LOCAL HARBOR ATTRACTS
VISITORS FROM INTERIOR
Many From Middle West Gaze With
Interest Upon Vessels Lying
in Docks.

To many veterans and other visitors
from the middle west, where deep
water rivers are unknown, the local
harbor has been great attraction and
since the beginning Of the reunion has
been daily visited by numbers who
have gazed with Interest upon the YES
sells lying in the docks. At this time
there are in port here one seagoing
four-masted and one three-masted
schooner, three North Carolina lumber
traders. which are rather big craft,
and several small river schooners. Few
of the visitors have attempted to go
aboard any of the vessels, but they can
be assured that the masters Of them
will be glad to have them come aboard
at any time.
The local oyster wharf has also proved
something of an attraction to the visit
ors. who want to see an oyster in its
shell. Yesterday one visitor to local
oyster shocking house was shown an
oyster picked up from a barrel standing
nearby, and he seemed rather surprised
at the hard shell, and explained that all
the oysters he had seen came in cans
and were soft. When the oyster was
opened he said it did look something
in shape like those to which he was &C
customed, but in color and taste 1t was
something entirely different. Crabs also
attract attention from the visitors, many
of whom had never before seen one
alive.
