Wants the r oanoke and Southern.

Charlotte wants the Roanoke and South
ern Railroad extended from Winston to
that city, and with that end in view, meet
ings are being held there by the citizens
who are discussing the question OF voting a
subscription, and planninga route for the
road. A correspondent in last Saturday s.
Chronicle says:
Thinking that if some Of our opponents
to progress were enlightened somewhat as
to how and where the above named road
would more than likely run into our coun-
~, and as to the general route it would
take between Winston and Charlotte. it
might have the effect of letting them see
wherein thev themselves would be greatly
benefited, as to their own financial interest
which our people are sharp enough to see,
There is not an individual interest redouud.
ing to any one but that its influence is di.
rectly or indirectly felt by every citizen in
the county.
As for the route say from Winston to
Jerusalem, in Davie county, to Mill Bridge
In Rowan county, Edimiston, in Rowan
county, to Eastfeld, in Mecklenburg coun.
ty, to Montieih's in Mecklenburg county, tt
Charlotte-to any one who has Travelled
\ over the above route, and through the sec
tions of country in which the above point
are located, know full we'll that there is no
finer farming lands to be seen in our State
than,are found on this line. The Who'll,
rnute lies in well watered section
Throughout; and tire is where to find goo,
productive lands Three-fourths of thu
route is in the finest grain producing section
of the State and as we are to have a hun
dred barrel roller mill soon, there is n
projected route from which finer whea
could be had, besides the many other pro
ducts of our generous soil.

Mr.. Bradford for Doorkeeper.

THE SENTINEL is glad to publish an ex-
tract from an article in the Ne,cs and Obser-
Ter endorsing our towDsman, Mr.. J. w.
Bradford, for Doorkeeper of the House.
He has served our people as Chief of Po-
lice and as Jailer and has done his duty
well. lie is loyal to the Democratic party
in fact he is one of the best Democrats in the
county-and We hope he will be elected
The Ne~s and Observer correspondent
says: If elected he will serve we'll and
faithfully the House, and will win the re-
spect and confidence of all its members.
Forsyth for many years has been fighting
manfully against radicalism, having no
offices but simply doing her duty as a pri-
vate in the ranks, and therefore we hope
when we come asking this small place for
one of our worthy citizens that the members
of the House may hear us and elect Mr.
Bradford

LEoPoLp's new YEAR's GREETING
The year lies dead in yonder west,

The year lies dead in yonder west,
With snow-drifts heaped upou his breast
And meath the veil of cleaning grey,
Goodbye old year, we softly say,
Goodbye old year and may we find,
Thy choicest blessings left behind:
And all the sorrow fled away
As shadows flee at dawn of day.
The snow is lying lightly
On the wind-swept-meadow way.
Where the frost is shining brightly
On each tiny leaf and spray.
And Leopold's kind greeting
Now comes to every ear.
Here's every blessing to you
And q happy bright New Year"
Moral: Smoke Leopold's Havanas.
