A Superior Fish

Mr.. w. ii. Lewis. who some time
ago moved from Nash to Newport,
Carteret county, where he is engaged
in the wholesale fish and oyster bust
ness, has sent samples of what he calls
sea shad which is pronounced superior
to any salt fish known. 1t is very
much on the order Of the white, or
lake fish, but is larger and fatter and
better in every way. 1t is the very
thing for these times being SO fat that
they furnish their own grease in frying,
equiring no lard at all. D. II. Man
gum, merchandise broker, has under
taken to handle these fish for the Hen
derson market and our grocers will
soon have a supply of them. They
cost no more than other fish of the
same character and considering their
excellent flavor and the saving of lard
in cooking are really better and cheaper
to the consumer. Mr.. Lewis will be
remembered as an old Granville county
boy. and as a seller of fine Nash county
tobacco in this market the past several
years is well known here. He is son
of DR.. Willis Lewis and brother of c.
