The Roanoke s southern.

A gentleman going down on the train on
the evening of the meeting of the directors
of the Roanoke & Southern Railroad, held
in this city on Dec. 26th, heard the gentle-
men from Martinsville and other points
conversing upon the meeting and the out
look for the road being built. Said the gen.
tleman to reporter, 'they talked jubilant,
and one of them said he thought that the
meeting held that day settled the question
regarding the completion of the road. The
men in Winston seem to be enthusiastic over
the matter, and think our work of to-day
will be the result of great deal.''
This is good news, and in addition the
Danville Register, of recent date, prints
the following, which throws weight upon
our minds in convincing us that the people
along the line are growing determined upon
building this line of read. That paper
says: "John D. Spencer, one of the Mar
tinsville directors of the Roanoke & South
ern Railroad, returned from the Winston
meeting feeling considerably enthused. He
thinks the prospects for the road are better
now than ever before. The Henry dslega-
CATION strongly favors the formation of .
home company, that is, among the stock
holders. One Henry county man says he
will take stock to the amount of 1875, 900 in
such a construction company"

The "Boss" Mail Contractor,

In conversation with an old citizen few
days since, our reporter learned of a very
amusing incident which happened before
Winston Salem knew what it was to have
railroad facilities. 1t was in the days when
the passenger was transferred from one
place to another upon the old four horse
stage.
Ed. Clements was the "boss" mail con-
tractor for the lines leading out from Salem
emong the number was neto High Point,
which place was at that time The nearest
railroad station. Mr.. Clements ron this
line for several years, carrying the mail,
passengers, ETC., without anyone to "molest
or make him afraid" but at last Mr..
Hampton underbid Mr.. G. for the route.
Mr.. Hampton's action was not altogether
pleasing to Mr.. Clements, whereupon the
latter gentleman resolved to Guido his COM
petitor, if possible, by continuing to run bis
stage and carry passengers at a reduced
price. Both gentlemen began to cut on
prices (hs first price being $500 for each
passenger) until the price was shaved down
to so cents
Neither looked smilingly upon the other
but both continued in cutting prices until
Hampton transferred them free Of cost.
This incensed Clements and he was then
more fully determined to Guido his lively
competitor. He then announced to all per-
sons desiring to come to old Salem, that if
they would ride with him, it should cost
them nothing, and beside that free break
fast awaited them at the Zevelly House.
This plan proved too much for Hampton,
and he was compelled to give up his con-
tract. Mr.. Clements continued running On
this line for several years and is yet recog-
nized as the "boss' mail contractor in North
Carolina

Refused to wed Her Ono. Intended.

During the holidays number of matri-
monial events took place in Forsyth and ad-
joining counties, several of which might be
termed somewhat romantic. In neighbor-
ing town, few days since, an event of this
kind was about to take place. The legal
document had been purchased and the pros
pective bride stood in readiness to be led to
hymen's altar. The intended groom arriv-
ed, but to his surprise he was met at the
door by indignant relatives of his intended,
who informed him that he could not marry
any one at that house Uncemplimentary
remarks passed and the opposer of the mar
riage emphasized his remarks by knocking
the would-be groom down. The confusion
was quieted by the young lady appearing
and declaring that she would not marry the
fellow. The disappointed man could do
nothing but take his departure, which he
did in a staggering manner. The affair is
said to have caused a considerable sensation
es some Of the parties are highly connected.

A Card From Citizen.

EDITOR SENTINEL Through your col
umns desire 10 call the attention of the
city fathers to the almost impossible condi-
ton in which Fourth Street, leading into
East Winston, is in during bad weather. In
the hollow beyond the railway crossing,
where Depot Street passes, it is a disgrace
to the town and its authorities. This we
think true, when one considers that a few
loads of rock and few days work from the
street force would put it in a much better
condition. We trust the Commission
ers will make note of this and act upon it
at once.
Unless some disposition is shown in this
matter, am aware fthe fact that the pres
ent board will fail to receive number of
votes at the next municipal election.
hint to the wise is sufficient. CITIZEN.

Reformed From Drinking.

A few days ago we were told Of a gentle
man, resident of this county, who had for
many years been addicted to the use of strong
drink, but was at last brought to reforma-
ton through the death of a bright little
daughter 1t was last Christmas year ago
that the child was called away, and through
her death the father was brought to reflect
on his past career. Here he resolved-and
good one it was-to abandon the use of the
vine cup. His bottle, containing small
quantity of the "damnable evil, "as he term
ed it, was called for and its contents emp
tied Then calling to his wife, the man in
formed her of his resolution, and that dur
ing the coming year he intended to place
the money he had to spend for intoxicating
liquors in the bottle, where he might real
ize the amount spent in one year.
The plan was adopted and carried out,
and at the close of the year the money was
counted, and to the surprise of both husband
and wife, the amount was over one hundred
dollars. The result of one years sober life
was SO gratifying that the man has entered
upon another resolution of like manner for
the coming year. We are informed that
during the past year his home has been a
bright and happy one.
