a LAND FOR sPoRTsMEN.
1t is not necessary to state in general
terms that game is abundant in the sur
rounding country but specific cases may
be mentioned.
Partrldges, or Bob White, woodcock, and
snipe, under the protection Of the game
laws Of the State, are the birds most
abundantly found. Within an hours walk
Of the city they may be found in numbers
sufficient to satisfy the requirements OF
any sportsman.
Then there is duck shooting During
the period from December to April the
hundreds of small water courses empty
ing into the Neuse and Trent Rivers af-
ford excellent shelter and feeding grounds
for a great number of ducks-canyas-
back, rad-head, black duck, teal and
many other varieties. In mid winter
there are TO be seen vast RATS of wild
geese and brant. AS there is never ice
of sufficient thickness to prevent the
ducks from feeding, the shooting is con-
stantly good.
And then deer hunting, so delightful to
the ardent sportsman. Within five miles
of New Bern in an easily accessible coun-
try. deer are found in such numbers that
it is rarely that party of sportsmen re-
turn empty-h handed from the chase, so ex-
citing AMI so eXhilarating.

NEW BERN'S SCHOOL ADVANTAGES.
That which appeals earnestly to home
seekers is the school facilities of city,
and when New Bern is tested in this line
it answers Well for itself

tenn of graded schools, and these are Pre-
sided over by an able educator. Prof. ".
p. Harding, superintendent, assisted by
full corps of teachers. The enrolment
at the white school exceeds $50, while
that at the colored passes 425.
The buildings are all well equipped and
are heated throughout by hot-air fur
naces, giving the best Of ventilation to
the rooms, while the city water system
and sewerage gives the best sanitary
arrangement.
IL addition to the graded schools there
are many most excellent private schools,
where special instruction is given, thus
presenting opportunities to all whether
it be for public or private education.
There is an opportunity here for an
educator to open school covering a line
of industrial work, which would surely
pay in this section. The people are more
and more turning their attention to mat
ters of practical work, and here at New
Bern in the east could be found a strong
clientele giving patronage to a school OF
this character.

that Harry T. Duke, the convicted as

would be out Of THE bank within 80 days.
The lntimation was that Mr. Dooly
