OUR COUNTRY.
TO OUR AGENTS.
This Directory of North Carolina is issued in a
time of great prosperity to the State. I congratulate my
Agents (more than one hundred in all) in the ninety-six
different counties, on the valuable work they have
enabled me to accomplish for the State during the last
twenty-three years. I now issue the Seventh Edition,
which shows great prosperity in all lines of business.
We have stood together well against all opposition. Let
our organization continue and let us go forward.
LEVI BRANSON.

the Librarian of Congress, at Washington.

Surface — Brunswick is generally level
and sandy, much of the land is in swamps,
and requires draining before cultivation.
Staples — Cotton, corn, ground peas,
sweet potatoes, rice, turpentine and lum-
ber. The soil next to the sound produces
abundant crops of pea-nuts. Some farm-
ers are growing grapes successfully.
Fruits — Apples, peaches, grapes, pears,
melons, &c.
Timbers — Long-leaf pine, juniper, live
oak, cypress, ash, &c.

BUNCOMBE COUNTY.
AREA 620 Square Miles.
Population 25,910; White 21,424, Colored 4,486.
Buncombe County was formed in
1791, from Burke and Rutherford coun-
ties, and derives its name from Col.
Edward Buncombe, of Tyrrell county,
who was Colonel of the Fifth North Car-
olina Regiment in the Continental Army.
It lies immediately west of the Blue
Ridge, and is the centre of the Trans-
montane section.
Asheville, the county-seat, is on the
French Broad river. It was named in
honor of Gov. Samuel Ashe, of New
Hanover, and was originally called Mor-
ristown. Its elevation is 2,250 feet above
sea-level.
The population is about 10,250, and it
is one of the most noted summer resorts
in the South.
Asheville is the metropolis of " The
Land of the Sky."
Surface — Buncombe county is situated
on the west side of the Blue Ridge, and
occupies a beautiful rolling country down
the Swannanoa and French Broad rivers,
which streams water it finely, and along
the valleys of which are found thousands
of acres of very rich lands. Nearly all
the land in this county is susceptible of
cultivation, as the fine growth of timber
even on the sides of the mountains indi-
cates. The scenery is enchanting — the
air invigorating.
Staples — Corn, wheat, rye, oats and live
stock. Tobacco is now being grown suc-
cessfully, and of fine quality.
Fruits — Peaches, apples, pears, grapes,
chestnuts, and nearly every kind of fruit
grown to great perfection.
Timber — Walnut, white pine, oak, pop-
lar, hickory, ash, maple, cherry, chestnut
and many other kinds of wood noted in
the fine arts.
Minerals — Mica and other valuable
minerals are found in this county. Min-
eral and iron springs abound. The water-
power is unsurpassed.

CARTERET COUNTY.
Area ?20 Square Miles.
Population 9,785; White 7,107, Colored 2,678.
Carteret County was one of the
original precincts of the Lords Proprie-
tors, and was called in honor of one of
the Lords, Sir George Carteret. It bor-
ders on the Atlantic Ocean for a distance
of 75 miles, and is so near to the Gulf
Stream as to make the climate quite equa-
ble all the year round.
Beaufort, the county-seat, is on Beau-
fort harbor, and is a town of growing im-
portance. It is a delightful summer re-
sort, 144 miles east of Raleigh, and has a
population of 2,500.
Morehead City, the terminus of the
Atlantic & North Carolina Railroad, is a
beautiful new city. It has a population
of 849, and is a charming sea-side home.
Surface — The land is low and level,
much of it in swamps and marshes. It
extends up and down the sound for sev-
enty miles. A portion of the county in
narrow strips, called The Banks, lies be-
tween the sound and the ocean. Much
of the swamp is very rich and very pro-
ductive when well drained.
Staples — There are some very fine cot-
ton lands in this county. The moisture
of the climate has a tendency to produce
a fine, soft fabric. Corn grows well, and
in the western portion, along the sound,
ground-peas are produced to perfection.
Sweet potatoes are raised in large quanti-
ties, of superior quality The fisheries
are extensive and often very valuable.
The last battle fought in the State with
the Indians was fought in 1712, within
one mile of the present town of Beaufort.
Col. James Moore, of South Carolina,
was in charge of the Colonial forces. The
battle was with ihe Core Indians, who in-
habited this county.
Fruits — Fig^, apples, peaches, pears,
grapes and melons to great perfection.
Timbers —Live oak, lo.ig-leaf pine, ce-
dar, cypress, ash, gum and juniper.

