EDENTON, SEPT. 20, 1889.
Saturday, the 14th, was our
third anniversary. How rapidly has
the time passed since the Fisherman
and Farmer started its existence, a
little 16 x 22 inch paper, in a little
hole around the corner, with nothing
to back it save the energy and indus
try of its owner. Like every other
similar enterprise, it has had its ene
mies and its friends, and while helped
by the latter it has been, in no
respect, moved or daunted by the
former. Sticking to those things
which were right and with an eye to
the general good of the whole people,
it has pursued a course which, viewed
from this distant stand point, forces
not the slightest regretful emotion.
We have done what we could and
we have lived, despite all prophesy
to the contrary and regardless of the
will of those who have wished us ill.
We are in better shape for business
to-day than ever our subscription
is larger than any paper ever publish
ed in the place, and our job depart
ment is as well supplied as the neces
sity of business requires either here
or elsewhere in the District.
All we ask is a continuance of the
friendship of our business friends and
the support of that party to whose
interest we are, as ever, most sacred
ly pledged, and we will continue to
live a help to all the people. Grate
fully acknowledging friendships of
the past and hoping a further contin
uance of public favor we are

The Virginian, ever cautious
of the peopels good, warnes the Dem
ocracy of that state against the
colonization scheme of Mahone.
It says "There is hardly a doubt
that the attempt will be made to run
negroes over into Virginia from all
the border counties of North Caroli
na, West Virginia and Maryland.
The tactics of Quay in West Virgin
ia and Indiana during the President
ial contest are to be put in play in
Virginia, if possible. This scheme
was hatched in Washington in the
secret conference of Mahone with
Quay, and its hopes of successful
execution, it is believed, were the
reasons which impelled Mahone to
run for Governor."
We trust every democrat in North
Carolina will be on the watch for
absentees from his neighborhood
and will report the same to the
proper authorities in Virginia that
they may be prepared to successfully
challenge every rascal who dares
present himself an elector in that
state.

quite interesting,especially the latter
which is full ox scenes illustrating
realities, natural and accidental, in

ROCKY HOCK LETTER,
September 17th, 1889.
Mr. Editor: Thinking that a word
from our section might not be objec
tionable to some of the readers of your
valuable paper, this scribe will attempt
to scribble off a short communication.
Although times are very dull, evi
dences of improvement are to be seen
in many sections of our community.
The old school house, formerly known
as "Edgewood" in which Mrs. S. E.
Finch used to sway the ferule, now
owned by Mr. J. E. Coffield, has re
cently been repaired and beaut'fied,
presenting a handsome apperance to
passers by. Arrangements have been
made by Messrs. Coffield, Evans and
Layden to open a good school at that
place in the near future. A. Miss
Turpin, of Virginia, is expected to take
charge. The above named gentlemen
desire the community to aid in estab
lishing a permanent school at that place.
Coming a little nearer home, we
find that Mr. James Bunch, of Rocky
Hock, is erecting a handsome two
story residence. Mr. Augustus Bass
has also caught the spirit of improve
ment, and is erecting a cozy little
dwelling. Mr. B. is not a married
man, bnt from appeareDces we are in
clined to believe that he does not intend
to live in "blessed singleness" much
longer.
Other improvements are going on.
Messrs. R. L. Bunch and T. I. J. Wil.
son are having a valuable swamp drain
ed with an eye to having it cleared in
the future, a portion of the same swamp
has recently been cleared by Mr. Cul
len Bunch, who now has the satisfac.
tion of beholding a bountiful crop of
cern upon it. There are other fertile
swamps in RockyHock, which, if
cleared, would be valuable additions
to the farming community.
Money is scarce, and times are dull,
but our people mean to go ahead.
Having failed tosecure remunerative
prioes for our farm products the past
season, we should not despair. May
it teach us to economize more closely
than we have in the past. Let us learn
to produee at home what many of us
purchase from our Northern neighbors
All of our bread stuffs, meat and hay
should be made at home, and thus
save the expense of purchasing from
elsewhere. How can we expect money to
