The Wilkesboro Extension.

In order to keep our readers posted we
desire to state that everything pertaining to
the building of the Wilkesboro extension is
becoming assured facts. Work upon the
line is to be prosecuted upon large scale,
as all hindrances have been satisfactorily
adjusted and in few days the people may
expect to see men all along the line throw
ing dirt. This we have been reliably assur-
ed. The large cut across Liberty Street
will be worked upon by double force pro-
vided light can be secured from the Electric
Light Company. 1t is proposed to have
trains running as far as ten miles on the
line by August and THE SENTINEL believes
it will be.

Der of mules have just been brought up and