CASWELL COUNTY.
Area 400 Square Miles.
Population 17,825 ; White 7,168, Colored 10,687.
Caswell County was erected in 1777,
out of Orange county, and takes its name
from Richard Caswell, the first Governor
of the State under the Constitution.
Yanceyville, its capital (named in
compliment of Hon. Bartlett Yancey), is
69 miles northwest from Raleigh, and
contains a population of 965.
Surface — Caswell county lies on the
south bank of Dan river, and on small
tributary streams. The surface is mod-
erately uneven, and the soil generally
good, especially for tobacco. There are
probably no finer tobacco lands in
America.
Staples — Tobacco is the great staple in
this county. The leaf grown here is cele-
brated far and near. Wheat, corn and
oats grow finely, but are not considered
so profitable as tobacco.
Fruits — Apples, peaches, pears, and all
the small fruits, melons.
Timber — Oak, hickory, walnut, poplar,

CATAWBA COUNTY.
Area 440 Square Miles.
Population 14,946; White 12,472, Colored 2,474.
Catawba County was cut off from
Lincoln county in 1842, and takes its
name from the beautiful river which
forms its northern boundary.
Newton, the county-seat, is directly
on the Western North Carolina Railroad,
and is 178 miles west of Raleigh. Popu-
lation 1,656.
Surface — This county is situated in the
bend of the Catawba river, which makes
a curve around the north and east sides.
The land is moderately uneven, and most
of it quite productive; it is well watered,
and plenty of water-power for immense
machinery. Catawba is a prosperous
county, out of debt, taxes low, and money
in the treasury — a desirable place to settle.
The celebrated Sparkling Catawba Springs
are in this county.
Staples — Corn, cotton and wheat are
the great staples, and large quantities are
shipped to other counties. Irish potatoes
and grass are grown with success. Live
stock is profitable. 1 his is among the
best wheat growing counties in the State.
Fruits — Peaches, apples, pears, grapes,
plums and berries.
Timbers — Black walnut, poplar, ash,
gum, hickory, chestnut, wild cherry, elm
and all the oaks.
Minerals — Iron, gold and alum are
found in this county.

CHATHAM COUNTY.
AREA 800 Square Miles.
Population 23,456; White 15,501, Colored 7955.
Chatham County was organized in
the year 1770, and named after the cele-
brated English statesman, William Pitt.
Earl of Chatham.
PlTTSBORO, the county-seat, is 33 miles
west of south from Raleigh. Population,
580.
Surface — This county is undulating,
some parts almos' approaching mountain-
ous. The uplands are susceptible of a
high state of cultivation. The valleys
along the streams are rich.
Staples — Corn, cotton, wheat, oats,
rye, tobacco, potatoes, peas, grasses and
nearly every kind of vegetable, and laige
quantities of butter, chickens and eggs.
Fruits — Apples, peaches, pears, plums,
apricots, melons and berries.
Timbers — Oak, hickory pine, gum and
ash.
Water-power — There is an abundant
water-power. Haw river enters the county
at its northwestern boundary, and passes
diagonally across, affording at almost
every mile the finest water-power in the
State. Deep river running through the
western and southern portions of the
county and Rocky river through the cen-
tre, afford a series of water-powers unsur-
passed. In fact, it is believed that the
water-power of Chatham county is supe-
rior to that of the whole State of Con-
necticut.

