The towns of Eastern North Carolina
are noted for their extensive emporiums
dedicated to the trade, and Washington
has ever been noted for her prominence
in this respect. 1t is one Of the dry
goods, notions and shoe centers of that
section, and justly claims a large NUM-
Der of first class houses, among which
we take great pleasure in mentioning
that of the above named, under the pro-
prietorship of X. A. Knight, which is
probably the handsomest store in the
town with large and attractive show
windows where goods are displayed of
elegance ana style. lie store IL hBHltd

latest pattern, which makes it indeed
a picture of neatness. The line Of goods
carried is very extensive and consists
of gents furnishings, dry goods notions
and fine shoes, with speciality of fine
dress goods and shoes. A large trade
is enjoyed which is drawn from many
miles around in the surrounding coun-
ties, a great deal of which is done by
the mail order system. Mr.. Knight
makes four regular trips per annum
to the Northern markets. where he pur-
chases the very best goods, all being Sc
lected with mature judgment and perfect
taste, and displayed with the consummate
art of the thorough and accomplished
merchant who has been in the mercantile
business for a number of years and
was Knight of the Grip" for five
years, travelling for Baltimore house.
He established the present business
in March of 1898 and is gentleman
who understands the trade thoroughly

in address, qualities which are certain
to win regard and compel success.
