WINSTON, n c., Sept. lit has
been learned from different parties that
an effort will be made to extend the
Roanoke and Southern road beyond
Roanoke, Va. to Salem, seven miles dis
tant. If this is so it will open up another
good field to the road President A. NJ.
Bowman, of the Salem Development
Company, declares that he has letters
from the North Carolina and Virginia
Construction Company declaring that it
is their intention to push the line on to
Salem, and that the present contract
with Roanoke will not prevent them
from so doing.
The difficulty between the Danville
and New River road and the Roanoke
and Southern over the treatment of the
Martinsville, Va, is said to have been
amicably adjusted. In their grading the
r. & S. hands could not help blasting
rock &c. that would fall on the D. & N.
line
Over hundred pupils have been ad-
ded to the graded school since its opening
Monday. The number of pupils has so
increased that new room is being fitted
up, and Miss Laura Chandler, one Of the
old teachers, been asked to take tempo
rary charge Of the classes.

The Chronicles business manager,

ing the pulse Of cur people with respect
to their appreciation Of the space daily
given to our city by your excellent
paper. Although more talent and time
could have made that space more al
tractive, yet it has been open, ever-ready

cerning her business development, hel
grand future and her newsy happenings,

Yesterday evening late telegran
came, announcing that the Roanoke
full professional baseball team woul(
arrive in our city to-day to play th'
Winston Invinclbies. 1t is feared b,
our people that our team has weakened t.
some extent since it played that team OF
its own grounds, as Lanier and Ben
nett, two of our strongest men, ar
gone; but We are hopeful Of victory, a
we can put some good men in thei
places North Carolina has never seel
before such ball as is being played i
Winston this year Probably their see
/ ing so little is one cause of their non
: appreciation Of the game. Winston ha
> certainly won the championship OF th
l South this year for North Carolina.
