NORTH CAROLINA FRUITS.

We see it mentioned that Ill
Surry county alone it is estlmat
ed that the fruit crop will bring
$4,000. North Carolina is a
great fruit State in bryo. 1t
can grow the best apples, peach
es, pears and grapes of any State
on the Atlantic border. Grapes
of the best kind are indigenous,
grow almost everywhere, and in
great perfection. In 1851, the
first Worlds Fair was held in
New York. The two highest pre-
miums for apples were received
by two North Carolina promolo-
gists. Apples and pears of the
best known flavor and of the
largest size, and peaches of un~
surpassed excellence of flavor are
easily raised here. When North
Carolina farmers turn their at
tention to fruit growing they will
be on the way to more money and
better living. The grape could
be developed to great industry.
1t is said that the pineapple and
banana can be grown in the open
air in this State. North Carolina
has vast capabilities.

The cold of winter and the
heat of summer, which i'll their
turn create so much discomfort,
serve benefcent purposes t
least in our aspect. Winter
time brings in its train benevo>
lent unions and kindred charities
of various kinds. Our sylnpaz
thies are enlisted and our aid
invoked to help the suffering
poor, and the better impulses of
the heart are awakened.
The suffering of summer does
not come so close home to us,
because we do not live in crowd>
ed cities, where the extreme Of
poverty and riches are so sharply
antithesized. But if we keep
ourselves informed as to the pro-
gress of events in the larger cen~
tres of population we find there
are many praiseworthy charities
adapted to this season of the
year.
Free>ice funds and fresh air
funds are testimonials to that
touch Of nature which makes the
whole world kind. We can
never realize the intensity of
suffering which accompanies the
parched tongue of the metropo-
Titan Lazarus. Nor can we
properly appreciate the benefit
reaped by the little children of
the poor who are transplanted
from city streets to country lanes.
Relief from thirst and refuge
from heat are common things to
us, but this fact, instead of III ak :
ing us careless as to the needs of
those less fortunate, should slim
ulate us to help others to enjoy
that which we have, which they
have not.-POytsmouth Star,

moderate sums and fuel and la
Dor will be found abundant and
cheap.
Our merchants handle annual
Iy many thousand dollars worth
OF cotton fabrics and instead OF
paying transportation charges, to
and from, a distant mandatory,
would gladly avail themselves OF
an opportunity to purchase at
home.
In addition to the many adj
vantages offered for cotton plant
we present the finest opening OF
any of our sister cities for a
CANNERY.
We are in the midst of rich
trucking region and large guam
titles of peas, beans, tomatoes
and corn are grown and shipped,
while much goes to waste be
cause OF no consumers. A few
hundreds or thousands, at best,
invested in a cannery would not
only consume this surplus-the
buyer being able to obtain them
at his own door and price. Large
quantities of these canned goods
are annually consumed by our
people and our merchants must
of necessity carr full stocks of
them. Again we present to the
manufacture a home market tor
many of his goods and with our
excellent transportation facilities
a large and lucrative trade could
very quickly be established:
The roe of the sturgeon is used
i'll preparing what is known as
ca0lar-why not utilize the roe
of the herring and prepare a lun-
cheon dish from it? Almost
Everything is canned and ii
might be that a scientific prepa>
ration of this roe, that by many
is regarded as the best part Of
the herring, putting it up IN
cans, would produce paying Ell
terprise. Why a few years age
sturgeon roe was thrown away
now it yields an income of from
g to 80 dollars per keg. A few
| hundred dollars would test the
matter and if it proved a success:
the experimentor would have
fortune i'll his grasp.
A great deal of offal from the
fish is annually carried away ane
thrown upon the land. This, nc
doubt, tends to keep the soil il
a fertile condition. A fertilizer
mill that would buy up all thi:
ofal and by a skilful combina
tons of this refuse with kainit
salt, and other chemicals fertil
izer would be produced tina
would not only equal but tina
would surpass great many tina
are now sold by the thousands O.
tons to farmers. An ever ready
market at large profit on the
investment would be found III al
our surrounding country. Anc
this article instead of being I'M
ported into our midst would be
largely exported. The capital
lists who have engaged i'll thi:
class of work elsewhere have
made money and any one engag
ing i'll it here would likewise
reap a rich harvest.
These are a few of the many
simple enterprises that come t'
us as we write and we feel con
fident that any one who will take
the time and trouble to investi
gate will find that each one, will
yield a large revenue.
