Will to Built Anyway.
- There will probably be a contest
in the courts over the subscription
voted by the city, under certain
conditions, to the Wilmington, Ons
low & East Carolina R. R. We hear,
however, that the road will be
built, no matter what the decision
maybe. It is probable that nearly
$50,000 have already been expended
by the company. The road is gra
ded almost to New River, say within
ten miles of that stream, and large
contracts "for cross-ties have been
made, which are being delivered all
along the line. The road will go to
Jacksonville.

incidents of the play are all excee
sively ex siting, and as a rule well
played. There was quite an ambi
tious attempt made in the matter of
singing and dancing, and it received
much applause. Mr. Beers' company
htfvo got the sort of play and per
forms it with the vigor that will un"
doubtedly insure it continued popu

, It improbable that the C; F. - & Y.
V. R. R. will be open to traffic in a
few days, perhaps by" the Jirst of
next week. This is mere-surmise on
onr part and is based upon the fact
that' the road is now completed
nearly to Parkersburg, in Bladen
county, about "35 miles from Fay
etteville. It will reach Parkersburg
this week, and as this is a good ob
jective point, we think it will be
made the first terminus and that
trains will be put on next week. It
is expected now that the road will
get into Fayetteville by the middle
of January or the first of February.
