Bank Failure at Wilmington Leaves Shortage Unresolved
The Messenger reports a discovered shortage in the affairs of the smashed first National Bank of Wilmington. Cashier H M Bowden is absent, hindering examiner Aiken from completing the audit. Deposits are unclear, with estimates between ten and twenty thousand dollars. Sheriff Steadman has attached Bowden’s property to secure a $3,000 note to the Wilmington Savings and Trust Co.

Great Catch of Bluefish Off Hatteras Coast
Fishermen along the Hatteras coast report large quantities of bluefish being caught. Shad runs earlier in southern waters, and in about a month stake nets on the Carolina marshes will bring fish to market in moderate quantities competing with Florida supply, likely lowering prices. Best fish are already selling in the Norfolk market at a dollar a pair for Christmas season.
