The Washington (D.C.) Star joins the newspapers favoring the whipping post. It says the T,cfnVf of Columbia lone had -S t, ivh snch a law. Atlanta is to have no bul fight, and no State or Territory in the Union appears willing to have any prize fight. Who says the world is not growing better? One reason why our town is not what it should be, is because every man would have others make 'a beginning and never thinks of himself. The population oi Edenton is increasing so rapidly that an ac curate census is almost impossi ble. It is certainly with pleas ure we note this. Kentucky Democrats predic that the Democratic State ticke will be elected by 35,000 major ity and that Senator Blackburn's return is already assured. If ex-President Harrison is niakiiur S60.000 a year at the -" ' ' practice of law, as stated, he had better stick to business. A good thing iu hand is better than some other things in the bush. The great pictorial lessons af forded by our fairs, render the Autumnal season during which they are held, a vast school, in which nearly every branch practical learning is taught in some degree. Edenton people ought to unite on every business and enterprise of the town. Stand to one an other, buy one of another, en courage each the other, and above all, give the stranger a hearty welcome. The fair issue of the Fisher man & Farmer, we are glad to learn, has met with a warm re ception. We shall ever strive to work for the interest of our town and its enterprises, and all w ask is a liberal patronage. The joyous week will soon b here. Iu fact, the Fair will be an immense gathering of people Friends will meet friends; old acquaintances will be renewec and new ones formed. For real lively, jolly, good time, giv us the Edenton fair. The citirens of Edenton mus bear in mind that pure water is a necessity to the well being o the town and the preservation o the health of the inhabitants It is time for us to look this matter sauarelv in the face. Now are you going to do it or are you gc iug to continue - to shirk your manifest duty as you have here tofore done. . . This year will be a great Fair year, and the progress of science and art will be- illustrated as never before iu their nearer ap proach to perfection. The san guine soul can scarcely overpaiiit the achievements of this nine teenth century that will be spread b fore the eyes of the world. Education will show her meth ods, invention will set forth her wonders, art will present her loftiness, the opulence of luscious fruits and beautiiul flowers will gladden the eye, and appeal to the t iste, and eery avenue of trade and wealth will pour out their best contributions 10 tne r.-sult. While the Edenton Fair mav not be replete with every thing that would be shown at a World's Fair or a Southern Ex position, still it will have its peculiar features, making it so attractive that none who can reasonably reach it can wisely stay away. It will be held four clays next week, beginning Tuesday. FIRE PROTECTION. Our Citizens Should Look After The Flues, Chimneys, Etc. Firemen Come Forward KDENTON HOOK AND LADDER CO. SHOULD REORGANIZE AND PREPARE TO FIGHT THE FIRE KING. It is well for us to remember that this is the season when fires are liable to occur at any mo ment, when the defective flues get iu their disastrious work, and when the citizen may wake up at night and find his property going up in smoke, and it be hooves us to prepare lor the emergency Eook over your house and see that the stoves, flues and chim neys are in good shape, and then, exercise proper caution iu bans ling fire in your home. Edenton Hook and Ladder Company, No. 1, should get to gether, elect a foreman one who knows something of handling the apparatus and prepare to fight fire systematically. We have many young men who would make splendid firemen, with a little training. Come, don't neglect this mat ter. A little attention now, will save much property in the future. Are you alive to your own in terests ? Then prepare for the fires which are sure to occur. THE RUNAWAY WIFE. Miss Louise Aydelle will pre sent "The Runaway Wife," Tuesday for her first nights en gagement in this city. The Columbia (S. C.) Daily News says of this play: "Those who witnessed the rendition of the Runaway Wife by Miss Louise Aydelle and her able company are all high iu , their praises of the excellent manner in which each one of the com pany performed their respective parts. The Runaway Wife is a melodrama with just -enough comedy interspersed to make the play interesting. It is a pathetic and inspiring play and the stage settings together with Miss Ay delle's rich aud elegant costumes added much to its effectiveness The specialty work of the Cun ningham sisters was of a high order and was greatly appreciat ed. Mr. W. II. Dupont as Sir Lancelot Travers was a success from the start, and the audience was not backward in attesting to that fact. The company, with Miss Aydelle at the head, is com posed of good actors and actress es, aud the whole entertainment was devoid of any irregular or course acting or sayings. The Tuxedo orchestra com posed of mandolins and violins was a novelty never before seen or heard here. Their music is of that soft and entrancing ua ture that it steals over one's senses in a most delightful man ner."

Page, cashier of the Bank of Edenton and one of our most prominent citizens, died at his home on King street Wednesday afternoonat 5 o'clock. after an illness of only a few days; aged 44 years. The earth that will close up the grave of Mr. Page this after noon will cover the earthly re mains of one whose life was without blemish the personfica- tiou of manhood, noble, gentle and true, and a most polished gentleman. His death leaves a void iu our community,, and all classes of our people feel the loss. The general expression of sor row prevailing iu our midst is an indication of the very great esteem in which he was held. His good name is a priceless heritage to his family, aud a truly honored one in the annals of our city. Peace to his ashes. Is I.IFESAKU? Not without Bully's Cholera (Jure.

On Saturday night last the col ored people of the Scuppernong section in this countv held an en tertainment of some kind. Dur iug the evening some of the at tendants partook too freely of King Barley, and about midnight a fight occurred between two men, whose names we have not learned, in which one of them was so badly injured that he died the following day. It is said that the killing was in self defense, but the murderer left for parts unknow 1 immedi ately after the fight, aud at this writing has not been captured.

"Several years ago, while in Fort Snelling, Minn., I caught a severe cold, attended with a terrible cough, that allowed me no rest day or night. The doctors after exhaust ing their remedies, pronounced my case hopeless, say ing they could do no more for me. At this time a bottle of AYER'S Cherry Pectoral was sent to me by a L-r, J friend who urged me to take it, which I did, and soon after I was greatly relieved, and in a short time was completely cured. I have never bad much of a cough since that time, and I firmly believe Ayer's Cherry Pectoral saved my life." "W. II. "Wakd, 8 Quimby A v., Lowell, Mass.

W f The live stock feature of a fair is always a popular one A long row of stalls filled with the choicest possessions of stock raisers, is an attraction that is always inviting and interesting, and a grand parade of premium animals is a scene that has no superior.' The exhibits at a fair fan our zeal for knowledge, and call our attention forcibly to the living problem of industrial and agri cultural education. While we are extravagant in the description aud praise of the Edenton Fair, yet we risk uoth iug in saving that everybody who visits it this year, will find what they see in reality far ex ceeding any conception of it formed from reading this paper. Our American genius has cre ated a peculiarly American inv stitution in pur agricultural fairs, and nobody should permit our show for this year to pass by without its having a chance to exert upon him to the widest extent, all its enlightening and elevating influences. We fiim not only to equal all former exhibitions, but to excel any and all of them. The best proof of the sincerity of our pre tentious can be found by attend ing the fair this year, and testing for yourself, by comparing it with the exhibitions you have witnessed upon our grounds ip previous years.
