GLENOE $100,000 FARM
ON NEW RIVER, ONSLOW COUNTY.
What lt is Bemonstratinu as to tlie Possi
bilities of this Region as a Hay, Beef
and Butter Country, as "Well as for all
Kinds of Stor k: Progress of the Coun
try. Correspondence Newbern Journal.
A REJUVENATED FIELD.
The Glenoe Stock Farm, owned
and operated by Thos, A. Mcln
tyre, Esq., of New York Produce
Exchange, is one of the show
places of Tidewater, North Car
olina. Located on a high wooded
bluff on New River, Onslow
county, and commanding nearly
two miles of picturesque water
front, it is at all times a conspic
uous object of interest, not only
because of its aesthetic beauty,
but because it is a living demon
stration of what our "old fields"
are capable of when resuscitated
and intelligently treated, and it
stands out as a declaration of
faith in the traditions of the
fathers.
ITS INFLUENCE.
It is of record that before the
war the South did some surpris
ing things in raising racehorses,
thoroughbred cattle and grasses,
but the world has forgotten it,
The present generation has run
after strange illusions, and our
people have now to be converted
and reanimated. Already the
State has instituted an Agricul
tural Experiment Station in par
ity with other advanced States,
which is dispensing tbe gospel
of correct methods and stimulat
ing those industries which "Bust
profit the investor; a Dairyman's
Association has been formed to
promote the establishment of
creameries and cheese factories
after the pattern of Minnesota
and Vermont, and progressive
ranchmen propose to repeat here
in North Carolina the successes
of Colorado and Texas in estab
lishing good strains of beef cat
tle and caring for them on eco
nomic principles.
Unquestionably, individuals in
isolated parts of the State have
done praiseworthy achievements
in cheeze-making, and bettering
the grade of butter; but private
daries do not benefit communi
ties like co-operative creameries,
which same are worth 8, 000, 000
a year to Minnesota alone. Nev
ertheless before the public is
ready and willing to accept the
boon of remunerative industries
which sagacious economists can
offer them, much pioneer mis
sionary work has to be done in
preparing the way and making
the hidden paths plain. And for
this reason the advanced efforts
of such shrewd financiers as Mr.
Mclntyre became invaluable to
laymen by inspiring confidence,
and stimulating the great work
of recuperation and self-sustenance.
When operators like him
are willing to place their invest
ments in the tide-water seclion of
North Carolina, no matter from
what personal motive, whether
for scientific experiment or pure
emolument, others who have
been wavering and mistrustful
will be influenced by his judg
ment.
RESULTS showing:
Indeed, the effect of his mag
nificent work of Glenoe, already
involving an expenditure of over
100,000, has been to draw .many
investors and much capital to the
vicinity of New Kiver. An im
mense sawmill plant operated by
the Eccleston Lumber Company,
has been located at Jacksonville,
the county seat of Onslow, which
lies at the head of navigation,
and all along the shores of this
beautiful estuary, villas and club
houses have tasen possession of
advantageous sites. A pier 652
feet long, with capacious ware
house, has been erected at
Moor's Landing for the accom
modation of river traffic, as well
as at Marines, some miles below,
connecting with a six-mile spar
of the Wilmington, Newbern &
Norfolk railway. Important fish
ing interests, long neglected,
have been reinstated, and gov
ernment improvements have been
pushed at various points.
Trame has grown to propor
tions "which command the unre
mitting services of several tug
boats and a commodious passen
ger steamer, whose frequent
employment is to convey Sunday
School picnics of two hundred or
more members to aesthetic spots,
where the charms ot nature are
dominant, and the Glenoe Stock
Farm is always a favorite objec
tive point. So also in frequent
quest is Wallace Creek, directly
opposite, a lovely estate of 800
acres, survivor of the anti-bellum
regime, which, with its aristo
cratic, though somewhat faded
mansion, numerous outbuildings,
shaded avenues, lawns, etc.,
may be permitted to state, mci
dentally, stands for sale at the
absurdly low price of 10, 000.
