TUifi TAB, HEEL, FBIDAY,NQVEMBEB 24, 1902. fc I I OUR LOCAL TALENT. Last How it Eclipsed. Even Itself Friday Night; : The- local talent of -Elizabeth City eclipsed all former - efforts Jfriday night in the presentation of "Puss in Boots the London eztravaganza. There was noth ing commendable in the lines of the play and" .the scenery was very poor indeed. The electric snow-storm was a very dry affair and the den of skeletons J was far from being a , horrible spectacle. ' The tableaux were beautiful and occasioned ' much favorable comment aside, from- the voluminous applause given them by the audience. The worth of the entertainment lay in the drills, marches and tableaux alone. Two hundred boys, and girls ranging from the ages of four years to the marriageable: the prettiest girls in Elizabeth City and that is saying much were employed in the excution of the leading feat ures. To say who' was best would be a responsibility which the writer cares not to shoulder. All were good: therefore we refrain from mentioning any one or ; two of the participants. The scarf drill, hoop drill, flower drill and others were the prettiest ever wit nessed here. The little children employed in some instances were exceptionally well drilled and, dis- thoroughly ..and . will doubtless prove us, genial and popular as a knight o f ? the grip; as he "did as a merchant. ' - ' U. S. Army Officer Here. - Capt B. F. Simmons, of the U. S. Army, with headquarters at San Antbniai Texas, was in the city en route to Fairfield, his native home. He graduated at "West Point with the class of '95, and since that time . has won distinction as a military officer. He was appoin ted to the cadetship by Hon. T- G. Skinner, then member of Congress from this: district. Mr. Simmons is a son of Dr. Simmons of Fair field, who is the recipient of many compliments occasioned by the achievements - of his destinguished son. RUPAL FREE DELIVERY Pasquotank is to Have This Service In a Few Days Bural free Delivery service for Pasquotank is no longer a pros pect. To make a long story short we will content with the publica tion of extracts from a letter from Congressman Small to chairman Greenleaf of the Chamber of Com merce committee on Bural Free delivery. This letter was received by Mr. H. T. Greenleaf on Nov., 14th, and was handed to us just too late for last week's issue. that those things represent the po litical history of the past decade.' Out of such a situation must come bad government' and, finally, a ruined country. Sin is death, and political sins' are common sins. But because they4 may be charged to a community, individuals excuse themselves. What is done by a crowd is done; by each man in it, and to conclude otherwise is to espouse the ethics of Satan. But in these crimes some JHethodkt stewards, some Baptist deacons, seme' Presbyterian elders, ..and some Episcopal vestrymen, and some Sunday school teachers of all churches have joined,: while they hold their reputable stand ing as Chris !aans and applaud their jiastors in their pulpit denuncia tion of the dance and card table. Will God always tolerate this shameful crime?? played no little histrionic talent. The entertainment went from smalls leteb to greenleaf. the sublime to-the ridio.ulons wW Washington, N. C, Nov., 14. in the fifth act a pretty drills by Mr- H- T- Greenleaf, Chairman, tastefully costumed girls, was suc ceeded by the "rag doll drill." About fifty little girls in grotes que masks and costumes of anti- bellum pattern were employed in the latter and afforded mirth a plenty, ' . The closing scenes in the peice were magnificent The entire cast was then seen in one grand maze of drills. Elizabeth City, N. C. My dear Sir: t Befering to the proposed estab lishment of rural free delivery ser vice from Elizabeth City: I Taeg to say that Special Agent Yeazey has at last filed his final report on on these cases recommending the establishment of route Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4. I have given this-service unusual care and attention in connection with the special agent. The ar rival and departure of the through mails at Elizabeth City are at such hours as to make it difficult to have prepared a satisfactory schedule for the rural free delivery trusted to them.

The managment now has ab solutely nothing to do with the city circulation. The papers are sold 'directly to the carriers and they conduct the delivery and col lection.

The subscription per month being only, ! 2 cents. Those not already receiving the Tar Heel and wishing to do so may notify this office or either of the carriers. Those having already paid in ad vance will not have to make monthly payments until the piration of their subscription. have adjusted themselves to the improved service. Yours very truly, ; John H. Small. From information gleaned at most reliable sources The Tar Heel thinks it higly probable that only a few days will elapse before the routes will be in operation. HORROR OF POLITICS Monument Unveiled. Dr. Kilgo Arouses Interest on This Subject. Be v. Dr. John C. Kilgo, presi dent of Trinity College, has writ ten an- article for the Christian ex- Advocate (Methodist) 1 on "The Vileness of Politics, which is ex citing wide comment ovef the State The quarterly conference of a small chnrch in Guilford . county has , . a adopted resolutions of disapproval. throngedlOrerman a Cemetery Sun- i f , , , day afternoon to witness the Several papers have' strongly as- A BIG COLD STORAGE.- A Project That if Matured Will Revo lutionize Our Fishing Industry. If our source of information is reliable; Elizabeth City is to have a cold storage that in size will vie with any in the South. But whether reliable or not this little bit of gossip is important to this entire section and thosands would be the richer by the aquisition of a plant of this kind. The project, yet in its embryo, is being consid ered on no small scale. Several thousands of dollars of capital will be involved and it is the intention of the promoters to erect a pla.it that will accommodate, if necesary, a seasons catch of fish; say nothing of meat and' game in untold quan tities. ! Heretofore the hundreds of fisheries in the Albemarje section have been ' compelled to make quick disposal of there catches; owing to the fact that there was no means te preserve them. Thus often thousands of dollars worth of this finny product have been forced upon glutted;markets with the result that the fishermen were awarded with but meager re turns. With the erection of a cold stor age, such as the one under consid eration, Eastern Carolina fishermen may command their own prices. If there is no ready market the fishermen may place their catch in the refrigerating works aini there keep them until they can command their price. Again: the shad and herring would not be confined to the spring menu alone. Instead of having shad for a few breakfasts during the season we could have them the year round. This cold storage would be invaluable to butchers. During the summer months they could lay up an en tire winters supply of : meats and vice versa. r - Last year the large fishery of Dr. Capehart, at avoca, was com pelled to close down at a time when the catches of shad were averaging 3500 per day and sim plo because the northern markets were glutted If Elizabeth City, at that time, had a cold storage plant Dr Capehart could have continued hit fishing and realized thousands of extra dollars as result Local capital should look into this. ... . ... sailed Dr. Kilgo's position, or rath- Woodmen of the World unveil -r, a er nis woras, wuiie jaov, jjc, xu. j.
