Winston Daily man ought to be
lynched. he says that the figures
1888 look like three fat girls and a
dude walking side by side down the
street.
The fishermen are at work prepar-
ing for the coming season, which is
predicted to be early and good. Some
have already tarred their nets and
are ready. to set, as soon as the
weather improves.
A pleasant little sociable was given
at the residence OF Mr.. II. A. Bond,
Jr., on Friday night last. The chill
dren all enjoyed themselves and the
evening spent happily by some few
older ones present.
The Norfolk Southern Railroad
Company have issued special cir
cular announcing the appointment OF
Mr.. 1. z. Jernigan, formerly book
keeper, to the position of auditor Of
the company.-Virginian.
Rev. j. H. Manley, P. E.. gave US
a pleasant call on yesterday. He is
a clover, polite, genteel colOred gen
tleman, and we are always glad to
meet him. He will give tonight a
vocal and instrumental concert, for
the benefit of the church, at Plymouth.
Give it to them, Brother Skinner.
Don't let them take all from us. The
Custom House certainly belongs in
Edenton. We congratulate you
Brother. on the way in which you so
plainly explains the truth and shows
up facts.
Our friend, Elmer Hines, Esq, Of
Plymouth, dropped in to see as on
yesterday while passing through the
city on his way to Mattaponi river,
where he will assume charge of u.
S. Government Snag Boat, He paid
our paper many compliments.
We would he under obligations to
all parties if they would send us in
notices Of parties visiting them. or
going away, or other items of interest.
Your friends would like to call Oh
your visitors but often 60 not learn
of their being here till too late.
Woodland Bros. have erected, in
front Of their store, city Bulletin.
where prices can be daily found by
anyone wishing to purchase groceries.
This IS surely good idea. 1t gives
all an opportunity to see for them
selves, and we advise our readers to
visit this Bulletin before buying; it
will payryou to do SO.
We hear much comment upon the
sermons, on Sunday last. by the Rev.
Earnest Stevens, of the Methodist
church, and Rev. F. NJ. Satterwhite,
Of the Edenton Baptist Tabernacle
Both preached strong and excellent
discourses. They are certainly IN
lurling the banner of truth in plain
and strong words, which is truly the
way to do it.
A glance at the advertising col
umns of the FISHERMAN & FARMER
shows that business men are discOv-
ering the benefits of judiciOus adver
Using. We are proud to acknowledge
that our patronage this season is far
in excess of former sea sons and we
feel grateful! that it is so. and appre
ciate fully the high estimate that is
placed on the paper. It's value as an
advertising medium is admitted by
those competent to judge.

Talk About Politics.

Thus far there has been no men,
ton Of any candidates for the State
offices.
1t is generally understood that So
licitor David R. Duncan will run
against Congressman Perry.
Capt. Geo. E. Prince, of Anderson,
Capt ". G. MCGOWAN, Of Abbeville,
Col. r. A. Child. of Pickens, and the
Hon. NJ. +. Ansel, Of Greenville, are
candidates for solicitor, to succeed
Col. James L. Orr.
AS Solicitor Duncan will not be a
candidate for reelection, candidates
for that Office are appearing in all the
counties Of his circuit. Col. R. c..
Watts and y. J. Holmes. Of Laurens.
Col. II. Farley, of Spartanburg, Da
vid Johnson, Jr.. Of Union, and L. O..

of as persons in the path Of the light

There are faint rumo7s of opposi.

The present indications are that
Congressman Cotbran, Dibble, Hemp.

1t is said that the Hon. D S. Hen

He has also placed the temporary
timbers for the bridge ofthe Chester

substantial, structure Of stone and2

Griffin and Gorton, who are now
making preparations for the work
for which an immense quantity OF
stone will be required. The deep cut,
the heaviest work now on Griffin

Committed to Jail for Beating His
Wife. .
Lancaster Lelqer.

On Tuesday last Mr.. R. d. Bar
rier, of Mount Pleasant, n. c., in
response to a message from his sister,
Mrs. B. F. Welsh, swore out peace
warrant at her request against B, +.
Welsh, and the matter came up at
once for a hearing before Trial Jus.
tice B. J. Witherspoon. Mrs. B. +.
We Il, his wife, John R. Welsh, his
father, and Mrs. Harriet Welsh, his
mother appeared as witnesses against
the defendant. The testimony was
such narrative of brutality and cru
city on the part Of B. F. Welsh to
his wife as to arouse the hot indig-
nation Of the many spectators who
had gone into Court to hear the pro-
ceedings.
If it had not been for the long and
patient endurance Of his notle wife,
who has for so long q time sought to
hide her troubles from the public, the
savage husband would long ago have
been incarcerated to prevent his out
RACES. On Tuesday. however. her
patience was exhausted and the story
of her wrongs Tas told. We venture
to say that more shocking hist"ry
of cruel and brutal treatment by a
husband to wife has rarely, if ever,
been told in a Court before. The
testimony developed that he had
cursed her, kicked and beaten her.
leaving his marks and bruises on her
body, that he had pursued her with
sticks, on one occasion with butcher
knife. presented pistols at her head,
threatening to blow her brains out.
pursuing her from her home to her
nother.;n-law's in the dead hours OF
the night, where she fed for pro
lection
The trial justice, after hearing the
testimony. was so impressed with the
gravity Of the charges against the
defendant and the danger that bis
wife was in, that he required a bond
in the sum of $1,000 to keep the
peace. He was committed to jail in
default of hail.
