Some Interesting Information Relative
to Live Town with a Prospective
Future.
Special Correspondence of the Sentinel.
POND, Oct 1S-We are no longer
connected with the outside world by
cowhide traces, but by iron rails. Our
whole surrounding country feels bet
ter. than ever before. We are no
longer backwoods people, and would
like for the readers Of The SENTINEL
to know OF one of the most beautiful
sections. Of our State. A section where
pure air and water may be found.
Good society and other inducements
to those who are looking for a good
place to invest capital and grow up
with a new railroad town.
We are 19 miles northwest of
Greensboro on the C. F. & Y. V. r.
R., and about % miles northeast of
Winston, and Will be the second station
from Greensboo. A side track HOO
feet long has been laid off and the work
on the depot and other buildings will
begin soon. Every indication is that
thrifty town will soon spring up.
We have large farming section back
of us to sustain us, and the probability
is that we will have another railroad
and become quite railroad center.
A survey has already been begun from
| this place to Madison, - miles north
and will likely become a part Of the
Roanoke and Southern road or some
other road which will give us north
ern outlet Independent of the R. & D..
railroad, and it is only a matter of a
few years when the G. F. q Y. V. road
will penetrate the mountains and give
us through west connection nearer
than any other route to the great meat
and grain growing States, and with
Railroad advantages we expect men of
foresight to come among us, and open
up such industries as will lead to de-
veloping our many valuable resources
To men Of means, brain and energy
who desire to grow up with new
railroad town, look this way. Any
manufacturing interest will pay, such
as of tobacco, spokes and handles, wood
and iron shops, such as wagons, bug
gies, &C., fruit canning, fruit growing,
&c. Also good openings for teacher,
a doctor, and hotel or boarding
house. Several business houses will
soon go up and carpenters and brick
layers will find employment.
The writer has no /" axe to grind
no land to sell. But will say to any
one who will come here and means
business he can get a good lot at a low
rate.
