Distinguished Visitors.

On Tuesday, Elizabeth City
was honored with the visit OF
Gov. Carr and a party of distin-
guished Carolinians, who reached
here in the morning OH the
steamer Neuse from Newborn
and spent several hours III the
city. In the party were Governor
Carr and Mrs. Carr aud two
daughters and son, Elias, Jr., DR..
and Mrs. V. Y. Turner, DR.. and
Mrs. James Mckee, Major G. w.
Wilson, Mrs. Thomas S. Kenan,
DR.. r. II. Lewis and DR.. A. B.
Hawkins. Their coming was
unannounced and they were here
before hardly anybody in town
knew of their presence. The
party was met at the depot by
Mr.. NJ. K. King, the genial Gen>
eral Manager Of the Norfolk &
Southern railroad, who had pro
vided carriages, and were driven
to the principal points Of inter
est in the city, after which an
informal reception was held in a
private car at the depot in which
the party embarked later Oh for
Edenton. At Edenton Mr.. King
had i'll readiness the Company
steamer Haven Bell, OH which
they were taken to visit the large
sound fisheries, for which this
section of the Governors State is
noted. The Editor of the FISH
ERMAN & FARMER, whose &C
quaintance with Gov. Carr has
been of long standing. was es-
pecially honored with pleasant
interview, during which affairs
of state, as we'll as personal, were
discussed. We always gladly
welcome visitors, and especially
such distinguished ones as were
here on Tuesday. We regret
very much we had not been in
formed, so that reception due
the Governor could have been
given.

The Home Merchant.

The home merchant is entitled

or the merchant of some distant
city. He spends his money here.
He builds a home which en-

He helpes pay for the church in
which you worship, and the
school to which you send your
children. He cannot afford to
misrcprcscnt his gools or SWIM

slider Mr.. Cleveland eligible for

much confidence in him to think
that he desires that which the

either.

The Popullst State Chairman,
Senator Marion Butler, issued
last week a letter announcing
that there can be no fusion with
the Republicans on the electoral
ticket, and none On the State
ticket, unless the Republicans
c)ncede to the Poputists the
nomination of Governor and one
member of the Legislature in
each county.
The letter has caused the great
est political sensation of the
year, and has thoroughly upset
the Republicans and given 'em
quite a setback as to their cal
culations for the coming cam
paign.
Republican State Chairman
Holton is reported as saying that
it forces the Republicans to
nominate a straight ticket, and
that they will not submit to this
evident purpose of Butler to
break up their party organiza
ton. He asserts positively that
nearly half of the Populists i'll
North Carolina will vote the

Progres

There is an age OF progress, ar
age in which there is no room
for Incidence or laziness. The
man who does not bring out al
his moral forces OF talent power:
TO the front, IS no y generally LET
behind. This is not a thing thai
is confined to any one occupation
Or profession, but TO every ami
mated enterprise Of worth among
men. Perhaps, the reality O.
this has not vet been duly con
sidered by all, especially the
young who would make thel1
mark in life. Men do not act
live nor move now in the social
domestic nor commercial life as
in the DAYS of wore. Some reason
of course, may be allowed fo1
the former generations. Their
advantages and facilities for a
rapid movement was no conpar-
ison with the present. The
young man now has the best OF
advantages and multiplied op
portuuit;es to fully qualify him>
self for any honorable position
or occupation i'll life. Surely, it
cannot be otherwise, when VT:
consider the favorable access the
young have to our schools and
colleges; TO Say nothing Of expe-
ricnce which may be taught
them by home influences. Let
our young men who will soon
move on with the rapid progress
of time, and who shall control all
the improved business affairs OF
this nation, begin now to keep
pace with progress by qualifying
themselves to manage every hon
orable position in life. The
young who fail to use present
opportunities, and to prepare
themselves for coming e1nergen<
cics will find themselves left far
behind while others are gather
ing the golden laurels of life.
We can scarcely realize in our
minds, or comprehend the rapid
progress made here III Our own
country during the past thirty or
forty years. and yet il is fact,
showing itself in the most vivid
light. Think of the progress
made in teaching and training
tie fine intellects in man, the
grand inventions, the improve
nents made IN all departments
of agriculture, i'll science and
arts, Rapid and astonishing I'M
provements have been made III
all the leading business affairs of
life. Many old chronic diseases
are now treated by new process
and cured, which were unknown
some years ago to the best skill
ed physicians.
There are many other new
features too numerous to NEIL
ton here, all Of which go to
show that we live i'll all az wor-
thy Of our highest esteem and
appropriate qualifications.
Can We, and will the rising
generation prepare themselves to
meet the coming responsibilities?
A good education, good morals,
and a christian life, are to be
found among the qualifications
necessary to prepare men and
women to be useful in life. Sc
cur these and success is yours.

Spring may be th= means of keeping

Why Kissing is Pleasant.

The reason kissing is SO pleas

rent is generated, and you don t
have to. have dynamo machine
nor a battery in the house, nor a
call box, nor a button to touch
to ring up his central office. and
there is no patent on it, and the
poorest person in the world can
enjoy the electric current better
than the millionaire, and it never
gets out of order. If Edison had
invented kissing it would cost
500 year, like the telephone,
and then extra kissing would be
charged up extra. and if you
didn't pay for it they would take
out Your kissaphone and discon-
meet you from the central office.
Since a majority of the voters
Of Elizabeth City have given our
Republican friends the right
to bond the city for $4,000 for
the purpose of digging out Tiber
and Poindexter creeks, and since
the work begun last Decem Der
is not now half finished, and can
not now be finished before the
hot weather sets in, it seems to
us that some move ought to be
made by our city fathers to pre-
vent what may possibly be a
nlalar1al epidemic here this sum-
mer. If allowed, the FISHERMAN
& FARMER would suggest that
a liberal supply Of lime be used
Oil this death dealing mud and

liberal precaution is taken and

A Venetian City in Florida.

Frank Hamilton Gushing, an expert
attached to the Bureau of Ethnology,
has arrived in Washington from the
wilds Of Florida. He brings news of
an extraordinary discovery-nothing
less, in fact, than the finding of a
prehistoric Venice on the fowery
peninsula. In the course OF archaeo-
logical researches he has come upon
the remains of an aboriginal city
build upon stills, which hourished be-
fore Columbus landed. OF a certain
ty the town and the people who in
habited it had passed away before the
first coming of the whites. This
strange city was situated not far to
the south OF Tampa on the west coast.
Its streets, like those Of Venice. in
Europe, were canals. The houses
were situated upon ground that was
made to great extent of the earth
dug out in the construction of the
canals. They were made secure by
supports of wooden piles. On the,
piles were built platforms. which
supported huts that were probably of
much the's same pattern as the print.
tive log houses Of the West. This
city of prehistoric Florida was up
lifted ont of swamp. In its days, as
at present, the greater part Of the
Aowery peninsula was more or less
under water. The people, who seem
to have possessed comparatively
high civilization, sought this locality
as a place of residence because of the
abundance of food in the neighbor-
hood. They planted logs perpen-
dicularly to sustain their houses,
throwing up the earth around them.
In no other fashion could they have
set the piles securely without the aid
of piledriver.
1t will be seen that the digging of
the canals served double purpose.
It created waterways for streets, and
at the same time made dry land to live
on. The level of the latter was
raised further by accumulation of the
shells of oysters and other mollusks.
on which the residents fed. The beds
of shells left behind are from twenty
to thirty feet thick. Embedded in
them are found great numbers of OBJ
jects, such as pottery, implements Of
wood, etc.
