A short news item reporting that a gentleman near Washington, North Carolina, appeared in a complete suit of silk (coat, vest, pantaloons and stockings) produced entirely on his own farm by his family, from silk culture through spinning, weaving and making up. The fabric is described as gray-mixed, resembling Angola but softer. The writer predicts silk culture could become a significant industry in North Carolina, rivaling cotton.
