store in the Dixon block, on

known in the trade here and
will dc ubtless make his place a

In a recent issue of a Norfolk
paper, we see a list Of vessels
liable to duty in case of war
to compose the "mosquito feet -
among the list we ind all of the
Albemarle steam flats, now used
for carrying out seine at our
fisheries. Well promise, after
an engagement between the
steam flats and the "Viszcaya,"
the pride of Spain will be hum
bled to the dust. AS a monitor
they would be a bowling sue
cess. ~
The Edenton telephone COM
pany will soon begin erecting
poles and installing the phones.
This company is owned entirely
by Edenton people and should
be literally patronized, the
phones being absolutely neces
sary for the transaction of busi>
ness. The day when we could
stroll three or four blocks to ar
range a matter of business, is
past. Time is Of more value
now, and the telephone is the
logical outcome of such neces>
sity.
WAR WITH SPAIN or other
powers, wonld cause trouble for
some one. A sewing machine
out of repair also causes trouble
for the busy seamstress. l can
not vert war, but l can repair
your sewing machine, (no mat
ter how badly out of repair it
may beg, and put it in 6rst>class
condition. My charges will be
low and my work guaranteed.
Orders left at l.. F. Ziegler's
furniture store will have my
prompt attention. Give me a
trial. Respectfully,
S. K. LYMAN.
Our farmers are exhibiting
but little uneasiness over the
prevailing war scaIe. They are
busy with their spring work,
and paying but little attention
to the wild and rambling talk
OF the "Jingoes )" condition
aptly described by Frank l..
Stanton, of the Atlanta Consti-
tuition, who says:
The war songs they air chantin'-
They'll give old Spain rap
But I'm buying seed fer plantin',
An I'm goin' to make crap,
The boys air all recruitin',
But-spring is in the skies,
An while they do the shootin
I'll raise the home supplies.
They II never ketch ME noddin'
When | ain splittin rails,
The country'l want gun-wa ddin':
