week and our friends in different parts of tbe district honored us with drop calls, vv picked up from them scraps of valuable information. W. Hol- lowell, of Nixon ton vicinity, told us something about pod corn culture. Jim Parker, of old Gates, explained to us the wisdom of Jfroyidenee in giv ing rats long tails. Joe Bell, from tbe Goose Honk country.

Well, he and we talked politics. he thinks Cleveland is a man. Jim Par ker says rats and frogs are most deli cate morsels of diet. Others called. and we gathered a harvest of informa tion.

We were prevented from being in the court room this week, except for a short time during tbe progress of the State Docket. In the case of the Slate vs. Samuel Modlin for assault and bat tery of David Smithson, while the de fendant was a policeman, there was a verdict of guilty. Judgment, $25 and costs. Joe Aydlett, colored, was con victed of too great intimacy with a hen roost.

Old Joe is an old offender and apparently a lineal desceedant of that Joe that tbe carpet nagger in re construction days, "lifted the last five dollars from old Joe's pocket, as Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness." Pop-Cors. Poppea Coma, common ly known as popcorn, is a thing that everybody should endeavor to obtain- Why 'r Because it is good. Secondly because it is beautiful. Thirdly be cause it makes the best corn meal and corn bread of any of the corn family. Fourthly, because it is the most pro ductive, other things being equal, of all the corn family.

Fifthly, because is in greater demand than any of the corn family, and because it bringsa higher price iomarket than any of the corn family; except tbe pedal corn, wpicn will cost you a hundred dollars a bushel in the hands of a shrewd chiropodist: or by retail at least a dollar a grain. And sixthly and lastly as a moral agent, and pro moter of domestic harmony and hap- piness. iiome is said to be tne nearest approximation to Heaven, save and except when it approaches eheol. Then, in that latter case, Horue is the Devil's Dancing ground," the cboeen place of his abode, in which he takes more delight than in any of his choice places of sojourn on earth. But to our point of pop corn being a promoter of domestic harmony.

The moral and the physical in our complex constitution are intimately blended, and pop corn is the master physical workman in building up in the family circle, a moral structure that is the delight of Him, who makes love the crowning glory the diadem of human virtues, and who places it in the forefront of the Christian character first, love to God, and second, to our neighbor. Well, love 1 Kind reader, did you ever see a family of three generations; grand parents, parents and children; gathered around a corn popper, before a ingle." That's a sight that will make a good man's heart leap for joy. It's a sight that God and angels look on with pleasure. It's Heaven on earth. It's a sermon in a corn pepper.

The spirit of Christ is there. To a bm tivant, the pop of a champaign bottle is a most delightful salutation to his ear. but, oh how sad I the syren hiss of the serpent is concealed behind it, but the pop of the pop corn in the corn popper is unmixed happiness, without danger. It brings a happy family together and knits them in bands of love. The first kernel that pops is a signal of heart leap, and the follev of pops that quickly follow, give the family heart a bound that is Heav en's own messenger.

Some of the old pootB speak of "sermons in etones," but the sermon in a corn popper is a Gatling Gun in the power of domestic happiness. It is a moral columbiad, an avalanche of family harmony in its overwhelming goodness. How To Build up a Town. The subjoined memorandum or summary of a plan to build up factories here was furnished us by George Allen, an experienced business man, as the result of a conversation we had with him while in Elizabeth City some weeks ago, upon the progress of Southern towns, and the importance and practicability of building them up by manufacturing. The plan that he rec- ommends is a feasible one and applica ble to all enterprises that are efficien' in advancing the prosperity of our towns.

It is the old doctrine of coop eration, illustrated ny "Little drops of water. Little grains of sand Form the mighty river And the boundless strand." Men build towns. Men start enter. prises. i at it is comDinea men iui build pyramids, level mountains, construct highways, create booms, build factories of every description and all great institutions that signalize our age.

"Do you desire to establish new indus trial enterpr'see in Elizabeth City Everv citizen'will say, yes. We need it and should have it. How can we obtain it? In union there is strength. Providence only aids those who use every effort to help themselves One man. or even two men, may not be able to erect a factory, but a united effort on the part of our citizens can accomplish it.

The following plan will Taiso an amount sumcient to insure success. There are in this community at least 25 men who can each subscribe for ten shares of stock, $100 par value, aud which can be paid for at tbe rate of 50 cents per share per week, costing each man $5-er week for a period of 200 weeks. There are 2o men who can take 5 shares each and pay $2.50 per week. There are 2o men who can take 3 shares each and pay $1.50 per week, and there are 25 persons who can take 2 shares and pay $1 per week. This will make 500 shares of $10U, or 50.000 capital stock, with an increase of $250 per week, or about 1.100 per month, and all will be paid in Jess tnan four years.

