The last link in tho line of railway
which connecta Wilmington with the
mountains of the Blue Ridge has been
completed; the last spike was driven
yesterday. We now have a true North
Carolina eystem,such as a Caldwell could
but dream of. It has been reserved for
gentlemen from another State, who have
vast interests within'our borders, to do
the work and build the road. The North
Carolina system is now a practical real

mington in the morning and stabled un
der the shadows of the Blue Ridge at
night. We congratulate ourselves
we congratulate the company, we con
gratulate everybody, on tho cnrltion
of this grand enterprise. Let the Great
West belch forth its stores of mineral
wealth into the harbor of the Cape
