The Railroad

We invite particular attention to
the following note from the gentle
manly and efficient agent, Mr.. G. b.
Miller. The effort to secure the req
uisite amount of subs cribed stock is
to be renewed next month, with adj
ditional vigor. A united effort on
the part of the friends of the enter
prise, will build the Road. Now, We
are virtually cut off from the rest of
the world. Time will show, whether
we are to continue to "play second
fiddle to county that is by far our
inferior in wealth of soil, extent Of
territory, and pecuniary ability Of its
inhabitants, or whether, by one con-
central d effort, we will burst the
shackles that now bind us, and thus
secure a market, with city prices, at
our own door-sills. Think of it
To the Edttor of Tic Observer:
DEAR Sri beg leave to make
your paper one Of the means Of in
forming those interested in the con-
struction of the Railroad from Fay
etteville to intersect with the Winches-
ter and Alabama Road, that meetings
will be held at several places in Lin
coin county, for the purpose of secur-
ing the balance of the stock necessa-
nv for grading the Road, viz: at Null
berry Village, on Wednesday, Feb
ruary 10Th; at Unity Meeting House,
Thursday, 26th; Boon's Hill, Friday,
9th; Halls Store, Saturday, 2Sth,
and at Fayetteville, Monday, March
I'd. at the aforesaid times and pla-
ces, several gentlemen will address
the people on the subject of the pro-
posed Railroad, and endeaVor to lay
before them considerations, which
ought to induce them to construct it
as speedily as possible. Among the
speakers, may mention the name Of
Col. V. K. Stevenson, the President
ofthe Nashville and Chattanooga Rail-
road, who has promised to be present,
who has already manifested deep in
terest in the success of the enterprise;
whose information and experience
command general confidence; and
whose able and efficient management
of public works is a sure guaranty of
success in the speedy completion OF
the one projected.
It is not my intention to occupy
your space by dwelling on the losses
sustained by the people of this cOun-
ty. from the want Of sure and spec
DIV way Of access to good markets -
much less to enumerdte the adyanta-
ges that would flow from a Road, when
procured. | shall leave that to other
occasions, and to be done as far as it
may be necessary by those, who will
address the people at the times and
places before named.
AS the Agent of the Road, and still
more, as a citizen whose interests are
identified with the prosperity of the
people of Lincoln, and whose best
wishes are for their individual and
general prosperity, would respect
fully urge them to favor with then
presence and assistance those gentle
men who will address them at the ap-
pointments. The subject is one that
affects the interest of every citizen;
and it is to be hoped that all who car
make it convenient, will attend. =
Nothing is wanted but united effort
ut remains to be seen whether it vii
be made; or whether Lincoln shall
continue to be used as tributary tc
other localities, that, with view tC
profit by her trade, continue to resist
her efforts at improvement.
Respectfully,
GARLAND B. MILLER, Agent.
