WINSTON, N. c., Oct. 2S.-The effect
is being seen at last of the 100000
worth of bonds issued for improving
Winston. A visitor to our city week
back would have naturally imagined that
our streets were the worst in the coun
try, and we could not have blamed him.
At that time everything was torn up and
Winston was in bad fix as far as pub
lie streets were concerned.
But now things are assuming great
er degree of decency, and the street COM
mltteemen are pushing the paving and
rolling of the tcOroughfares rapidly. Mt
Airy blocks are used chiefly, and they
are proving the best that have yet been
handled. The trees along the streets of
central portion of the city are being cut
down so as to broaden the sidewalks and
pave and curb them. OF course the old
citizens are raising objacti MS, yet Win
ston cannot progress like she should and
allow such growth to remain.
Ground rock is being hauled and
strewn along the streets that are not be-
ing paved, and roller weighing nearly
twenty thousand pounds is making fine
road bed out Of it. Every thing is on
the improve, and when our handsome
market house is built in January and the
National Bank building completed,
courthouse square will present a better
appearance. A vote on building a new
courthouse will probably be had next
spring, and when we do build a new one
it will be something handsome. The
bank building referred to will cost over
$40, 900 as will also the market house and
| fire department &c.
The Hanes mammoth tobacco works
building is nearly completed and the
roof is being placed on it. 1t is tre-
mendous structure and is by far the
largest plug factory in the South, hav-
ing working capacity of 100000
pounds Of plug per year. This is about
c1ree times the working capacity of the
old factory and every one knows there
fore that it must be immense.
The E1munds and Gilmer and Griffith
and Bohannon factories are also very
nearly completed and will add largely tc
the tobacco interests Of Winston.
In looking around the other day your
correspondent counted nine factories il
course of construction. Can any othel
city in North Carolina beat that?
The past week Winston downed Dan
vile BADLY on piag shipments. Th'
latter market only shipped 118, 00(
pounds while Winston shipped $780,
pounds Monday the Richmond ant
Danville agent said that tobacco Wen
to 24O different points on that day. b
this, one is able to gain some idea of ou
mammoth tobacco trade.

It is now certainty that the Roanok
and Southern road will pass throug
Rocky Mount, Va. This has been ur
, settled for some time. Your correspond
ent was told to day that the road woul
be finished to Stoneville in time for a
excursion to be run to Winston On circu
day, November 7th.
