Edenton, X. C. May 15, 1 90 1. Ed. Fisherman & Farmer, I desire to direct the attention or our North Carolina fish -rmc-n to the wide possibilities before them in the conversion of the herring into what is ca'iled Bloater Paste. This article, is the meat of the smoked English herring lreed from bones and put up in tins or earthen jars in the form of canned goods. It is used on buttered bread in sand wich form and constitutes a rel ish of supeiior quality. Through Mr. A. G. (A brain) Bush of Edeuton, and by his courtesy, i have had a sample recently and find that it is in all respects a first class food article. Its con venient form gives it every ad van t ge to consumers over the salt herring in barrels. Tiie I'doater or English smok ed herring was sold here at Edenton in the early spring and I consumed several dozen to test their quality and to contrast them With our home smoked product. I am now testing sam ples of the latter prepared by Air. J. K. Rea of Edenton and I believe them, w lien fresh, (as these are) just as good as the English Bloater. Mr. Henry A. bond of Edenton says that the flavor of a smoked herring de pends largely on the kind of 1 tne producer 1 ne auty itseii is that much in the favor of an American product. Our refrig erating plants (ice factories) would permit the holding of herring and prolonging the sea son of rnenufacture, should such, a factor be necessary. The North Carolina catch amounts to about 35 mill ion fish which, at 2 '; fish to the pound amount to about 14 million pounds. For this product we :et but ei: t tenths ol a cent per pound, or 80 cents per hun dred weight. Theie is quite a diffeience in our fishermen re- cerving eighty cents per lbs. of herring while, i! they W vi e DU) 1 : x ig nerrmg paste they wen Id pay $ quantity. .00 lor an equal S. G. Worth.

SURFMAN'S ASSOCIATION. Ed. Fisherman & Farmer. Elizabeth City, N. C. Dear Sir : Herewith you will find a copy of by laws of our Association. Oar first plan was to have fach Life Saving District to organize in like man ner, and then effect a National Association independent of the District Association; but having failed to get a majority of the districts to organize for the want of some one to go ahead with the work, we have decided to recommend that our by laws be amended to suit a Aauunai -Association, at our an nu.l meeting in Juu I have received two or three hundred lettters during this sea son from officers and surfmen, in the service concerning the As sociation regreiting their inabili ty to organize their Distri ct nd askg that our by laws be so amende as to admit them as members. This can be dene, I think, in this way. By appointing a com- mitte of three in each district as a branch of the Association, who will recommend candidates for membership and certify deaths etc. There are about two thousand keepers and surfmen in the service, besides the de partnient and district officers. With proper safe guards I can see no reason why we cannot KJEGTJLATION AND BY-LAWS T H E SURE M A X S B E NEE I T ASSOCIATION. OF i.

In addition to this there shall be collected from each member, with each assessment as above, the sum of ten cents for stationary, printing and postage; provided, that, if this amount is 111 excess ol the amount really needed for incU dental expenses, it shall be re- duced to a sum sufficient to cover actual needs.

In case there be more than one death at a tune, the allot ment on hand shall be equally divided between the window or heirs of the deceased and an other call issued at once.

Cannon, late Presi dent of the Mormon Church, was evidently a man of genius When he died a lew week ago, full of years and honors, he left four widows, thirty three child ren aud an unspecified number of grandchildren. What Tenny son said of the Light Brigade applied with equal truth to the Patriarch Cannon : Cannons to right of him. Cauuoas to lft of him. Cannon in front of him, Volleyed and thundered. In spite, however, of the oner ous burden of providing a "lull dinner pail" for the quartet of M rs. Cannons and the two dozen and nine children who rose up to call them blessed, the Patriarch Cannon died in a piosperous and property h;hl ng condition And his will, just probated, is a wonder. He has left a seoarat- home to each of his widows, and an! acre oi laud 2,000 in casn to leach of his thirty-three children 'as they come of age The re j tnainder 01 his real estate, valued ' at S800.000. he leaves to the whole family, which is to be incorporated as "a community of interest," presumably under block of the stock alter the estate has accumulated lor forty years untouched. This is the prosperity of the lather to be vlsiteJ on the children to tne third and loarth generation An 1 the widows four, thirty fh rddr-n and the unspectK bed grandchildren are all report- ed as perfectly satisfied.
