WINSTON, N. c., Dec. 9.-The an
nouncement made in the CHRONICLE of
Friday last, concerning the removal of
the Southern Tobacco Journal from Dan
Vile to this place, was surprise to the
tobacco trade of this entire section of
country over which it circulates and was
the first time it had been published.
Mr.. Harman, the young editor, is an
ambitious man, and he has set his heart
upon our thriving tobacco city as the
coming market of the world, believing
that as our wonderful back country is
brought to light, Winston will be com
peiled to grow in prominence and
wealth.
The opening up of the sections of the
1adkin, Forsyth, Surry and Wilkes
counties by the Winston and Wilkes
boro line; the bringing to light of
tie famous tobacco fields Of Stokes,
Rockingham and Henry counties by the
extension of the Roanoke & Southern
through that country, and the penetra-
ton OF the MockSville branch road into
the richest portion of country to the
South ofus, all these developments, all this
impetus to the growing of the weed give
to Winston, its natural market, an out
look not equalled by any city in the
world
Since these lines have penetrated into
our back country which has long been
known as the greatest chewing tobacco
beit OF the globe, the weed will be culti-
waited to far greater extent and these
roads will act as ready feeders to our
industrial growth.

kilograms from Wilkes and Surry
counties state that there has been quite
a heavy storm of snow prevailing along
the Blue Ridge and Alleghanies and
that the whole range is perfectly white
as far as the eye can reach.
Snow fell here yesterday morning but
the wet ground would not allow it to
stand long.
