Sweet Potatoes.

Among the very first shipments
of sweet potatoes of the season from
this section were made yesterday
from several points in the lower
sounds country. The steamer Mar
tina E. Dickerman arrived in port
last night bringing thirty eight bar
rels from Currituck. These were
practically the fore-runners of the
season and the shipments will be con-
tinued regularly hereafter until the
large crops in the mentioned section
have been exhausted.
This article of food is now COM
manding fancy prices in the northern
markets, where they are being rush
ed, bringing today six dollars per
barrel. These prices are causing
much activity among the farmers
who are making haste to dig them
and the hope strongly prevails that
large per cent of the losses sus-
tanned on the Irish potato crop will
be regained and that still the sweet
potatoes will yield their annual
profit.
A few of them have found their
way to the markets of this city and
they are certainly bringing fancy
prices.-Elizabeth City Economist,

How Tools Show the Country s Progress
advertisements

This country of ours is the land
of progress and improvement-the,
land of hustle and go-the grand
country where all men are STRIVING
to do their particular work better
than it was ever done before.
Modern improvements are taking
the place of old-time makeshlfts.
Many wonderful machines make
work easier than it used to be in the
days of old. Countless little conve-
niences have been invented for light
ening labor and easing work. ALI
these inventions and improvements
are the result of that constant str1v-
ing-so characteristic of the Ameri-
can people-to do things better than
they were ever done before.
As an instance of this vast I'M
provement over the old order of
things, take the case of tools. In
the days of our grandfathers, if a
man wanted an axe he hitched up his
horse, drove to the store, looked over
the stock of axes and tried to pick
out a good one. Maybe he got an
axe that would cut-more likely he

Same way with a saw, chlsel; an
adze, a plane, or any other edged
tool. Thirty-six years ago, however,
this country began to produce the
best tools made. At that time the
Simmons Hardware Company began
to put out their famous line of
''Keen Kutter" tools under the trade
mark and motto. "The Recollection
of Quality Remains Long After the
Price is Forgotten"
Year by year. countless improve
ments in this line have been made
until to-day it is possible to go to
any store for any tool you want and
be sure you are getting tool made
of the most perfectly tempered steel,
by expert toolmakers, by simply ask
