located by Mr. Oscar Jones in 1900, and runs westward along the 
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad to Nashville; thence along highways to 
Forestville; thence along the Seaboard Air Line Railway to Raleigh; 
thence along the Southern Railway to Goldsboro and connected with 
the south meridian stone. A spin* line follows the Atlantic Coast

Princeton and Ayden, and another line follows the highways from 
Conetoe via Wilson to Raleigh.
