Zeik'ler, the Economist's first devil boy, now one of our best and most prominent citizens, and our foremost sportsman, altho a suc cessful business man, was in to see us Saturday and told ns more about name birds and bird do?, in an hour's talk, than wo ever knew be fore in a life time of observation. j Several nuestions are unsettled amontrus: Is the disease prevail ing among us contagious or epidem ic Is it of a mild or virulent type t We wish the bora of the A.

The representative of .the Ecoxo mist will be at Currituck Court next week, and we hope the courtesies and the kindness that he has here tofore received, will be again shown him. . For nearly twenty-eight years the Economist has been .identified with Cumtuck county, and we have always striven to do our duty to the grand old Democratic strong hold, and we are proud that time ha not diminished our friendships with its best men, or our interest in everything that pertains to the land we love and admire. The venerable Thomas L. Sander son departed this life on Monday morning, at his home in this town, aged about 82 years. He was one of our oldest and most esteemed citizens, full of godliness and a faith ful member of the Methodist church. He had been in feeble health for several years and finally succumbed to age and its infirmities, and took to his bed? some weeks before he died, welcoming the final summons with resignation and faith. His re mains were taken to his old home in Currituck county on Tuesday and interred in the old family burying ground. James Bond & Sons, of Balti more, are in the commission field for the North Carolina fish trade. Their reputation as reliable and ac tive fish dealers is of the best and has been maintained for half a cen tury by two generations. James Bond, Sr., was always our ideal of a good man, full of kindness and be nevolence for all the unfortunates among men. His presence always made us happier and better for his coming. His sons, we have never met, but we always hear that they are the worthy sons of a worthy father. For nearly thirty ' years they have been friends and adver tisers in the Economist. Dr.'W. S. Temple, one of the most prominent citizens of upper Pas-oaotiink county, departed this life on Wednesday morning, after a short illness, aged 02 years. Dr. Temple waa ouo of our most promi nent and influential citizens. He was a true man iu the highest sense of the word. He was upright u his life, rmiet and amiable in his dispo sition, and as courageous iu his con victions ox the r;ght as any man. In his profession he held high posi tion in the front rank, and his in lluence was always on the side of right and justice. The death of such a man as JJr. xempie was a public calamity and his loss will be long felt in the community. TIntw itmnv nnnnla is there in town tb&t have bought plated spectacles for solid gold.

The history of Industrial Fairs in Elizabeth City is a history of dis mal failures- We see no good rea. son why it should be so, unless it bo that we are built that way. And wo cannot see any reason why -we should be built that way. We have a productive back country,and we are in sifrht and contiguous to broad waters. We are connected with the outside world by railroad and stam boats. We are at tne head of the sound and river trade of East Caro lina.: Wo shall soon have the .Roa noke and the broad waters tributary to our business, and . we shall tap the Norfolk trade from North Caro lina passing by our doors, and if our business men don't avail them selves of their opportunity, then the hand of . destiny will turn 'another way from' where it has pointed for over a hundred years, and our busi ness men are not made of the mat erial that we are won't to ascribe to them. ! An Industrial Fair is one of the most important agencies in the de Telopment of towns and cities in these latter days of our history. They were so in the dark ages of an tiquity ano their great inlfuence has been felt in the century now closing. A town that has no attractive Fair,is behind the times, a poor man at a wedding, a girl out of the fashion, the fifth wheel of a coach,no where. We have au illustration at our doors. Look at New Bern with its two thirds cf semi civilized popula tion. It is behind Elizabeth City in buines?, in enterprise, in push Nature has done less for it than E. .

