Published Every Friday. Located in the Finest Fish, Truck and Farming A. II. Mitchell, Editor and Business Manager. Established 1886 OUR man about TOWN! WHAT HE SEES AND HEARS DURING THE WEEK. Our "Man About Town," in taking his accustomed stroll through the popular thoroughfares of our attrac tive town, finds the people actively ingaged in renovating and improv ing perparatory for the cold weather and, in some instances, specially for Fair week when, most every family, as well as every hoel and private boarding house, will be overrun with guests. Kdenton never failed in doins the "full tiling" in times when the hospitality of her people was called in exercise or, when the nature of any service demanded its zeal. Her people cannot be surpassed in generous entertainment of invited or, visiting friends, nor in the earn estness of their efforts for all proper promotion of human enjoyment. If the weather should be favorable, large numbers of people will be ex peeted from the trans-Albemarle section also from the Roanoke and Chowan River section. We earnest- j y hope for good weather that our poo pie may not be disappointed in any expectation. Our Man takes a glimpse at the various stores along the pathways of this weeks ramble and finds them almost running over with most excel lent stocks of well selected goods suited to the demands af all classes of our people. The dealers tell us thev are selling cheap, too, even cheaper than usual. We hope this is so for the sake of the buyers, most of whom, in this community, need to nav less lor what thev consume and receive more for what they do and dispose of in order to be on equal footing, in the race of life and busi ness with the rest of the busy world, On going up to the Fair grounds Our Man notices on the left hand side of Main street a large and very handsome new residence, the proper ty of Mr. W, H, CoBleld one of Chowan's boys who lives that others may enjoy the fruit of his life and labors. He is a most successful farmer and has a most comfortable home three miles from town but, pro poses to become a citizen of the town that his children mav have the bene fits of the church and school which here exist.
