See here, friend, better use a
little of that over-abundance of
enthusiasm you are exhibiting
as to what the United States
would do to Spain in case of
war, towards making Edenton
the Invest town in Eastern Caro-
lima. You would no. be needed
if there was war; in fact, a
team OF horses couldn't draw
you into it, but say, with jack
plane ard hammer you could
work wonders. You'd be a
small man in war, too, but do
something tor your town, and
you will grow wonderfully
not only IN your own eyes, but
i'll the estimation of your fellow
toWnsmen.
We are informed that active
work upon the extension Of the
Suffolk and Carolina railway to
Edenton will be started in
course of a few weeks and ac>
lively pushed to completion.
With but seventeen miles of
road to be built, over a perfectly
level section, this means that
Edenton will soon have another
outlet to all points. Onr people
have exhibited a proper spirit
in giving aid both financially
and otherwise towards securing
the road; with the additional
transportation company we can
secure the advantage of proper
competition On our freight, both
that which we ship and what we
receive; we can offer to the mans
ufacturer a choice of lines, and
finally, we will regain the trade
from the upper part of the Com
ty, which rightfully is due us,
but is now going to Suffolk
These are but few of the advan-
tages. but the last one alone is
worthy of all the work we may
do towards helping to get the
road. Really, it's good thing
push it a long.
At the request OF quite MUM
Der of our readers in Chowan

ing communication-of the mat
ter we know nothing, nor have

just accusation, we shall be pleas
