Pittsboro, n c., Aug. 27.-(Staff Cor

county seats of one of the largest coun-
ties in the State, which was long de-
MED the advantages of railroad COM
munication essential to large growth. But
during the hundred and eleven years
of its life, Pittsboro has been history
making town, the home of cultivated and
refined people, the summer home of rich
planters On the Cape Fear, and the abode
of as chiyalrous and patriotic people
as live in North Carolina.
From the days when CORVALLIS and his
army in camp near here, found the pa
triotism of the people of Chatham UNI
comfortable, there has been no period of
the history of the State when Chatham
men have not shown that in peace and
war they were patriots and true men.

for the good of the State, as well as to
promote his own success. He gives en-

affords an excellent market to the farm
ers for their hard wood. His business has
grown steadily from the beginning and
is the chief industrial establishment of
the place.

popular railroad agent here, and like
all the Seaboard's employees, is as popu-
lar as he is capable. Cooperating with
the progressive citizens of Pittsboro, the
advantages of PittsborO and the sur
rounding country are made known to the
world, with the result that valuable adj
ditons to the population have already
been made, and with the advent of bet
ter times there is every reason for the
confidence of great growth which is felt
here on every hand.
1t is now expected that the through
line which is being built from Durham to
Charlotte will pass through this place,
thus putting Pittsboro directly on a
through line. Its connection at Moncure
with the Seaboard Airline puts it with
in twelve miles of the splendid vestibule
through trains that pass through the best
section Of North Carolina. The line
from Durham to Charlotte would be an
other advantage that would hasten the
large growth of Pittsboro.

To show that il has paid Pittsboro
well to vote bonds to build its railroad,
il has been stated that enough money
has come to Pittsboro for the purchase
of railroad ties to pay the amount OF
the bonds issued As there was no mar
ket whatever for ties before the railroad
was built, this was an entirely new III
dustry developed by the railroad.
There has never been a boom here or
any attempt to start one. Values have
not been inflated, but are remarkably low
considering the nearness to markets.

lots for residences and eligible sites for
