M. McCane, a wealthy lumberman, operating in John son county, have been here du ring the post week, and should the people of Watauga feel en ough interest in the enterprise (and we are confident that they will) to help in the construction of a road, it is now an assured fact that Watauga, at last, is to have connections with the out side world by a railroad system. It is not yet clearly understood what the promoters of the enter prise will demand at the hands of our people, but they propose to make the survey, crossing the state line at Trade, come down Cove Creek, by way of Sugar urove, then on to Boone, the tcr minal of the road, at present. After the road is surveyed and the cost of construction estima ted, then the amount of bonds to be asked for will be decided up on, and the county asked to vote t hereon, the amount not 'to ex ceed 75,000. Then after the bonds are voted the company a- grees to fill a bond for the com pletion of the road to Boone within 18 months. Ourlormer propositions have been to issue the bonds when the road is completed, and as a con sequence the people have become tired ol propositions of that kind as the road always fails to ma terialize.: But these gentlomen come at us in a different and more satisfactory manner. They say issue your bonds, take stock in the road.,to the amouut there of, and they afrree to fill a bond for the completion oftlie road with in eighteen months. What could be fairer? If they fail to build the road the county is evidently gain er to the amount of the bond: if they do build it, the property in Watauga will be enhancod more than 100 per cent. .Now is the time for our people ;o bend their every enererv for the consummation of this enter prise, for we canno't longer af- ord to be shut off from the out side world, when it is easily with in our power to procure a road that will give us a good market lor our lumber, produce etc., and give us direct communication with the coal fields of Virginia Let us give these promotors a the encouragement possible in their undertaking, and be ready to vote solidly for the bonds when the opportunity presents itself. We can not lonsrer afford to be the accumulators of wealth for some sister counties. Iwhen it is within our power to brine a market for our products to our own doors. ertv. Middle Fork, L. D.