CRAVEN COUNTY.
Area 900 Square Miles.
Population 19,729; White 6,662, Colored 13,067.
Craven County was one of the origi-
nal precincts of the Lords Proprietors,
and derives its name from William, Earl
of Craven, to whom, with others, the
charter was granted by Charles II.
Newbern, the county-seat, is named
after Bern, in Switzerland, and is one of
the oldest towns in the State; located at
the junction of Neuse and Trent rivers,
no miles east of Raleigh. Population,
8,000.
Surface. — This county is level. It
is traversed by the Neuse river running
from northwest to southeast. On both
sides of the river there is much bottom
land that produces heavy crops when well
drained. The advantages of water trans-
portation are fine.
Staples. — Cotton and corn are the great
staples. ShingLs and lumber are manu-
factured profitably. Naval stores and fish
are items of very considerable profit. New-
bern is one of the finest fish-markets in
the State. Truck-farming, of late years,
has become extensive and profitable.
Fruits. — Apples, peaches, pears, apri-
cots, nectarines, figs, melons, and nearly
every species of small fruit.
Timbers. — Pine, cypress, poplar, gum,
live oak, water oak, etc.

CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
Area 900 Square Miles.
Population 23,836; White 12,592, Colored 11,244.
Cumberland County was formed in
the year 1754 from the upper part of
Bladen. It derives its name from the
Duke of Cumberland, a popular and
brave officer, at that time, in England.
Favetteville. the county-seat, was
settled in 1762, and was at first called
Campbelltown, afterwards Cross Creek,
and in 17S4 its name was changed to
Fayetteville, in honor of General Lafay-
ette. Fayetteville is located on the Cape
Fear river; it is sixty miles west of south
from Raleigh, and contains a population
of 7,000.
Surface. — Cumberland is situated on the
Cape Fear river and tributaries; land gen-
erally level, and much of it quite produc-
tive when well drained — especially so along
the streams.
Staples. — Cotton and corn are the lead-
ing staples. Naval stores are still pro-
duced, but not as extensively as formerly,
though still a source of considerable in-
come to the county
Fruits. — Pears, apples, peaches, apri-
cots, grapes (the Tokay vineyards are in
this county), all the small fruits and melons
equal to any, perhaps, grown in the State.
Timbers. — Pine in abundance, oak, gum,
hickory, cypress, &c.

CURRITUCK COUNTY.
Area 200 Square Miles.
Population 6,476; White 4,496, Colored 1,980.
Currituck County was one of the
early precincts of the State, in 1729, when
the Lords Proprietors surrendered their
rights to the English Crown. It derives
its name from a tribe of Indians who once
inhabited and owned the county. It is
situated in the extreme northeastern por-
tion of the State, and is bounded on the
north by the Virginia line, east by the
Atlantic Ocean, south by the Albemarle
Sound, and west by Camden county.
The county, especially on Currituck
Sound, is well adapted for truck-raising.
Melons can be successfully grown from
four miles above Court-House to Powell's
Point — a distance of thirty-four miles.
The fishing and ducking interest, from
November until March, is a source of
considerable revenue to the thirty-four
miles territory above named, including
the islands and beach. Her people have
labored and paid taxes, paid taxes and
labored again, to rid themselves of what
has been known so long as the " canal
debt," and this year's levy will put her
out of debt. The taxes for all purposes
are $1 on the hundred, which is quite a
fall from $2.75 in 1SS0. Next year the
county will only have to levy to defray
her current expanses, which will be about
fifty or sixty cents on the dollar. Wbh
the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal and
the N. S. Railroad, her shipping facilities
are good; on ihe road her trucks, etc,
can leave this evening and be in New
York to-morrow morning. The people
are a church-going people, and are in
favor of free schools, but at this time her
schools are languishing on account of "the
debt;" however, from now she will not
lag in the advancement of education.
Moyock is quite a thriving little village
on the N. S. Railroad. A company of
men from New York are negotiating to
buy thirty thousand acres of land in that
vicin'ty; when that is consummated others
will follow, and Currituck county will not
be excelled in the State for her variety
and productiveness of ^oil.
1, Cukrituck Court-House, the county-
seat, is beautifully located on Currituck
Sound, and is 242 miles northeast from
Raleigh. Population, including town-
ship, 2,000.
Surface. — Low, level, and soil rich
The navigation advantages are very good.
Staples. — Cotton, corn, and fish. Truck-
ing for the Northern markets is extensively
engaged in. Large quantities of live fowl
are killed during the winter months, and
find a ready sale at Norfolk and points
farther North.
Frtiits. — Apples, peaches, pears, ber-
ries, melons and grapes in great profusion.
Timbers. — Pine, cypress, juniper and
gum.

