NOT MANY FOLKS EATING
THANKSGIVING TURKEY
City Market House Looked Like A
Famine i'm Russia oil Eve OF Festi-
val of The Flesh Pots.

What did Elizabeth City folk eat
for Thanksgiving dinner! That is
question excited by the scarcity or
Thanksgiving turkeys, fancy cuts
of meats and other provision OIL the
Elizabeth City market. The supply
of turkeys, chickens and geese ex-
hibitcd by dealers in the market
was no more than one expects to
find in the same market any week
end. one citizen observing the mea-
gre display of Thanksgiving fowls
opined that perhaps everybody in
Elizabeth City figured on eating
Thanksgiving dinner on somebody
else.
The explanation made by the
butchers is that they stocked mp
heavily for the Thanksgiving trade
last year and the buyers went Oh a
,striko lravirg the dpnicrs With int
mensc stocks of turkeys and geese
Oh hand after Thanksgiving Day,
which they had to sacrifice in the
dull days just after Thanksgiving
Having been "Stung" good and plcn'
" last year. the butchers bought
cautiously this week.
Rut even at that. there will he a
lot of chickens and geese left over
in the market this week. Folk just
aren't putting ont 60 cents n pound
for turkey. 10 cents pound for
chickens and 10 cents a pound for
goose. Most folk resolved to go to
church and give profound thanks
that they can get along without
such luXuricS.

due to IN increase in the use OF elCc'

an increased consumption in the

Shall Elizabeth City invest a
quarter million dollars or more
in a new electric light and
power plant which the town
probably will outgrow i'll few
years, or shall it connect with
the super power system OF the
Virginia Power & Electric Co.
and bring its fire ready made
over high tension wires in
quantities as needed?
This is a question Elizabeth
City folk have got to think
about and decide at an early
date. The Virginia super
power magnates are rearing TO
come into Elizabeth City. That
they would be was forecast by
this newspaper two weeks ago.
Representatives OF the Virginia
company were in Elizabeth
City this week in conference
! with Mayor McCabe and City
Manager Ferebee.
No proposition was submitted to
the Mayor and City Manager. at this
conference, but proposition Will
be submitted in writing within Il
few days and will be presented to
the Board Of Aldermen at its first
meeting in December.
There will be two propositions III
! fact. First. the super power men
want to buy outright the city'S rec
entity acquired electric light and
power plant together with all street
wires and consumer connections and
buy an exclusive franchise from the
city. The Aldermen will hardly
think kindly of this as Elizabeth
City has only recently cXtricatcd
itself from the predicamcnt OF being
at the mercy of a ruthless private
