SNOW HILL HUMPS HERSELF.
Prospect of Two New Railroads Makes
Things Hum.

Snow HILL y. c., Jan. 26-(Special.) y
The certainty of a railroad in the near
future is infuSing new life into Snow
Hill. In fact it seems that after vainly
trying for road for so long, Snow Hill
is now to become a center. The road
from Tarboro is looked upon as an as
sured fact, and capitalists are interested
in a proposed road from Goldsboro.
There is no better section of the State
than would be opened up by these roads.
Snow Hill is anticipating general re-
viyal by erecting suitable buildings. AL
ready two large brick stores have been
erected and two others are proposed for
the near future. One of these will in
clude apartments f6l the Bank of Snow
Hill, soon to be established. In view
of these general improvements, property
is higher than ever in the history of the
town and every one is looking forward
to an era of prosperity.
Meanwhile the farmers do not have to
wait for the railroad to get their fer
tiliZers. The recent rains have raised
the creek and boat loads Of guanos come
up daily.
1t is estimated that the tobacco crop
will be cut off at least % per cent from
last year.