Before the war its annual income
from agriculture, timber, fisher
ies, oysters, game, crabs, terra
pin and what not, is said to have
been $30,000.
NEW RIVER AND SURROUNDINGS-
New River is no marsh-lined,
red-bordered alligator creek, like
many streams on the Southern
seaboard, but an expansive estu
ary three miles wide at this point
with bold-wooded shores inter
rupted by occasional fresh water
creeks and umbrageous.promon-
tories, which successivsly unfold
to the enraptured gaze as the ex
cursionist proceeds. On calm
December days when the haze
and sunlight are upon the sur
face it recalls the opening view
in Cole's -'Vovage of Life," and
e region is healthy! The black
ish waters of the adjacent sounds
come up to mingle with the out
flow from the jumper greens, re
plenish diurnally by the ocean
tides which flow in through the
inlets, giving abundant food to
twenty kinds of fresh water fish.
shell fish and crustaceans. Weak
fish and shad swim in their re
spective seasons. Geese, brant,
ducks and other wild foul con-
the mouths of the
outlying estuaries. Deer and
wild turkeys arise in the timber.
Bears are the distress of farmers
by their nocturnal visitations to
the hog1 pens.
THE FARM ITSELF.
The approach to the Glenoe
r arm irom the river trout re
calls some features of Mount
Vernon on the Potomac, with its
pretty waterside pier, stoam
launch, pleasure boats, cosy
waiting house, flight of 100 steps
surmounting the wooded heights,
aud carriage road winding by
srraded ascent through a natural
len. As one proceeds toward
the manor house by shaded walls,
a goose pond with wire inclosure,
a deer paddock, rustic seats and
bridges ornamental shrubbery,
vases, statuary, a bowling alley,
exotic plants and other aesthetic
accessories successively divide
the interest; and arriying at the
level of the high plateau, one
has only to glance toward the
vistas which open and the roads
which ramity and disappear in
various directions, to discover
that he has only reached the por
tal of the magnificent estate,
which spreads over two thous
and acres of cleared land and
timber, its clustering tenement
houses, barns, stables, dog ken
nels, poultry houses, exercising
yards, etc., suggesting lavish ex
penditure for pleasure, profit
and emolument. In the carriage
house we find every description
of vehicles, from a road sulky to
a tally-ho coach, and from the
mam stable a graded thorough
fare leads out to a half-mile ex
ercising track.with judges' stand.
Of course the establishment
does not difler in its general fea
tures from like establishments
the country over. There is a
general superintendent, Rev. L.
A. Guy, who is under the direc
tion of Mr. Mclntyre and his
efficient coadjutor, H. A. Whit
ing, of Wilmington, and there are
division overseers of the horse
and cattle, poultry, dairy and
general farm departments. In
the stables are 30 thoroughbred
mares; with Wiseman, stallion
regnant; imported premium Jack,
Monarch. Holstein-Friesland bull
King Clothilide Netherland, and
Dorset ram, Duke of Thorndale,
are chiet in their respective
classes, and much excellent ser
vice are they doing the country
at large by improving the breeds.
In the poultry yards are Mongol
ian and English pheasants,
bronze turkeys and Pekin ducks.
In the hall of the manor house
is a stuffed alligator 11 feet long,
a saurian captured on the prem
ises and "to the manner born."
WHAT IT HAS DEMONSTRATED.
Although Turf, Field and Farm
has been printed weekly for 30
consecutive years, I feel that my
brief outline of a gentleman's
estate will not seem trite or tire
some to its readers. To South
ern agriculturists and stock rais
ers, who have long been looking
for the fulfillment of the promise,
the 1 iteration will be pleasing.
