The for est trees, have given names to towns and cities, they have orna mented streets, they have typified the "resting under the trees," as the heavenly rest, which occupied Stone wall Jackson's dying hour. New Haven is known as the "Elm City town; Raleigh, N. C, as the "City of Oaks' and for long years the Economist has tried to give Elizabeth City, N. C, the 'pet name of the "Pevan City,' and we fear wo will die without accomplishing it. There is going the rounds of the press now in North Carolina a statement of the towns in the State in which the po- can'is found. Elizabeth City, Wil mington, Henderson and Charlotte are enumerated as towns in which the pecan is found. Strange to say the town in North Carolina in which the pecan was first introduced is not mentioned among thm. Eden ton was the first town id North Car olina in which the pecan was intro duced. In'company with Col. Paine, of Edenton, we set .out the nrst pecan tree, in J8C6.

Shrubs crow into trees and wild vines assume a luxuriance and grandeur that over tops the giants of the forest. We are pained to learn of the death of Mis. C. C. Green, relict of the late C. C.