DARE COUNTY-
Area 270 Square Miles.
Population 3,245; White 2.878, Colored 367.
Dare County was organized in 1870,
from Tyrrell, Hyde and Currituck, and
was named in honor of Virginia Dare, the
first white child born on the American
Continent after its discovery by Columbus.
ManteO, the county-seat, is 250 miles
northeast from Raleigh, and derives its
name from the chief of an Indian tribe
that formerly occupied that portion of the
State. Population of the town 175.
Surface. — Dare county embraces a small
area of high land, and large bodies of
swamp and marsh. The surface is cut up
by extensive collections of water; hence
the principal occupation of the people is
that of fishing.
Nag's Head, on the east shore, is a
noted summer resort. Education and en-
terprise would make this one of the finest
counties in the State. It is noted for its
sea-breezes and healthfulness. The first
English settlement was made here in 1584.
Virginia Dare, the first white child born
on this Continent, first saw the light of
day in this county, hence the name; and
the first religious services of this country
were performed on the banks of the
Roanoke Sound.
Staples, — Fish form the great staple of
this county. The product of this item is
estimated at over two hundred thousand
dollars per annum. Rogers & Etheridge
alone did a business of some seventy-five
thousand dollars in one year. Corn, sweet
potatoes and scuppernong grapes grow
finely. This is the native home of the
scuppernong.
Timbers. — Cypress, juniper, gum, wa-
ter oak, live oak and others.
Fruits. — Figs, apples, peaches, cran-
berries and other small fruits.

DAVIE COUNTY.
Area 300 Square Miles.
Population 11,097; White 7,770, Colored 3,327.
Davie County was formed in 1S36,
from Rowan, and named in honor of
Gen. Wm. R. Davie, a resident of Hali-
fax county, who acted a prominent part
in the Revolutionary War.
Mocksville, the county-seat, is 120
miles west of Raleigh, and contains a
population of 525. It takes its name
from the Mock family, who were promi-
nent citizens of that portion of Rowan
before the separation.
Surface — Moderately uneven; well wa-
tered by the Yadkin river and its tribu-
taries. Soil rich; a fine farming country.
Staples. — This is one of the finest
wheat-growing counties in the State. Corn
is grown largely. Grass is profitable. Of
late years tobacco is grown with great
success. Some cotton is raised, and the
amount is increased yearly.
Fruits are those common to the Mid-
dle section of the State — apples, pears,
peaches, plums, cherries, etc. The mel-
ons of the Yadkin Valley are noted for
their fine flavor.
Timbers — Oak, hickory, elm, poplar,
maple, and some walnut and pine.

DUPLIN COUNTY-
Area 670 Square Miles.
Population 18,771; White 10.586, Colored 8,185,
Duplin County was formed in 1749,
from the upper part of New Hanover
county. Its early settlers were Irish, and
the name reminded them of Dublin.
KENANSVILLE, the county-seat, was
named for the Hon. James Kenan, and is
situated 75 miles southeast of Raleigh.
Population, 528.
Surface. — Duplin county is situated
mostly on the east side of the Wilmington
and Weldon Railroad, and on the head-
waters of the Northeast Cape Fear river;
it is level and much of the land good.
The location and surface are such as to
make it susceptible of a high state of cul-
tivation.
Staples. — Cotton is the great staple,
and is cultivated with intelligence and
marked success. Corn and sweet pota-
toes are profitable crops. Naval stores
are still produced in considerable quanti-
ties, and some years bring in large amounts
of money. The scuppernong grape is per-
fectly at home here; is grown extensively,
and of the finest kind. Of late years
trucking is attracting considerable atten-
tion.
Fruits — Grapes, melons, apples, peaches,
pears, and almost all the smaller fruits
common to this latitude.
Timbers — Long-leaf pine, oak, gum,
cypress, dogwood, maple", etc.

