Past And Future.
There" is no disputing the fact
that iri the year which has just
ended Carteret county made a
very considerable advance in its
development. " The record is
here to speak for itselfand while
it is not as good as we desi re,
yet upon the whole it is satis
factory. .
A sure barometer that the bu
siness of the county is on the in
crease is to be found in the de
posits ipi the five banks that
serve the people. Ever one of
these institutions shows a sub
stantial. increase in bnsiness and
some of them have made treman
dous gains. - The banks could
not grow unless the people cannot
put it there unless they are mak-
ing more.
We jiave no; exact figures at
hand but we belive that the big
jest growth iu the past year has
been the farming industry of the
county.. The " high prices that
cotton and tobacco have .brought
hsve been the main , element iii
the farmers' prosperity although
other products like corn, pota
. toes and live stock have also
cohtributed.
The menhaden fishing this
year has proved a disappoint
ment but' the catch of food fish
has been large and has; bee i of
great value to tUr pe"p'e- There
are not many man-ifactuiintr
concerns in the cour-ty excent
the fish scrap and oil fcctories
but the ones that are tere liavi
in the main done very-well..
The outlook for ano'her yea
looks encouraging. The ywng
men are all back from war.
Work is plentiful and wsges
are high. Farm prod;ic s will
probably be high ajiin. ,Tner
are, many houses to be bu I,
roads to be constu:te1, cops to
be cultivated ?nd fish to be
caught. The only thing needed
is "the win to win" as the Ger
mans used to sn.y, If we , have
that we rai get oir-share of
the prosperity whic l . will prob
ably sweep over the country
this year. Lets do it.

of or hope for any. thing better
for Carteret county during the
year now 'beginning than the
