel who guard-s the szered
spot, Christendom r j 'ices and
keeps the g'orious Easter Diy.
The agony of the cross is past;
the silent sleep iu the tomb is
over; the risen Cbrist proclaims
that 'death is swallowed up in
victory" and saints on earth and
saints above sing hallelujahs to
''Him who hath put all things
under His fee, even that list
enemy, Death,"
Easter lilies, like sweet white
swinging censers, wilt carry the
story of the Resurectiou far cut
upon the winds of heaven; hucuan
voices will chant songs of tri
umph in Goa's temples and holj
priests will tell of the levo and
sacrifice of tha blessed Saviour
for mankind. The beautiful Eas
ter Day finds the world eager to
listen to the story of the liiur
rectiou, whether told in song, in
the fragrance of spring fl jwers
or from the. lips of priest and
pastor.
The world is growlog better
and each Easter Day fiads it a
step advanced towards the mils
lenium time.
Those accustomed to welcome
Easter with reverent rcjaicing.
as a day of tbe highest spiritual
significance, are apt to feel re-gretful,-df
not resentful, at the
apparent secularization of this
"queen of "feasts," in tho popular
observance that has io recent
years become so conspicuous.
The decoration of the shops, the
display of Cowers m the streets,
tbe Easter emblems in the win
dows, seem to cheapen the exalted
sentiment of the day. Yet all

Replying to yours of the 2(Ah inst., requesting an
opinion as to the durability
grass iloor matting in the
say that we regard your matting as the peer of any
thing m the marKet, in its line.
We conservatively estimate that 200,000 people
have walked over the same, but find it none the
worse for wear.
Yours very truly,

This is to certify that ve have had in our booth
in-the Trans-Mississippi Exposition on our floor, a
quantity of grass matting manufactured by the North
western Grass Twine Company. The matting has
been in constant hard use for the past six months but
shows at this time very little wear.
We cannot speak in too high terms of the wear
ing qualities of the matting manufactured by the above
Company.

Trans-Mississippi Exposition, Omaha, Neb.
Dear Sir:
The grass floor matting you put on the floor of
our factoiy exhibit in the Maunfacturers' Building, has
proven perfectly satisfactory in every way. We had
ten girls working on sewing machines in the exhibit for
five months, and where their chairs were pushed back
and forth over the matting it shows no perceptable
wear. It also held its color well, and after five months
wear seems as good as new. We cheerfully recom
mend your matting as the best we have ever used.
Yours truly,
(Signed) M. ESmith & Co.
This matting; is made of prairie
grass and is woven in such a way
that it will wear twice as long as
the best China or Japanese mat
ting. We also have the rugs to match
matting.
See this before buying anew coat
for your floors
