Another Railroad.

Elizabeth City is the metrop>
oils of North Eastern North
Carolina. She is destined to
achieve greatness and her sous
and daughters need only to be-
stir themselves in order to real
ize that already her hour of
triumph has come.
The N. & S. R. r. put us in
touch with the outside world,
and has been and will continue
to be, great blessing. On
steamer and car her officials and
employees are attentive to the
public as we'll as careful in the
performance of their duties.
If the N. & S. has done sc
much in opening the way, can
anyone doubt that another road
putting us in touch with one Of
the greatest systems of the
country so that North, South
East and West are brought tc
our very doors.
The projected route from E
City to Suffolk, Va, will enable
us to realize the tremendous ad
vantages that great trunk sys-
tem, the Seaboard Air Line
always brings to its people.
| If Elizabeth City will only
put herself within reach of the
prosperity that awaits her the
half of her story has never beer
told.
We desire to see the day Wher
our docks will be crowded with
vessels loaded down with the
teeming fruits of this land O.
corn and plenty as we'll as the
products of the sea.
And when train after. train
shall rush through, the lane
distributing to the world that
which we gladly contribute tc
the we'll being OF all.
We need the railroad from
here to Suffolk. Let's have it
and the quicker the better.