The factory can be begun at once and it can be in operation during the second year, giving employ ment to 40 or 50 people while building, and permanent employment to as many operatives. Tbe only money that will be sent away, will be lor machinery, and that will be returned bv tbe sale of manufactured goods during the next three or four yearB. Every factory in the South made money last year, aud some of them made twenty per cent, profit. One- story brick buildings are cheapest and best for all factory purposes. Elizabetb City ha cbeap uel available opera tives, splendid climate and material for any kind of factory.

It only requires a strong pull, a long pull and a united pull to accomplish it. Shall we have it Who will take the matter in hand and carry it through? The enterprise will give the best Savings Bank that tbe city could have. It will en courage economy, provide a use for tbe money, and give employment to our people. During the past two years. Building and lX)an i-ompauieu nave Thousand Dollars, all of which was ob- tained by the Companies, from small monthly payments from stockholders in other places.

This mount has caused a number of handsome residences to be erected, and has given employment to our mechanic, and has greatly benefitted tbe place. The time has come when we should unitedly work to establish more manufacturing industries, and the above plan will en- able us to do it." George Allen. i Canjted Products The trend of the world's industry during the last half century, has been toward the preserva tion of products that are perishable. and there have been various devices to accomplish this desirable purpose. Tbe canning industry has spruog up with in forty years from most humble be ginnings, until it has become one of the largest and most valuable indus tries in "the world.

It arose from very I ''mall beginnings and has become an important industry in every commu nity. It is probable that tomatoes now lead all vegetable products in the can ning business. During 1892 there were canned in tbe United States the enormous sum of 3 223.163 cases of tomatoes and of this sum. over a million were packed at the South. The South is the home of the fruits and vegetables and the canning industry should beexten' ded in the South.

The business doe not require much capital to begin it, and it can as it extende, embrace hun dreds of thousands in its manufacture. There is but little risk in it and it can be extended according to its profits The laoor is light, requiring only care and cleanliness, andean be done by women, children and old persons, and there is no business in which a good name is more valuable. Tomatoes leads the canniug industry, and there is no vegetable product that is so easily raised or requires 60 little expense in lertuizing tne ground, ana is so Bure to produce a good crop from good seed. The whole equipment for a tomato, plant having a daily capacity of 2000 cans will cost but little over 100. Why cannot some of our good housewives turn an honest and nimble penny in canning some of our luscious iruits and vegetables that cannot be other, wise utilized.

The process is very simple, and the expense in proportion to profit is very small, and it can be started from the smallest beginnings and the process can be obtained for very little by application to the "Manufacturers' Record," Baltimore, Md.

The week has been of a drizzly, uraz zly character, under which the nerves lose thejr buoyancy and men commit euicide, and John Barleycorn is ram pant, and puddle ducks are happy, and the old horse looks out of the stable window, so forlorn. We hope it may do better for Perquimans. Judge Bvnura is an attractive social companion. We met him at tea on Monday evening, when he unbent from the judgment peat and had doffed the ermine.

We see no reason why a judge of cur courts should not illumine the social circle by his fund and opportunities of observation. The venerable John Barnard, probably the oldest man in Currituck county, departed this life at his home near Movoct on Jtriday, aged ti years. He had been a conspicuous citizen for man years, had represented thecouuty in the Senate of North arohm, and was greatly beloved for his many so cial qualities. Peace. Rest.

Dr. Nowitzky was on band this week and his sonorous and musical voice waked the echoes of Main street- Nowitzky would make one of the most successful political stump speakers in North Caroiina, and we have already engaged his services as a campaign orator in the event of our being nominated for Congress at the next District Convention of the Democratic party. Why don't our local attorneys delay the cases until the foreign lawyers have exhausted their pecuniary funds and leave, and thus leave the business to our'local professionals.

We treated them thus in the olden times. On Tuesday you'd seethe juniors drcp ping off and then the semi-juniors, and the non-resident and then the earnest business or the court would begin. We bad a pleasant cheery call from Rev.

He is one of Elizabeth City's brightest young men and whatever he may engage in we predict for him success; and our kindest and most cordial good wishes willattend him. He is one of the youngest sons of our esteemed friend Frank Vaughan. A big religious revival has been in progress in the Methodist Cihurch in this place for a fortni ht or more, under the conduct of Rev, Mr. Stiff, the pastor cf the Church, which has result ed in nearly fifty conversions, thirtr-six additions to the Church membership, and a general awakening of re Iigious interest, lhe beneficiaries of the occasion extend widely -and em brace some cf our most prominent citi zens.
