Mr. W. C. Harrison, one of our youngest farmers, brought to our office this week a sample of his cotton whioh is floe. If the sample is a specimen of his crop, we are sure he will clear some cash this fall. Ex-Police, Mr. Joseph Tucker, who has a position on the Railroad, was home on Saturday and Sunday last.

The Plymouth Cornet Band gave the town a serenade on Tuesday night, from the corner of Washington and Water streets. The boys did well for new beginners ; they havi only had the instruments about two weeks. The man who is too stingy to -spend a trifle each week to support his home paper, but will borrow his neighbor's paper, is certainly doomed for that place, "where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."

A. Blount, one of Plymouth's most popular young men. to Miss Sallie Layton, formerly ot Bridgville, Del,, but who, for the past year, has added Liucti to the social circle of Plymouth by her charming presence. The marriage was very quiet j only a few of the relatives and frieuds of the contract ing parties being present. The ceremony was performed by Rev. C. W. Robinson, of the M. E. Church, in a most solemn manner. We extend to the two happy lives that are thus made one, our congratulations and best wishes for a long, happy and prosper ous journey through life. A Man Drowned- While on ber last trip the steamer Lucy lost one of her crew, a deck hand named John Magett. It seems that while off North river Magett slipped off of a pile of shingles into the water and was drowned before assistance could reach him. It seems that the Lucy is very unlucky with ber crew, this is the second man lost off her deck within twelve mouths, whether the ill fate is attributed to the inconven ience of the steamer or the oirelespness of the crew W9 can't say but the latter we expect. They Send North. Some of our business men send North to have their printing done instead ot having it done at home. They give as a reason that they can get it done cheaper. That is no reason gentlemen. Some of you send elsewhere to have your job work done without knowing our prices. Is that the way you propose to support home industry and build up the town? If so you are wrong and tne town would bo better off witnout you. We will do work as cneap as any nouse in this section can do it, but we do not, and never will compete with the large firms of the north unless we get the undevided home patronage. , xou say you want a nome paper, and other home enterprises, but do not support them. Is that the way to get them? we answer no. Some say : "We would support you but we supported former papers in Plymouth and they failed." In what way did you doit? Did you give them a big "ad" and all your job work ? We think not. If .you had, ihey would have been here now, and acrditto the town. Perhaps you were a subscriber, paying $1.00 per year. While that was a help yet it does not support the editor, pay house rent, pay the printers and various other expenses. We want ' every man la rlymoutu to subscribe for the paper and every business man, to give us an advertisement. Our rates are low, and we are willing to work for the interest of our people, but unless you give us your support we are bouudto do as tne otners nave done fan. it you wish us to succeed, let us know it, not by words but by action .

NEVA JOHNSTON BY MBS, ANNA N. IRWIN. , Thou beautiful enchantress ! of such be witching manners, and a lovely brunette, whose silken hair of raven dye, and ex. pressive eye's of jet j your dimpled, rosy cheeks and thy coral Hps add quite a charm to your beauty. May thy presence gild the gayest walks of life, and in after years, may you have the traces of your younger self. When matchless in your personal grace, still linger the adornments of perfect mould May your life be fragrant with good deeds, and the savor of a consecrated existence, and when you die may tne come ing of myriads Of spiriis, who guard the gates of heaven, throw open the golden gem set portals for your entrance . . OUR CRESWELL LETTER. : Creswell, N. C, Sept. 16, 89. Editor Roanoke Beacon : Creswell Academy opened on the '12th inbt., with thirty-five pupils. More are ex. pected in a short time. Messrs. M. M. Alexander, Wm. Wiley and A. L Cahoon returned last week from toe northern markets, and evory boat now brings new goods to our city. Mrs. J. L. Howell has recently received a new supply of Fall , and Winter millinery goods, and is, so we 'learn, daily expecting an additional supply. She sells so cheap that she is compelled, it seems, to make frequent orders. She says she won't be under sold if she has to sell at New York oost. Mr. A. G. Walker will start North in a few days after his fall stock. Several other parties have lost valuable horses Bince our last communication among those are, Messrs. L. H. Creasy, John Pow. ers and Mrs. S. A. Davenport. Dr. J. L. UawsV. and wife were sum moned to Chowan county last Saturday to the bed side of their sister, Mrs. W, E. Hassell, who is quite ill. Miss Matie Ludford left last Tuesday to visit friends in Chowan county and a cer. tain young gent of our place has the blues to perfection, in consequence other absenoe. We hope she may soon return so that our young friend may resume his former sunny nat ure. We forgot to mention that Mr. John L. Hassell, who has gone into business with Capt. Cahoon, also left last Tuesday with the Captain, but did not return with him, having gone further North to look for prettier and cheaper goods. We also for. got to note the fact that Mr. A. G. Walker is the father of another "Fat Boy" age about three weeks. The meeting at Beulah closed on the 12th inst. There were two or three accessions and all who attended seemed greatly in. terested. We learn that our popular Sheriff, J. B. Chesson, has appointed, or contemplates appointing, Mr. E. G. Eboroe of our place, his Deputy for this section of the county. We think he has made a wise selection, and hope the appointment maybe, if not already made, as he is a man who will fearlessly discharge the duties of a Deputy Sheriff, and we think, will give general satisfac tion. More anon. X. Y, Z. Rally- ExConfederatea. The time for the next meeting of the Washington County Ex-Confederate Veteran Association is near at hand. The first Monday of October being the time appointed at our last meeting. All honorably dis charged or Paroled Soldiers or Sailors of the Confederate Army or Navy, are re quested to meet and have their name enrolled. We would like to have every Soldier and Sailor who served in the Con. federate A rmy or Navy from Washington county on the Roll, We cannot tell how soon some ot us may need help. L. I. Faoan, Secretary Washington Co. Ex-Confederate Y. A. TO MERCHANTS. Numberless sohemes have been devised for the purpose of advertising. Millions of dollars have been Bpent in trying to force the publio to read advertisements against their will. Thee dodges aro sprung upon them when they least expect them, and the effect is therefore annoying. It is as if a tramp should ring your front door bell and ask for the loan of a quarter. Advertising in a reliable newspaper is different. Peo ple expect to see it there every day. Ad vertisers, in dealing with the publio, should remember that they are asking favors; they should do so in a courteous business-like manner. There is a time atid place for everything, and the place for advertising is in a newspaper, and the time every issue. Horace Greely.
