BUSY READER
Read the new advertisement in this

Services at the various churches last
Sunday were slimly attended. The rain
and mud greatly interfered.
The Grip has fe Lrful grip upon some
of the people in Edenton. Whole fam
lilies are down with it. No deaths.
Last week is usually considered NOV

were but a very few changes made in
this town.
The next term of Special Court will
be held when Squire Rogerson wilfully
and maliciously disregards the law. He
is being watched.
The many visitors who came to Ed
enton to pass the holidays with rela-
tives and friends, are gradually leaving
for their respective homes.
We cannot understand what the good
people of Plymouth were thinking
about to allow Prof. Toms, of Hartford,
who has so long taught school IN their
town, to accept of a call to the Dur
ham Graded School.

A certain young lady in Edenton on
Broad street has the power of training
chairs. She has chair now trained to
walk, which, it is said, always walks
sin the way she would have it go"
But. of late, it has been seen to go only
in the direction of a Ger tain fellow.
Watch those trained chairs.
Mr.. F. G Mitchell, recently with the
Bee Hive in this city, left yesterday

d r. Mitchell is hustler and has in him
all the elements of success in the par
ticular line he has chosen. He will
travel this section and we bespeak for
him encouragement from our merchan-

Since the passage of the building law,
compelling those who wish to build
house in Edenton to get the consent of
the Building Committe before SO doing,
a complete record will be kept of the
building progress of the town. The
FISHERMAN & farmer proposes to give
list at the end of the year of the hum
Der of houses erected during the next
twelve months. There has never been
a record of this sort kept.
Gill Thomas gave a musical ente1-
tainment at the Opera House last Tues
day night that was greatly enjoyed by
those present. A silver cup was voted
to the most popular young lady in
Edenton and Miss Mary Gilbert proved
to be the lucky lady of the town. The
contest was exceedingly exciting and
the run was very close between Miss
Sallie Bland and Miss Gilbert. Both
