Colonial Records.
It is understood that our efficient
and highly esteemed Secretary of
State, Col. W. L. Saunders. has about
finished the Colonial records of North
Carolina, and the copy is now in the
hands of the publishers. The task
has been no doubt a very arduous
one, but it goes without saying that
it has been most admirably done. In
the execution of this much desired
work, Col. Saunders has not only
"done the State some service," but
has added to his already extended
fame for literary work and historic
research. The records will be a most
valuable addition to ,thej History of
the Old North State, which, it must
be admitted has heretotore been sad
ly neglected.

and other magazines $800 down to
$100, A yearly advertisement in one

$26,564 for the lowest and $85,000 for
theAhighest; in the New York Herald
$38,204 is the lowest and $130,000 for
