THE ATTRACTIONS.
To those familiar with our seaside re-
sort it is a fact recognized by all, that
from Bar Harbor on the coast of Maine.
to Tampa, on the coast of Florida, there
is not one that compares with Morehead
City in the salubrity of it's climate, or
in the opportunities which it affords for
sport, health and pleasure.
No where on our entire coast is there
finer beach, or the bathing surpassed
For those who do not care to seek the
ocean, the sound plays around the very
pillars upon which rests the hotel, and
they have only to step from their rooms
into its almost tepid waters, while those
who prefer to din into the sea, find here
a surf whose pillows free from dangers
OF undertow, are equal In their rolling
grandeur, to any that spend their force
upon the Atlantic coast. And at no
place upon our entire seaboard is the
sailing to be compared to that at More
head City. To elderly persons and those
inclined to be timid of the water, the
sound, with its almost lake-like surface,
and especially at night when the moon
gilds it's bosom with the simmer and
sheen of it's mellow light, affords oppor-
tunities for quiet pleasure and enjoy
ment found at but few of the watering
places of this country, for the most of
them are not upon inland waters. while
to those of a more hardy temperament,
sail of twenty minutes from the hotel
pier takes them far out upon the broad
blue ocean, where they can enjoy it's
tossing waves to their hearts content.
Another attraction of Morehead City is
its fishing and shooting Here the
sportsman finds his paradise. The wa
tiers literally TEEN with the finny tribe.

and numberless other species are caught
in great Quantities
On the shoals and in the marshes are
to be found the Curlew, the Willet, the
Snipe and other birds in great numbers,
and those fond of that kind of sport
have no difficulty in fully gratifying their
tastes.
THE SURROUNDINGS.
The Atlantic and North Carolina Rail-
road, from Goldsboro to the land locked
harbor of Morehead City its ocean ter
minus, runs, for distance of ninety
five miles, through the center of the
great trucking belt of Eastern North
Carolina, than which no section on the
Atlantic Coast from the capes of Vir-
ginia to the Keys Of Florida, is better
adapted to or more productive in the
growth of vegetables, both early and
| late, of every description, and of fruits,
and grapes of every variety.
By reason of the great extent of its
inland waters, consisting of rivers, bays,
| sounds, lakes and estuaries, the climate
| is mild and temperate, and the occur
ence of frosts-the great dread of Truck
ers-reduced to minimum, thereby in
surfing the most favorable conditions for
| sound and early crops.
its fine and unfailing natural pastur-
age, available during the entire year,
renders it unsurpassed for stock raising
and dairy farming. Large crops of the
| finest grades of bright tobacco are grown
| and sold at remunerative prices, while
| grain of every kind is easily and profit
ably cultivated. Hay is easily and quick
| ly made with the demand greater than
| the supply.
The soil is from a deep black to
! light sandy loan.
In the sounds and rivers, fish and oys
tiers and other water products are abund-
ant, while the forest and fields are filled
with game from the bear and the deer
to the rabbit and the quail.
The climate is salubrious and health
full.
The winters are mild, the summers
pleasant.
Flowers bloom in "the open" the year
round.
Land values are reasonable, and set
tiers are given a hearty welcome.
