TO COLOMBO NEGROES.

The Knights Of Labor of the
United States are about to start
campaign, having for its object
the removal of the negroes from
the United States and their colon
ization in the Congo basin, Lii
IBERIA, or some other part of Afri-
ca. The first substantial step
looking in that direction was
taken in Memphis February "a,
when the trades council was call
ed to meet to make arrangements
to entertain Grand Master Work
man Sovereign, of the Knights of
Labor, who will make tour of
the South during March and
lecture in the principal cities
upon this subject. The under
taking is not a new one in the
ranks of the Knights of Labor for
that it happened SO that the
order in every State of the Union
has been polled on the question
and every State was found favor
able to the movement.
Grand Mastes Workman Soy
ereign is thoroughly imbued
with the spirit Of the undertaking
and for some time to come will
give it his unlimited attention.
His first stepin this direction will
be the contemplated lecturing
tour to the South when his soul
theme will be the deportation and
colonization of the negro. This
tour will begin early IN March
and last through the month. One
of the first points he will touch
is Memphis. He will take in
every important city in the South
including New Orleans, Atlanta,
Nashville, Birmingham, Chatta-
nooga. Montgomery and many
others.

The 1.-TWO Old Cronies" is a
farce-comedy in three acts, and
on this occasion was presented by
Mr.. Lawrence Wilson, of New
York, and twenty home talent.
The play had been we'll adver-
tised, and nearly every reserved
seat had been sold before the
doors were opened. III the after
noon the Edenton Cornet Band
paraded Broad street, and dis
cOursed some music for the bene-
fit of the people at large and i'll
order to remind them that the
play was given for the benefit of
the Band.
Promptly at 8:I5 o'clock the
curtain was raised and the per
Torrance commenced.
The first act represented the
parlOr at the residence of Prof.
Snyder and was opened by Miss
Luta Burton, as the professors
niece, with a song entitled 1.-THE
Little Maid" which was very
we'll rendered and appreciated by
the audience. The part of Mag

SENDU THE NEWS.

The FISHERMAN & FARMER would
like to have news from all parts of the
county, and we urge our readers to re-
port to us every item of interest. But,
remember, when writing for the press,
you should waste no time on introduce
tons. Don't begin laying out your
subject like Dutch flower garden, OF
telling your motives for writing. The
keynote, if possible, should be struck
in the very first sentence. A dull be-
ginning often damns an article; spicy
one whets the appetite and conlmends
what follows to both editor and reader.
Above all, stop when you are done.
Don't let the ghost of your thought
wander about after the death of the
body. Don't waste moments time
in indicating your production, against
editors or critics, but expend your en-,
ergies in writing something which
shall be its own vindication. And,
never fail to sign your name-not for
publication, but that the editor might
know who it is writing.

THANKS.

Mr.. EDITOR:-Permit me to
thank all those who attended the
performance of the 1.-TWO Old
Cronies" on Tuesday evening fer
their patronage. l do this, not on
behalf of the band in general, as
they will probably do SO in a diff
ferent manner than this, but as
the leader of that organization.
Ihave received so many com
pliments OH the improvement
manifested by the playing of the
band on Tuesday evening last,
that l deem it necessary in this
manner to express my appreCia-
ton for the same.
1t is now three months since |
first took hold Of the Edenton
Cornet Band and effected a reor-
ganization. During that time
l have experienced considerable
trouble in keeping them togeth-
er. This was mostly due to lack
of funds and good instruments.
No organization can prosper
without funds, and the perfor-
nance Of Tuesday night, will
start us going again with some
thing in the treasury to work on.
There is plenty of good material
in Edenton to make good-sized
band. We have on the roll
about eighteen nemtel@. and If
they only stand by me and i'll
plicitly follow my instruction
we will no doubt in three months
more time give the people OF
Edenton, what every town should
have, a good Brass Band
Hoping you will find space for
this letter, am
Very truly yours,
VIM. K. JONES.

when he espies her coming down
the street.
The character of Rose was
creditably performed by Miss
Maud Harrell, who looked
charming in a travelling suit OF
grey, satchel and all complete.
a lesson in flirting was given to
the audience by Charley, who,
while his hance was busy talking
to him, kept up continual and
amusing filtration over Roses
shoulder with Jessie, who was be-
hind the lunch counter.
No doubt the best and most
realistic scene was that OH board

sang Sailing" as the curtain was
lowered. This was loudly ap-
plauded, and encored.

HOSPITAL surgeons in New York say
that ninety-nine per cent. of the oper-
ations for cataract are now successful.
The other one per cent. would not be
unsuccessful but for the fact that
some patients come handicapped with
impurities of the blood that increase
the difficulties following the operation.
The removal of cataract has ceased to
be esteemed a very serious matter for
either patient or surgeon, and there
