LITTLFTON, n. c., April 2S -Littleton.
N. G., IS one of the most desirable pla-
ces to live in in North Carolina and has
long been noted as health resort. which
is due TO the number of fine mineral
springs which abound in that locality.
1t Is located in Warren county immedi-
| ately on the line of the Seaboard Air
Line railroad, which connects with all
the other principal rail routes running
through the State. 1t is 70 miles north
of Raleigh and 81 miles west of Weldon.
The country is rolling, as beautiful
and heathful as any section of North
! Carolina.
AS for moral, religious and education
al advantages, it has no superior in the
country for it's size AS a summer aud
winter resort, for healthy climate, good
schools and other inducements, the place
oilers as many advantages for happy
homes as any town in North Carolina

sand people, twenty-five business houses,
carriage shops, lawyers, doctors, and
there are many vineyards in the vicinity
There Is no better place for the estab-
l1shment OF sanitariums, as the waters
are decidedly medicinal, the air bracing
during both summer and winter.

Littleton Female College, of which
Rev. J. NJ. Rhodes is the president, pos
sesses a wide reputation as one of the
best, and has large complement Of pro
ficient instructors. The buildings are
commodlOus, convenient and very com
plete. It is situated in Il 32-acre lawn
within the corporation, and is one of ths
most pleasant situations for the purpose
intended to be found in the State. Tht
school is noted for its home influence
and we believe that as much refinement
and culture is inculcated as any educa
i, tional institution in the State. This is
uniform" school, which prevents tn,
display Of dress, thereby cheapening ed
ucation Not single death has eve
