THE STORY OF AYDEN.
Not Poe's Distant But

Town.
In course a conversation
a few years ago in Greenville the j
late Dr. who knew Pitt
county as few men do, and felt
and sympathized with every pulse-
beat of her people, said to me in
speak i n g of Ayden, that if he had
been called upon to select in Pitt
county die most unpromising site
for the location of a town he
would most probably have chosen
the by-name by
which this locality was known to
the people, that he who heard the
name might go way.
But chance or Providence had
placed in the line of
railway from Weldon to Kin
and upon its completion in
1889 the legislature incorporated
the town of Ayden and in the
rapid growth and of
little town be-
came only a memory.
From this beginning in 1889,
Ayden and the surrounding
country have grown until today j
there is no more progressive com j
in the county than that

fields. Each one his

Ayden has grown to be a town of
nearly a thousand people, thrifty,

pie.
It would take the whole of this
page to describe growth of
Ayden through various stages to
its present position. It has been
a steady, regular advance, and
not by spasmodic jumps.
