One who liua read tlio ''Buncombe Notes" an elaborate account of Colonel Buuconibo's removal to North Cai'oiiuu, preserved until 1874 suya that in these it was related that the vessels in which he came weie loaded with great quantities of Valuublo stores, farming implements, iseed, stock, slaves, furniture, and all things' necessary for the farm in the nv country. These were landed at the place now known as Bunco'Yube lauding, at the east end of the beau tiful ridge on which Buncombe Hall stood, gome three-quarter of a mile ta the west. Vessels trading with the West Indios, New York, Boston and other points along tho coast came regularly to Kendrick's creek in those davs for cargoes of lumber, und farm produce. So profitable w,u3 this trade, that Colonel Bun combe built a vessel of his own to enguge in it, and on the 2 Oth of September, 1775, the schooner M Bunco m be" was registered at Port lloanoke, Ed en ton, N. C, Jno, Mc yrohon being her first master. Just Uelow the landing at Bun combe Hull the dark waters of the Btreatn are unusually deep, so much tso that the place was ponuUuly said to have no bottom. This was called the "Guinea Hole" from a very pa thetic circumstance said to have oc curred there. During the davs of Mr. Joseph Buncombe a vessel from the West Indies was unloading at this wharf vhioh had among her crew a young pi:tn who had "shipped' one trip in a Guinea slave trader, lie recog nized among the negroes handling the cargo, some natives of Guinea, yvhom Mr. Buncombe had recently purchased from a New England dea ler, and getting into conversation with one of the men, our wag man aged to make him understand that he was but recently in the man's own Country. After answering many eager inquiries as best suited his tvhitn, tho sailor was tin-illy urged to Jjoint in the direction of Guinea. Either in a spirit of inifchief, or in tending to indicate that the place was oil the other side of the world, he poiuted over the steam of the ship down through the deep hole. The simple child of tho Niger under stood the gesture to mean that here was a secret passage to Guinea, and hugging his precious seciet he took the first opportunity imparting it in all confidence to his fellow country men, who like himself were longimr for their native jungles. Getting a long pole, they secretly sounded the place, und finding no bottom, they concluded the kindly looking young sailor had told them truly, so select ing h dirk night when no one win watching, and loading themselves with weights, that they might sink quickly, plunged beneath the inky (watefs on'their long journey to the other shore. Though their unfor tunate lives were lost, may we not hope that they found an eternal abiding place iu the presence of Him who said 'jCome unto mo all ye that labor, and are heavy laden, and 1 will give you rest." Be tins legeud true or false there were among Mr.' Buncombe's slaves some desperate men, who iu their ef forts to escape, slew thea keepers, and were executed. "It is along the borders of streams that men usually seat," wrote Thom as Woodward the first Surveyor Gen eral of Albemarle.' This custom fixed ltlie early ibads para! led with the water courses, and usually next to them The one leading from ''Edenton's sound" to Lee's Mills was no exception to the rule. It zi:tg ged along the ede of the hills next the stream until it reached the end of the long ridge composing the southern portion of the Buncombe estate, then leaving the creek it turned down the northern side of this, going iu a westeruly direction. It was ou top uf this 1 idge, and about half a mile west of the spot where Joseph Buncombe had lived, that Buncombe Hall was erected. As originally constructed, it was a long two-story frame building, containing four large rooms, wide halls, and three cellars. It faced tho road on the north and had on that side a rather pretentious double piazza, through which the lower hall was en tered by wide double doors. The cooking was done in a great open fireplace in the east cellar, and the dining room was immediately above. The stairs leading to the upper cham bers was entered through a door from the piazza. Later, and certainly du ring Colonel Buncombe's life, a long wing was erecud from tho south side of the west end of the building, ma king it L shaped. This new wing contained two large looms ou the lirst lloor, and one above, which was entered by stairs leading up from the loom next the main building. There were two cellars under this wing. The basement walls of brick, vere about live feet above ground, and had small windows in the lop. There were chimneys outside at the end of each wing, and probably one double chimney running up through the middle. The lower rooms had Continued cm 7th pajje.j SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP Cured by One Bottle of Cham, berlain's Cough Rcmcdj'. 'When I had an attack of the grip last winter (the second one) 1 actually cured myself with one bot tle of Chamberlain's (Jouh Uemedy," says Frank W. Terry, Editor of the Enterprise, JShortsvilie, N. Y. ''This is the honest truth. 1 at limes ket from coughing myself to pieces ' by taking a teaspoonful of this remedy, and when the coughing spell vutild come on tit night I would take a dose and it seemed tnat iu the brief est interval the cough would pass oil and I would go to sleep perfectly free from cough and its accompany ing pains. To say that the remedy acted sis a most agreeable surprise is putting it very mildly. 1 had no idea that it would or could knock out the grip, simply because 1 hud never tried it for such a purpose, but it did, and it seenu-d wit h the second attack of coughing the reme dy caused it to not. only be of less duration, but the pains were far less severe, und I hud not used the con tents of one bottle before Mr. Grip had bid me adieu."

Dr. Miles' Nervine Cisred Me. - When the nervous system has been shat tered by the use of deadl v. drugs there is nothing to eqiul Dr. Miles' Nervine in restor ing it lo health and noinral activity. "I feel so grateful for what Dr. Miles' Re storative Nervine has done for me that I must tell it for that-part of humanity that suffers as I have. During the three years 1 sua'ered from nervous prostration I found vo lehvf except when doctors gave morphine. To f;et rid of suffering" 1 took morphine my self as it was the only thing that would give ease, and now you, who point with scorn at morphine usinj, how could you, when irt such agony, knowing it about the only thing that would give relief, resist it? I knew it was a terrible habit and 1 knew of its deadly grasp, hut I never fully realized its signifi cance until I had used it a number of months. Oh. tiie misery of being addicted to such a habit. I icsolved then and there to quit it and resolved I would never be a slave to any such demon. About this time I happened to notice Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine adver tised and ordered a bottle. After using five bottles I can truthfully say I am cured of using morphine. Now, however much per sons mav ooubt it, God is my witness I am cured. This testimonial is unsolicited but I fed it my dutv to give it for the benefit of the suffering:" Mattie Phillips, Prescott, Ark, All druggists sell and guarantee first bot tle Dr. Miles' Remedies.
