From the following. it appears as if
another important railroad enterprise
is about to be undertaken by the Sea-
board system. A spedial sent out
from Greensboro conveys this INTEL
ligence:
GREENSBORO, n. c., Oct. 4-The Sea-
board system OF railroads, as controlled
by Col. John NJ. Robinson, of Baltimore,
seems determined to invade the territory
of the Richmond & Danville at this place.
The Atlantic & Danville road is now com.
pleted from Norfolk, Va, to Blue Wing,
system now has an engineer traversing
the route from this place to Blue Wing
and then on to Ridgeway. n. C., which is
station on the Raleigh & CASTOR road
between Weldon aud Raleigh, and under
control OF the Seaboard system.
1t is the intention of Col. Robinson
either to use the Atlantic & Danville road
to Norfolk from Blue Wing or to build a
new road from this place to Ridgeway,
| the distance being 80 miles from here to
Norfolk and So miles from here to Ridge
way. The moneyed men of this town and
all along the line are thoroughly inter-
ested in this project, and the private sub
scriptions and county subscriptions will
aggregate enough to grade the road.
build the bridges, and put down the cross
ties Col Robinson will then put down
the iron and put in the rolling stock and
| operate the road.
There is now no competing line at this
place from the North. The Richmond &
Danville has full sway here. 1t is sur
missed that this move of the Seaboard
system means that bid is to be made
for the lease of the North Carolina road
from Charlotte to Goldsboro when the
present lease to the Richmond & Danville
expires, which, if successful, would give
the Seaboard system another and much
shorter outlet from Charlotte to Norfolk.
The country from here to Blue Wing and
Ridgeway is the finest tobacco growing
land in the United States, and there Ii
coal and timber land undeveloped.

Says the Durham Sun: Day by day
the superiority of newspaper advertis-
ing over other means is becoming bet
ter known. Manager Delavan, of
Meriden, in journal interview, told
this truth: Autographs don't amount
to much as an advertisement. In fact
shows are dropping the dead wall ad-
vertising and are going in more for the
newspapers. About every man who
is bright enough to GO to a show reads

Smiling Faces and Happy Hearts.

1t is a blessing to a man to be able to
wear smiling face and carry within his
bosom happy heart always. 1t does not
fall to the lot of all to do this, though,
unless they are growers of fine bright to-
bacco and sell at Davis Side-Light ware
house. This will do the work for man is
generally cheerful and happy when he has
a full pocket-book. And this is exactly
the condition they find themselves in after
making sale at the Side-Light-the old
standby of the farmers.
Owen Davis the proprietor is hard
worker and he counts nothing lost when he
can protect and further the interest of his
patrons. The very liberal patronage &C
corded the Side-Light speaks in its favor:
The farmers appreciate the energetic and
indefatigable services of the proprietor in
their behalf and they have very substan-
tial way Of showing it. He begins the new
tobacco year with renewed zeal and de-
termination and if hard work, honest
weights. fair dealing and high prices count
for anything (and they do) he will con
tinue to sell his share Of the farmers to

Dave, we are almost envious of such
a treat. Surely there is no finer grape
than the James. But Vance county

large quantities Of them we hope.
Many of our citizens have been grow
ing young vines purchased of Mr.. War
rem year or two ago. We would like
to see them cultivated more generally,
and as soon as the superior worth OF
the James grape becomes known we
are sure it will receive greater recogni-
ton and attention.

To Kickers Wherever They May be.

To kickers Wherever They May be.
The following beautiful prose-poem
we find in the last issue of the Murphy
Bulletin. 1t was written and dedicated
to those people who are opposed to a
mighty sight more than they are in
favor Of
st. Peter sits by the heavenly gates,
his hands on the strings of Tyre, and he
sings low song as hepatiently waits for
the souls of those who expire. He hears
in the distance the chorus of songs that
swells from thefoot of the heavenly throne,
and he smiles as the music is waited along,
and MARBLES lay of his own. "There is
room in this region for millions of souls,
who by sorrow and woe were bereft It's
for those who have suffered the melody
rolls, but the kickers must turn to the
left! There is room for people who when
they were young, persistedin sowing wild
oats, yet who doomed up their town with
sinew and tongue, but the kickers must
go with the goats! There is room for the
people who pointed with pride to the
beauty and growth of their town, who
kept singing its parises aloud till they
| died, but the kickers will please ambl,
| down! They'd say that the music was
all out of tune, and the angelic robes
'hand-me-downs,' and they'd send for {
jeweler off to the moon to sample the golG
in their crowns. So while there is room
for a million of souls, who by sorrow anC
woe were bereft, we want no complaint o
the music that rolls, so the kickers mus
| turn to the left!'

Walter II. Henry and the Cross and
White Case.

The Raleigh correspondent of the
Durham Globe says:
Walter R. Henry, Esq, of counsel for
Cross and White, said to-day that he
would leave for Washington on the 18th
instant, and be present when their case is
taken up ON the Dist in the Supreme
Court, and argue the same unless he sue
ceeds in obtaining writ of certiorari,
which if obtained will work another con-
tinuance. He hopes to get this and thus
stave the case off for another term. The
probability is, he says, that he will not
succeed in securing the writ. Mr.. Henry
says that though he is as confident OF his
casein this court as ever, he has prepared
fresh line of defense, that is, has dis
covered new point which will have to
be determined in case the Supreme Court
of the United States decides against him,
before the case of Cross and White can
be finally determined. Mr.. Henry de
clines to make known to any one his new
point.

Seldom do the fates decree that two
more clever, afable and accomplished
gentlemen shall be associated together
in business than Meador & Knight, the
very popular young merchants who but
a few months ago came to us from Vir-
ginia and made their home in Hender-
son. Each is the very soul of clever
ness and it is hard to tell which excels
the other in this respect. They have
been raised behind the counter and
thoroughly understand their business
They make strong team. No wonder
they sell so many goods. They keep
everything their patrons want, and
they can't help trading with them.
They treat everybody right, and their
customers only regret that they have
not more money to spend. 1t is rea
pleasure to trade with them.
