Robersonville and Parmele. march mg together, made a very impos ing spectacle. The managers were unable to secure a speaker from among a large number of prominent men who represent the Three Links. Dinner was served at 12 o'clock, in quantity it was beautiful; in quality excellent. The barbecue Was excep tionally good, and the managers de serve much credit for the able man ner in which- everything was con ducted. Despite the extremely warm wea ther everybody had a good time, and free silver was discussed the day long Pitt, Edgecombe and Beaufort counties were well represented. Robersonville (idlings Dozens of friends extend happy congratulations and best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. F. Samuels Upton May they live long and prosper M iss Fleming. of Pactolus, is spending a few days with Mrs. liar dison. She is quite a favorite. It is a hard matter for a stranger to distinguish who keeps the Hotel, Everett or Mrs. C Grimes, on ac count of the large number of guests at both houses. There itf^ne mater ial difference?Everett gets $1 per day; Mrs Grimes a "thank you." She is undoubtedly the most hospi table lady imaginable, and she loves company.

The Enterprise operators are fortunate in get ting hold of an old paper pub lished in the county years ago. and they are anxious to increase the collection of the rare edi tions. Just recently a copy of the "Eastern Carolina News" was uncovered by Mr. N. C. Green. Excerpts from the rare copy appear in an adjoining column. The publishers are indebted to Mr. Green for the use of the paper and make a liberal offer to any others who may have copies of old papers in their pos session. If any of the old papers are not for sale, the Enterprise publishers will greatly appreci ate borrowing them for short periods. Fall Is VV<retakI? T*arde? Time.

"There will probably be fusion in Martin between the Pops and Rads. It is a good combination, as both are for spoils and anything to break down a good government We know something about Radical misrule, and a return to it would be disas trous to our country." In the advertising columns is a train schedule of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company. The train ran from Plymouth to Tarboro in two hours and five minutes Forty throe years later, the running time of live tram between the two points was possibly a little longer.
