A WORD TO THE
WISE IS SUFFICIENT.
This Section Well Adapted to Cattle Rilslor.
Virrlala Dealers Baylor and Shis.
plot Cattle Pron Wllmlorton.
Eastern North Carolina is well adap
ted to cattle raising, and our farmers
have sufficient encouragement to go
into tne business from the fact that
there is a constant and growing de
mand for cattle in this section.
ine rarmers in the eastern counties
even now are raising more cattle than
one might suppose, and no doubt it
will be surprising to many of our peo
ple to know that Wilmington is get
ting to be quite a cattle shipping point.
Messrs. J. W. Huff and C. D. Dicker
son, of Harrisonburg, Va., have made
several trips here and have shipped
about 4.000 cattle which they picked
up in the surrounding counties. Yes
terday they shipped three car loads of
cattle from this city.
Mr. Hoff was seen by a Stab repor
ter at the Bonits House last night, and
he stated that he finds that splendid
cattle are raised in this part of North
Carolina. He is an experienced stock
man and while at Raleigh a few years
ago, caught on to the fact from seeing a
lot of cattle that was "sent there from
Sampson county. He immediately
determined to get his cattle suddIv
here, and says the only difficulty is he
can't get enough of them. He states
that it is all a mistake to suppose one
must go to the mountains to get good
cattle and says the farmers of Eastern
North Carolina, witk their mild cli
mate and unequalled pasturing for the
greater part of the year, have a spien
did opportunity to engage in a profit
able industry in raising cattle for the
markets.
A word to the wise is sufficient

First Visit to Wilmisrton.

lily, Currituck county, N. C, arrived
in Wilmington yesterday on his first
visit to our city. He is accompanied
by his son, Mr. E. A. Hampton and
Mr. Thomas Taylor, also of Currituck.
They have come down to look into the
oyster, fish and game resources of this
section and will visit New River,
Wrigbtaville, Southport and other
places on pur coast.
The Stab has already noticed that
the fish and oyster resources around
Wilmington are attracting the atten
tion of people in Virginia, several fish
and oyster men having visited Wil
mington recently.
Capt Hampton is an old sailor and
has been engaged in the coasting trade
but singular to relate, he never came
to Wilmington before.

Ei. Mintz, a young white man, was
tried in Justice McGowan's court yes
terday for assault and battery, for
which be was fined (10. The case was
attended by rather unusual circum
stances from the fact that the defen
dant, was charged with the assault
growing out of the impersonation of
an officer. It was adduced fro xi the
evidence that Mintz placed under ar
rest a white carpenter named Cum
ming and subsequently released him
upen the payment of si bill of $1 15,
which he' came to collect in the per-
etr ptory manner describe J. It devrl
oped that the defendant was not a de
