EarmrIlle's PRESSING Need.

Ednor H,r0ld, have often been
reminded Of the large expenditure Of
money and outlay when ! look at the
granoiithic sidewalks and stone aud
brick paved streets. and IL frequently
occurs TO me how all this expense
might come 20 mean but little 90 orr
town if something s NOT done tomake
the town itself forge ahead. We are
holding our own just now % is true,
but new competitors are sprInging up
not far distant. which by their traffic
location Wit soon begin 90 take our
trade away from us and in the course
Of few years. though we may still
have our sidewalks and paved streets,
there will be- Tower people 10 travel
them and the rumble of the wagon
will cease Co sound the note of bust
ness. do not mean that famville
will cease 90 Dee. or that business will
come 10 a end here but do mean to
say that il VIII only bea quiet unpro-
grcssive country town constantly los
ing in Importance
What we neei here most is another
railroad, and we have the opportunity
OF getting "a railroad connection with
the great Tidcwaicr Railroad
and also with The g.. 81 %. by con-
ncction at Aryona. This line can be-
built at less co-t than amy similar
road ever knew Of a company will
build from Areonia 10 the Iidcwater
through farmyille if those along the
line will take one-lhird of the bonds Of
the road, or even less. This one-third
will not come 90 more Than '20,W0O0
and moreover % Will bee secured by
first mortgage bonds ON the road.
five are content to do nothing we
will soon lose our Luncnbmg and
Charlotte trade. The towns NOW be-
ing built viii take much of thc trade
that rightfully belong, To us.
] learned from Mr. Hugh Davis,
who was one of the committee, 90 see
the officials of the 1dewalcr
Railroad, that Tins company has
bought more coal land, in Virginia
aud West Virginia than the two big
coal roads, y a. " and g.. a. o., have
purchased combined aud this incIud-
ing the large purchase recently made
hy the y a w.
If we could have coal delivered a.
chcaply as Norfolk and other elite, far
more distant from the coal fields than
Farmville we could doubles, bee able
20 induce manufacturing plants TO
come here owing Co ihe chcapness of
living and thc low rent Tor land and
buildings Many of these plants are
now located 100 cities on account of the
cheapuess of coal and we an know
that this means high wages TO en-
ployccs 90 meet the living expenses of
the cities
hope that thc people Of Faumyille
will see the importance Of this road.
Some years ago a subscription was
circulated and few of us subscribed.
Let us take hold of this matter and
raise the necessary money and get
this railroad which BE- undoubtedly the
greatest need Of the town not 90 say
the whole county.
