dispassionate ligujes, and not in

may be that many of our own citi

way of iheir daily life, are ignorant
of the immense resources of this sec

wealth and energy of modern times
We hope lhat the intelligent men ot

are of huge capacity. They have

timated, that adding the numerou
saw mills a little distance from New
Berne, over one hundred million fe t
of lumber are shipped as the outcome
of this industry, embracing all sorts
of lumber peculiar to our soil, taking
the place of the depleted white pine

there was an annual importation

mention our numerous facilities for
making and furnishing boxes for
truckers, calling for material and
skilled labor, and securing employ

through many weeks of ttu year.
Andlat,t, but not least, I might men
tion our recently established knitting
factory, which though established on
a small scale, bids fair to increase
and develope, bringing profits to its
projectors and prosperity to the city.
