ROSELAND
North Carolina’s most beautiful spot. Sur
rounded by sunshine, health, plenty,
and hospitable neighbors. A great fu*
ture awaits the New South, and Rose
land will be a potentfactor in the work.
A charming place in a progressive
State. What the Roseiand Land Com
pany is doing. J?.*®
Among the many advantages of the
recent Civil War which the South will
reap in all the coming years, and which
will eventually compensate her for the
enormous losses sustained by the con
flict, is the development of her great
natural resources — her minerals and
fertile lands — by thousands who would
never know their value but for the en
forced explorations made necessary in
the trying days of the sixties.
It was in the search for homes, and a
safe investment with sure returns, that
tfte marvelously healthful and curative
properties of the pine-laden air of the
pine hills section first commanded the
attention of the medical world, and
the extreme fertility and productive
ness of the soil first-attracted the prac
tical farmer, fruit raiser and market
gardener. Situated in the midst of
this nature-favored region, and at its
highest elevation, 600 feet above sea
level, is Roseland, than which no
fairer spot is to be found in the whole
length and breadth of North Carolina’s
fair acres. Nature has liberally en
dowed these sand hills, which, once
thought worthless, now attest to the
world, by the rapidity with which they
are being populated, that their worth
is now being recognized. Roseland is
located on the Moore County Railroad,
five miles from the station of Aber

There are various ways of reaching
Koseland which may be chosen, ac
cording to the individual preference for
traveling, by boat or rail, from Boston,
via either rail or boat to New York,
thence vfiksjail through Washington,
Richmond, and Weldon, reaching
Roseiand in about twenty-four hours
from Boston; from New York via the
Pennsylvania Railroad direct in seven
teen hours. A most attractive route is
via the fine steamers of the Merchants
and Miners Transportation Line, Bos
ton to Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va..
whence connection is made with the
Seaboard Air Line to Aberdeen, con
necting at that point with the Moore
County Railroad for Roseiand, which
is nine hours’ ride from Norfolk and
Portsmouth, Va. By this route you
will get about forty hours of seagoing,
a beautiful, invigorating and delightful
trip. The service on this popular line
of steamers is highly satisfactory.

Malaria is unknown, and a case of consump

waters of the springs are pure and good j the
pines are trees of healing. The average sum

The property is owned by a corporation known
as the Roseland Land Company, and the purpose
of the Company is to build up a city in which it

would make it a winter resort.
Roseland and immediately surrounding coun
try is a great section for grapes, berries, peaches,
and early vegetables, and those who are engaged
in fruit culture and early vegetable raising are
making money. The product of this section
reaches the Northern markets from three to six
weeks earlier than that of less favored localities,
city limits, a the present ume, is wu,,
corners, $150; and on Hawthorn Avenue, $boo.
We will sell a vineyard, and keep it up in good
