E. City's Cotton Factory.

The one hundred thousand
dollar cotton factory to be built
at E. City is now a certainty.
From the demonstration the
following is taken:
"And now our business men of
all classes with an unani1nity
thathas been truly commendable,
with a push and stick that chal-
lenge admiration, and with lib
erality that makes us prouder Of
our adopted nome, have put their
shoulders to the wheel Of our
destiny. On Monday night they
rivited the iron bands in the last
link of a cotton factory with a
capital of one hundred thousand
dollars, every cent of which
comes from dear old Betsy and
the adjacent towns of Hartford,
Edenton, and the adjacent coun-
ties, the larger bulk of it coming
from the businass men Of this
town. Hail good men and pa
triots, hail public-spirited citi-
zens, hail progressive men, hail
D>tsy'e ..ob1e como, hail member
of the "Business Mems Club"
hail DR.. Mcmillan, hail Charles
Robinson, hail Jeroma Flora,
hail Bradford and Aydlett, and

and Sharbu, and little Bob
MITCHELL" late of Edenton, now
our Bob, who took up the trail
ing banner of the factory when
i'll despair. and by his own vol

full end; hail George Ward, ready
man of all work, hail Tom SKIN
ner, of Hartford, who knows a
good thing when he sees it; hail

her favorite son hail patriots and
benefactors all. This town owes
you all a debt of gratitude that it

HOME FIRST.

Let home stand first before all
other things. No matter how
high your ambition may trans
cend its duties, no matter how
far your talents or your influence
may reach beyond its doors, be-
tore everything else build up a
true home. Be not its slave; be
its minister. Let it not be enough
that it is swept and garnished,
that its silver is brilliant, that its
food is delicious, but feed the love
in it, feed the truth in it, feed
thought and aspiration, feed all
charity and gentleness in it.
Then from its walls shall come
forth the true woman and the
true man, who shall together
rule and bless the land.
Is this an overweight picture!
We think not. What honor can
be greater than to found such
home? What dignity higher than
to reign its undisputed honored
mistress? What is the ability to
speak from a public platform to
lagre, intelligent audiences, or
the wisdom that may command
a seat on the judges bench, COM
pared to that which can insure
and preside over a true home,
that husband and children "rise
and call her blessed" TO be the
guiding star, the ruling spirit in
such a position is higher honor
than to rule an ernpire-Mrs.
Beecker.

MACS HEAD.
THE EDITOR SPENDS SUNDAY AT
THIS DELIGHTFUL. RESORT.

The old cry, "Ho! for Mays
Head" though often used, Will
never wear out, or, fall into dis
use. Many have voiced it in the
past, many will voice it in the
future as now; with one accord
every lover of pleasure and seek
er of health is heard to join the
acclaim. There is no finer and
more healthful place On the
whole Eastern Coast than this
old favorite resort, and we would
advise all those who can to visit
Mays Head this season. There
is no place better for those who
would spend day or two from
the cares and duties of every day
life, AID while away a few hours
by the seaside, where they could
view the grandeur, the majesty
and the power of the old Atlantic
as her waters dash upon the
shore, to the deep anthem Of the
unceasing roar of the breakers.
The Editor of the FISHERMAN
& FARMER had the pleasure to
spend Sunday last atthis delight
full resort-that is so popular
with our people. The weather
was exceedingly fine and our trip
was indeed most pleasant. The
proprietors of the hotel, Messrs.
Baxter & Grice, with whom we
stopped, did everything in their
power to make it so, and we
shall ever remember their hospi-
talities. They are men who full
ly understand their business, &C
comnodating and anxious to
make those around them cons
Portable The tables are we'll
supplied with large variety of
we'll cooked and nicely prepared
eatables, and those who visit the
hotel this season can rest assured
of royal good time and food in
abundance They have prices to
suit nearly everybody who wish
to summer there, and we most
sincerely wish everyone of our
people could spare the time to
visit Mays Head and spend even
a while, if not the season. 1t
would not only add greatly to
their health and longevity, but
the pleasures to be enjoyed at
this splendid resort are unsur-
passed.

1t will be remembered that af-
ter the last election the Republic
cans declared the Populists did
not cast over 10000 votes in this
State. The Populists have had
little to say about this, but at
last they speak and say Senator
Butler has election returns which
show they cast no less than Co.,
900 votes. This is their first
statement, but their second one
is stronger still. They say their
party has more white voters than
either the Democrats or the Re-
publicans.

TO PAY US A VISIT:

TEMPTED TO PAY US A VISIT:
PHILADELPHIA, 2, 1895.
DEAR SIR:-In compliance
with your request OH the cover of
you Trade Edition for June, l
acknowledge the receipt of a
copy.
l have read it with much in
terest, heightened by the fact
that i'll my childhood l resided
for sometime in your town; and
the receipt of your paper seems
like voice from the misty past.
My father removed with his
family from this city to Edenton
in 1917, He was a halter, and
proposed establishing his bust
ness there. But, late in 1919, he
concluded To return to this city,
AS he owned two schooners, it
was an easy matter to load his
household goods, the implements
of his trade, and some other ma
terial On board the vessels; and
we started, late in December
On Christmas day, 1919, a terri
bic storm ragged along the South
ern coast. and reached us in the
neighborhood of Old Point Com
fort. Our schooner, the "Louisa,"
struck on the bar 81 times, and
on her 81 trial got over, and was
soon i'll safety; while the other
vessel foundered in sight of us,
and all hands persisted.
While we lived in Edenton
my eldest sister, Susan, died and
was buried in St. Paul's ?. E.
Church yard. My father sent to
this city tor a tombstone, on
which these lines were cut:
Here, far from home the stranger
sleeps
But 2lceps to rise once more"
l have always had a kindly
feeling for Edenton, though l do
not remember much, if anything
about it. | have sometimes a
vogue recollection of having
been lost among some cfinqua~
plE bushes; but I am not sure
did not learn it from the CONVEX
sation of my elders.
Although I am eighty years of
age, | think may be tempted by
your description to pay visit,
sometime before the end of the
year, to your thriving and beau
tiful city