It will inspire renewed assurance
and hope. In the course of three
years only Mr. Mclntyre has
demonstrated on his own prem
ises (long ago impoverished by
the overtaxing of its vital forces)
that grass can be grown, hay
made, beef raised and good
creamery butter produced in Tide
water, North Carolina. He has
ascertained by practical test that
thoroughbred cattle will thrive
in this climate, and that the
requisite standard of 3 per cent,
of butter fat for homebred milch
cows can be reached. With this
showing there is an outlook for
co-operative creameries in this
section. I believe that they will
eventually become here a saving
factor in our industrial economy.
- Mr. Mclntyre is tLe President
and Mr. Whiting the General
Manager of the Wilmington,
Newbern & Norfolk railroad,
whose construction and comple
tion : J uly before last, has been
mainly due to their efforts, lia
true agricultural . dispensation
can be obtain, the interests of
that railroad must bo materially
advanced. Added r the cotton
mill at Newbern, which some be
lieve to be a guaranteed fact, the
side door of our prosperity will
stand wide open.
I consider the success of the
Glenoe Stock Farm to be an earn
est of the speedy restoration to
the South of its ante-bellum pre
eminence as a wealth-producing
section, as fully set forth in Kit
telFs exhaustive treatise pub
lished just as the war broke out
entitled "Southern Wealth and
Northern Profits," the title in it
self being sufficiently explicit as
to the commercial and industrial
status at that eventful period..

GRIFFIN-SMITII.
The Marriage of Two of Goldsboro's Most
Popular Young People in the Presbyte
rian Church Yesterday at Noon: A
Beautiful Ceremony.
The beautiful Presbyterian
church was a scene of entranc
ing loveliness yesterday and was
thronged to its fullest capaci
ty with the elite of our commu
nity, the occasion being the mar
riage of Miss Margaret, elder
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H.
Smith,. to Mr. BroadusH. Griffin,
the popular young propietor
of the Hotel Kennon.
The time for the ceremony was
appointed for 12.30 o'clock, but
long before that hour the gath
ering throng had filled the
church, thereby attesting the
general interest that was taken
in the happy event.
The light from the brilliant
windows was mellowed by soft
curtains, and the chancel was
richly decorated in s my lax, trail
ing vines, and ferns, while a pro
fuse cluster of pink roses and
white carnations formed a centre
piece and held the admiration of
all eyes.
The ushers were Messrs. E.
B. Dewey, Geo. C. Royall, Leslie
Southerland and Charlie Edger
ton. In the choir were Mrs. Arnold
Borden, Mrs. Geo. C. , Royall,
Miss Lizzie Kirby, Miss Mary
Gage Walton and Miss Sara Far
ries, and the organ was presided
over by Mrs. F. W. Farries.
When the bridal party arrived
and as they approached the chan
cel, the choir sang in exquisite
symphony of voices Lohengrin's
beautiful "Wedding March" As
they sang the officiating minis
ter, Rev. F. W. Farries, led the
wyay up the left side aisle: then
came the bridesmaids up the
right and left aisles, respectively:
Miss Barbara Isler, pink satin,
chiffon and lace; Miss Julia Cas
tex, pink satin, chiffon; Miss
Anna Privett, pink taffeta, satin
dot, chiffon; Miss Mattie Lee,
pink taffeta, satin-dot. All the
bridesmaids wore Gainsborough
hats, with pink roses and white
feathers and carried La France
roses in their hands, vv hen these
had taken their places at the foot
of the chancel, the bride ap
proached up the left aisle lean
ing upon the arm of her first
maid, her younger sister. Miss
Daisy Smith, who was attired in
white taffeta silk, chiffon, and
carried Marshal Niel roses. The
bride was richly attired in white
engalene silk, with satm-dot,
chiffon and diamonds and carried
a beautiful bouquet of Bide's
Roses. As she slowly approach
ed, the groom with his "best
man", Mr. "E. B. Borden, Jr.,
walked abreast up the opposite
aisle, and the two met before the
waiting minister, who, in a rich,
full voice, while the soft notes of
the organ floated through the ed
ifice, began the marriage service
with counsel and prayer, and
spoke the words that locked their
lives eternally together and made
them one.
