The old cry, "Ho ! for Nag's Head," though often used, will never wear out, or, fall into dis use. Many have voiced it in the past, many will voice it in the future as now; with one accord every lover of pleasure and seek er of health is heard to join the acclaim. There is no finer and more healthful place on the whole Eastern Coast than this old favorite resort, and we would advise all those who can to visit Nag's Head this season. There is no place better for those who would spend a day or two from the cares and duties of every day life, add while away a few hours by the seaside, where they could view the grandeur, the majesty and the power of the old Atlantic as her waters dash upon the shore, to the deep anthem of the unceasing roar of the breakers The Editor of the Fisherman & Farmer had the pleasure to spend Sunday last atthis delight ful resort that is so popular with our people. The weather was exceedingly fine and our trip was indeed most pleasant. The proprietors of the hotel, Messrs Baxter & Grice, with whom we stopped, did everything in their power to make it so, and we shall ever remember their hospi talities. They are men who ful ly understand their business, ac commodating and anxious to make those around them com fortable. The tables are well supplied with a large variety of well cooked and nicelv prepared eatables, and those who visit the hotel this season can rest assured of a royal good time and food in abundance. They have prices to suit nearly everybody who wish to summer there, and we most sincerely wish everyone of our people could spare the time to visit Nag's Head and spend even a while, if not the season. It would not only add greatly to their health and longevity, but the pleasures to be enjoyed at this splendid resort are unsur passed. It will be remembered that af ter the last election the Republi cans declared the Populists did not cast over 30,000 votes in this State. The Populists have had little to say about this, but at last they speak and say Senator Butler has election returns which show they cast no less than 60, 000 votes. This is their first statement, but their second one is stronger still. They say their party has more white voters than either the Democrats or the Republicans. The Raleigh Nezvs and Obser ver issued Wednesday a "Public . School Edition" of twenty-four pages. It is brim full of valu able information and should be read by every citizen in North Carolina. In it will be found a complete report of the condition of the public schools in every county in the State. The last Legislature passed a law requiring each druggist that sold liquor to pay a S50 license tax. The Populists expected 50,000 from this law, but so far only fifteen druggists in the State have paid the tax. It is said that Hon. Hoke Smith, of Georgia, has a hanker ing for the seat in the Senate which Gen. Gordon will vacate, and that he will shortly begin to swing round the circle and talk to the sovereigns. Wilmington Star. x exas nas a statute against prizefighting, bullfighting, dog fighting and several other kinds of fighting, but the lawyers there say it would be impossible to secure a conviction under it. HOME FIRST. Let home stand first before all other things. No matter how high your ambition may trans cend its duties, no matter how far your talents or your influence may reach beyond its doors, be fore everything else build up true home. Be not its slave; be its minister. Let it not be enougl that it is swept and garnished that its silver is brilliant, that its food is delicious, but feed the love in it, feed the truth in it, feed thought and aspiration, feed al charity and gentleness in it Then from its walls shall com forth the true woman and the true man, who shall together rule and bless the land. Is this an overwrought picture We think not. What honor can be greater than to found such home? What dignity higher than to reign its undisputed honored mistress? What is the ability to speak from a public platform to lagre, intelligent audiences, or the wisdom that may command a seat on the judge's bench, com rared to that which can insure and preside over a true home that husband and children "rise and call her blessed?" To be th guiding star, the ruling spirit in such a position is higher honor than to rule an empire. Mrs Beecher. E. City's Cotton Factpry. The one hundred thousand dollar cotton factory to be built at E. City is now a certainty From the Economist-Falcon the following is taken: "And now our business men o all classes with an unanimity thathas been truly commendable with a push and stick that chal lenge admiration, and with a lib erality that makes us prouder o our adopted home, have put their shoulders to the wheel of our destiny. On Monday night they rivited the iron bands in the last link of a cotton factory with a capital of one hundred thousand dollars, every cent of which comes from dear old Betsy and the adjacent towns of Hertford, Edeuton, and the adjacent coun ties, the larger bulk of it coming from the businass men of this town. Hail good men and pa triots, hail public-spirited citi zens, hail progressive men, hail i).ur'a iic oono, ix nicmDers of the "Business Men's Club," hail Dr. McMullan, hail Charles Robinson, hail