rHE NORTH CAROLINA COUNTIES PUz-
ZLE.

The puzzle prepar0u ny his
little. of Wadesboro, and published
in The Progressive Farmer OF May
9th. has attracted much attention.
Forty-nine persons, representing three
States and nearly every section Of
North Carolina have sent us the re-
suits of their efforts to solve it.
In making the award we have left
out of consideration entirely numbers
: and 45. Number 5 was omitted be-
cause the answer calls for the name
of two counties, while our comment
Nav 9th Mrs. Little had not then
furnished us the a~nswers) would lead
the reader to believe that each puzzle
could be answered with the name OF a
single county. Only Miss Shuford, OF
Catawba County, Mrs. Barnes, and
Mrs. Costen answered "Davie-J ones"
Number As was left out of considera-
ton because the only correct answer
would be Martin, and that is the
answer to number SO.
Only one person sent us an entirely
accurate hist of answers-Mr. W. r.
Walker, of Union, S. c. The prize has
accordingly been forwarded to him.
The following persons gave wrong
answers to less than five of the entire
list:
John G. Harris, Hyde Co., N. c.;
Mrs. H. F. Seawell, Moore Co., N. @.
Miss Kate Steele, Union Coz, N. G..
