There isn't any vast amount of money realized from the fur business in Brunswick because down here, where the winters are comparatively mild and pleasant, the furs on the animals 'aren't" as heavy and as good as they are further North. In this section, there are two kinds of squirrels?the gray squirrel and the fox squirrel. Of course that's not mentioning the flying squirrel such as can be found in abundance in this area. When it comes to foxes, there are gray and red foxes roaming the jungles of this county. Bears, represent the county's most ferocious animal though hardly any more ferocious than a buck deer if you get one cornered.

This was at a place near Wilmington, and so far as we could see from the road, it did no damage." At any time during the past few years it would have been a difficult matter to drive for even a short distance anywhere in Brunswick, without actually seeing disastrous fires burning through woodlands.
