AFTERMATH.

Now that the Fair of 81 is q
thing of the past, we feel that il
is not self-glowing to claim a
share of the credit for the FISH.
ERMAN & FARMER. Had the
weather not been so Indictment
this would have been a much
greater exhibition than it was;
though, Notwithstanding the rain
the attendance was large, than
ever before. All the merchants
testify to large increase of bus.
mess; industrial, mechanical
and agricultural arts were slim.
ulated f; while education had q
glorious revival.
In 1896 the, FISHERMAN &
FARMER bore the sulokt burden
of advertising the Fair and
what is more, pledged itself to
its, support financially. This
year we worked faithfully tor
one end a: to have the greatest
Fair in the history, of Pasquo-
tank county. How we'll we
succeeded, We leave it for orr
readeas to Judge.
A few weeks ago the editor
was taken with a very severe
cold that caused him to be in a
most miserable condition. 1t was
undoubtedly a bad case of la
grippe and recognizing 1t as
dangerous he took immediate
steps to bring about a speedy
cure. From the advertisement
OF Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and the many good recommend.
atone included therein. we con.
cluded to make a first trial of
the medicine. To say that it was
satisfactory in its results, is put
ting it very mildly, indeed. II
acted like magic and the resuls
was speedy, and permanent
cure. We have no hesitaney, in
recommending this. excellent
Cough Remedy to anyone aflict.
ed with a cough or cold in any.

Z, Up to the hour of going te
press we learn of no shipwreck
f on our coast. though the velocity
of the wind during the past few
days has been great. We SIM
cercly hope no casualties oc
Cured, but that every vessel
sought and obtained harbor be-
fore it struck this section.
We regret to learn that many
of our expected visitors to the
Fair from the lower sounds were
intercepted by the storm on
| Wednesday and had to return
home without attending the
Fair We hea- of large number
who had embarked for this
place. but were prevented by
the storm. Try again next
year and we will give you a
double dose of pleasure.
The music at the Fair was
furnished by the Albemarle Fire
Company's Brass Band. The
band was ont in full force -23
pieces, SO highly polished that
when Old Sol peeped out from
behind the clouds in resplend-
ant beauty their brilliancy SO in
creased that they almost daz>
zled the eyes of spectators. Our
friend. A. K. Kramer, the direc-
tor, was in his glory. The
magnificent music rendered by
the band, received the highest
encomiums, not only from the
Fair Managers but the inn
mense crowd present also joined
i'll praises of our local band.
They gave us plenty of music
each day and each member &C
quilted himself credita bly,. Prof,
Davis should feel proud of the
boys under his leadership; not
only him, but eur entire popu
lation. A good. band Is a credit
to any community.
The Fair managers have
much to be proud of. The
Fair was a complete success.
Providence smiled OH them ;
days out OF q which brought
large numbers to the Fair. Then
they had the hearty CO operas
ton of our business men and
the sympathies of the entire
community, which enabled us
to put forth untiring efforts to
produce a fair worthy of the
First Congressional District.
The ladies particularly exerted
themselves in behalf of the EN-
terprise that assured large pro-
portions by their assistance.
The merchants contributed ,
largely to the special premium
list and to bridal presents and
suspended business Oh the last S
day to take all outing for them
selves and employees. To all
we teel very much indebted in
prompting the general welfare
aud interest OF our progressive
city, and hope they will reap {
reward that they are Justly en-
titled to tor their liberality and ,
patronage.
