Sutae work ban been done on the ford
of the rivtr at thin place, fur whioh we
muse thank our oouoty commissioners.
But we do think it a shame that thou
sands of dollar* should be spent in bui'rt
iog and keeping up a budge aori.ss Tow-
Fork, a stream that may be crowd auy
da; by traveling a few miles out of th
way, or if necessary one days journey
would otrry the traveling pnblio entirely
around the head springs, while Dan rt-
Vtr running nearly the whole length ol
tbe county, fusing direotly by the COUII
ty seat, at times cannot be
foried in the oounty for one, two or three
days together, no difference what the
ueoessity may be, Must be put off with
jcntMrely a lUfle work fdowe an ford.-
We tie not object to Town Pork having
a bridge, bat it seems to as that if the
county is so poor that it oaonot bridge
both streams, that the river should be
bridged, in as much as th* larger part of
the taxpayers of tbe oeanty are interest
ed in orossing it, a very large part of tbe
people being on tb* opposite side from
the court house, and should they be atx
ious to orose cannot go up or down the
river a few mil** and find a ford that
th*y can cross at any day, as is the case
with the creek. It will take but little
wor* money to bridge tbe river than
Town Fork, while tbe money spent in
trying to better the ford on the river
fould pay for hauling rock enough to
make a first rate ford across Town Fork.
A Winston delegation has gone on to
see about the trad* between tbe Virgin
ia Midland and the Richmond .fc Dan
ville syndicate Th«y claim that the
town and eounty subscription wore bat
ed on the condition that the Virginia
Midland was to be operated as a couupet
ing line. "It is aa ill wind that blows,"
&c. The prospective complications are
enconraging to tbe lawyer.
Since tbe above the delegation has
returned. A representative of the Fat
riot met Mr. Buxton at the McAdo*
House and learned from him that the
conference with the Virginia Midland
authoritiea was entirely satisfactory.
The work on the road will now be vig
orously pushed. No question will be
raised as to tbe local subscriptions Th*
working foree will ha iuertaseJ y> 1 (tITO
' hands at once, and in a short time the
iron horse will go snorting into tbe am
broy oity of Walnut Ceve. Mr. Buxton
learned in Washington that the new
owners of the Virgiuia Midland are much
pl*as*d with their new purohaae.—

News-Papers.
Senator Butler, of South Barolina, has
a very correct vitw of the necessity of
having a paper. He says:
"Journalism has become as mach a
separate and distinct profession as med
ioine or law or engineering, or agricul
ture or mining, and every family should
have a newspaper if they expect or care
to keep pace with ths current of eaents
in this fast-moving ace Books are not
always scoesaible, but newspapsrs are,
and at a prioe which places them with
in tbe reaoh of the poor as well as the
rich."
Tbe Carolina Central Railroad depot
at Charlotte was destroyed by fire on
Monday night last, invelviog a looss of
some $5,000.
The corn orop in Hide county is bet
ter by far than it has been in years;
that whioh i* said of Hide holds good
with all the Northeastern counties; in
fact from all the oounties on our sea
board the sam* cheering tidings come.
Tb* cars on the Psint Rock branch
oftb* Wrstern North Carolina road are
now running to a point Gve miles below
Alexsnder's,and the track is beinj rabid
ly laid down the river.
Some idea may be gained of the num
ber of viaitors in Asheville from the fact
that with aixty five horses in the stables
of Weddin & Bailey, btsides those in
other stables, it is often impossible to
g*t a horse or conveyance for love *r
money.— Asheville News.

a Istter whiob must have been polished off with flaxseed.
It is sleek, asd calculated to slid* down the throat of any

training will bs proof against the insinuating aweetnrss ol
Bnford's pleasant missive. Our opinion is tbat tho Rioh

asny. The people will weloome the blunt, brave advooate
of tbeir rights in tbo person of Senator Vanoe. Ws differ
widely with him in politics, and always havs; bat ws must
acknowledge our unbounded admiration of his honest and
9»nly attuned injskmg a public stand with tha people
against the enoroaobmeets ot ao unscrupulous, tyrannical
and selfish railroad corporation. In these daya when most
man ask office tor the purpose of ssrving ths sssmiss ot

it is pleasant snd gratifying lo find one* man occupying a