260 BRANSON'S NORTH CAROLINA
THE GLOBE WAREHOUSE,
FOR THE SALE OF LEAF TOBACCO,
IS ONE OF THE INSTITUTIONS OF MOUNT AIRY OF WHICH
THE PEOPLE MAY WELL BE PROUD.
It is situated on Main street, and is owned by a joint stock company, incorporated
under the laws of North Carolina. It is now under the management of Joseph W.
Ashby and his paitners, as lessees. It was not completed until February 1st, 1887,
and the first sale in it was had on that day, since which time it has enjoyed a liberal
patronage. The building is a two-story brick, 160 feet by 70 feet. Contiguous to
it, and belonging to the Globe Warehouse Company, is a vacant lot, 140 by 60 feet,
suitable for a large tobacco factory, for which purpose it will be sold very cheaply.
In addition to above, fronting on Main street, are two store-rooms in first story,
suitable for good grocery business or general merchandise, which are for rent cheap.

TESTIMONIALS.
WINSTON CITY SCHOOLS.— Superintendents Office, )
Winston, N. C, March 27, 1889./
Messrs. Stewart Bros.: — Dear Sirs,— It affords me pleasure to say that the book
you printed for me on the "Names of the Counties of North Carolina and the History
Involved in Them," was very neatly and satisfactorily done, and I am glad to
recommend your firm. Yours Very Truly, W. A. Blair, Superintendent Schools.
Winston, N. C, March 25, 1889.
Messrs. Stewart Bros., Winston, N. C. :
Gentlemen, — The Library Catalogue of Winston Graded Schools, printed and bound
by you, is a very creditable piece of workmanship, neat and tasty and hard to beat
iii the State. Very truly,
W. A. Whitaker, Chninnan of School Board.
Messrs. Stewart Bros. -.—Dear Sirs,— The work you did in printing the Minutes
of the Pilot Mountain Association was neat, tasteful and satisfactory.
Respectfully, H. A. Brown,
March 25, 1889. Pastor Baptist Church, Winston, AT. C
Oak Ridge Institute, N. C, December 14, 1888.
Messrs. M. I. & J. C. Stewart, Winston, N. C. :
Sirs,— Print and send us 300 more Catalogues as soon as you can — by the 18th at out'
side. Like them splendidly. Yours truly, J. A. & M. H. Holt.
Durham, N. C, March 25, 1889.
Messrs. M. I. A J. C. Stewakt, Winston, N. C. :
Gents,— The Winston City Directory printed by you gives entire satisfaction and is
equal to any, and far superior to many books printed by New York firms for us. We
send by express to-day copy for our Durham, N. C, City Directory— which we know
will receive prompt and careful attention. We also wish you to print our Winston
and Salem Directory for this year. Respectfully, E. F. Turner & Co.,
Directory Publishers, 217 Eltn Street, Yonkers, A'. Y.
A Neat Job.— Turner's Directory of Winston-Salem lor this year is one of the best
arranged and printed books of that kind that we have yet seen. The selection of type
is in good taste, the printing clean, clear and neat, and everything about it is of the
highest artistic order, showing that the Stewart Bkothers, of this city, at whose
office it was printed, are master workmen, who thoroughly understand their busi-
ness.— Twin-VUy Daily, Mai/ 15th, 1889.
A Neat Piece of Work.— We have been shown the Catalogue of the Siler City
Thompson School, a 100-page pamphlet, published by Messrs. M. L& J. C. Stewart,
Job Printers of Winston. It is an admirable piece of work— indeed, we have seen
nothing of the kind printed in this State which surpasses it in neatness of typograph-
ical execution. — Winston Sentinel, June 13th, 1889.
The following from the Mt. Airy Xeivs shows that Winston talent is appreciated
elsewhere as well as at home. This enterprising firm is doing an immense amount of
work, and of a class that cannot be excelled by any printing establishment in North
Carolina: "We have seen and examined some job work executed at Stewarts'
.Lob Office, Winston, for Messrs. J. K. Reynolds, Fulton & Bro., Geo. B. Yates, J. V.
Mitchell, Jos. W. Ashby and others of this town, and we know of no office in tne
State that can produce better specimens than these. The work is well done."— Tuin-
CUy Daily, July 29th, 1889.

