JUDGE AVERY TOO BUSY.
To Write a History of North Carolina
Soldiers.

Soldiers.
After expending great deal Of
time and labor in collecting material,
Judge Avery has been very reluctant
ly compelled, by pressure Of other
business engagements, to give up
writing the history OF the North Car
olina troops during the Confederate
war, and to rescind his contract with
the Atlanta Publishing Company. He
abandons the work with much reAret,
butIhe is unable to write the history
DOW without neglecting important
and profitable professional work.
The people of the State will regret
that Judge Avery's professional duties
compel him to give up this work. He
was one OF the bravest men the State
sent to the front in the late war and
had peculiar fitness for furnishing to
posterity true and appreciative &C
count OF the valor OF those brave men
who were FIRST at Bethel; last at
AppomattOX."
The name Of Mai Graham Davies
has been suggested as tit historian.
He is a scholarly man, well qualified
for the work.
