the woods and loaded with pine straw for
the purpose OF ilttering his stables, he
drove up TO the lot gate. 1t being ram

opened the gate for him. One of his

....You are right Bro. Sho;wcll. from
the signs we sec We should Judge that
success was already stamped upon it.
Mr. Cozart has now on hand and growing
mellow in its sweet flavor and richness
nearly the whole of his manufacturing
work the past season and the samples of
it given out to Granville lovers Of the
weed are pronounced excellent. Mr..
Cczart had in his employ a manager of
recognized skill and experience, and
there is no question abou: the superior
quality of his work. Mr.. Thomas Crews
started South last week to place some Of
choiSe brands on the market. The trade
would DO well to look out TOR him. As
an evidence of the growth and success of
this manufacturing interest in Oxford we
point to the tremendous building now
going up under Mr.. Cozart's direction
and containing nearly a half million brick.
1t will be ready and equipped with all
the approved methods before the opening
OF another season. Succeed Why YES,
il Is bound 70 succeed. There is no
point in North Carolina nor in the

;ages for the manufacture of the best to

ION last Sunday morning, 9th ms.
at his residence, near Jacksonville, in
Onslow county, James Graham Scott, our
friend, departed this life. 1t gives us
unaffected pain to make this announce
ment. We knew him intimately and es.
teemed him most highly. \ pure, up

He would have been fifty eight years of
age if he had lived q few weeks longer. !
Mr. Scott was a native OF Orange
county, we think. He was graduated at
the University of North Carolina in the
class Of lS43-'44. He read law under
the late Hon. John 4. Gilmer, and after
obtaining his license to practice his pro
%tessiOn. settled in Ons,ow, about the
year 1851, where he resided until his
death. He had a massive head and ii
was well stored with law and literature.
His mind was singularly clear and logi.
cal. He wa a modest man without any
Of the arts of the dcmagogue, and did
not have that sort OF seli-assertion that
pushes a man TO the front. We believe
that there were few men 10 North Caro-
Ina who were his equal in breadth and
vigor of intellect.
The disease that carried him of was of
the heart. He was 10 the iu!l possession
OF his faculties up to the hour of dissolu
ton. He met death bravely. composed

not afraid to die. lie leaves a widow, a
