The incident -cited in tbis issue of the story of Lore and War on historic Roan oke Island is amply romantic to furnish a splended plot for some novelist. Dr. Q. K.

The prospects are that the Ne Berne Fair this year, will surpass all others in both attendance and merit of exhibit. The facilities for transportation have been largely augmented, and the energe tic President and Secretary of the Fatr hare not let up one hit in their en dearor to see that the Exhibition full v sustains its past reputation.

C. : est at the Kast t urelina Fair, wr.s shown us by Mr. Chas Iteionstein, Secretary or the Fair, v whom it was written, with out a thoug.it ol its neinjj given to t lie public. The letter is upon the favorable action of the North Carolina World's Fair exhibit authorities in reference to showing the most interesting portion of the States Chicago exhibit atthe Eat Carolina Fair. The letter is so admirable that by con sent of Mr. Reizenstein we copy it en tirely, and commend it not only for the facts given but for tb words of wisdom it contains regarding the social benefits of great ijatherings at Fair which in the multitude of other matters are sometime uot giveu the prauiioence iu the public mind that their importance deserves. Raleigh, N. C, Jan'y 10, 1894. Mb. Chas. Rxizkastetx. Secretary, &c, New Berne, N.C. My Dear Sir It greatly pleases me to gratity you with the information that the Executive Committee of the North Caro lina Board of Directors of the World's Fair has kindly consented to allow such part of the State exhibit, recently at cnicago, tnat would most interest our citizens generally to be exhibited at the next Fair of your Association. It w ill c under the charge of Mr. T. K. Bruner Secretary ot the Board and also of the Board of Asriculture of N. C, and will include gems, nuggets, marbles, build ing stone, woods anil the splendid collec tion of taxidermy work of fish animals and birds. Mr. Bruner will visit vou at Ne Berne previous to the date fixed for the open ing ot your fair, to make the Decessarv arrangement for tho proper display of the articles ot tbe state. He having nlled a similar position at the World's Fair so admirably and advaotaceously for those interested, there can be no doubt as to bis success at New Berne. Outside of the permanent and pecu niary benefit to those directly interested in tbe exhibition ot articles and stock at our Winter Fairs, do not the re-union ot friends on such occasions more than fully compensate lor the expense and inconvenience of attending tbem? Fairs from the earliest periods up to this time hare always txen noted as places for the interchange of friendly sentiments and feelings, as well as for the sale of stocks and wares of various kinds. Those at tending them never afterwards r.frret it and lookback upon tbe l'w days thus given as a happy episode in their life. The interchange too, of .business exper ience on such occasionsis of no little value and could uot otherwise be obtained. Then if our citizons would meet witnout a single article on exhibition, once a year it would do incalculable good, as it does for neighbors and frieods to meet and talk over their joys and troubles at stated periods, or when convenience will allow. But with a fuil list of articles to examine, instruct and interest, sufficient to pass hours in inspecting it makes us all feel better and fills us with pride for the success of ou; Fair ai.d of New Berne. We are confident our people will ap preciate highly the eflort in the past of those in charge of tbe State articles to aid in making the next, as excellent as the others have been, the most attractive ot all your winter Fairs preceding it But we have numberless articles in New Berne, if brought out, that would attract attention along side of those selected from the best elsewhere in the State. A com parison would prove it beyond question Uould you not induce the citizens ot New Berne to move in the matter ? Wherever we happen to go the winter fair is uppermost, and we believe the at tendance from abroad will be in excess of that heretofore there. Should not our citizens turn out en masse to meet them, and with that welcome, cordial welcome, which is so characteristic ot New Berne. Very Truly, Joirs D Whitfobd. Being among the earliest settled tions of the Slate, and by a people that have always been renowned for their learning and culture, New Berne and v raven counts' have nece?sanls' been ac corded a prominent place in bisters', and one that the present generation shoul.l honor and eminently feel proud of. Bnt it is not the past glories we svish to speak of now, it is our present position and future prospects Titl e KIN Too much import. in taclic 1 to the t ruck i developemrnt is the l.u. is bringing such getu r this section.

