C tages Presented to the Capitalist, the Manufacturer and the Artisan. EVERY MORGANTON is one of the leading cities in Western North Carolina and the county seat of Burke county. It contains about four (4,000) thou sand inhabitants. " Some thirteen (13) years ago, the State authori ties, recognizing the convenient and accessible location, the health ful and salubrious climate of this truly delightful mountain city, de cided to establish the Western Division of the Hospital for the Insane within its borders. So a beautiful rolling plat of ground, containing something moxe than six (600) hundred acres, was pur chased in the southeastern con fines of the city, and a handsome, brick, stone and iron fireproof building was erected thereon, ad ditions having been made to it from time to time, as required by the exigencies of the institution, until now it is one of the most complete hospitals (for the insane) in this country.

L. Murphy, eloquently speak for themselves in most gratifying results, the num ber of patients annually discharged (cured) being unprecedented. The State has also within the past three years established here a School for the Deaf and Dumb, the build ings being commodious and im posing structures, of the same ma terial and stvle as that of the In sane Hospital, the institution be ing most ably and satisfactorily conducted by its efficient and pop ular superintendent, Prof. E. McK. Goodwin. The number of people connected with, these two estab ments, including patients, attend ants and their families, aggregate fifteen (1500) hundred souls (these not being included in the regular population of the city), and the Flour, Meal, Bacon, Hams, Lard, Sugar, Coffee, Rice, Molasses, Kerosene Oil, j Canned Goods, Cheese I and Crackers, Cakes and Candies, Fruits, etc., and COUNTRY - PRODUCE -GO TO- T. L HEMPHILL (One Door Below Postoffice.) of North Carolina's health depart ment would not have invested so much of the Commonwealth's funds, and located two such im portant branches of her benevo lence here had not the climate and surroundings been-of the highest value as curative agents ; and not only is this a perfect paradise for invalids, but for all those in search of pleasure, and diversion as well. The surrounding Country abounds in majestic mountain scenery, magnificent streams, gushing, vigor-dealing springs bursting forth from the living rock all be ing accessible by well-kept turn- Dikes and beautiful drives. The city is amply provided with good hotels and elegant private board ing houses; also with every ac commodation in the way ot livery and stylish turnouts, and living expenses are surprisingly moder ate. The climateis simply beyond compare possessing all the good elements of a pure, bracing moun tain air without its rigors. The water is unsurpassed, and any one suffering with lung or malarial affections should not fail to spend at least a portion of the summer here, and winter, too, for that mat ter. Morganton has an elevation of from twelve to fourteen (1200 to 1400) hundred feet, making the usual warm seasons most delight ully pleasant, while the winters are sutprisingly equable and tem perate. The Peopi Are for the most part direct de scendants of the sturdy Scotch, English and German colonists who first came to this (at that time) "Wilderness" from Pennsylvania4 Maryland and Virginia, augment ed by "bold spirits from the Scotch-Irish settlements on the Cape Fear river, in this State, and having early become imbued wfth a high sense of religious and end cational advantages, their benig nant influences have been felt 'and fostered through each succeeding generation, producing the present eminently pure, moral and Cultured Society Which is indeed second to none. Being elevated and properly exclu sive, there is no tendency to "snob bery," cordially and warmly re ceiving and entertaining all de serving of its hospitality. liarly fitting this for an extensive trucking centre. Here is an apro pos quotation from " The Hand Book of North Carolina" (page 46), prepared by the State Agri cultural Department: "The fact remains that within the limits of these frost belts fruits never fail, and at the height of 1,500 to 2,000 feet (hoar) irost never falls.

Corn, wheat, oats and rye yield in Burke county a good return to the planter, the first mentioned grain growing in the rich, loamy soil along the streams almost as it does on the fresh prairie lands of the Northwest, and having immu- ceedingly rich, almost every vari ety of ore and gems existing in more or less abunance. Chief among them, gold, in extensive and most accessible deposits, mon azite, diamonds, aquamarines, ru bies, amethysts, zircons, agates and garrets, both crystal and massive, are found, the latter in such abun- future will witness a wonderful development in that field. Touch ing lightly upon the timber re sources, we will slate that one (5) third of the county's area, 620 square miles, is still virgin forests, and consists mostly of oak, hick ory, poplar and yellow pine ; with white pine, chestnut, maple, locust. birch and other hardwood in the mountains. There are strips of fir. trees along the higher moun tain streams, and in some sections wild cherry, mountain mahogony, black walnut and giant sycamore trees; also the rock chestnut-oak, so valuable for its tan bark, is found on all mountain sides. The water power , is unlimited. Strictly speaking, Burke county is not a M Sportsman's Paradise," but game is still sufficiently - in evidence" to afford keen enjoy ment either with gun or rod, there being good quail shooting, ducks arid grey squirrels in season, while in the mountains can be found wild turkeys, ruffed grouse, deer and black bear in sufficient num ber to make the hunting "interest tig." The streams are a-ive with the finny tribes, mountain trout being very plentiful. Morganton has, in addition to a progressive, up to-date set of ov r chants, the largest steam tannery in the South, a cotton factory, a smoking tobacco factory, roller mill, two newspapers and. one of the most modern and best equipped book and job piinting establish ments in the State, woodworking and building supply mills, a model telephone system, one of the best electric light plants in the country, paved streets, a, good sound bank, a progressive land and improvement company, six ele gant churches, three female and two male schools, Masonic and Pythian lodges, an immense hos pital for the insane, a school for bachelor, but nothing is guaran teed to the latter.
