Our Man finds bat little to write about this week. Our town is quiet, our market steady and business seems waiting for the reviving influ ence of warmer weather Spring when all is activity and fish, caagbt and sold in great abundace, bring financial help to the people. The signs are that there will be an increase of fishing interest, generally, this Spring. More twine will be wet than for many seasons before. We hope all will prove profitable to owners. Fishermen are worked hard and are greatly exposed to all sorts of severity, both of wind and wave, and when snccess is possible we are always rejoiced to find it abi ding with them. Our Man, in all and every of his rounds, is, again and again disgusted by the catchpenny establishments which are everywhere met in our j town little store? or, rather, stalls i with an armful of goods stuck away on the shelves to sell that a great big, strapping lazy, good for nothing man may be enabled to live without labor. They are a perfect nuisance to business and damage the growth of any place however aspiring. Not only small houses for business but, right in the loveliest sections of the town, owners have built wood tents, in house shape, to accomodate the most ordinary of all tenants on earth. Ai a cycione were w airine among j them the air would be filled with trap I sticks in a minute. If the folks were j , , . , out of them, a cyclone would do great j service to this community by drop- , w i a. . . i ping among them. We dont wish harm to any man but, we could not j feel sorry over any accident or, visi tation that would rid Edenton of these cabins, these dens. that would shock the taste of a savage . The existence of stores(?) in every part of the town is due to the fact that some of our Norfolk merchants are too anxious to sell goods. They j will sell a pound of any thing as j cheap as a barrel and a yard as cheap ma n k it ti u 1 as u bo t. The consquence is that H ! every fellow who can start fifty dollars puts him up a trap and fills j it with goods to sell to his neighbor i iinH thprRhv livpa itwnf tu; ! j - - - w is not fair on the merchants. Tbev part of Norfolk injure the best i business interest of the country by aiding these little dealers to facto.. , upon the people. Norfolk has i always injured the Eastern North Carolina merchant just in that way. Before the war it was so and since the war they have done business on 1 4 1 a 1 . the old plan. Any carter, carrying his eggs and butter to market there Coulu buy a few pounds of anything, atlil u fanr f A- ' vt auj "l The EDENTON, goods as cheap as a dealer could buy hir tho na nr Knit. Knr this reason, among others, our merchants will not trade with Norfolk merchants. They give her the go-by and spend their money with Baltimore. Phil adelphia, New York and Boston dealers. Had Norfolk persued the right course, in this respect, it would have commanded the trade in North Carolina, entirely. She would have become, long ago, the great business centre for all this section of our State as well as the trans-Albemarle and Roanoke section. She would have become the grand metropolis of the tide-water section of both Virginia and Carolina. It can do so now if only dealers, doing business in the city, would rise to the full height of their privilege, doing business in a business way. Resolutions Adopted by The Farmers' Alliance of Chowan Co. N. C. Jan. 3d. 1890. Whereas, There has been such dissatisfaction and disadvantage in the wrapping and selling of cotton during the present and past seasons, some exchanges proposing to sell cotton as a net article, or allow a just tare on cotton wrapped bales while others do not.

A strong infusion of the leaf of boneset, drunk cold four times a day a half hour before meals and just before retiring, has routed "the grip" and left the svstem free and iuvkjor ated. Boneset beats quinine, say t.he experienced. It is believed that Dr. Eugene Grissom will accept the offer made him in St. Louis which will necessi tate his absence from his native State and a loss to her of his acknowledged ability and service.
