Lightning Rods.

w. K. Carter & Sons having obtain
ed license to sell and erect lightning
| rods in this town and county, and with
sufficient experience and conveniences
are now prepared to do this kind oil
work at short notice. All work guar.
anteed to be done scientifically and
up to date. We furnish the very best
and latest improved galvanized steel
rods, with fine copper points and glass
insulators, which is very essential to
the safety of the building. We notice
number of rods put up around here
which has no insulators;we believe this
to he Il dreadful mistake, as glass is
positively non conductor oflightring
1t IS very necessary that we should
have good glass insulators On our
lightning rods.
Any person having a lightning rod
on their house, out of order, will do
well TO apply to us at once and have
the same put in order as the house is in
more danger than if it had none. Any
person wishing to have a new light
ming rod put up only notify US, we will

ANOTHER RAILROAD.

The citizens and business men
here are a unit in doing all
they can to get the new proposed
railroad from Suffolk, Va, to
Elizabeth City. They are fully
alive to the great benefit it will
be to this live, enterprising,
rapidly growing town. No eff
fort or reasonable inducements
On the part OF these people will
be spared to get the road. They
are communicating with rail-
road officials and as soon as sat-
isfactory information is secured
to guarantee the fact that the
road will be built then the Eliza
abeth City people will act at
once. We are told that, already,
options On property on River
Avenue, on which it is proposed
to locate the wharves and depot,
have been obtained and that the
present indications are that we
will have a direct line to the
West before a great while. The
section of country that this road
would traverse is very rich as to
agriculture, timber, etc, and it
IS well known that road from
Elizabet City to the West would
be a large developer of trade.
Hon. T. G. Skinner, who
seems to be greatly interested in
the construction of this road,
says it MUST COME.

The Dean In His Nixhtshirt,

once with him into Palmero. He com
planned of feeling cold, and az Stanley
had his travelling bag with him he ad-
vised him to put something extra on.
He did SO, and both resumed their pa
pers. A loud laugh from some boys
suddenly reused Pearson to the realiza-
ton that Stanley was driving through
the streets in his nightshirt, which he
had put on over his coat in pure alb

The nomination of Mr.. John
r. Mclean for the Co. ernorship
of Ohio has brought to light the
fact that he it was who suggest
ed the Winning Gubernatorial
candidate for the Dem ocrats OF
Ohio more than twenty years
ago, in the person of Hon. Viii
liam Allen. Mr.. Allen went
from Edenton, N. G to Ohio in
the early part OF this century,
and for many years was power
among the Democrats of that
State. He was we'll advanced
in years and had been in politi>
cal retirement for such a long
period that the younger genera-
tion did not know him when he
was brought forward to lead the
fight. During the campaign
that followed he was spoken of
rs "Old Bill Allen" but his age
did not interfere with his ability
to secure votes, as he won in the
election that followed and was
the first Democratic Governor
that Ohio had had for nearly
thirty years. The morning after
the election the Republicans
claimed the State by twenty
THOUSAND majority; the following
day they lowered their estimates
and when, after lapse of two
weeks. the official vote was cam
vassed. Allen was found to be
elected by between eight hun
dred and nine hundred majority.
II Mr.. Mclean should prove as
successful in conducting his own
campaign as he was in assisting
that Of "Old Bill Allen" he will
reach the Guberuatorial chair of
the Buckeye State.
