The most brilliant and hardest fought base ball game of the season was won by the Plymouth Hieh School team over the Bel haven High School team, at Belhaven, Friday, April 27th, The score was three to two. The. features of the game were the brilliant fielding of Moooe at second; the wonderful and al-m-):. miraculous c ;tch of tx foul b by catcher iioids; the two bagger by Dupree, and last, but by mi means least, the excellent pitching of Arps, supported by the great work of the infield was responsible, in a great measure, for the victory. Belhaven will play in Plymouth to day. Early Closing. A most commendable move was made bv a number of our merchants t liis week when they signed an agreement to closer their stores at 7 o'clock p. m., beginning May 14th. White we commend this, it is no more than just to themselves. and what is due to their clerks when we consider that even closing at this hour their men have worked half a dny longer than what is nw a fuli day for men who are much better paid. The following merchants have signed the agreement, and we feel sure others will do so before the date named; Plymouth Merc'r-anlile Co., Williford & Campbell, T. S. Lu cas. A. L. Owens, Ayer3 & Weede, Abe Adler, Roanoke Jobbing Co,, Everett & Son. M, G. Darden, W. C. Harrison, A. U. Newberry, H. A. Blount, "Trie Spot" by W. B. Watts, Clyde Cahoon, W. H. Hampton & Son, J. C.

We a -credit two reasons for this : one is r.hut the town is do it.g b'y-A things and the man on t wiUhide imitates t sh ulder luo repoKt,iilit ; the other, and the one to our mind mot logical, is rhat our people recoj nize in the present incumbents m-.i ot sterling. integrity ana e . i fcfficiency and are taking for . . ... - electi jn and service.
