OUR MAN ABOUT TOWN !
WHAT HE SEES AND HEARS DURING
THE WEEK.

In our rounds this week we nnQ
the ladies and meu on tiptOe Of ex-
pectation. They are looking for all
their invited friends, as we'll as those
who need no invitation, to come to
Edenton and share in the hospitali-
ties Of the homes Of it's citizens dur
ing the Fair, It is g subject of much
cOn0ratuIation, the union Of the en-
tire people in effort to make tie first
exhibition Of the fair a complete
success. The enterprise, from the
very beginning ofits history, received
the unexampled favor of every
friend of progress in our midst, and,
after the officers of the society were
chosen, confidence in its certainty
became at once universal. There
was never more wisdom exercised in
the permanent organization of any
association, no society was ever better
offieered, or more deserving in all its
constituency,
If the weather continues good we
shall not only be favored with a
pleasing exhibition but, we shall have
a town reasonably full of happy
visitors. SO may it be.
Among the young people. the
Colonial Hall ball is the chief sub.
ject of interest at present. Under
the management of a most excellent
committee, this will be an opportuni-
tv, during fair week. for the lovers
Of the quadrille to indulge their fond.
ness and demonstrate their grace.
Old soldiers are contemplating
their proposed reunion during the
fair with much pleasure. Hon G. W.
San6erlin will receive a warm greet
ing at their hands. We hope for "a
large turn out Of this element in our
section both for their own good and
for the pleasure Of the multitude of
people who will! be present and who
always feel an undying interest
in the survivors, of the lost cause.
The admirers of Hon, T. j. Jarvis
(and legion is their name) are
looking toward to his address with
an interest which only such as Jarvis
can inspire. He is known friend
to agriculture and all the other indus
tries which contribute to make the
Old North State what she is, the
proud peer of any Of the sister
hood Of States. He will never fail
to draw Carolinians in audience as long
ss their recollection of his past faithful
servicis to the public shall remain as
verdant as now.
A wall around the market O1acos
gave "Our Man" an opportunity to in
terview the dealers in green groceries
&c. They are, with the rest of the peo-
pie, looking for a big crowd during the
Fair and are making every preparation
to supply the hotels and housekeepers
with the very best of meats, fruits and
vegetables. This is right for, where
many are gathered, there, much will
be consumed.
Our hotels, boarding houses and res.
taurants will enlarge themselves, SO to
speak, for the occasion. Their keepers
and owners are determined that no man
shall go away III. T. for want of things
in every way suited to the appetite and
promotive Of good living.
A general observation leads us to be-
lieve that nearly all of our people are
home again from their summer and fall |
trips. This being true. large number |
of people will be entertained as visitors
by private families during Fair week SO /
that,it is hardly possible to guess the ex-
tent of the multitude which will daily |
throng the grounds and buildings aid I
which will fill our city throughout the
entire exhibition OF the EIDE nton Agri-
and Fish Fair.
