HEALTH.
Lying IN the famous Piedmont region
its climate is equable and invigorating
and the health Of its citizens excellent,
fact that Durham's wide-awake physi-
clans will thoroughly attest. The city
WAS named in honor of DR. Bartlett
Durham. who donated the land upaa
which the warehouse and depot OF the
southern Railroad is located. The his
torical interest Of Durham is derived
from the fact that in 1865 General Jos
cph II. Johnson, near here, at what Is
known as the Bennett Place" surren-
dered to General Sherman, which ended
hostilities between tie North ard South
and sounded the utter collapse Of the
Southern Confederacy.
THE PEOPLE.
The rapid strides which this town
has made in advancing its material in
tercsts is owing primarily to the fact that
the leading business men of the place,
tmost of whom are old residentsi, having
created Il nucleus for Il manufacturing
town, determined not TO rest content
until recognition was had from the con-
mercal centres Of this and other conn,
tries. While at al times williug ana