FORSYTH COUNTY.
AREA 340 Square Miles.
Population 18,070; White 13,442, Colored 4,628.
Forsyth County was formed in 1848,
from Stokes county, and was named in
honor of Col. Benjamin Forsyth, of Ger-
man town, Stokes county.
Winston is the county-seat. Popula-
tion (estimated) 8,500.
Salem, settled by the Moravians over
one hundred years ago, and adjoining
Winston, contains a population estima-
ted at 3,500.
Surface — Moderately hilly, and wa-
tered by many small streams. Much of
the soil is good and susceptible of a high
state of cultivation.
Staples — Corn, wheat, oats and dried
fruit. Tobacco has recently become one
of the leading crops, and the large num-
ber of tobacco factories and warehouses in
Winston has given an impetus to the cul-
ture of tobacco in the county almost un-
precedented. Forsyth is one of the finest
fruit-growing counties in the State.
The Fruits of this county are apples,
peaches, pears, apricots, nectarines, cher-
ries, plums and the small fruits. The
export of dried blackberries from this
county is immense.
Timbers of this county consist of oak,
hickory, poplar, walnut, pine, chestnut,
and other kinds common to the Piedmont
counties of the State.

FRANKLIN COUNTY.
Area 420 Square Miles.
Population 20,829 ; White 9,474, Colored 11,355.
Franklin County was formed in 1779,
from what was, prior to that time, Bute
county. In that year the General Assembly
obliterated the name of Bute and formed
from it territory which now constitutes
Franklin and Warren counties. Franklin
was named in honor of the philosopher
and sage, Benjamin Franklin, who ren-
dered his country important services in a
civil capacity during the Revolution.
LouiSBURG, the county-seat, is situated
on Tar river, 35 miles northeast from
Raleigh, and has a population of 965.
It was a common saying of this part of
the State during the Revolution, " There
are no Tories in Bute."
Surface. — Franklin county is situated
on Tar river and tributaries; is mode-
rately undulating, well watered and soil
generally good. It is nearly on the
dividing line between the cotton and to-
bacco sections; is a pleasant country and
has a thrifty population.
Staples. — Both cotton and tobacco are
produced successfully, and may be called
the leading staples. Corn, wheat, oats,
clover, grasses, and sweet potatoes are
profitable crops.
Fruits — Apples, peaches, pears and the
small fruits, melons, etc.
Timbers — Oak, hickory, pine, gum,
beech, walnut, etc.

AREA 680 Square Miles.
Population 23,584; White 16,886, Colored 6,69s.
Guilford County was formed in 1770,
from Rowan and Orange counties It was
called in compliment of Lord Noith, who,
in 1770, succeeded the Duke of Grafton
as First Lord of the Treasury and Prime
Minister. He was heir to the title of
Guilford and eventually succeeded to it as
Earl of Guilford.
Greensboro, the county-seat, is 82
miles northwest of Raleigh, at the June
tion of lhe Richmond & Danville and Cape
Fear & Yadkin Valley Railroads, and was
named in honor of General Nathaniel
Green. Population (estimated) 8,125.
Surface — Pleasantly undulating — hilly
but not mountainous; soil good, water-
power very fine. Deep river and other
smaller streams supply abundant water,
and the central location makes it a desir-
able county for residence. It contains a
thrifty population.
Staples — Tobacco, corn, wheat and
fruits in abundance and in great perfec-
tion. Several nurseries have been in ope-
ration for many years and have accom-
plished much for the interest of fruit-grow-
ing. Grass-growing is also profitable.

quinces, melons, plums, cherries and
other small fruits.
Timbers — Pine.oak, hickory and poplar.

