These Croatans now carry the names of the early suttlers and speak the English of that period. Other colonists came to North Carolina; *those from the gentry of England settled on the coast, the mid- dle class a little further in, and the| lower olasses after serving their appren- ticeships were given 50 acres of land PROPOSED CITY CHARTER C. / AND HANDED OVER TO MAYOR LERCY The proposed new oity charter for Norwich, on wiieh work has been un- der way by the wpecial charter commis- slon since last Septomiber, has been com- pleted and placed in the hands of Mayor H, M.
