THE ROANOKE AND SOUTHERN.

The interesting and novel sight of
engines running on the Roanoke and
Southern tracks, from the Norfolk and
Western, south to the river, has been of
frequent occurrence for the past week.
1t is learned that sufficient funds are in
hand to push forward the building of
this road to completion at the earliest
possible date. Roanoke should not
underestimate the Importance Of this
road 1t will bring us near to incxhaus-
tiblc supplies Of building numbers Of
the best quality and to valuable mineral
deposits.
More than that, it will open up direct
communication with the South Atlantic
seaboard and give Roanoke a CONNER
cial Importance commensurate with its
rapid growth. 1t is not improbable
that tho last rail will be laid and the
last spike driven connecting Winston
and Roanoke before the snow flies. and
Roanoke will send her Christmas greet
ing to Winston by rail over the Roanoke
and Southern.