HALIFAX COUNTY.
AREA 680 Square Miles.
Population 30,300; White 9,162, Colored 21,138.
Halifax County was formed in 1758,
from Edgecombe county, and in this year
the court-house for the counties of Edge-
combe, Granville and Northampton was
moved from Enfield to the town of Hali-
fax. It derives its name from the Earl of
Halifax, who in 1758 was the first Lord
of the Board of Trades.
Halifax, the county-seat, is 83 miles
northeast from Raleigh, on the west bank
of the Roanoke river, and also on the
Wilmington and Weldon Railroad. Popu-
lation 500.
Scotland Neck, 21 miles southeast of
Halifax, has a population of 1,250, and is
the largest town in the county.
Surface. — This county is located on the
west side of the Roanoke river; generally
level and soil rich. Convenient railroad
and river transportation makes it very
desirable for farmers. This is doubtless
one of the finest counties in the State.
Staples. — Cotton is the great staple.
Corn and sweet potatoes are profitable
crops, and tobacco is grown successfully in
the northern part of the county. Plenty
of water-power and timber.
Fruits — Apples, peaches, pears, grapes,
cherries, plums, melons and a great variety
of small fruits.
Timbers — Pine, oak, hickory, poplar,
maple, cypress and juniper.

leys interspersed, watered by the French
Broad; sceneiy unsurpassed for beauty
and grandeur.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY.
Area 80 Square Miles.
Population 29,091; White 12,015, Colored 17,076.
New Hanover County was formed
in 1728, and named in honor of the House
of Hanover, then on the English throne.
Wilmington, the county-seat, was
named in honor of the Earl of Wilming-
ton, the nobleman to whose patronage
Governor Johnson (in 1739) was indebted
for his office. It was originally called
Newton* and is situated at the head of
ocean navigation on the Cape Fear river,
148 miles south of Raleigh. Population
24,968.
Surface. — New Hanover is situated be-
tween the Cape Fear liver and Onslow
Bay, and lies in the shape of a cone with
the apex extending south to New Inlet.
The county of Pender took the greater
portion of the former territory of New
Hanover. The land is level and much
of it swampy — quite rich and very pro-
ductive when well drained. The advan-
tages of navigation are very fine.
Staples — Cotton, corn, rice, ground peas,
vegetables, naval stores and fish.
The climate and soil of New Hanover
make it very valuable for trucking, vege-
tables being at least twenty-five days
earlier than at Norfolk and points further
north.
This is also the banner county of the
State in the production of ground-peas,
very profitable crop to the planter.
Fruits — Peaches, grapes, berries and
other small fruits.
Timbers — Pine, cypress, gum and live
oak.

the small fruits.

holly and buck. Large quantities of pine

Population 10,386; White 4,857, Colored 5,529.
Pasquotank County was formed in
1729, from one of the original precincts of

tribe of Indians who once owned the soil.
Elizabeth City, the county-seat, is

swampy, but a part in a high state of cul-
tivation. Very rich and very productive.
The county lies on the west bank of the
Pasquotank river, and has very fine ad-
vantages for navigation. A daily line of
steamers runs from the county-seat to Nor-
folk, and steam transportation lines from
Norfolk to all points on the Pamlico and
Albemarle sounds and on the Chowan,
Roanoke and Neuse rivers and other
streams tributary to these sounds, touch
at Elizabeth City. Besides the canal com-
merce, there is considerable coasting trade,
while the railroad does an immense busi-
ness. A hospitable population.
Staples — Cotton, corn, sweet potatoes,
wheat, oats, rice and general trucking,
shingles, lumber and fish.
Fruits — Apples pears, peaches, grapes
and the small fruits.

Is peculiarly strong by reason of the character of its business and its financial con-
dition, with over forty-three years' experience.
It selects its risks with great care, and in the healthy sections of our own country only.
Each policy now issued provides that, in case of lapse after two or three years'
premiums are paid, it is fully paid up for an amount stated upon the policy, without
any action on the part of the insured ; also gives large cash values after ten years,
which are printed in figures on the policy.

