There is no State south of Mason and
Dixons' line, to which attention is more
thoroughly drawn, than to the State OF
North Carolina. In point of climate, and
all the elements that go to make up de-
sirable country, North Carolina seems to
have been particularly favored; and the re-
searches of our State Geologist develope,
daily, new attractions. In minerals, we are
rich; in water, the purest is the free gift OF
an all wise Providence, to our people where
ever located; in timber, no State can pro-
duce more, or finer specimens of oak, hick-
ory, black walnut, poplar and ashe. If we
have barren lands, We have the mari to make
them rich. Then it is not wonderful that
the far seeing northern men, in search of a
home in the sunny South should look to
North Carolina in preference to any other
State. In addition to the advantages al
ready enumerated, we have railroad facili-
ties now available and prospective railroads
to tap the rich low country and to pepei
trate the mineral regions. The most of our
rivers are navigable for small crafts, and
are being used with great profit o