Jeroma Flora, hail Bradford and Aydlett, and Kramer, and Scott, and Blades, and Sharbu, and "little Bob Mitchell," late of Edenton, now our Bob, who took up the trail ing banner of the factory when in despair, and by his own vol untary heroic words and efforts bore it in triumph to its success ful end; hail George Ward, ready man of all work, hail Tom Skin ner, of Hertford, who knows a good thing when he sees it; hail honest Jim Parker, of Gates, her favorite son hail patriots and benefactors all. This town owes you all a debt of gratitude that it can never forget." mm DEBS SENTENCE MODIFIED. The sentence of Eugene V Debs, leader of the Chicago strike, has been modified from one year in jail to six months and the other directors of the American Railway Union from six mouths to three. At Sniithsburg, Md., one of the most prominent citizens is arrested on the charge of a crim inal assault on a 10-year-old girl. Ihere are i,oi5i convicts at Work on four State farms, and no at work on private contract. In the pen itself at Raleigh there ati but 171. Edward W. Torbert is arrested in New York, charged with em bezzlement while in the broker age business in Columbus, Ga., two years ago; the detectives have had a long hunt for him. A reliable gentleman of 71st told us yesterday of a marvellous but no doubt true incident. He said that while fishing the other da he saw a black snake, about four feet long, poke its head into the hollow of a tree, then pulled it out, turn deliberately around, back its tale into the hole, and after a little skirmishing, bring out three young rabbits in the coils. The gentleman killed the snake and two of the rabbits scampered off, the other one hav ing been crushed to death. Fay etteville Observer. The Fisherman & Farmer subscription lisfis growing rap-idly OUR TRADE ISSUE. What the Press and Feople ar Saying About it. a caulker: Mr. A. H. Rogers, of Boston, who spent a few weeks in Eden ton during the past spring and who left much delighted with his stay here and our people, writes: "I received the Trade Issue, and its a "caulker" and reflects credit on all concerned." A GRAND SUCCESS: We are in receipt of a copy of the Trade Edition published by the Edenton (N. C.) Fisherman & Farmer. It sets forth in a splendid manner the advantages of Edeuton as a manufacturing and residential town. As a medium for advertising the town the edition is a grind success, but we fear friend Mitchell has come out the little end of the horn, financially speaking. Great credit is due him for his effort. Southampton Democrat, Frank lin, Va. WILT. SURELY COME THIS FALL: A. H. Mitchell, Dear Sir: Please accept thanks for a few copies of your wide awake interesting and in structive Trade Issue. This is surely "casting bread upon the water." I for one have been looking toward the South for in vestment and a home for myself and family and must say your Trade Issue has been the means for a close and careful investiga tion of Edenton and surround ing country. I will surely come and see your town and perhaps this fall. I enclose a few stamps and want a few papers of tiu regular issue. I have placed the papers in good hands aud will do same by all you may send. Respectfully, W. W. Taplin, Nellsville, Wis., July, 4, '95. TE.Mi'TEDTO PAY US A VISIT: Philadelphia, 2, 1895. Dear Sir: In compliance with your request on the cover of you Trade Edition for June, I acknowledge the receipt of a copy. I have read it with much in terest, heightened by the fact that in my childhood I resided for sometime in your town; and the receipt of your paper seems like a voice from the misty past. My father removed with his family from this city to Edenton in 1 8 17, He was a hatter, and proposed establishing his busi ness there. But, late in 18 19, he rrmrliidfrl in rfiirnto tllis . citY, As he owned two schooners, it was an easy matter to load his household goods, the implements of his trade, and some other ma terial on board the vessels; and we started, late in December. On Christinas day, i8i9,a terri ble storm raged along the South ern coast, and reached us in the neighborhood of Old Point Com fort. Our schooner, the "Louisa," struck on the bar 31 times, and on her 32 trial got over, and was soon in safety; while the other vessel foundered in sight of us, and all hands perished. While we lived in Edeuton my eldest sister, Susan, died aud was buried in St. Paul's P. E. Church yard. My father sent to this city lor a tombstone, on which these lines were cut: "Here, far from home the stranger sleeps But deeps to rise once more." I have always had a kindly feeling for Edenton, though I do not remember much, if anything about it. I have sometimes a vogue recollection of having been lost among some chinqua pin bushes; but I am not sure I did not learn it from the conver sation of my elders. Although lam eighty vearsof age, I think I may be tempted by your description to pav a visit, sometime before the end of the year, to your thriving and beau tiful city Resp'y Yours, Edward E. Joxes. 2509 Oxford St Six millions of dollars were loaned in London the other day at a trifle over half of one per cent., aud yet there are in that city over a hundred thousand paupers who daily look famine 111 the face.
