Th Pantego and Albemarle rail road jthat is: rapidly undergoing completion toiler the exclusive control and management) of the Juo. I.

The boundary .line of this road and Its fiiit terminus point Degius at Lee Mills, Washington county, and its 'terminus for this county will be at the head of Dowry Creek, near the tdwn ot Pantego. I am strong ly impressed with the belief that tow rpaa win murwOTuo this section, and a near 1 U V V v - line of travel to Plymouth. 1 f aome Philalelphia king would only come downjahd build one that . would cost $200,000,. direct line irom "Washing ton td Fairfield, Hyde county, and a branch line from Yeatesville to the extieme end of Wades Point, then both townships would be a trucking section, and the lands wouldf enhance in value to three or lour hundred dollars per acre.

Indeed, there is no place more admirably selected for a town in Eastern North Carolina than this no place more pleasant to live-in and no where nature was more Careful as regards the sanita ry conditions. Situated as it is, on a beautiful body of water where Pantego aud Pun go creeks empty into Pungo river "from the west to the east with three or more creeks empty ing in from the north, the main river to the south, forming a quad rangular Bay, and only ten miles from Pamlico Sound.1 ' r.

This is a question Inat Is at onee suggested by reading the abjwe heading of this paper.'and a question very few take the- trouble to answer. Most of the farmers who take stock and produce to the shows take them for the purpose of trying to win the prize, and also to ,et nei hborg -what they have got. 'Show day is the time for the far mers to get information concern ing their business. Whose fault is it that our exhi bitions are not more educational to the farmers?

They will see pattern oi fancv work that they can look at and copy when they get home, or they can see some nice way of put ting up fruiter perhaps get in a chat with some exhibitor of butter they may learn of a . better way of treating their cream to make good butter. There are many oth er ways that the family may be ed ucated at the exhibition.

Let the farmer keep his eyes open wheu he attends the exhibitions, and be ou the alert for everything Jhat will promote bis cause. If be will do this aud then make of what he hears and sees, he will receive an education that will be of more value to him tbanilver and gold, for no one can take it away. For these reasons tjie h ad of the family should allow the wife sent and daughters to attend the annual and let them learn - some thing that will be of advantage to the farmer boy and will aid the wife and girls in beautifying their own homes. The farmer that r. fuses to allow his family to go to the Annual State Fair because it costs a little money is doing him self, bis children and the comma mty in which he resides an injus - tice; for be keeps knowledge and information from them that will el vate them in every way and through their elevation the section in which they live is benefitted.
