Should any community despair of a bright Sni) i pri.sper.ns future, when the f ict ia 'I consideredjthat added to the ninny natural ! ; advantages already mentioned, take the i steeple ol the Episcopal church t Weldon i as a locus, vjth a radius ol Jjity miles and , fit will to?oi),pitj the nio-t productive ' and perhaps the beat cultivated portion of j Virginia am? N irtli G imlin.a ? I Ilarniony ol thought and action are es sential to tliu success ol every institution or corporation Let us first and foremost J j have concert ol action amongst i ur bil-i men ol Weldon biuI thosi! ol the al jiicent countiy -without this our best elf r'.a must fiit. Wjj ajl deplore the lact j that the business prospeUj oj Weldon are 'gloomy at present, an I vye all agree that the cause in a great degree is local. The J fluid, which swept away the Seaboard I bridge, cut off a'ljiost entirely the N'-rt h f ampton trade which was certainly a very "i i wge lactor in the business ol our town, f T Ins portion of our trade must be re- tlaiine.l. VVe must establish easy commit-1 ' -.' nic.Uion with Northampton. A good, sub- stanlial and perfectly sale lerry across the " Roiinnke river at Weldon Is tliu only avail- 1 Vj ible means by which at pre.-cnt tl;iiau tie doo,e. Tt?e business rften o) Weldon should v wjtluwt delay form a stock company and obtain a charter for this ferry, an I li ve it f in tuceesslul operation belore the tall trade , opens, otherwise we can not possibly hi js fo regain this most desira 1c pi r ion of imr trade. For the patt lew years mw husi-i ness houses have beeu opened and storks have accumulated, n .itwjlhstandi ng the inguiar fuel that we hue o,t addni a fingle new cuctoairr to o.pr business. I' this continues the mercantile intirests of Weldon must s,ulTer. 4" the business houses .cannot be suppor ud. The lu.-t impor tant consideration to thc.traic of any town is accessibility to the surrounding country. ,()n,r roads in winter are a'most impassible. flHie l&riefs say they can sot Iviul the r .cotton and other ptodui e over these roa Is. The consequence is that a very lii'e por ,tion of coiion whi.ch leaitimittely shoul t .come to Weldon, toes to Enfield, Hiust w.ond a' d llalilax. linn can Hiis be p c veuted? The answer is ;u;pe. Mike the toads kooiJ. 7''e best road is a turnpike. Let us then by all meant build a turnpike 'j trortl Weldon to Ruigwood, ibis turnpike ' 1 well kept will in a short time dU'eit Irom LV.II..1.1 II !,....,.,,, I 1,,, ,ot bales ol cotton to Weldon. The e are many reasons why this pr iduce would be .brought to Weldon ei'her lor sile or ship ment. Tile excessive charges on the Yil minittnn & Weldon railroad arc an impo sition upon ,tlio larprj. They would il this turnpike wbs built, haul lU'it cotton 25 ruilca to Weldon rather 'ban pav this exorbitant Ireijjht. Xh' X'oi.l I also do w ,y with re-shipncnt and neeesiarily lessen the cost ol transporution. Tnese parties ,once In Weldon, besides findmij a ready market for ihe.ir cptton,will pud larner and better sti(cl:s lu select irom tha,a eUewhere, and they Mill ol course spend their m mey in our town. This turnpike can be built ,with comparatively little cost. Let the. business men lorm a company as proposed or the lerry, assess each member Ui pro portion as he will be benefited, tnj:ia his amount ol property and business s a standard. Appoint two active Ulieictit men.one pt cieil end if tfce proposed route, and let thea solicit aid in the way oi mules wagons, plows, labor, H, fiom the farmers along the line of this roid, with the money , which Weldon would easily raise we cou:d ,wit,Uin aixty days establish a most ixeel ' lent avcoue to trade which in a single sea son will so increase the trade of Weldon ,that we will realize five hundred per cert, .on tho money expended l.n making the .road, and will double the trad; of Weldon in twelve months. With easy anil pcrmanrnt communiea- tion with Northampton and a cood t'.irn , piko to Ringwnod which would open up a large exte t of back country, euun .would be placed on carr.er ol .prosper ity, not thought ol by its oiler inhabitants.
