The price paid was thirty shillings, current money, per acre.

The old map on record in the oiiice of the Clerk of the Circuit Court, an inter- esting showing of the work of that day, bears the signature and seal of Robert Orrell, surveyor, and those of three of the five village commissioners--Levin Charles, Alex Maxwell and Solomon Brown. The village, as shown by the map, numbered forty-nine buildings in all. It was then a village of some commercial importance as is evidenced by shop', and store ' and wharf and granary marked on the map. The massive English brick chimneys, the one 6, the other 75 feet across it, in the house of Williani Denny, one of the early settlers, now form a part, as originally built, of the handsome residence of the late judge Geo. M. Russum erected a few years ago on the same site. This, so far as is known, is the only vestage of Edenton, the century- old court house having been torn down in 1895, and the remainder of what had not been previously destroyed, having been consumed by the late disastrous fire. - The oldest church of Denton, the Methodist Episcopal, was built in 1867, and this was followed by the Roman Catholic, the Protestant Episcopal andthe Methodist Protestant in the order named. The old public squareof four acres, with its stately court building set in the center and thickly shaded by maples, beeches, willows and ,sycamores is Hone of the prettiest in the State. The plying of several steamboat lines between Baltimore a11d tl1e tow11 had done much to help it, but it was not till the buildingof banks here and the advent of railroad and telegraph and telephone that the town, as if awakened from sleep, began to build factories and good stores and otherwise take its place among the prosperous towns of the peninsula. , . T- my soME INDUSTRIES on THE TOWN. A ' Q. The Lawrence B. Towers Ice Plant, having a capacity of five tons daily, the tin can factories of Harry A. Roe and Geo. T. Reddeng the fruit and vegetable pack- ing establishments of Harry A. Roe, Geo. T. Redden, B. W. Parker and The Denton Canning Co., with a capacity of one-half of a million cans each are some of the lead- ing industries of the town. ' . I . I. Gas and water works, the Law Building, a three story brick building, 60fq100 feet, opposite the public square, the up-to-date banking buildings of the Denton National and People's National Bank, the I. Dukes Downes store building, the john T. Carter structure, now in course of erection, and the commodious and beautiful residence of james H. Nichols are among recent improvements. The last census shows a population, including the village of West Denton, of nearly 1,500, and many residences are being built every year, U A 4 I U 155
