Close of Oyster Packing
Establishments.

Messrs, Bell & Co.. and Boyle
& Co., our two large oyster pack
ing establishments, closed down
business last week and the force
of operators returned to their
homes.
We understand that both
houses have done a very salts
factory business.
We rejoice to know this from
a business standpoint, as we'll as
the personal interest we feel in
the success of the individuals.
There is no better point for
the operation OF such plants and
we hope to see them increased
in mum Der when the season OPP
ems again.
The opening Of a western out
lei, as suggested in another ar
tlcle in this issue, would put the
packing business in touch with
the outside world and place the
output in market as fast as pre-
pared.
To prospectors for business
opportunities we give an invita-
ton to investigate the wonder
full possibilities of this section.

AN IMPORTANT MATTER

ton, must have additional facili-
ties tor placing the wonderful
products of land and sea which
naturally come here for an out
let.
We have recently been gather
ing data upon which to base
proper efforts to secure more
direct communication with the
Western counties of our own
State as we'll as the Western
markets generally.
A RAILROAD from this city Via
Gatesville to Weldon, N. T.,
would open new world almost
to our fishermen, who are pIaCt>
ically shut out of competition IN
the direction of the North early
in the season, by the fisheries
nearer their markets.
AS suggested, this road would
not be over 80 miles in length.
1t would pass through fine
section of country and open up
a section which needs, and
would amply sustain the enter
prise.
We doubt if there is to be
found, anywhere, an opportunity
for investment paying better res
turns than the building of this
road
To reach the outside world we
must 60 to Norfolk. Va, before
we can start from home. There
can be no sort of excuse for such
condition of affairs. The great
fishing interest of this section IS
actually handicapped by lack Of
facilities for placing the catch
on the market. Shipment can
only be made in one direction,
and the "season is cut so short,
the wonder is that those engaged
in the arduous work do not ex~
change it for something else
which brings better pay and
longer employment. Elizabeth
City must build this road, and if
it is built for Elizabeth City its
manifold blessings will fall up
on the thousands of people who
give life and support to all the
bushes interests of our city.
We know that this suggestion
is new. and its novelty will lead
some to doubt the feasibility.
We no not know the difficult
ties, but they are, at least, not
insuperable. and the benefits
will repay, thousand fold, the
outlay and trouble.
The amount of business done
here will reach its limit ere
long, unless our people reach
out and in the hour of prosper
ity make provision to maintain
the great enterprise upon which
our prosperity really exists
The fishing interest must be
tostered and protected, and our
city instead of being a point
where the products of the sea
merely pass through must be-
come the distributing points,
North, South, East and West.
The columns of the FISHER
MAN & FARMER are open to the
discussion of this and all other
matters pertaining to the welfare
of our section and we would be