The ceremony over the bridal
party repaired to the home of
the bride, where a delightful re
past was served, and at 2 o'clock
the happy young couple, amidst
a throng of friends and showers
of good wishes took, the South
ern train for a trip to Atlanta.
Jacksonville, St. Augustine and
the Mardi Gras.
The Argus joins with their
hosts of friends in wishing them
the fullest possible measure of
life's joys and prosperity.
Greensboro Record : Miss Min
nie Frazier, sister of our W. L.
Frazier, who has been visiting
in North Carolina for some weeks,
left this morning for her home in
Diamond, Washington. She will
stop in Wisconsin for some days,
visiting her sister.
Wilmington Star : A letter was
received in this cily yesterday
from Rev. Jno. B. Gibble, for
merly pastor of the Church of
the Gaod Shepherd, announcing
that, he had arrived in Dennison,
Texas, and taken charge of St.
Luke's P. E. Church there.
Ashevill Citizen : The first
straw hat of 1895 was seen on the
head of a man on Patton avenue
this morning. The suddenness
of the thing was so startling that
several who saw it came near
freezing with astonishment, and
a high building shook a cart load
of snow off one its cornices.
THE RADICAL LEGISLATURE.
What a fine kettle of fish is
now cooking at Raleigh, and the
Chief, Butler, is managing to get
up a party row over it. The re
ports from the constant caucus
ing, and the strong antagonisms
springing up show that all is not
serene, and that "the best laid
plans" of the Radical leaders are
on the eve of a burst up unless
the "cohesive power of public
plunder" "or some other equally
potent persuasive can be brought
to bear.
"The earth hath bubbles, as the water
has,
And these are of them,"
perhaps, and in spite of bitter
ness and denunciations the Radi
cal band may hold together un
til the last hour comes.
But was not that plain and
healthy talking that Ewart, Camp
bell, Lusk and others gave the
Big Boss, the newly elected Sen
ator, for his bravado and dicta
torial spirit and "cumulative"
abuse of the recalcitrants who
are disposed to do a little think
ing for themselves and to vote
without fear of the lash. But all
this will end in indignant talk,
and the whole tribe will be coo
ing and billing again as if no
offence had ccme and no gall had
been touched. It was entertain
ing reading and the plain talk
was hopeful of better things.
But these family jars and this
washing of foul cotton (linen is
not with the hands) under the
noses of the gallery will not pre
vent the carrying out of much
unjust, dangerous, unfortunate
legislation The State of North
Carolina will breathe freer
when the adjournment takes
place and the last of the incapa
bilities who have been prancinsr
before the footlights as "refawm
ers" has gone to his home and it
can be said of the halls of legis
lation that the places that knew
them shall know them no more
forever. It will be a time for
gratulation and thanksgiving, al
though the State has received a
bloWj from which it will not re
cover in a decade.
The "cumulative" voting is so
deeply cherished by the more
fanatical wing of the Radicals
and they are so pertinacious for
this refinement of unadulterated
crankism, that the "fire-tried"
wing may yield, and the electors
can cast five votes for Pompey
Smash for county commissioner.
The cranks go to work to bring
ruin upon the negro counties,
and then try to break the force
of the devilment by the silly sys
tem of giving five votes to Jede
diah Nincompoop as if that could
really protect the white tax-payers
from being wronged and
plundered. It is like taking a
grain of calomel and throwing it
into the Atlantic Ocean, and dip
ping up a dipper of water from
it administering ten drops to a
poor fellow suffering the pains
of a torpid, constricted liver. It
is pitiable and pitiless tomfoolery
unworthy of any man with souse
enough to keep out of the fire.
What pleasant, spicey reading
is the speech of Mr. Henderson.
When he rubbed in the cayenne
season into the bleeding wounds
of the son of the eminent Pear
son of an "exhausted Judiciary
memory," it must have made the
aspiring Nabob wriggle and
squirm. "My, My!" How direct

FOR MINISTER TO MEXICO.
