ERMAN & FARMER, Elizabetl
City, N. c.
Among the exhibits at tn,
Edenton Fair we noticed a very
handsome collection of fancy
building material from the mil
OF Kramer Bros. & Co., of this
city.
DR.. F. H. Johnson, of the
Presbyterian church, went tc
Newberne this week to attend
the annual session of the Presby>
terrain Synod, which is being
held at that place.
Remember the big fair COM
mences next Tuesday. Monday
exhibitors can bring in their ex>
hlbits, and t e Secretary will re-
ceive them. We will have a
good fair ifyou will give it your
aid.
Having just added a new lot
of type, borders, ornaments, &C.,
for the proper and effective dis
play of advertisements, this Of
fee is better equipped than ever
to do your work. Give lis
trial.
Quite large number of ladies
and gentlemen have consented to
place in the exhibition building
at the fair next week various at
tractive articles. Let everybody
bring something of merit to help
the cause.
Mr.. Louis Selig, our popular
jeWeler, is making a most excel
lent display of holiday goods,
which he is daily receiving. He
knows the wants of the people
and never fails to please them.
See change in his ad.
The managers of the Elizabeth |
City Fair ale doing all they can
to make it a success and they |
will do so if they receive any~
thing like a proper appreciation
of their efforts. If they fail it
will be the fault of the people.
The Naval Reserves new uni
forms having arrived the COM
pany gave a dress drill at the
armory Monday night which
was witnessed by a large crowd ,
of people. 1t is now a we'll drill
Ell company and should be much
encouraged.
Next week is the joyous an
nual event and everybody will be
here. In fact, the Fair will be
an immense gathering of people.
Everybody will go in for fun
and enjoyment, and, for a real
lively, jolly, good time, you will
find it next week at the fair.
Now that it is definitely settled
that the distinguished citizen of
Canton, Ohio, will occupy the
White House for the next four
years, the question is being fre>
quently asked, "Who will be our
next postmaster" Many have
already been mentioned. Time
will tell.
November 22nd having been
set aside as "Universal Tens
perance Sunday" all effort is be-
ing made by the temperance
workers in this city to have in
teresting services held at the
different churches here on that
day. The programme will be
later. :
The Supreme court has affirm>
ed the decision of the Superior

mer and others against J. Y. Old

violation of the contract existing
between them for the defendants
to use their time, name or infu-
ence in competition with the

At a meeting of the Baptist
Young Peoples Union OF the
State, held at MOI canton, N. c., Is
on the 18th, DR.. c. S. Blackwell /
of this place, was elected Presi
dent. We notice also that Rev.

1t pays to spend your ash at a Cash
Store and not pay other peoples bad
debts. The Fair" is a strictly cash
store.
The Elizabeth City Fire De>
partment will give an oyster
supper on Thursday night Of ,
Fair week, Nov. 10th, for the
purpose Of raising funds with ,

liberal patronage.
For the benefit of the young
men we would say, if You want
