For her southern boundary, one of the lovliest sheets of water on. the South Atlantic coast, for her western, a spark ling, limpid creek named in honor of Englanl's stern queen, Elisabeth a creek whose banks abound in sylvan dells and fairy-like nooks, and on whose I its erection, could we have the same af lssy, laughing waters lilies danoe in faction for as the old pile, from whose . j w d o j " j great profusion ; for her eastejrn, anoth - er sparkling stream named after another of England's rulers-i-Qoeen Ann- whieh pours its accumulation; of waters by way of pretty identon bay, to mix with the sterner wanes or Albemarle sound. Thus favorably situated, you will find Eden ton, the county seat of CEowan oounty, a little city rich in her history, wealthy in the retention of her old landmarks, and doubly fortunate in her pastoral beauty and picturesque glimpses of land and water, for from her "oity wharf " thri eye of the spec tator overlooks ten , mills of Al bemarle's silver canned waves, as it rests upon the panorjjna of ; blue hills whioh form the opposite shore, and when he faces about 1 3 gain an inland vista he is rewarded with an uninterrup ted view of the fines avenue in the 8tate. for Main street his been laid out so renerouslv that it is wide enough to permit three lines of I majestic elms to J grow, and these I making the to nave none mron towsra amous. These trees are led by one whioh is more no ticoable by day and doubly attractive hv niirht. for it serves as a Iight-hcnse by which the mariner cau with safety navieate his bark iatol this favored port, and as he walks up tho shaded "boule vard" he is not disappointed, for one block brings him to ; BOSH PALACX, . a giant looking structure which was framed in England aad erected upon its resent site in 1758. Opposite this monument of another century stands I till another old struc.aro, in which it claimed that the ladie i of colonial Eden ton gathered and resolved not to drink another cup of tea until the tax imposed bv Great Britain should bo repealed. From here he parses a uumnor oi iauiy eonstructed modern h business houses and then a number of protty cottages. Then he is onoe mora ooutronted by a relic of another age. This time it is "OLD ST. PAUL CHURCU, the venerable walls f which are con structed of brick imbOrtod i from Ecg land many years before the, war tor in dependence. This noble edifice is situ ated in the centre of a ptetty ohuroh yard, in whioh repose some jof the onoe leading men and women of th State; and that they were loved by tnoso that . a . i . a knew them best is well attested by the mauv ieautuul and attractive monu ments that mark their last resting pUoe It is with regret that the stranger turns! away from this s'rect of quiet beauty, but there is muca; nore to see in this museum-like little oity. and prominent among thjem stands This grand Old land-mars, wuion nas - .....! wju, trim TUB OLD OODXT BOCP served as a day beacon for the mariner for over a hundred years, not only con- tuns, I am informed, the oldest Masonic lodge room in the State, but also the identioal chair occupied by our il lustrious first president, when grand master. Even to the stranger not ac quainted with its history this building has anything but a common place ap pear an oe: fcr its present elevation, crowned by a well proportioned cupola, has often been pronounoed by compe tent judges an architectural study v or thy of the placa and surroundings; but to him who realises that it was used both as a provifioial and State oapitol building it is a study of still more interest. In front of this, North Carolina's meat historic builditg, it the square laid out by the wise fore fathers, who planned this ideal village for a "public green." There are no studied walks, classic statuary, or murmuring fount aits in this little park, but the grasj looks a brighter greenjthan that farther in land, and an air of quiet and peace prevails which readily turns one into a day-dreamer, aad as he looks out upon the magnificent stretch of water whioh lies at his feet, he cannot help but think that he is standing upon the "stretch" where the 'ancient fisher men "were wont ' to repair their nets, and as the shades of 'eve dim the outlines of the distant hilLs and nearer court house, fantastic shapes whioh assume the forms of peo ple of another age seem to arise, and he can can easily imagine that he has drifted back to the powdered wigs and knee breeches of the colonial age. This town is also happy in her hotel accommodations, the tourist having thl ohoiee of two well kept taverns The oldtst is known as the Woodland House, and-e'jjs the enviable reputation of having been "run" sinee 1750, and the still more enviable reputation of having always been well kept. The other hotel, known as the Bayview, is a more mod ern structure, but covers every inch of the Bite of the Kings Arm, an ancient tavern of anti-revolutionary reputation. Thus beautifully situated between nor two queenly named ereeks, Eden ton, at calmly as her peer less bay in fair weather, rolls year after year into the immeasurable depth of time, with nothing to disturb her equanimity except when the death of some distinguished or loved oi tix on is announced. But this only causes a gentle ripple, fjr the reli gious and good people content them selves by saying, "It is as lie who made us all willed it." The body with solemn ceremony is entombed, aud the eity of the dead, so solemnly situated around the staunch wails of "Did St. PaulV church, increases at the expense of living Eden ton. come may say that it is too bad that capital and enterprise do not find their way into lis time-nouorea Dounusues, but I think in this otse the hand of the usual improvement would be uhfortu nate, for what modern store house placed on its site could cope in interest or at traction for the stranger, with the eu- pola-capped palace of royal governor Eien T I What stately eourt house, built atuoe i f , . 1 doorway the stentorian voice of eourt criers have been heard for a hundred I years as they summoned jurors and wit- nesses before judges too numerous to mention.

I Paul's as it stands: its sged walls col- ored "as time only can color, like a sentinel over the dead, and giving c in solation to the living. Dor these reasons I reiterate that what would improve this plaoe in the general acceptance of the term, would be a misfortune to both State and nthn.
