indicating that Nag's Head will be
more largely patronized this season
than for many. The old ho;el has
been repaired and refurnished. The
new hotel is nearly completed and
will soon open. Go early and stay
late if you would avoid sickness
entirely and enjoy the full benefits Of
the place. Friend Jacobs promises
delightful season to all. Let all go
who can.
The Nag's Head season will soon
open and as usual, many families
from Edenton and adjoining towns
will 90 down and will Of course buy
in their supplies for the summer.
We propose to furnish you as cheap
as you can buy in Baltimore or New
York, and ask you to write and get
quotations and we will prove that we
can save you money.

The closing exercises of the Eden
ton High School which came off on
last Tuesday evening, was pleasant
occasion and reflected great credit
upon this education institute. The
Rotations and declarations were Of
high order and received the merited
appreciation of large and appreci-
alive audience. Several scholars re-
ceived medals for their excellent
work. The singing was under the
management of Mrs Butt and Miss
Gilbert, who rendered some sweet
songs.
Mr.. A. A. Perry was at Baltimore
last Thursday buying horses. and
while at the depot shipping them, two
men drove up with fine mare which
they sold to Mr.. Perry for $50. The
horses arrived in Edenton Saturday.
On Monday Messrs. Isaac S. Felbert
and t. Barrenger arrived here and
claimed the animal. They said they
d. owe in the city Of Baltimore on
Thursday and, hitching their horse.
went up a stairway on business and
returning they missed both horse and
buggy. Two men had stolen them
and sold to Perry; one of the men
has been arrested. Mr.. Perry gave
the animal up willingly.
On Friday, Jan. 21st, 1887, Mr..
VIM. Leary, son Of our Chief of
Police, Chas. Leary, Esq, received
lick with an axe from the hands Of
Noah Bullock, which at that time
was thought to be fatal. Mr.. Leary
suffered for some time and recovered.
Bullock was tried for A. and B., and
dismissed on an Imprisonment. On
last Saturday evening about 6 o'clock
Mr.. Leary began to complain with
his head where this wound was. He
went to his physician who duly pre-
scribed for him. Returning to his
home he grew rapidly worse, and
died about midnight. The Doctor
who was with him, says his death
was from the blow he received. Mr..
Leary was quiet young man and
respected by all who knew him. To
his family, we extend our deepest
sympathy. He was buried Monday.
