EDENTON, N.C., June yth, 189.5.
Idleness is the curse of many.
To see the youth of our land
raised to do nothing, or so near
nothing, as may be is one of the
deplorable signs of the degener
acy of our age. There was a day
when our fore-fathers, sense of
honor was keen but they have
passed away and to our view the
present generation is very far re
moved from the same keen sense
of honor that prevailed among
the men of a generation or two
ago. Idleness has much to do
with this lack of honor on the
part of our race. Keep busy
and thus keep the devil' away
from our plans and purpose.
The rights of the many are
often denied them by the few.
Why is this day and time a "mi
nority" should control the "ma
jority" has often been a puzzle to
us. We cannot understand why
so many arc- willing to sit with
folded hands and allow them
selves to be led around by the
whims and caprices of the few.
We may be the creatures of cir
cumstances but we often create
the circumstances and allow our
selves tobecast inwhatever mould
a capricious fortune may suggest.
Can we not infuse more muscle,
bone and sinew into our lives
and add a little steam energy
to our movements and thus move
up to the front ranks?
The industrial establishments
of Pennsylvania appear to be re
ceiving their full share of the
improvement now going on in
business circles. The thirty-odd
thousand employees of the Car
negie establishments have al
ready had their wages voluntarily
advanced, and now the four thou
sand employees of the Pennsylva
nia Steel Works have been noti
fied that their wages will be at
oiue increased to the prices that
prevailed two years ago, before
the country was visited by
financial panic. A number of
establishments in the Keystone
vState, which have been idle for a
long time will also shortly re
sume operations, giving employ
ment to a considerable number
of operatives. Gradually the
country is getting back to the
condition that it occupied before
the business depression set in a
couple of years ago. Ex.
It has been said that civiliza
tion is the architect of great
cities. If civilization is the ar
chitect, it may with equal truth
be said that the railroads and
shipping interests are the build
ers. If civilization designs, rail
roads and ships execute. For
without railroads, or ocean com
merce, even the hope of a city is
impossible. In this country rail
roads have more to do with the
growth and development of cities
than any other cause than per
haps all other causes combined.
Edenton is amply supplied in
that respect, and her railroad
and steamboat lines are of the
best. In fact, no town of itssiz.j
along the entire Atlantic coast is
blessed with better transporta
tion facilities, either for reaching
the country immediately sur
rounding, or the markets of the
world, than Edenton.
There is a law in Nebraska
imposing a fine of 500 for each
offence on every railroad whose
trains go over a crossing without
whistling, $50 of the fine to go to
the informer. As wheat was
selling low and business on the
farm somewhat dull, farmer
Miller concluded he might make
wages by playing detective on
the engineers, and he set himself
to watch for the whistles that
didn't come at his crossing. He
made a note of 1,578 trains that
scooted over that crossing be
tween May 4th and August 9th,
1894, has reported accordingly,
and now wants his share of the
loot, 78,500, which he may get
if he can beat the railroad in
some law suits.
j It means something when a
cheerful giver puts his hand in
his pocket.
MARRIED AT CQLERAINE.
KX-SIIRRIKF PERKY TAKES TO HIMSELF
A BRIDE.
A very beautiful marriage took
place on the 5th inst. at the M.
E. Church at Coleraine. The
contracting parties were on of
Bertie's prettv and most popular
young ladies, Miss Kate Sessoms,
and Mr. J. H. Perry, a prominent
farmer and ex-Sheriff of Chowan
county. The church was beau
tifull v decorated, the ceremony
impressively performed, and the
assemblage the largest that ever
assembled in Coleraine on a like
occasion.
After the ceremony, the happy
couple, accompanied by waiters
and friends, boarded the elegant
steamer Haven Belle (chartered
for the occasion) for this city, ar
riving here at about 10 p. m.,
where they were met by a large
crowd of people.
At Strawberry Hill, the charm
ing home of the groom near this
city, a reception was held, where
the bride and groom received
the congratulations of many
friends and invited guests all of
whom were lavishly and royally
entertained at a beautifully array
ed table covered with delicacies.
