Something cool from my town, and Indians

[crabstang44]

The horse races back then were about a mile down the road from me, unfortunately, the projects are built there now, so can't really detect there, 1889, 1876, 1901, Indians, plus some buttons

The Breeder's Gazette of March, 4, 1896 at page 167 noted: "The ninth annual exhibition of the East Carolina Fish, Oyster, Game and Industrial Association was held at New Berne, N. C. Feb. 24 to 29 and was a great success." The title to the article is "New Berne's Midwinter Fair". So.....the beginning date for your find was no earlier than 1887; truly a great find.

Some more info:
EAST CAROLINA FISH, OYSTER, GAME AND
INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION.

The first Fair held by this Association was November 13, 1887. It was permanently organized in April, 1888.
These fairs are usually held in February, and are generally considered the best held in the State, while it is universally conceded that, so far as the fish, oyster and game exhibits are concerned, they far excel any other Fair in the United States.
