Yes. he must set them. OF course. but he

ground is hastily plowed. just as he
would plow 1t for any other crop. no

EDENTON, Sept. 18th, 1889.
Pr. EDITOR The hotel property at
Nag's Head will be sold at public auc
ton on the 18th instant at Elizabeth
City, n. c., Mr.. A. E. Jacobs, the
proprietor, having retired to take charge
of hotel in Norfolk, Va, which he
will call the North Carolina House.
The general opinion is that money jul
diciously expended at Nag's Head will
prove exceedingly profitable. Certain
ly no watering place on our coast offers
so many inducements for the invest
mont of capital.
My family and myself spent several
weeks there this summer and enjoyed
ourselves very much. The weather
was pleasant, the proprietor kind, the
table well supplied and the servants
attentive; who could wish for more.
We trust the property will pass into
the hands of parties who will have the
means necessary to erect a suitable
hotel with all modern convenienees and
to purchase a fast steamer for the con-
venience of the place. It would be a
great loss to our people and pity to
let a place with SO many natural advan-
tages and around which cluster so much
of historic interest 60 down.
Respectfully,
