Mr. Reatny, a Baptist minister at that place, and a young man named 2uiuby. Monday the young man and the minister was in Norfolk and steps have been taken to bring a suit tor libel against the Pilot.

Our most sue-i cessful and prosperous merchants j and tradesmen, whose bright record has added imperishable lustre to the history of American commerce, can all testify to this truth from personal experience. The newspaper is the com mercial traveler in city and country home, who tells at the ! fireside, to its evening circle, the merits of your wares and mer chandise, if you are wise enough to employ it t) speak for you. It never is neglected, never goes unheeded, never speaks to inat tentive or unwilling ears. It never bores. It never tires. It is always a welcome visitor and meets a cordial reception. It speaks when the day is done, when cares vanish, when the mind at peace and at rest is in its most receptive mood. Then it is that its story is told and all who read treasure what it says, and are influenced to go wdiere it directs for the thing of which it speaks. What other influences can be so potent to help trade as this quiet but powerful advocate? Let it become a salesman in every home for your wares. Let it make its mighty plea for your benefit. And we assure you it will do more than all other in fluences to promote your business and put money in your purse. Advertise in the Fisherman & Farmer. A LAND SLIDE EXPOSES A QUANTITY OF SILVER.

TRADE ("Winston Sentinel. The Douglas infamy has spread over the United States. A Jack son, Mississippi, paper says that a drummer walked into a store in that place and presented his card., and wl.e.; the proprietor suv that the drummer represent ed a North Carolina house he declared he would buy none of his iroods unless he was assured that the firm represented was opposed to the Douglass resolu tion. The drummer, who repre sented a Winston tobacco house, foit'nvith denounced the Doug lass Legislature in unmeasured terms and secured an order. A GOOD JOKE. The Sentinel's Washington correspondent, under date of March 20th, says: "Yesterday the brilliant and versatile John R. Morris went with Gen. Ransom to see Mr. Cleveland in the interest of a friend of Mr. Morris who wants a place. Mr. Morris told Mr. Cleveland a joke on Minister Ransom in the presence of the Cabinet officers and Chauncv Depew which made the new minister blush. It was about the old darkey in Northampton county who, when he heard that the President had appointed General Ransom to his present position exclaimed.' "De President has made Gin'ral Ransom a minister! I'se glad de Gin'ral got a job, but I questions de policy uv makin him a preach er. Infac' I'se afeared he'll scandalize de church. I'se know ed de Gin'ral longer 'n Mr. Cleve land has, and I knows dis is a bad appintment," Mr. Cleveland laughed heartily at this criticism of his official action. It is hoped that every business man who has an interest m Edem ton will secure space at once in the Fisherman & Farmer Trade Edition. We want the business of the town properly represented. R. S.

OLD SOLDIER'S COLONY. Mr. P. H. Fitzgerald, the foun der of the Old Soldiers' Colouv, with quarters at Indianapolis, vis ited Atlanta Friday last, in final conference with ex-Governor Northen about the location of his colony in Georgia. Fitzgerald, through the American Tribune, published at Iudianopolis, lias se cured a paid-up membership in the colony amounting to 14,000 heads of families and compre hending about 40,000 people who are seeking location in a milder climate at the South. Governor Northen has been negotiating with Mr. Fitzgerald, the head of the colony, for several months, and he has finally induced him to come to Georgia for a per sonal inspection of the advanta ges offered by this State. These gentlemen have just returned from a tour of the soutnern part of the State and Mr. lutzgerald will go to Indianapolis to-morrow fully prepared to recommend the settlement of his colony in Geor gia. It is understood that his recommendation will secure this large colony of Federal Soldiers for Georgia. "SALOON" PASSENGERS. 'Ashcville Citizen. This story is told on an Ashc ville prohibitionist. He was talking with a friend about the Elbe disaster, which recently shocked the world. "Well," he said, "I suppose the all-wise Providence did what was best in allowing the ship to be bestroyed. There were on board, several hundred saloon passen gers, and if they had been allow ed to come to this country there would have been just so many more barrooms," j FISH, OYSTERS, GAME, &c. i i 1 Though practically t j the business our success is already assured. 1 We have been compelled by its steady growth to seek more room, and have taken the premises No. 322 S.

OM GOOD SUGGESTIONS TO THE FARMERS OF THIS STATp:. Are you acquainted with him? Did you ever see him? Is he your neighbor? The editor of the Ne vasota (Texas) Tablet gives such a full and accurate description of one, that should you meet him, you could hardly fail to recoy nize him. The editor says the shiftless farmer has a lifelong ambition to gain a reputation for . , . t u earing a dirty shirt. He will a;arm the neighbor hood by getting up two hours before day, and sit around and not go to work until sunrise. t t mi j 1 1 looking for a two dollar hog. He will complain of hard times, then tear his pants climb ing over a fence where a gate ought to be. He will pay three dollars for a new bridle, and then let the calf chew it to pieces before Sunday. He gets all his neighbors to help in getting a cow out of the bog, then lets her die trom want of attention. She will get in and destroy his crop at a place in his fence that he has been putting off fixing for six mouths. He will strain his back lifting something to show how strong he is. He will go in his shirt sleeves 011 a cold day to show how much he can stand, and then return home at night and occupy two thirds of the fireplace' till bed time. He will ridicule the mechan ism of a corn planter, then go out and smash his thumb nailing a board on the fence. He will go to town on Satur day, and come home with fifty cents worth of coffee, a paper of pins and a dollar's worth of chew ing tobacco. He is economical; economy is his forte. He will save ten cents worth of axle grease and ruin the spindle of a $75 wagon. He won't subscribe for a news paper, but will borrow from his friend and forget to return it. The gang of thieves who have been operating at Beaufort have been captured. new in this branch of A PLUCKY SHERIFF. HE LOSES HIS LIFE DEFENDING A TRAIN AGAINST ROIU5ICRS ONE OF THE KANDITS KILLFD I5Y HIM. San Francisco. The morning train, which is due here at 4 o'clock came in four hours late on nrroniit nf tlw liVLI nn l.f.iw.r.,m Wheatland and Marysville. J. H. George who was on the car where the shooting occuired, says the 'robbers came on the second coach ' !th tlle nrcilllfl11 ahead of them. Ihey carried a sack made out of one kg of a pa-r of aml tlie passengers were told to put their money and other valuables in it. They had robbed the first j car and were just entering the I second when Sheriff Boggart who had been down the road on some business, was coming in the oth er end of the car. He fired imme diately on taking in the situa tion, hitting one of the robbers. As the robber fell he shot twice, both shots taking effect in the fireman's back and leg, and as Boggart turned partly around to get a shot at the other robber, he received his death wound. Be fore he had time to fire a third time the second robber turned and ran out of the car. The rob bers first entered the express car but as the safe had a time lock they were unable to secure any thing and they proceeded to the coach. It is learned that Boggart had boarded the train at Sacra mento and had taken a sleeper. When lie was awakened by the brakeman he immediately put on his clothes and was 111 Ins bare feet when he encountered the bandits. ALMOST AS GOOD AS THE GENUINE. The finest counterfeit quarter dollar ever made was discovered at the United States Sub-Treas ury in Baltimore. It is an imi tation of the series of 1893 and is composed largely of silver. Only the most adroit expert can de tect it from genuine coin, and it is believed to have been circulat ed in large quantities. This is the first instance in which real silver has been used in conterfeiting. The metal is so cheap, however, that coiners can make pieces of silver of legal weight and still realize a hand some profit. May 20th, at Raleigh, the Con federate Monument will be un veiled with due solemnity. HERE AND THERE. Judge Randolph B.
