All carpenters here have all of the
engagements they can fill.
Pretty Xmas goods ere coming In
and in few weeks the stores will
glitter.
The advance in the potato market
for the past ten days has been cheer
ing to all of the people.
Frost was in much evidence on
Tuesday morning, the mercury hav
ing dropped to 270 above zero.
There was no service in Holy
Trinity Church on Sunday, the
rector being absent from the Shore
Capt. Thos johnson has erected
comfortable dwelling on one of his
up town lots. 1t will be occupied by
Capt. John Chandler.
While one of our truck farmers was
waiting day to market fifty to
seventy. five baskets of green peas,
the frost on Sunday night destroyed
them. We can not tell what a day
may bring forth.
There was a variety show in town
this week at the town hall. Two
funny" men. with painted faces and
queer dress, paraded the streets be-
fore the opening, one riding a mule
and the other playing green" on q
bicycle.
Rev. Carson Watson and Rev. j..
D Hank left on@Tuesday for the Vir
ginia Conference, which convened on
Wednesday at Petersburg Mrs.
Hank accompanied her husband to
Norfolk on a visit to DIR. Edward
Hank, their son.
Poultry and eggs are scarce here
The farmers should keep them NOV
ing, as to hold them might strike a
ruinous glut. Our merchants would
be glad to trade in them at the best
prices. Fat poultry are in demand
in the markets but the message
comes from the dealers, don't ship
their stock for the price is low F"
The produce exchange movement
is meeting with hearty success. TIE
plan is approved by the farmers
wherever we go and the opinion
by many of the important
farmers and merchants is that it is
the best movement ever instituted on
the Shore. The general manager is
travelling among the people and his
practical presentation of the subject
of marketing produce by personal
knowledge from many years of e1-
perience in the greatest market in
this country is well received and has
the influence 1t deserves.
The educational meeting to be
held here under the auspices OF the
County League, Mr.. 6. e. Joynes,

will convene in the town hall, Mo-
vember 10th. DR.. Southall, Supt.
