Let Everybody Attend.
For the purpose of organizing a

Mr. W. D. Pruden will be present and
explain the object, plans, &c., of the
organization. It is the best move, for
the poor of our place anxious for homes
of their own, ever made in Edenton.
Let's have a full attendance. There is
money in it for the poor man beyond
all dispute.
A GOOD SUGGESTION.
The grounds of the Edenton Agricul
tural and Fish Fair are central and
admirably located, buildings beautiful
and ample, hotel accommodation the
very best, the Norfolk Southern R. R.
passing through the most fertile North
Eastern Counties, theTarboro, William
ston & Plymouth R. R. connecting
directly with the Roanoke Steamers
running directly to Edenton, enabling
the people of the Roanoke Valley to
bring their products directly to our
grounds. The Albemarle Steam Nav
igation Co. offers every conveniance to
the Chowan and Black ater sections,
the Pantego R. R. and Steamer Haven
Belle give that, section the best accom
modations and with the Albemarle and
Croetan sounds every part of the South
Eastern Counties can find easy access
to our doors. Possessing the above
advantages, I suggest that we change
the name of our association to "The
Eastern North Carolina Agricultural
and Fish Association' and that a meet-I
ing of the Stockholders be called early j
in February, at which time this matter
be thoroughly discussed and voted on.
In the event of a change I think it best
-. . ..
to appoint tne directors or the several
departments at this meeting no two
fIolu any one county, and invite their i
cooperation, and that we sell additional
stock, not exceeding 20 shares in any
countv.
Hoping to see this matter fully dis
cu&sed in the papers of our section, lam
Respectfully,
W. K. Capehart,
President E. A. & F. Fair.

she red of Dr. King's New Discovery,
and got a sample bottle: it helped her,
she bought a large bottle, i? helped
inoro, bought another and grew better