The price will be $1.50 until the opening of tbe Fair. After that $2.00 will be the charge and there will le no deviation from the rule with any lxdy on any pretext whatever. Fair season tickets for children under ten years of age will be on sale during the same time that those for adults are. Just half rates will be charged 75 cents f purchased previous to the opening of the Fair $1.00 during the holding ot the Fair. Due cotice has been given. Purchase tickets now and save inoiiev. sns have given net profits ot three four and five hundred doliars per acre, and total shipments run up to three quarters of a million dollar-, in a season. To move this crop in the height of the season re quires two and three long an.l heavily loaded 'rains besides the ivice "f two north: ni steamer lines- tun k steamers as well as trains run daily through the busy season. Among the largest and most promineut planters are Messrs. Hackburn it Willett, Wm. Dunn, Jos. L. Rhem, E. II. cb J. A. Meadows, V. II. Bray, Watson ife Daniels Halph Gray, I.ieut. A. .1. Veomans, and W". F. Crockett. SAW MILLS ASD HMH1.VISU. The lumber interest is also an import ant one. The output of New Berne mills is sixty million feet per annum. Many of the mills are of huge capacity svith dry kilns and planing mills attached and they use all the latest mechanical improve ments. Adding the output of the mills close to the cits to those that are here will run the output up to over a Hundred million feet. The bulk of what is handled is pine but we have abundant forests of tine oak and other woods well adapted to the manu facture of furniture and other articles. Over a hundred varieties of woods were exhibited at our last Fair from Craven courty alone. FISHISO INTERESTS Seventy varieties of edible fish can lie found in the New Berne markets, aud they are noted too, for their fine flavor. A hundred thousand dollars are the fig ures given as invested in the business at Morehead City, and the exports from both places are large enough to piesent surprisingly large figures. Thousands of dollars are paid monthly from the two points on tr nsportation charges alone and the fishing is fine on the whole North Carolina coast. 6,583 shad were stated to have leen caught at one haul "last season by Dr. W. R. Capehart at his Albermaile Sound fishery. This is good enough tor anywhere in the world. HUSTINO AND SPORT. G".ine around New Berne is plentiful. Many a sportsman has gone out this sea son and returned with a string of filty or more partridges, squirrels by the dozen or a good supply of nobler game. Deer afiord fine sport and those who like a little spice of danger nepd only penetrate the poco?ins a few miles and tackle the bears. We have had repeated items this winter ebout two, three and four hundred pound ones being killed. One party of northern sportsmen who visited our city early in the season, said thev were perfectly surprised at the abunelan":e and variety of our game. When they left they carried off with them as a trophy of their prowess as pretty a tour hundred pound bear as we ever saw and they report that four others svere in sight when they shot him. They svere so delighted that they soon returned and are still in the c'ty. General Remarks. Our numerous advantages arc causing property in this vicinity to be strongly appreciated. The adaptability of our soil to track crops, the mildnes of our cli mate owing to our proximity to the gulf stream, our conveniences of transportation by reason of being on two rivers anel having, two railroads with good service on all, our nearness to the sound?, our fishing oystering and lum lering resources combine to make this section one ot the most delightful and desirable locations on the whole Atlantic coast. A visit to the Carolina Fair commenc ing Feb 19th will give a good opportu nitv to investigate all thesa things.

HAY AND STOCK In Eastern North Carolina The Fine Adaptability of our Climate and Lands to Each Business. It appears strange that tbe value of the Eastern half of North Carolina, as a pro ducer oT hay and stock, should have been overlooked for so many years by our citi zens. It is with pleasure that vre note the cecent award of a gold medal oy the World's Columbian Exposition to Major R. S. Tucker of North Carolina, for the finest exhibit of wool, from his fine flock of Oxford-down sheep (a cross ot cots wold and southdown) raised on his Camp Mangum farm, near Raleigh. These sheep are thoroughbred and receive the best of attention, and are properly pastured, ted and housed, and they pay the owner a fine profit. The Major is considered one of the best aDd most successful and pros perous farmers in Wake county. He al nays has something to sell, and raises the finest crops of small grain, hay, tur nips, ifcc. It is with additional pleasure that we record the success that has attended the well directed efforts of the truckers around New Berne in producing hay and other lorage crops, lollosving the spring crops. Mr. J. L. Rhem was probably the pio neer in this business (as he was in truck ingl and set up the first press for packing small bales of hay. Others have followed and nt present Messrs. Hackburn & Wil lett, Bray. Dunn, Mea lows, Crockett and others cut over tico tons per acre of hay, which the lumb r men prouonce equal to Timothv. When we remember that this i-; a second crop and that it is grown on I.uhI, from which a spring crop has been taken, and that it svas produced with out seeding, or labor until ready to mow. 't givt s a value In ' Cnrt'lim land, climate, and market location that cannot often be found. There will always be a good demand for forage from lumbermen and cotton tarmer?, sufficient to maintain profitable prices. It is estimated that 2,000 tons of forage were produced on.the truck lands around New Berne last year. The cow pea cive also a valuable forage as a second crop, or broadcast at last plough ing of corn, I noCce an Exposition carl with this statement : -'The Truck Crap of Eartt rn Si'i-th I'rtroliitu Fmr Million Dulliir."

These gentlemen say that the dairy busim ss is profitable svith them and ex pect it to be still more so from the same quantity of stock as their cattle are ret ting m better condition all the time and from the fact that it requires some little time to get cattle in g5ad condition for best yields. Messrs. Hackburn it Willett also culti vate considerable hay and they cut about 350 tons last, season of the crab grass variety besides quantities of clover yield ing about 2 to 2 1-2 tons per acre.
