A Grand Railroad Pr0ject---The Roa-
noke and Southern.
Lancaster Ledger.

The Roanoke and Southern Railroad Com
pany, chartered by the State of Virginia at
the last session Of its Legislature, proposes to
organize under its charter at lloanokeClty on
April 10Th for the purpose of constructing
standard guage road from that polit To y
Southern connection free and independent OF
the Richmond and DanviIlc system. This
road is TO be n connecting link with the indc-
pendent lines of the south with the Baltimore
and Ohio, the Shenandoah Valley ana the
Norfolk and Western Road; in other words,
to be great competing line to mat OF the
Richmond and Danvillc Syndicate Tor
through frcights and passengers North ana
SOnth.
This Company proposes to construct 2 road
from Eoanoke, VA. to cross the Saoe llne ei pE
near Madison, Rockingham county, North
Carolina. From Madison the line will be IN
the direction Of Winston to MocksviMile: M.,!i IN
willie there are four routes proposed namely.
!. From MocksviIle, via Statcsvlle, on to
Spartanburg, there to connect with tho ROAD
leading from Spartanburg. via i.aurens ana
Greenwood, to Augusta, being the oDJectlVe
. From Mocksville, via Mooresville Lin
colnton, Shelby, and Spartanburg, to Angus
s. From Mocksville, yia Charlotte, York
Vile, Union, ami Laurcns, on the Laurcns,
Greenwood. and Augusta Road, to Augusta.
T. From MOckSvile To Charlotte. Lancaster,
and Camden, South Carolina there To connect
outlet into Charleston, Augusta, Savannah,
Columbia, and Atlanta, over independent
lines.
The city Of Charlotte has already hal repre-
scntatives of her Chamber of Commerce at
Roanoke urging the construction OF the ROAD.
They have had assurances from the inoorpnr-
atols of this road that the Baltimore and Ohio
are behind the movement, and were to alu in
its construction.
The Chamber Of Commerce at Charlotte is
making Il lively and uet rmned effort to have
the road built through her city to Camden Via
Lancaster, and asks the cooperation of Lam
caster. This road it seems to Us would bc
more advantageous to Lancaster county than
any yet projected rs 1t would pass through
the entire county. Our citizens are requested
to send delegat, S 10 The meeting to be held at
Roanoke Ma on the 2lh instant. AS the
time is short prompt action should be taken.

A Dinner and a Kiss.

II have brought your dinner, father"
The blacksmitll's daughter said,
AS she took from her arms kettle;
And lifted its shining lid.
''There's not any pie or pudding,
SO will give you this
And upon his toll worn forehead
She.left childish kiss.
The blacksmith tore off his apron,
And dined in happy mood,
Wondering much a: the SAVIOR
Hid in his humble food;
While all about him were visions
3. Full Of prophetic bliss,
But he never, thought of the magic
In his little daughters kiss.
While she with her kettle swinging
Merrily trudged away,
Stopped at the sight of u squirrel,
Catching some wild birds lay;.
And thought how many a shadow
Oflite and fate we would miss,
If always our frugal dinners
Were seasoned with kiss.

DEAF AND BLIND.
How an Atlanta Q
man Was made to
See and Hear.

Miss Minnie Wallace resides with Mrs, Geo.
Fckland, III McAfee street, Atlanta, Ga, and
from her own lips Constitution reporter learn
ed the following appalling story;
Several months ago she became almost totally
blind and deaf, and could not taste anything
except salt. Her bones became the seat of in
tense pam, her joints were swollen and painful,
and eventually her whole body and limbs be-
came covered with splotches and sman sores.
Her appetite failed, and she gradually lost flesh
and strength, and had but little use of herself
as her limbs and muscles were paralazed. She
as well as her friends and those with whom
she lived despaired of her recovery. Her suf-
ferings, combined with loss oil hearing and
taste, and blindness, were truly heartrending.
All treatment from physicians and the use Of
medicines seemed powerless Her disease was
| blood poison and rheumatism
AS she now seemed well and hearty the re-
porter asked what wrought such wonderful
change
! FUSED medicine recommended by friend"
| she replied land before one bottle had been
taken began tie see and hear. The second bot
| tie relieved all rheumatic pains and improved
my appetite When had completed the use of
| six bottles my eyesight aud hearing were fully
restored sense and taste returned all sploches
| disappeared, sores all healed, and my strength
and flesh restored, now feel us we'll as | ever
tonished"
"What was this mcdcne?' asked the report
err,
Botanic Blood Balm-B b. b. was the great
remedy that acted so powerfully on my disease
and cured me. / never experienced any un
pleasant symptoms from its use, and its action
is so quick that it surprises all.
The reporter then sought a physician who
knew the case whereupon he handed us the
following lines.

and rheumatism before and after being cured
and certify to the main facts as above stated
and must acknowledge that b. b. B, effected {
most wonderful cure in this well-knOwn case.

The Chicago Tribune relates the
case of young man who was regard
ed as a phenomenon, because he took
his sister to all the best entertain
ments, and actually devoted himself
to her during the lecture and opera
season. Being praised for his UNI
usal attention to his sister, the young
man promptly and proudly replied;
"No, there's nothing wonderful or
extraordinary aboutit. She is the only
womaniI know in whom l have the
most through confidence. She is al
ways the same, always pleased, and
afectionate, and to tell you the can
did truth, I'm afraid she'll go and
marry some of these imitation men
around here and be unhappy all he1
life.
She has nobody else to look to, and
I'll take care she does not have to look
to anybody else. suppose some
day a genuine man will come along
If he's a genuine man, | won't object
Until he does come, she's good enough
for me; and if ever:I find asIgood a
girl, I'll marry her."
The example is most commendable
A young man would do well to seek
his sisters society until he finds an.
other lady as good as his sister.

How IL Hurts s.s All.

Can the people OF Tennessee annu-
ally spend not less than ten million
dollars in whiskey, and not have this
waste hurt every member OF society?
This vast sum is distracted from le-
climate business channels, Our
merchants are forced to sell less goods,
the grocer less supplies, the farmer
less products, the manufacturer less
wares the doctor and lawyer get less
money, the preacher and teacher less
pay, the wife has less to spend, and
the children have fewer clothes and
much less food than would be the case
we're not a dollar spent for whiskey.
Who can deny this proposition? That
is the money phase of the question.
But turn to the other side of the pict-
ure and see how it hurts society in
the crime it produces, in the homes
and hearts it devastates, in the man.
hood it wrecks, in the hopes and hap
pipess it withers, in the intellect it
palsies, in the graves it digs, and in
the taxes it piles up for honest labor
to pay,
What would some fond father give
not to have drunken son. What
would some devoted wife not do if she
did not have a drunken husbandi
How many little children's hearts
nightly wait, and Ewatch, and pray
that papa may come home sober
Shall all this long catalogue OF waste
fulness, and ruin, and sorrow be sane
toned by law, and upheld by christian
people, by patriots, and philanthro
pists--and all in the name of libert.
and personal rights.
