SOME GOOD SUGGESTIONS.

Ma. En1ToR After thinking about
the fair of 1890, and the premiums to
be offered, it seems, in fairness to the
farmers and, also, to any manufacturers
of fertilizers who may offer premiums,
that premium list of some description
ought to be issued as early as February;
and in lien of issuing the general
premium list early in the year, as
several fair associations think Of doing,
would it not be we'll for the Edentou
Agricultural and Fish Fair association
to issue. as earl y as possible, calen-
dar for 1890 with the premium lists
for farm crops and pantry supplies
upon the back, or else issue circular
letter to the farmers of this and ad-
joining counties, as early as February,
giving list of premiums offered for
farm products, including, of course,
the list of fertilizers offered as pre-
miums by manufacturers or their agents.
This should be followed, in Janv.
by similar letter, to the ladies, set
ting forth the primiums offered for
pantry supplies and such other articles
as ladies usually contribute
In September the general premium
list should be issued, and thus the
fair would be kept before the people.
It is the experience of many that
pamphlets, when first received, are OF
interest, soon they become monoton.
Gus and are finally lost or destroyed.
Fair premium lists are not exceptions
to this rule and I fear that pre- MUM
list issued early in the gear viii find its
way into the waste basket and be
destroyed long before the fair and
thus it's mission would not be full.
filled.
Again it is doubtful whether the
advertisers in the Fall premium list
would place their cards IN pamph.
let gotten out near the first of wear,
when it is most probable that In
August or in September they would,
and to gain the advertisements is a
matter of Importance.

Barn Burned.

A letter from Mr.. John Mcguire
informs US that on the morning be-
fore Christmas his barn, containing
large lot of corn, fodder and other
provender, was consumed by fire.
All the indications, says he, pointed
to the fact that it was the work of
an incendiary. Mr.. Maguire is a
quiet, good citizen and we cannot
conceive how any man could wish
him the injury he has suffered from
this burning IF he should turn out
right in his apprehensions, we trust
the guilty demon will be caught and
dealt With accor. ling to tle utmost
severity Of the law.

"Our Man. had q pleasant holiday
season. He went to church on Xmas
day herd a good sermon and some
matchless music. After, he got q
good dinner with friends at his own
home whore he has standing invi-
tation to go, when not invited any
where else, which, generally, he ac-
cepts without word or, the slightest
hesitation. It's a good thing to have
a place of your own to go to. If you
don't, you are left and that too, in
the street and in terrible state of
discomfort especially at this season
of the year. In all his walks about
the city, our man observed nothing,
during the whole of the holiday,
offensive to peace, dignity and good
manners save, now and then a stray
fellow who, loaded to the brim, was too
heavy for any hurrah and, therefore,
content to slaz-oer the hours away.
Ours is peaceable people, drunk or
sober. for when sober, they have no
occasion for disturbance and, when
drunk, they are generally SO thor
oughly so as to preclude the possibil-
ity of anything save, perhaps, fall
and a nap. There has been no
lighting whiskey" sold this Xmas.
The drunkest man we saw, at any
time, was in the best humor.
Our merchants all seem satisfied
with the quantity Of business done
by thsm during the festal season
and are now making ready for the
Spring when fishing fills the folks
with finance making them able and
willing investors in things good and
useful at any price.
The smell of coal-tar is in all the
air. Our fisherman are tarring their
nets preparatory for an early setting.
They tell US that the signs point to
an early season and, unless old 1rl
R. Hicks predicts the contrary, they
will begin operations at an early
date. Success to them, say we, and,
in this, we are seconded by all the
people. They never had better
weather FOR preparation than has
blessed them this winter.

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

Our Man has somewhat to say this
week in the way Of complaint. In
the first place he desires to say that
the people, here and hereabouts. are
too speculative as to his identity.
Some say it is one man and some say
it must, of necessity, be another
because, that other was the only one in
Edenton who ever resorted to the
style peculiar to Our Mans weekly
reports. Now. he wishes to say to
all those whom it may concern that
he was born aud raised in Edenton
and with slight exception, has lived
here the bulk Of his days. He has
not been outside the corporate limits
of Edenton more than six times in
ten years and then, never to stay
more than three days at any one time.
He is neither fisherman, farmer,
mechanic, salesman, merchant,
preacher, doctor, officer, banker,
tailor, house-keeper, teacher, loafer
Except occasionally or anything else
of stupendous consequence either
mental. physical or, moral. He is q
man like the common run of men
who, ordinarily, can tell his right
from his left hand and can carry 8
straight tale to the FISHERMAN AND
FARMER which, in consequences pub. .
lished by that paper without reserve
or, amendment. He desires to say to
this public that he will continue,
from time to time, to make his rounds
in Edenton and take note of passing
events. He will speak plainly of
men, things and occurrences and
spare not, in comment, either folks,
associations, combines or, individ-
uals public or. private. He will not
always chide neither will he incessan-
tly indulge in praise but, he will
present all things truly as they
come to his knowledge to the best of
his ability &c" He will act self
constituted 1NQUIRIENDO for the
body of the town of Edenton and
such other precincts, as he nlay find
it convenient to travel, within the
geographical limits of Chowan Co..
and will report the result of his in
quiry for publication in these col
umns. 1t is entirely useless to de-
clare his name because, If he did,
eyerv man, woman and child in
Chowan county would know him
and prehaps, some day, when he
least expected it, some fellow would
throw his hand in his collar for some
thing too plainly underscored Or
italicized in one or, another of his
weekly Communications or. reports.
He never intends to tell his name
and therefore, does not intend to
retract any statement heretofore or,
kereafter made. In the event any
oYense shall be given, the party
attended has ''Our Mans" consent

AID. On Saturday the following letter,
which is self-explanatory was received
by Col. Robinson:
Col. j. G. Robinson:
DEAR SIR-My attention being called
to the fact that the investigation lately
had, concerning the sale of surplus stock
from the Washington-street stables, has
been grossly exaggerated, to the injury
of the company, and has also been used
by interested parties as casting refec-
tion upon yourself, l deem it duty to
place on record the fact that no such
action was intended as against yourself,
and further, that no evidence has APP
peared in any manner rejecting upon
your integrity and management. l find
that the disposal of horses was ordered
by resolution of the board of directors,
authorizing Chambers to make the sales.
The leakage discovered in this direction
has been of a normal character, and has
not involved the company in material
loss. Respectfully, J. F. CRANK,
Nice-President.

GUS residents of Los Angeles city and

segregated. will make very interesting
statistics. 1t is expected that all the
citizens will reply promptly to all the
questions and facilitate the enumera-
ton. The enumerators are required to
take down the number of the dwelling
house, the number of persons in the
house and the number in each family.
The enumerators must then enter on the
sheets the Christian name of each per-
