Hartford. N. c., Dec 7.-One of tho
greatest of good fortunes has MT last
come to Hartford. Our CITY. like
China, has for years been closed to
the world. With u population of nearly
2,l00, the bonds of Imprisonment have
been burst asunder, and to the music
OF hammer and saw we are marching
on.
Behold many rich men went forth
with their gold. and city on the
banks of the Perquimnns was to grow.
But, no; II Is doomed, said the wise
men. To the right of them. to the left
or them. in front of them, the waters
OF the Perquimans eddied and dubbed.
Behind them were vast tracts of
lands that bound the one on the west.
III these lands could be bought of their
owners they could be laid off into town
lots new buildings erected; many
things could be done to induce others
TO come to our city. But, alas, the
owners of this property would not sell;
they would not build; they would do
nothing TO increase the value. Year
after year, it was leased to farmers,
while men of money went to other
counties to invest their money The
vacant lots in Hartford had been built
unon. There was room for no more
buildings; but. at last. the clouds of de-
spair have lifted. The heirs of the
Grandy land have agreed to sell, and
Mr.. II. d. Saunders is to be the pur-
chaser. When the property comes into
his hands it will be laid off into town
lots. New buildings will spring up and
another census will put us on footing
with any city in this section OF the
state.
