They have charter ed a train and wiU ran and excur sion on July 10th and nth from Plymouth to Norfolk an return. It is far white people only and the fare is only fa.oo for the round trip. It wilt be a fine opportunity for two days sport and every body in and around town are going to take it in. Would it not be well for our Commissioned* to look after the sanitary condition of the town? Nbthing will injure the reputation of a town so quickly as allowing its sanitary condition to become dubious. The presence of fever indicates that something is wrong, and this matter should be attended to promptly. The back lots on either sidff of Main street are in bad condition and the streets are not in accord with the highest idea of decency. Can we not as a town in older tc improve the sanitray conditions and to insure ourselves a gainst fever and disease, rid our selves of the nuisance of bogs, cat tle goats, etc., running at large? We can never expect to have de cent streets as long as the present state of affairs exists. These are all plain facts and the commission ers have got them to pocket. Sheriff Crawford came up Mon day morning on official business. He left on the afternoon train and also left his pocket book contain ing about S7OO. Before the train got to WUliamston, the Sheriff was back in Robentouville. When he got down from his buggy, W. A.' James says, "come here Sheriff," you should have seen the smiles thrft covered that serious face. The contracted and anxious brow, the frowning and troubled countenance were dispelled by the single words, "come here." The Sheriff wasn't boozy, just a little absent minded. Somewhat like the man who want ed to take a bath and got into his wife's bureau drawer instead of the bath tub. The Sheriff is one of the cleverest men in Martin Coun ty, and haa hosts of friends inßob ersonville.
