The FISHERMAN & FARMER
will soon issue a Trade Edition

pages, giving a historical and de
scriptivc review Of Edcnton and
the Albenarle section, showing
orr natural and manufacturing
advantages, transportation fac1ll-
ties. &c. which will also be IL

farms, the fishing industry,

property, the hotels and a bird, S
eve view of the town.
The purpose of this paper is to
bring to the attention Of the world
and especially to those who con-
template moving Southwark, an
outline of Edenton' resources
and the superiority of our adVan-
tapes for commercial and manu-
featuring town, and to thus at
tract population and capital here,
Heretofore too little attention has
been given to the necessity OF
such work. In fact, the voice OF
Edenton has been very teebly
heard, but the FISHERMAN &
FARMER is determined it shall
not be 50 any longer.
We want new manufacturing
enterprises i'll our midst; we want
more population; we want good
people to come and help with
their energy, their industry, and
with capital to build up the town
and to develope its many adVan-
tages.
There is now great movement
Southwark, and we must bring
Edentor to the front if we ex-
pect any increase i'll population
and material wealth. The day IS
past when town or city Will
grow without advertising, so we
are determined to bring Edenton
to the notice of those who are
seeking a home and a place OF IN
vestmcnt, and invite all good
people to come.
Our business men will soon be
called upon to advertise III this
Trade Edition and we hope to be
favored with the card Of every
business man in town.
