probable that the place Of his en-

that remains of a large Indian vii

It's further strengthened by the

population was 22.S2S. Number
Of square miles $50, which gives

erage Of, the State The number
Of dwellings, $3.50; humber Of
families 5000; white population
%, 100; colored population 5,944,
which shows an increase in the
white population during the last
decade Of 6,174, and a diminution
Of the colored population of 95S,
The number in the county that
cannot read is 1926, the number
that cannot write 9, ,064, or nearly
one-third of the whole. The val
ueof real estate in 1860 was ST.
870,452; in 1870 it was Sc, ,409,-
99l. The value of personal prop
erty in 1860 was S. 2,311; in
1870 S3,449,166. The great. loss
in the value of personal property
arises from the emancipation Of
the slaves. The number of farms
in the county in 1880 was 1921

The admirable drainage and

round Fayetteville, together with
the abundance of wild grape vines,
show a peculiar fitness in the soil
for the grape. Nor would the
planting of the vine be altogether
an experiment. A gentleman
living in Fayetteville, Of foreign
descent, planted a few years since
one hundred and ten vines. They
were Of the Concord, Catawba,.

county pride themselves upon ex.

but upon the beginning, of yhostili.

of intelligent gentlemen, among
whom was the present efficient
President of the association, HEF.
Dusenberry, met together and sre-
organized under the old charter.
Three fairs have been held since,
all of'which paid expenses, which
is more than can be said. of q, ma

since the war. 1t is to be hoped
that an increased interest will be
felt in stock growing, and that
the farmers of the county may be
stimulated to building better sta
