The Wilkesboro road is graded to
Rural Hall, where it makes connee-
ton With the C. F. & Y v Railroad,
making n direct line to Mt. Airy.
Nearly eight miles of track have been
laid and the cars will be running
through TO Rural Hall by the 1st of
January, if the weather continues
favorable About two miles have
been graded vest of Rural Hall and
a. large. force, about three hundred
men, are between that z 7int and the
Yadkin River at Hauset Ferry. The
recent SUI scription apa extension of

comfy insures the bunding OF the
road to .Wilkesboro, and the pros
poets for it being extended through
the State to "a connection with the
East Tennessee and Georgia Road in
Virginia, is very good
ROANOKE AND SOUTHERN
The grading from Winston-salem
to Walnut Cove, a distance of sew
enteen and one-half miles, is praeti-
cally done and track laying at the
Walnut Cove end will be commenced
within the next ten days, and the
weather being favorable the cars will
be running from Winston Salem to
Walnut Cove within thesaext sixty
DAYS. Fourteen miles from the
North Carolina line to Martinsville,
Va. this being the heaviest work on
the line. was1et out to contract sever
al months ago and six and one hall
mikes pitt has been graded, At the
meeting of the stock holders of the
Railroad Co, and of the Va. and n.
C. CONSTRUCTION Co., held in Roam
oke, Va, this week, it was decided to
receive bids on the grading of the %
miles between Walnut Cove and the
Virginia State line, so that it,isseN -
pected that the ears viii be running
to Martinsville within the nexttwelve
months If RoanokeeGity votes an
other hundred thousand dollars to
the road and>Franklin county, Va,
votes one hundred thousand, it is
believed that the Va. and n. c. Com
struction Co. will take the contract
from II tinsville to Roanoke as soon
as the subscriptions are voted, and
push the work rapidly until thewliole
line is complete. Points south Of
US are already makingefortsto build

& NORTH CAROLINA MIDLAND.
The section of this road from Win
ston to Mocksville is being graded
rapidly Already about four miles
of new grading3ais been done, This
adaeelsto the grading done several
years ago makes about haIfthe dis
tance from WINSTON to Mocksville
graded. We congratulate the rail
road company on-their good judge
ment, and the peopleof Winston and
Salem on the final loea tion Eof that
part of the road to Frank Miller s
farm twp and one-half mites west OF
Winston The location made is on
the old line of the Nc. Midland, ma
king the shortest route possible to
Mockssille. 4 On account of the heavy
work on this line it was feared that
the railroad company would increase
the distance by running out on the
| iWilkesboro Extension about three
and one-half miles, and then going
on the level ridge west of Winston
where the grading would be light.
1t is said on what seems to be
good authorityithat the contempla-
ted road from Reidsville to Ker-
nersville will soon be built This
IS a cheap line and by reference
to the map it viii be. seen that by
building from Reidsville to Kerners-
lyille and completing the n C. Mid
land to Mooresville, most of which is
graded, the Richmond & Danville
swill have an air line, independent Of
the leased N C. Road, from West
Point on the York River via Rich
mond, Danville, Winston, Mocksville,
Mooresville TO Charlotte
HIGH foasr ROAD.
- twill be remembered that our eiti.
zens have q conditional arrangement
made to build from Winston. Salem
Ito High Point to make connection
with the road now being built from
that pIace:to Asheboro.
