West Fourth street improvements.
The last vestiee of the wcll-known old
spring on Fourth street between Orange
and Tatnall has been removed, and while
the stream of water flows es steadily as
ever at its new outlet, Ihird and ratnall
streets, workmen are busy perfecting the
Improvements on West Fourth street.
These improvements, in addition to lay
ing sewer along the centre Of the street,
viii! comprise raising Of the grade at
Tatnell street and cutting down OF the
hill between Tatnsl! and West to the ex-
tent Of about two feet. This will make a
material difference in what has for years
been on awkward hill, dangerous to
travel. When the grading is finished the
bed of the street will be paved with the
cobble.stones that have been piled up on
the south sidewalk for several months,
aud tie street will then be in good condi
ton for travel. Sewer connections are
also being made a. Eetuall street, SO as to
obviAte the necessity for the covered
cutters heretofore existing there.

following information
"Chowan county Alliance has called
a meeting Of Alliance men from Bcrtie,
Chowan, Perquimans, Tyrrell and

for erecting at Edenton cotton factory,
oil mill and canning establishment
While this is news to us yet, We
would hail with pleasure such a meet
iog and would give every possible aid
in our power towards erecting the es-
tabliehments named. Edenton is a
central point from which quick commu-
nication is had with all places in each
of the counties named and is the very
best location that could have been
selected. Transportation to and from
from Edenton is cheap and convenient,
and to the already competing lines, it
is rumored, another will soon be added
thus making two Railroad lines beside
the steam boa which daily ply our
waters. May the Alliance people

A WAsHiNGToN correspondent to
the Durham Plant, speaking of Gen.
Mat w. Ransom and his connection
with the Congress of the United
States, says:
Il see that the State papers are
publishing the statement that Sena-
tor Ransom is the senior Democratic
Senator. This is a mistake. Sen
ator Isham @. Harris, of Tennessee,
will have served twenty-four con-
secutive years-four consecutive
terms-on March 4th. Senator Ran
som will have served only eighteen
years-or three terms. At the end
of his present term, he would have
caught up with Senator Harris, but
Tennessee has returned Senator Har-
ris to the Senate and he will take
the oath Of Office for the fifth term
next March. The only way for
North Carolina to get even with
Tennessee is for Senator Ransom to
se-ve fifth term, which OF course [
think he will and ought to do. He
will be still in his prime when lis
next term expires, and he does more
work and shows the effects OF it less
than ninetenths of the Senators on
the floor, who claim to be much
younger men. He is as erect as an
Indian, is very active and energetic,
and is in perfect health. He makes
very little fuss about it. but he does
an enormous amount of work, often

are as dunn as an oyster believing,

ALBEMARLE Agricultural and
Piscatorial Society would be a good
name for the Fair heretofore spoken
of as contemplated by our business
people. Fishing and agriculture are
the landmarks Of prosperity in this

OF both these enterprises. An exhi-
bition of fish saved for use and any

covered improvement in the MoDUs

would not fail to greatly interest
those of us whose interest is indirectly
connected with the interest and pros
perity of the fishermen as we'll as
farmers.
There is no reason why an exhibit
ton of a general character cannot be
had here, in this section, that would
do credit to the entire State. Every