Senator Ransom is Urged for the Appoint
ment as the Spontaneous and I lianimouh
Choice of His Democratic Colleagues In
the 15. S. Senate.
By the death of Ex-Governor
Isaac P. Gray,of Indiana, United
States Minister to Mexico, which
occurred at the City of Mexico
last Thursday night, of pneu
monia, a very disirable diplomatic
position is made vacant, and it is
exceedingly gratifying to The
Argus to see that North Caroli
na's distinguished son and peer
less statesman Hon. Matt. W.
Ransom is being urged for the
place by the entire Democratic
contingent of the United States
Senate.
Many Republican Senators,
also, endorse Senator Ransom,
and the President will be re
quested to give him the appoint
ment. The Washington Post of yes
terday, in speaking of this move
ment, says :
"The universal commendation
given to the suggestion of Sena
tor Ransom's appointment is an
evidence of the popularity and
esteem in which he is held in the
Senate. It is asserted in his be
half that his courtly manners,
his dignified bearing and his long
experience with diplomatic and
commercial legislation admirably
fit him for the mission at Mex
ico. His term expires on the
fourth of March.
"He has been a steadfast friend
of the President in the Senate,
even going to the extent of vot
ing for the repeal of the Sner-
man silver purchasing law
ag-ainst the sentiment ol his
State, and it is said that his se
lection would go far toward re
moving the triction which now
exists between some of the Dem
ocrats in the Senate and the Pres
ident."
The Post has, in the above.
paid a graceful but deserved tri
bute to the most unselfish states
man of the age, and one who has
ever reflected credit upon North
Carolina, and has been an honor
to America.
In the last campaign in this
State, amidst all the conflicting
issues and unseemly personal
campaigning, Senator Ransom
bore himself without reproach.
without a single effort, by word
or action, to.advance himself, but,
from the mountains to the sea,
from the Roanoke to the Cape
Fear, day after day, and often at
night, his voice was heard ad
vocating the principles of Dem
ocracy and urging the people to
stand by the preceots and vote
for the party that was the salva
tion of the country and its hope
for the future. And this was not
all; he gave of his means liber-
allv too liberally in justice to
himself but he gave willingly.
even as he grave his life to his
country in war for her defence,
and during all the rolling years j
between, from the day he wrested i
the writ of Habeas Corpus now
passed into history, to the pres
ent hour his time and his abilities,
have been devoted to the service
of his people and the welfare of
his State.
Here We Go.
The Charleston Neics & Courier
wisely holds up Georgia as a mod
el and in spiration to South Caro
lina. In its last issue the organ
says :
One new industry leads to
another. The farmers in south-
n Georgia introduced the
business of raising pork; their
town neighbors are going into
the business of packing it for
market. The Albany Herald says:
Valdosta has started a pork-
packing establishment which has
bargained for 3,000 fat hogs
to be delivered next season.
They will be supplied by farm-
ers
within a radius cf eight miles.
The price to be paid is three to
four cents gross. The Valdosta
Times estimates that the - 3,000
hogs will average zuu pounds
each and that at three and a half
cents a pound they will bring the
farmers in money not less than
$21,000. The raising of the hogs
will involve very little additional
expense on the part of the farm
ers, so that the cash they receive
for them will be much extra

The Issue Will Come.
Mr. Matthew Marshall, the
able and forcible financial editor
of the New York Sun, in a re
cent condensed article condenses
the financial outlook. If it is a
correct diagnosis as a nation will
soon begin a journey that will
take us out of -the wilderness of
doubt that engulfs the country.
Mr. Matthews says the govern
ment revenues promise hence
forth to equal its expenditures,
and possibly may somewhat ex
ceed them. Consequently all the
legal tenders hereafter redeemed
by the Treasury will be locked
up and temporarily retired. If
more of them are presented for
redemption than the gold on
hand suffice to redeem, another
issue of bonds like this last one
will have to be made, and another
and another until the whole
$500,000,000 of legal tenders have
been redeemed. If this does not
suffice to prevent gold exports,