But it baa a mid winter,Fair that is a sticcesa and is the best ad vertisement of the towu that any town m North Carolina has. By this agency alone New Bern is bet ter known than any town in Last Carolina, and but for the unfortun ate medly of its mixed population, it would lead rhe State, and owing, most of all, to its great fair. Why is this so? Mainly because the bus- iness'men have taken hold of this in stitution of the town and made it a great success. Why have our fairs been a failure. Plainly, because our business men have stood off and not given them a hearty and cordial co operation. The times are auspicious for start ing anew. In May,it is thought, that the old Dismal Swamp Canal will be opened to navigation, with such width and depth that the largest vessels, steamers and barges, can and will pass through. The most sagacious and far seeing practical men say it will be a new departure in the business and prosperity of- our town. A new railroad, the -Elizabeth City &-Western,s is chartered and it will not be long before com pletion. Let us take time by the forelock and start a Fair. It will be a prime necessity to us.

In a competitive drill at the fair grounds between the New Bern, Washington and Elizabeth City Companies, our boys, Capt. W. T. Old, commanding, won the prize of a beautiful U. S. Flag. In common parlance t;Eph Got the Coon." . The handsome flag was presented by Mrs. Holister, a fair and youth ful matron, whose gracefulness in its delivery and kind words of com pliment won .the admiration of all who were present. We subjoin the closing part of Mrs. Holister's beautiful presenta tion address: ' "When asked by the Fair Associa tion to present the flag to the win ning military company, I felt it quite an honor and said, 'with pleasure, 1 11 do my best Now since seeing the competitive drill I know It is an honor far too great for me. A flag so meritoriously won deserves pre sentation by a most gifted orator. However, not being one, I can sim ply say to day's victory only proves you will win forever laurels on every field of action. I take great pleas ure, I assure you, in presenting the Elizabeth City Naval Reserves this flag in the name of the New Bern Mid Winter Fair Association. Take this flag, may it wave Proudly o'er the good and brave As an emblem of sacred trust. In cause that's right and just Fight and die, if die ve must, But never let it trail in dust. Love this banner as a token. That old barriers down are broken, And love flows full and free. Those who fought with (irant and Lee From north to south, from sea to sea Are brothets now, and e'er shall be. Now this banner waves so lightly, Now its colors gleam so brightly, But, in years when hearts are hoary, May vou tell with pride the story. How in battle rent and gory It is e'en the same "Old Glory!" How many people, is there in town that have bougnt platad spectacles for solid gold.. How many have regreted buying from strangers. Read Hatha way Bros. ad. Uysters. Mr. C. C. Allen, of this town, is one of the new oyster Commission ers. We know oi no oiner, ai mis . a M 111' writing, except Mr. John M. Clay ton, of Englehard. Messrs. Allen and Clayton are both excellent ap- nnintmonh. and will do muck to simplify and make effective th oy ter legislation of our State. There are from CO to 70 vessels in the oys- ter trade cf our sounds and rivers. The State should derive a valuable revenue from them. There is very little change in the legislation as to dredging, which has, hitherto, been the bete noir and stumbling block in our oyster legislation. We regard into districts, of the oyster grounds, and assigning separ ate districts to each individual Com- misioner. as a valuable feature of the new law. We understand that Mr. Allen will be assigned to the fclizabeth City District, so called, and therefore will have the . import ant duty of guarding the non-resi dent clause, and protecting our oys ier fundum from the trespass of on-rpsidents- We are satisfied Mr. Allen will do his whole duty. Hyde and Carteret counties are not exempt from the operations of the general oyster law. We shall keep our right eye (which Dr. Newton, the oculist, says is our best eye) on the oyster fundum and our naw Board of Commissioners, and shall look forward with hope to the best results from their appointment. We have often said that our oyster beda were a mine of wealth", and we want the Board to verify our declaration. Since writing the above we have seen the following in the News and Observer: "The new Shell Fish Commission elected by the Legislature I is. com posed of the following, wio were named in the new oyster law: Messrs. John W. Claytonjof Hyde; Geo. H. Hill" of Beaufort; Daniel L. Roberts," of Craven; C. C Allen, of Pasquotank; Robert Wallace, of Carteret; B. D. Scaiboro, iof Dare; D. B. Hooker, of Pamlico.
