MILLS ROAD moves
Grade From fuquay TO LiIl'
ington at Once.
New Rails Ordered For the Ten Miles Of Track
That Will Reach the Cape

The Cape Fear and Northern Railroad
is to be extended at once and will soon
be at the Cape Fear near to Lilling
ton.
This has been determined upon by
Messrs. John A. Mills and Walter Mills.
They will start in to have the grading
on the new portion of the road done next
week, and rail for ten mile extension
has been ordered.
The present terminus of the road is a
third of a mile this side of Fuquay
Springs and it will not go any nearer
these springs.
There has been some talk of the Raj
eigh and Cape Fear being sold to syn
dictate of New York or Pittsburg peo-
pie, but this deal is declared off and
Messrs. John A. Mills and Walter Mills
will themselves extend the road.
For at least the present the road will not
be carried across the Cape Fear, but will
have it's terminus, as soon as the new
ter miles of road is built. on this side
of the river, bat within sight of Lilling-
ton.
Being questioned upon the future di-
rection of the road after it went into
Ellington, as it seems certain it will.
the owners would say nothing of their
future plans. That the road will not
stop at Ellington is certain. but it's flu
ture route is guess work.

down the price. Those who sold

have done better this fall than those
who held for higher prices. Never
