every obstacle was overcome, and the road
now stands us lasting monument Of the
uniiring devotion and zeal Of the companv
TO the good Of that community.
While there are some in our own com.
muniy opposed to the construction of tho
road because il will operate, as they think
against their pecuninry interests, yet we
rejoice to hear Of many TO the ives, Of us
who will come to our aid with the utmost
alacrity. There are very few of our
siaunch old farmers but viii be williop to
aid us when they know with wha, facility
they can pay for their stock. Many dave
hands, who, at the present price Of pro.
duce, and their is not much prospect Of an
increase, docs not clear their expenses
then TO have an opportunity Of aidins in SO
glorious an undertaking and paying in work
is an inducemenl which few should slight
especially when they are the class in tho
community which will derive the creates,
benefit.
We understand in our sister towns a
GOODNESS is manifested which we very much
regret. Every man cannot have a rail
road OF his door, neither can every town
have ono, yet there is a certain impetus
given 10 business in The neighborhOod Of
every market town which will COMM.
nicate itself TO the surrounding coun.
try, and although we are not prepared 70
say what benefit will accrue TO our srs.
ter towns, yet we believe they viii be bsne
fitted BY a rail road coming to Charlotte
instead Of being injured; and although they
may no, lie induced 10 contribute TO the
undertaking, We hope they will mol Op
pose il.

Justice for Yancy county, and during the
present year, wall have good hopes OF very
rough and unsigh,ly places. A more dole
fol spot than j, was in the year 1884, can.
not we'll be imagined f; aud though there is
ample room for Improvement vet, 1t IS not
difficult TO see that the time is near when
there will be range OF meadows passing
by and pear it, alike productive aud beau
tifal.
If an inhabi,ant Of the mountains shall
be DESTROYS of calling in the experience OF
other parts Of our widely extended country
for the purpose Of directing his own iabors,
there is no section OF the United States
which he would visit with more advantage
than the genuine Yankee land-the New
England States. The soil is to great ex-
tent the same with his own, having been
produced by the decomposition Of print.
tive rocks; elevation compensatlng for dit.
ference of latitude, there is considerable
similarity OF climate. And If alter seeing
what the labor of two centuries has ac-
complished there, he shall pass through
the mountain region Of North Carolina,
whilst he will be pleased TO see what has
been done in his own section, he will fix
upon many spots that are now 10 great
measure neglected, as those which pa
tient industry will in the course of few
years render the most productive and
valuable. Extensive tracts in Henderson
county, the moist grounds incllnlng TO
swamp in the neighborhood of Waynes-
vile, the valley of SCOTS creek, bordering
the road, the head waters of the Tucka-
seege and those of the Savannah on the
south side Of the Blue Ridge, are cited as
examples because they fell under my i'm
mediate observation.
Closely connected with agriculture as
affordins access to market, are good roads,
and IL was with some surprise that no.
ticed certain indications that the road
scraper has never been intI oduced into the
western part Of the State, but that all the
difficult passes in the mountains had been
wrough, out with the plough, the hoe and
shovel. The Warm Spring Turnpike h.:

the point where il first comes in contact
with the river, that would not be permit
ted TO continue for year if this excellent
labor. saving instrument were once 10 come
into use. For removing earth through
shor, distances for hundred feet TO a
hundred yards there is nothing compare
bic to il. A single man and horse will
accomplish as much as six or eight men
with the ordinary tools.

Romans copied the Greeks in these things.

While the Greeks and Romans were

their wives with respect and veneration-