The Fisherman & Farmer
wishes for them long life and
prosperity and all the happiness
that beautiful girls bring to the
households that they bless with
their presence. May there be no
thorns in their pathway and their
lives be such as God would have
them live.
WHAT ADVERVISING DOES.
fortunes which have been made by
using printers' ink.
or Moses P. Handy, says
the Boston Herald, tells of a busi
ness concern with a nominal cap
ital of $160,000, only $30,000 of
it paid in, that has divided in a
single year,among three partners,
profits to the amount of $750,000
and that exclusive of salaries of
850,000 and 25,000 drawn by
two members of the firm. Ten
years ao one of these partners
was a drug clerk on a small sal
ary in a Western town and is
now one of the millionaires of
New York. "Without newspaper
advertising I might have made a
living," he said, "but it was ad
vertising that made me rich, and
advertising a very simple com
modity at that." Another con
cern, which began by investing
$10,000 a year in newspaper ad
vertising, increased the amount
every year according to their in
crease of business, and this year,
expects to spend $ 1 ,000,000.
These are only specimen bricks
of the enormous profits realized
from shrewd newspaper adver
tising. John Wesley And The Farmtr.
A farmer went to hear John
Wesley preach. He was a man
who cared little about religion;
on the other hand, he was not
what we call a bad man. His at
tention was soon excited and
riveted, Wesley said he would
take up three topics of thought;
he was talking chiefly of money
His first was, "Get all you can."
The farmer nudged a neighbor
and said: "This is strange
preahicng; I never heard the like
before; this is very good. That
man has got things in him; it is
admirable preaching." John
Wesley discoursed on "industry,"
"activity," "living to purpose,"
and reached his second division,
"Save all 3-011 can." The farmer
became more excited. "Was there
ever anything like this?" he said.
Westley announced thriftlessuess
and waste, and he satirsized the
willful wickedness which lavish
ed in luxury; and the farmer rub
bed his hands as he thought.
"All this I have been taught
from my youth up." And what
with getting, and what with
hoarding, it seemed to him that
"salvation" had come to his
house. But Wesley advanced to
his third head, which was. "Give
all you can." Ah, dear! ah, dear,"
said the farmer, "he has gone
and spoiled it all." Onward.
CANNERY.
We are in the midst of a rich
trucking region and large quan
tities of peas, beans, tomatoes
and corn are grown and shipped,
while much goes to waste be
cause ot no consumers. A few
hundreds or thousands, at best,
invested in a cannery would not
only consume this surplus the
buyer being able to obtain them
at his own door and price. Large
quantities of these canned goods
are annually consumed by our
people aud our merchants must
of necessity carry full stocks of
them. Again we uresent to the
manufcaturer a home market lor
many of his goods and with our
excellent transportation facilities
a large and lucrative trade could
very quickly be established.
Under the State laws, none
but citizens of the State are al
lowed to fish in our waters but
which are amply large enough
for many more not to the man
or born.
EDENTON BAY.
BY i. M FLETCHER.
Land .vard, with fringes ot si lvery spray.
Roll the sweet billows of Edenton bay.
Yonder the Roanoke rolls in from the west,
Nearer the Chowan ungirdles herlreast.
Beautiful rivers that flub in the sun,
BraileninK and mingling and Bowing as one.
Watching their union, but brighter than they
Roil the sweef tillcwsof Kdcnte 1 Bay.
"Fis but the caOd of a broader expanse,
Left by itself in the sunshine to dance,
Tis but an arm of a far-reaching sea.
Less in its width than a league it may be,
Yet were it larger, its beauty and grace.
Dimmed by the distance, were harder to trace;
Just as it is I would have it for aye.
This gem of the .Southland, sweet Eden too bay.
Sloping as if for a clasping of hands,
Close to its margin fair Edenton stands.
Verdure wreathed Ed en ton, fairer by night.
And fairer ny day for this beautiful sight.
White sails are seen on its zepher swept tide.
Lovers at evening stroll oft by its side.
Seen in its beauty, for many a day,
The heart will re'mtmber sweet Edenton lay.
