Miss Poindexter, of Virginia is with Mrs, S, A. M. Righton this week. Oar hotels and boarding m houses were fuli, this week, of transient boarders. Visitors to the Fair began to come in from other sections on Wednesday of last week. Mrs. Dr, James A. Harrold, of Washington, D, C. is visitiog rela tives in Edenton. Our Band boys, in their new suits, look quite imposing. We are glacf to see them uniformed, The weather, despite all predic tions to the contrary, opened up beautifully on Monday. Str. Ranger came in, Sunday afternoon last, loaded with stock from Avoca which were entered at the fair. Master Ihrey, son of W. J. Leary Esq. who was quite seriously ill a few days ago, is, we are happy to say, much better The addition of the Misses Green to the Episcopal Church choir on Sun day made the music of the service unusually pleasant. The storm of last week was quite severe, especially in our harbor where considerable damage was done to wharves, small boats &c. Mr. King Bunch, of ; Rocky Hock township, died last Saturday after an illness of some months. He left a large family to mourn his loss. Mr. W, T. Hall, who recently had a slight stroke of paralysis, is much better. We had the pleasure of seeing liim at his place of business on Mon day Every man yon meet during the fair had something to say in praise of the Bay View, and the Woodard House. Good hotels these are and Edenton has cause to be proud of them. "Our Man" finds this a busy week with everybody, even the visitors are busy looking around the town taking in Branning Mfg. Company's works, the Court House, the old Bond residence, the churches, the beautiful water scenery, the elegant and well supplied stores, our com modious and well kept hotels, our handsome private residences with their charming surroundings and with all and pleasantly so, interview, ing old friends from whom seperated for months and years by the decrees of fate and fortune. Reunions are indeed pleasant although there is much to be recounted, during their continuance, which is sad and trying to the natures even of the most sub missive and resigned. Our Man spends most of the week upon the grounds of the Agricultural and Fish Fair, which, although the recent heavy rains, are in compara tive good o-der, Everything seems constructed, in the way of buildings, stables, stand and stalls, with an eye single to the convenience both of exhibitors and those to whom exhib ited. The main exhibit hall is pro nounced by ail an elegant structure reflecting credit upon the designor as well as its constructor. Leaving one of our representatives upon the grounds to make note of the exhibit, the speeches and incidents, we turn our eyes homewards where, in duty bound by appetite, we must wend our way, although much is to be had on the grounds to eat which is served in good style and at prices within the reach of everybody except prin ters and editors. These are the poor est of all our industrious and haid worked people, and they generally feel their poverty most when in the midst of occasion like the present, when money is required to meet even the smaller expectations of friends say nothing of the obligations which grow out of position, business and the circumstances thereof. Returning to town and refreshing ourselves with our accustomed appe titive vigor, we walk out upon the hustings to find the people going to and fro enjoying themselves Jand discussing the fair. Main street is thoroughly alive and presents a scene which we could easily wish contin uous unending. In the evening we walk down to see the electric light at the Mill of the Branning Mfg. Company. It gives a brilliant light making day almost of night, Our town authora ties should seek its use immediately. It is not only better but, cheaper than the lights at present used on our streets. This is the week of Tyrrell court, Judge Brown presiding. Come To The EDEJYTON PmllR. o A Visit to The Edenton FAIR TO-DAY will Never belRetrretted. TO-DAY'S PROGRAMME.
