President Lamb of the Chamber of Commerce has a plan on foot to have an oyster convention, to meet here some time before the first of the year. The purpose of the convention is : to have a gathering of the promi " nent oystermCn, and fishermen for the purpose of discussing the oyster industry in eastern North j Carolina ! and devise plans for legislation to protect the industry and the rights J of the home people in the industry, Suh & convention will be of great benefit to this section and the discussions will have a distinct edu caional value, and it should create a great deal of interest in the indus try. Besides the plans to have add ed legislation on the oyster indus try will be especially beneficial in Deroetuating and perfecting an in dustiv of large value. Its to be hop ed that Mr. Lamb will have success with his plans and that there will ht. n hicr convention hel here some time in December. There is no reason why the oys ter industry in Eastern North Caro lina should not be very profitable and there is not a particle of reason whv Elizabeth Citv should not be center of tnis increased activiity NdRFOUK -SOUTHERN MERGED WITH PENNSY? There is a report in railroad cir- cles ln Norfolk to the effect, that a Cl- & reached between the interests con- trolling the Norfolk-Southerns Rail- road and the Pennsylvania Railroad and w iniormed rauroaa meu "UU1U uc ouwocu " " veloped that the Pennsylvania had i absorbed, the smaller line. j The report, if true, is vastly im- portent to the towns and Cities along the Norfolk Southern -road, t will doutbtless mean that the Pennsylvania m ior . unartj ui me lung "?ul ; of the South and that would mekfi immediate and vast improvement in the local line. A better railroad and equipment, more trains ana a vast increase in the importance of the line in every way would result. While the writer cannot vouch for the au- thority, of the report above, it has Deen noticed within the past week j that the familiar, dark red painted icoaches of the Pennsylvania road have made their appearance on the local system. The name of the Penn- nave maae meir apyewauue uu mC local system, rne name or iue rm- - syivania Railroad has been Pea 1 oi laymen out over the windows and the well j next week and -t .g gafe tQ say tnat fcnown scroll, substituted on the side fte lQnely warfarer who unluckily of the car, bearing the inscription'. here on Qr affcer TueBday "Norfolk and Southern".

PAY YOUR SAVE TUXES MONEY Sheriff Reid Has Got to Have the Money so Come along with it. "Say, have you paid your taxes?" "Nope." "Well, now, you see jhere. you had Jetter do so at once." Sheriff Reid is badly in need of tax money and the various officials are making numerous demands upon him Eor money to run the govern ment with. The year is growing old and as the end of the year approach es, the demands are more insistent. The sheriff is hard put to raise the money and its enough to run a man distracted to be in the position the heriff finds hinnself now. County and state officials have got to have the money and the sheriff has got to get it Out of the tax payers, and 3 feet counter show cases 1 are coming up nr'ghty slow and if they do not improve in promptness he will have to adopt stringent mea sures to collect these taxes. He has been an easy going sort of a man, always ready to accommo date the people to the limit, but. he has reached the limit now and these taxes have got to come. So, get busy now tmd pay your taxes at once. If you dont you are going to have trouble and lots of it. REV. R. L. DAVIS AT LOCAL CHURCHES The Rev. R. L.

We would like to call attention to the Sanitary Creed of Uealtii Com missioner Schruck of Norfolk, Va. SANITARY CREED. No Spit No consumption from man to man.

It was the condi tion of an alley in Elizabeth City, that caused a visitor to become a contributor to the Civic League fund with the admonition that we empha size the great necessiay of keeping them cleah. :r Isn't it possible for each of ns to burn a great deal of the trash that makes these alleys - so unsightlv and often flwp.usting? And, too, can we t maks & united effort to induce the town authorities to send the street carts more frequently Into these alleys? ' Do yoU realize how much trash and refuse CAN be burned and to your cook stove, at that, if you have a hot fire? Try it and you will see how many things you have thrown in the chick en yard (that chickens WILL NOT EAT,) or thrown in trash box, OR THE STREET (that only serve to attract stray cats and buzzards), can be destroyed by fire. By BURNING ALL WE CAN we will have more respect for ourselves to say the least and will be saved the mortification of having such vis tors to our premises as buzzards etc. which is surely not complimentary. The next meeting of the Civic Lea gue will be held at the home of Mrs. T, P. Nash, Dec, 13th at 3 o'clock.

It has been arranged for the Royal Venetian band to visit this city in the near future and it will certain ly be a rare treat for the music lov ing people. The writer had the pleasure of attending one of the concerts given by this collection of real artists in Baltimore and can truthfully say that in his opinion, their work is well nigh perfect and for fineness of technique, really rivals the celebrat ed Sousa band and is1 superior to the Marine band of Washington, D. C.
