one of our most popular young townsmen
says:
'Col. Pescud is the son of p. F. Pescud,
Esq, a native of Petersburg, Va, but now
a successful fire insurance agent of Raleigh,
n. c. He is a graduate of the University
of Nirginia-has had several years expert
ence in underwriting, and always given en-
tire satisfaction to his companies. The
Messrs. Alfriend have shown in this, as In
other particulars, their good judgment. Col.
Pescud is a gentleman of culture and high
moral standing, and is respected and es-
teemed both at home and abroad. As an
evidence of his qualification and moral worth
he was but recently appointed Lieutenant
Colonel and assistant Adiutant General on
General Jones staff. His appointment, as
friend 4 Son, will greatly facilitate the bust
ness of this firm, and will give universal
satisfaction.