-rue /FTNA I IFE Asks y°ur Patronage> g°',d people of North Carolina,
nc- K- ' INM L-'' >- ^ecause y0u cannot, in all our borders, find a stronger,
better managed, or more prompt Life Insurance Company
to deal with. To substantiate this, we appeal to our
record, which dates back a quarter of a century.
Ml M I QTC RQ ~i=— Many among the ablest in your calling are insured with us.
iinisi cr\o t=^=z Are you ? If noti do not delay
I AWY F R9 — r The Bench and Bar are largely insured with us — Univer-
L.M VV T C n O _ c.^f ir|pn anH professors 0f Law. Are you? If not, we
shall expect your application very soon.
DOCTORS;
— You know the value of a human life, and among our
_ insured are many who rank high in your profession. Aid
us by a word to those who are careless about insurance,
and send in your own application.
urnpu ANTS The largest merchant in the world is insured with us for
IVILnunHii o all wg win takg^ Vou insure your goods; be as liberal
with your life.
F A R M F R S ' — ~ — • Men who toil hard for little money, your safest investment
r m rv ivi l. o — .s a GooD Life Insurance p0iiCy in the .Etna Life In-
surance Company.
YOI I N fi MEN While insurance is cheap, and you can put by something
IUUI u mi-M jor the jru(ure^ take an Endowment Policy or Limited
Payment Life Policy in the /ETNA. You will never
regret such an investment.
Our Non-participating Policy is cheaper than Cooperative Insurance, because
— we give a "paid-up" value after three annual payments, and Cooperatives
'give nothing, should you cease paying. Our Twenty- Payment
^W° Terminal Endowment is a beautiful combination of PROTEC-
Ut^TION and ENDOWMENT, and costs less than eight
jgg~ dollars per thousand more than an ordinary Partici-
~~ pating Life Contract.

{From the Yorkville Enquirer.]
FINE PORTRAIT.
Our office is ornamented with a fine oil
portrait of the late John E. Grist, father
of the proprietor of the Enquirer. Mr.
Grist was among the first printers that
ever came to Yorkville to enter into the
business, having been induced to come
here by Messrs. Beatty & Williams to print
for them the Yorkville Patriot. This was
in the year 1833, and he remained here
continuously, either as publisher or em-
ploye in the printing business, until inca-
pacitated by the infirmities of age, a few
years before his death, which occurred in
1870. So closely identified with the print- i
ing business in Yorkville as was he, it was
deemed meet and proper that his likeness
should be preserved in the Enquirer
office, and Mr. David L. Clark, an artist
of celebrity at High Point, North Caro-
lina, was commissioned to perpetuate his
features on canvas. Though the painting
was made from an old daguerreotype, most
truthfully did the artist perform his task,
and the result is a picture highly satisfac-
tory to us, and one pronounced by con-
noisseurs an admirable work of art, while
those who remember the features depicted !
pronounce it a correct and truthful likeness.
Mr. Clark is a painter of rare ability.
A pupil of the famous Sully, his natural
talent was fully developed by that great
master in the art of portrait-painting,
while his skillful brush has produced many
ideal paintings of pronounced merit. His
work is his best recommendation as an
artist, and those who may desire portrait-
painting executed in the highest style of
the art are invited to give the one referred j
to an inspection. '
[From the High Point Enterprise,]
EXCELLENT WORK.
Mr. D. L. Clark has completed the
fine oil painting of Henry Clay, for the
Guilford College. It is a masterpiece of
art, and adds to the artist's already well-
established reputation. Being a born
artist, and his faculties haying been de-
veloped under the training of the famous
Sully, we are not surprised at Mr. Clark
reaching the high standard of excellence
in his profession. It was while gazing at
his (Clark's) easel that Barbee, the cele-
brated sculptor who gave Baltimore "The
Fisher Girl," received his first inspiration.
Why send away from home for oil paint-
ing when we have the best talent here?
Greensboro, N. C, May 16, 188S.
D. F. Caldwell, Esq.,
Greensboro, N. C. : —
Dear Sir: I did not have the pleasure
of examining the oil portrait of General
Nathanael Greene, presented by you to
the Guilford Battle-Ground Company,
until yesterday. I desire to thank you
in behalf of the Company for this valua-
ble donation, and express to you my ad-
miration for the picture as a work of art.
The likeness is fine, and the execution is,
in my opinion, most excellent.
The portrait shall have the most con-
spicuous place I can give it in the Lodge.
Very respectfully,
D. Schenck,
President Guilford Battle-Ground Co.
The above is very complimentary to our
townsman, Mr. D. L. Clark, who painted
the portrait referred to. — Enterprise.
