kinsville, where their daughter and son

Mr.. Brown conducted the cotton mill
business at Perkinsville until 1862, when

held many publ; offices, such as lister for

cautious habits, which have led him to
thoroughly investigate all matters that

Special Edition of THE TIMES.

The special edition of the TINES devote
to the, town of Rockingham, on which j
H. Walbridge is working, promises to be
great success, and will probably be one
of the best souvenir editions ever issued
in the state. There will be about fifty
pages and 100 illustrations. About every
business of any magnitude will be repre-
sented in its pages, and the historical and
general articles will make the edition one
of interest to all. Because the edition
will be at least a fifth larger than was al
first anticipated, it is probable that it can.
not be published until sometime in Febru.
ary.
