EVERYBODY SHOULD ATTEND

AS some people may have a
wrong conception Of what the
Edenton Fair is, we wish it to
be known that it is an instltu-
ton belonging to the people
not simply the people of Chowan
county, but of the entire Albe-
marie section. Whatever good
there is in it, or whatever good
comes from It, will be for them,
and not for it's officers or man
ayers, who are merely the peo-
pies agents in transactlng the
business. Everybody is invited
to furnish every available article
that can serve to make the fair
attractive and interesting, and to
attend and see how near our ideal
of perfection has been reached.
To stay away from the fair or
not to aid in making it big and
grand, hurts only the people and
their cause, for the greater the
SUCCESS of the exhibition, the
greater the benefit to the people

EXIT THE STRAW HAT.


And must thou go, my summer hat
I fain would keep thee still,
Did not have misgivings that
You would not fill the bill.
Although the one paid for you
Three do11ars--well, twas steep,
For now your fellows, placed on view
At ninety cents, are cheap.
But still we had some fun, think,
When you were clean and new,
If at girl tipped wink,
always tipped you, too.
Best friend of mine in many ways,
You've often advertised me;
Though, from your most abnormal traits
You've also compromised me.
They've called you in-your day IS DONE
Go, take well-earned rest;
For, now the Summer seasons gone,
l like my derby best.

North Carolina, according to
reports, has an excellent exhibit
of her resources at the Atlanta
Exposition, but her display
would have been much more ex-
tensive had not the last Legisla-
ture refused to make an appro-
priation for a State exhibit. The
reason of such refusal, it is now
said, was due to the fact that the
Fusionists were angered because
the North Carolinians residing
in Georgia adopted resolutions
expressing their indignation at
the action of the Fusion Legisla
ture in adopting the FRED
DOUGLASS resolutions. AS the
object of making displays at At
lanta is for the purpose of adj
vertising the industries and re-
sources of the State, it occurs to
us that the North Carolina Flu
sionists acted like the fellow who

Considerable damage resulted from a fire

1t was necessary for Policeman Kelly to tele-
phone to the eighth precinct station. By the
time the engines arrived the flames had
made great headway, and the barn. which
was filled with hay. was almost entirely de-
stroyed. Efforts We're made to save the ad-
joining structures, but despite the endeavors
of the firemen. the houses of Mrs. keefe and

The Speed of Cruising Vessels.

Naval officers generally deplore the recent
publications in regard to the actual speed of
our new warships on recent cruises, and un-
fairly contrasting such performances with
the speed attained by the vessels on their
official trials. According to Rear Admiral
Belknap, retired. the published statements
in regard to the different vessels are unfair
end decidedly misleading. THE speeds
given in Admiral Ramsay's report" he ex-
planned, ''are not maximum speeds by any
means. but merely average cruising speeds
for the year under half power-under half
peared 1t is entirely deceptive and creates a
very wrong impression. The speeds on the
official trials were under full power, instead
of half, which is customarily used in cruis-

The story of the capture and life among
the Indians of this pioneer and his subse-
Quent visit to England; where he published

ZEE SINGS HOPELESS LOVE.
He WOOed by WrinEinE His Hand
Under Mary's Window.

He WOOed by WrinEtng HIS Hands
Under Mary's Window.
From the Boston Journal.
Yee Lun Sing, laundryman at 81 Revere
street. was before Judge Ely in the munich
pal court Thursday as an insane person.
He was committed to the care of the board
of lunacy to be examined.
Yee was in love with Mary Gallagher, an
eighteen-year-old girl, who lived opposite
his laundry. Yee first saw her when she
carried bundles of linen into his place. He
fell in love with her at once and for the
last three months he has been trying to
get Mary to marry him. Mary has refused.
One day couple of months ago Mary was
walking along Revere street and Yee saw
her through his laundry window. Dropping
his iron, he ran quickly across the street,
and, stopping in front of her, exclaimed:
want you mally me; want you mally
me-"
Mary screamed and ran into the house,
but Yee hung around the door for an hour
or more, waiting for her to reappear. She
didn't come, and Yee rang the door bell.
When this didn't bring Mary out Yee wrote
notes in the most villainous hand imagin-
able, expressing his deep love for Mary.
and tucked them carefully under the front
door. Mary's father found the notes and
ruthlessly destroyed them, with a muttered
denunciation of Yee.
Whenever Mary appeared at the window
Yee, who was constantly on the watch for
her, would run out, throw kisses to her or
implore her to come out to him. When she
would disappear without doing his bidding
Yee would wiring his hands in despair and
write another note to Mary which no one
could read. Finally he became SO much OF
a nuisance ringing the door bell and loiter-
ing about in front of the house that the
neighbors complained, and Yee was ar
rested. He paid fine of $40 and promised
to let Mary alone.
Two or three days later Yee walked into
station ) and said to Capt. WeScott:
Il want wallent.
"a what?" asked the captain.
Il want a wallent, you know.
1t took some thinking on Capt. Wescotts
part before he came to the conclusion that
warrant. Well, what's the charger" asked
my gal won't mally me. 1 want wal
lent" said Yee excitedly.
"You can't get warrant against a girl
for that. It's no crime to refuse to marry
you Go home" said the captain.
Yee looked disappointed and went away.
He wasn't seen for couple of days; then
some of the station 3 officers found Yee up
in the new court house. He was bothering
the life out of the court officers, to whom
he explained that he wanted a 'wallent
for his girl, who had refused to marry him.
The court officers got tired of explaining
to him that he couldn't get warrant on
that complaint.
Wednesday Yee walked into station 3.
Capt. Wescott was at the desk. Yee was
very much excited, and began to demand a
warrant for Mary, who, he said, had prom
ised TO marry him and then gone back on
her promise. The captain called an officer
and had Yee locked up on a charge of be-
ing insane. DR.. c. o. Thompson gave him
a certificate, and Yee was sent to the city
prison.
