One who knows whereof he alleges,
says that advertising is to business
what an engine is to train of cars. 1t
carries it along and makes things hum.
Mabel Paige, the bright, beautiful
and bewitching little actress, vocalist
and dancer. will entertain our people
every night next week at Rea's Opera
House. Go and enjoy yourself.
The partridge shooting season began
last Wednesday. Some Of the sport
men say there are many cartridges this
season, despite the extreme weather of
last winter, which it was feared had to
a great degree exterminated them.
The boy born with a silver spoon in
his mouth frequently has to taste pewter
before his pilgrimage is over; aud he
may have the pleasure fleeing splashed
with mud from the carriagc-wheels of
the man who was once his fathers
porter.
| An exchange very truly says that the
town that sits down on its hind legs and
waits for some one to come along and
drop an occasional big fat worm to its
lazy open mouth will get left every
time. Fat worms are scarce and the
| proper way is to get out and hustle for
them; nothing like it.
Our farmers and merchants may con-
! fdentiaIly hope for better times soon.
Harvesting of the crops will place
money in circulation, and that is what
is needed at all times to make ali class
es prosper. We hope the price of cot
ton and peanuts will be larger than was
anticipated some time ago.
For the benefit of the young men of
the country we would say, if you want
to see the pretticst. the sweetest, the
loveliest, and the most bewitChing girls
in existence, come to our Fair next
week. You can como nearer CrOwding
ten dollars worth of solid pleasure into
fifty cent ticket here than at almost
any other place we know of.
We have waited patiently with many
who had small amounts due us until
the fall season, when they could have a
better opportunity of handing in, or
sending, their amounts. The fall has
now come, and it seems to us that every
man ought to have gotten hold of
enough money to pay his subscription.
Now friends do your best for us.
Don't wait to see us, but send it on. We
have been patient with good many.
Next week is the joyous annual event
and everybody will be here. For the
past five years the I>dcnton Agriculture
al and Fish Fair has successfully
breasted the paniCs of time which has
wiped out of existence so many county
fairs, and to-day it stands pre-eminent
as the most successful fair IN this sec
ton. This year will prove no exCep-
ton and the crowd each day will be
larger than ever.
Don't grOan over dull times nor feel
disCOnsOlate about the future. Keep a |
cheerful COuntenanCc, speak cnCOurag
ingly to your neighbors, and pay your
debts as fast as you can. TO lock up
money and refuse to pay bills when due
is, to use mild expression, a very fool
ish proceeding, and tends more than
anything else to keep up the general
distrust, which is one of he great
causes of the present business stagna-
ton. Let everyone pay his debts as
fast as he can, that is the only way to
make money circulate and business re-
vive
Those who failed to see the Worlds
Fair should, by al means, attend the
Edenton fair next week. 1t will be an
immense gathering of the people.
Friends will meet friends. Old &C
quaintances will be renewed and new
ones formed. For real lively, jolly, !
rolliCking, lovely time, give us the Ed
enton fair Here everyone goes III for
fun aud enjoyment. ParlOr dignity is
thrown to the winds, and the society !
belle seated upon dry goods box cat
ing peanuts is as happy as a wood-peck-
er i'll q cherry tree.
How pleasant it is to have one friend |
to whom we can go and unbOsom our
feelings when the world is harsh with |
us, and darkness has settled on the fair |
face of nature. At such a time heart
to advise aud council with us-that will
manifest feeling and sympathy-is
above a price. The outgushing of love
and tenderness revive and cheer US
drive away sadness from the bosom,
and brighten the heavens again. He
who has one to whom he can go in the
hour of adversely, can never be wholly
cast down; dark as it may sometimes
be, will always be 4 bright spot, beau
tiful, it will grow brighter and brighter,
! Till the stricken desolate heart partakes
of the ful1ness of JOY and is cast down
| no more forever.
