this town is steadily increasing every month
and the prospect of its becoming one O
the largest inland cities in the Southern
States is cheering 1t is surrounded by
fine and productive countrv, good popula
ton, and It's transportation facilities in an,
direction are superior Besides, it cal
never be in jured by the building of an,
new lines of Railroad-that is, the trade O
the town cannot be cut off. The RoaC
about to be rebuilt from here to Statesvill(
will greatly benefit us, while the construc
tlon of the Air Line Road from Atlanta tc
Charlotte, and the completing of the Road
to Wilmington, will add much to the i'm
Iportance of this locality.
AS an evidence that the Charlotte market
is one of the best in the State, we are in,
formed by our merchants, that Cotton and
other produce is brought here from within
seven miles of Cheraw, twenty miles OF
Camden, and five miles of Winnsboro', S.
Z. Within the past week We have seen in
our streets several wagons from the coun-
ties of Watauga, Caldwell, Burke, &C.,
selling produce and taking in loads of
goods.
From the indications nowvisible we think
we are justified in expressing the confident
opinion that Charlotte is bound to be, next
to Wilmington, the largest and most thri-

Our NOBLE DEAD-A number of the la
dies of Newbern have undertaken to secure
a fitting spot in Cedar Grove Cemetery, in
which to collect and re-inter the Confeder
ate dead now scattered about that ground,
with such other Of the like dead as may be
brought from distance, and to make their
resting place memorable by the erection of
a suitable monument. A nobler work was
never engaged in. In Cedar Grove Gene
terry there is, we believe, a vacant circle
which was reserved and designed for orna-
mental purposes. Let our City Council at
once present that entire circle to the ladies
for their noble purposes. No brighter or
can deck that spot than simple
column to indicate that here, around its
base, lie the bodies of those who gave up
their lives for us. The Board of Council
will not hesitate to gire this place, and their
constituents will applaud the act.
