gun to raise large iiocks OF sheep. which
they find to be very profitable.
The fishing business has been for a
large number of years the most protltd-

of the best business men in the county
are engaged either in it or are in some
way connected With it. There are few
persons from other States who have set
tied here and are running fish factories.
and they are among the very best citi-
zens.
Last year was the most successful year
that has ever been known in Northum-
berland county in the guapo- making bust

PIE to invest money in the business
There will be three new factories built
this coming season, one on Indian Creek.
which will take twelve steamers to keep

another at New Point, in Mathews coun-

being taller than either, but with body

tho negro to go, but he stood at the
stove for about two minutes, surveying
the surroundings. Suddenly discovering
that the woman's servant girl was pres
ont with a little child, he went out, but
did not go to cut the wood.
A night or two after this occurrence
this same lady was attracted to the back
door by hearing footsteps on the sleet
near the wood pile, On opening the door
she discovered Taylor, who upon seeing
her, instead of leaving. went toward the
open door where the woman was stand-

door quickly, ran TO the front OF the

1t is understood that the Eixey bill.

rams to National Soldiers Homes will
also be pushed before the committee.
This bill has more backing than would

is 4 different matter. II it does live
through the committee and is reported
favorably back to the House, there will

q point OF sentiment the whole South Is
against it, and yet, among the consti-
tuents in the rural districts there are a
great many people who would be glad
to be helped out In the support of old
Confederates who. by reason OF reIa-
tionship, are dependent upon them.
OF course the bill would be defeated
by the Republicans in the end. but If
