McRoberts viii celebrate.

r.
The track layers on the new ex-
tension of the Lexington & East
ern railroad through the county
have reached Noon on Boone's Fork,
three miles from McRoberts, the
new city at the terminus Of the
road, and with two small bridges to
delay the work five more days will
be required to reach McRoberts. The
new city is preparing to celebrate
the occasion In grand style. While
the growth of the new city has been
most remarkable, it will rise more
rapidly after the road is completed,
as all the necessary building ma
terial had to be shipped into the
industrial center.
Great industrial activity is every
where evidenced by the completion
of railroads into this section and
the opening Of its vast coal and
timber wealth. New towns ace
springing up almost overnight and
floods of dollars are being expend-
ed. This is rapidly becoming the
greatest industrial section in the
South.
