EDENTON, N. C.
For the Fisherman & Fasmer
On the north side of Albemarle sound,
Situated on a Bay of its name,
Stands the beautiful town of Edenton,
Of ancient renown and fame.
Dating back before the days of Revolu
tion, An epoch that tried men's soul's,
It recalls many deeds of daring,
The Historian has yet to unfold.
Then surounded by dense lines of forest
The haunt of the roving red race,
Perfumed by the wild honeysuckle.
The yellow Jessamine, lending beauty
and grace:
Containing but a 6mall population,
The decendents of proud, noble birth:
Distinguished for their generous hospi
tality, Intelligence, refinement and worth.
It was here our early forefathers
Labored hard tilling the soil,
Till called to defend their dear home
steads
From internal strife and turmoil:
It was here when oppressed by taxation
The Colonies, no deliverance could see
Issued their famous declaration,
Declaring themselves Independent
and Free.
It was here those true, noble Matrons,
Together did meet and decree,
While subjects, under the Crown of
Great Britton,
They henceforth would drink no
more Tea.
It was here that a Johnston and Iredell,
And other gallant sons of that date:
By their patriotism and devotion,
Rendered themselves illustrous and
great.
And tho' Father Time has passed swiftly
And vast improvements since then
have been made.
Yet with pride we hoaor the Heroes,
By whom its early foundation was
laid.
For still we cherish its ancient land
.marks, The Court House and Old Masonic
Hall,
While our hearts are filled with vener
ation
For its sacred edefice, known as St.
Paul.
For there midst Evergreens and Roses,
Upon a carpet of velyety green :
The tombs of our early ancestors
Are everywhere there to be seen:
And its towering spire pointing upward
Into ondless space far above,
Should ever remind us, their children
our duty,
Their memories to cherish and love.
And though, this age of civilization,
Has caused new scenes to transpire,
When I recall childhood days in old
Edenton,
Its early history, I cling to, and ad
m;re. Edenton, N. C, June 1, 93

REPORT
of ;the fisheries
OF THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES
DR. IIUGU M. SMITH.
BY
From a report on the fisheries of
the South Atlantic States, extracted
from the Bulletin of the U S. Fish
Commission for 1891, the following
compilation is of especial interest to
the people of Eastern North Carolina
" The investigation on wh'ch the
report is based, was personally "con
ducted by a part . of the divisional
force of the Commission during
1S90 and 189i."
The figures tabulated apply to the
commercial fisheries in the coasta
waters and rivers ot Eastern North
Carolina.

Increase (per cent. SI. 5) $181974.
The fishing industry of North Cars
olina ranks as one of the most import
ant business enterprises of the State,
and in the coastal regions h no doubt
of greater value than any other sing'e
branch of trade. There are few
states having so large a population
so entirely dependent on the fisheries
for a livelihood, and there are few
sections in which the general iacilities
for prosecuting the industry are more
favorable. The fisheries, therefore,
possess a great economic interest to
the state and indirectly to thecountrv
at large; and a proper knowledge of
the extent, condition, and needs of
the iadustry becomes of considerable
importance to the citizens of the
commonwealth.
In i880 North Carolina occupied
the tenth raak among the coast State-,
this posit on being determined by the
the valued the produces. In 1S88.
owing chiefly to a large decrease in
the mullet fishery, the State bad faJ-

en to the thirteenth position, being
surpassed y ; Massachusetts, Califor
nia, New Jersey, Maryland. New
x ork. v lrginia. Maine, Connecticut,
Oregon. Wasirngton. Rhode Island,
md F orida. At the present time,
u"n4 to an almost phenomenal de
velopment of the oyster industry, the
Mate occupies a ' lace considerably m
.dvance of that held in 1888, and
and probably ranks after Connecticut
in the list before given. There "is
little reason to - oubt that the in
creased tt ;u on lecently devoted to
oyster induction &nd cultivation will
soon give North Carolina higher
rank and greater j restige as a fishing
State.
CLOSING EXERCISES
OF MISS
SATEK FIELD S SCHOOL
HOCKTnOCK.
IN
Satu dv niszl t last will long be
remembered by the many spectators
who witnessed the closing exercises
of Miss Clara Saterfield's school in
Rockvhock
The at'?, moon was quite rainv, r.nd
fears bsan to te entertained that
the exhi'inon v ould have to be post
poned; bnt in ood time the rain
ceased, the clouds cleared away, and
by sunset quite a number of anxious
spectators had assembled at the
school room in time to procure seats
before the exercises began. Still
they continued to come until the
house was parked to overflowing.
At early candlelight the curtains
rolled back, exhibiting fifteen beauti
ful young ladies, all dressed in white
(emblem f purity,) who sang the
beautiful pong "Welcome to night,"
after which a few openiDg remarks
were made by the writer, then cam
the recitations ani dialogues, all ol
which were well rendered by the
participants to the amusement and
delight of the entire audience.
Miss Maud Hanell, of Edenton,
was ortianitt. who added much to the
enjoyment of the occasion. The ex
ercises closed nt ' :30. Everybody
seemed to be well pleased with the
entertainment, and opoieof it in the
highest terms. Said that it was
much beter than they anticipated.
Tuere was evidently somo good tal
ent displayed uron the stage that
would have dons credit to many who
have enjoyed better literary advant
ages than any of the Kockyhockians.
Miss Sat terfie.'d deserves much praise
for getting up foch an interesting
entertainment in so short a time.
