Facts are the etubbbvsest things yet struck and these are what we intend to presemt. Tdtk Qummoir: WnriaMotrjrr A iky the Place? Because, 1. Asheville is growing because it is in a mountain section where , resorters spend the seasons. Win eton is on the grow, pushed forward by her great tobacco factories. Mount Airy, therefore, must be eventually grr'er than either, be- bause (a) her climate surpasses that of Asheville and (b). burry an Patrick counties raise better tobac co for plug manufacturing than do the counties around Winston. For - proof of the first ask any physician that has lived as long as two weeks in both places. And for proof of the second enquire of unprejudiced plug dealers. 2. Mount Airy is the trading centre for eight counties, four in Virginia .and four in North Caro- lina, Four tobacco and four stock laieing counties find here a thrifty marlcfit. fiifnatftd niar the State line at the end of a great railway I Vanning to two deep water ports, Y this city is the. shipping point for l hirtv milra a round . 3. Without any unusual effort q the part of its citizens, the pop- ition of the place lias doubled in tee years. It is now about 2,500, nd at the present rate of increase, ount Airy will have near 20,000 U souls when 1U00 shall roil another 1 century around 4. Within a few weeks an elec tion is to be held upon the question of issuing $50,000 in bonds for the paving of our streets and the loca tion Of an electric light plant. The vote will be almost unanimously in the affirmative, and as granite is al- ready here in abundance, paving Tejx. uc done ranch cheaper than at anv other place. 5. Jjf thcro was nothing else hero td base our calculations of a great city upon than the wonderful "eranita quarries, that would, in it self, bo sufficient to induce the in- I yestraent of capital m our midst. b V Just two miles northeast of the town Nlies tne greatest granite lormaiion ret heard of in this country.

In a year and a half she will have amassed atreninh enough to take a bound when her railroads come. And just at that time three, four or five roads will bo near our suburbs, s The .Norfolk cc Western building here from Iron Kidge, Va., is graded nearly to the Virginia line. Tho survey over the Blue ixidgo is one of tho greater pieces of civil engineering on record It winds around and loops in several places beiore it croseca tho range. The scenery is said to surpass tha along the Pennsylvania road. This road will place Mount Airy and the magnetic iron fields of Surry in di rect and close connection with tho great Pocahontas Coal Fields and as the U. S. Geological surveyors declare that no where in the Countv scarcely can they keep the needU poiuting right it is evident that de velopments must follow. Itisabou certain that in the early part of A 1 1 Oii . T" next year me oiatesviiio J.ir XAue will be constructed South from this place. The Danville and East Tennessee is under contract from Danville, Va., to Bristol, Tenn., to pass through Monnt Airy,and there is a 6iron2 prooaoimy oi trie uan- villc and Western being extended from Stuart, Va., ; to this point The following fact, together with the preceding will convince the rea soning man that Mount Airy is des tined to become a Kailroad Centre. The last and by no means the least fact that proves the foregoing la the position this city holds with refer ence to the Blue Kidge rancre. For miles and miles up and down tho range there is no gap sufficiently low for railroads to pass through. r our railroad companies are etnv ing to build across the Blue Kidge' and it has been found too great an undertaking. Low Gap is just in front of Mount Airy. It is the only point through which railroads can successfully penetrate the range,and this city, situated as the door-way to the Gap, must reap the advan tages cmstomary. 1 he above are only a tew facta gathered in haste. At a later day wo will enlarge upon them. . What JloirsT Ajky IIas. The past is an earnest of tht? fu ture, lhe following enterprises are now established : Thiee commodious tobacco ware houses, tea plug tobacco factories, two cigar factories, three leaf tobacco fac tories, one tremendous granite quarry, throe cotton factories, two woolen fac tories, one spoke and handle factory, one foundry and machine shop, steam brick works, one high school, four ho tels, one newspaper, wholesale and re tail stores. j First Chaxce to Invest. The first big chance to invest money in this vigorous young city will be of fered on September 9th sad 10th. On these days the Central Land and Improvement Company, operated by the Meters Moore who are among the oldest citizens of the place, will offer for sale some of the finest city property that has ever been upon any market. It M partly the ebtato of the late J. F. Moore wbict? has been divided into lota by tbe company and marked off for tho grand sale on September 5tb and 10th. This Central Land Company's lands he in the heart of town and the most beautiful lots aro on the principal streets. In all there are thirty five and from a residence erected on almost any one of them a glorious view of the Blue ltidge for a hundred Ues can be en joyed. Tho lots on Mala Street are situated to as to be highly valuable as business lots in a year or so, while tho twelve lots on Pine Street aod the six on Franklin cannot be rorpassed a places of residence. ' They lio epen high rolling - - ground commanding tbe ooit splendid scenery and will double ic value quicker than any prop erty so far offered. Tbe fact that the grand sales of the Granite City Land ic Improvement Co. are to follow sometime in the fail and spring makes It more urgent for inves tors of capital to place it in these lands that will be ready to receive the impe tus given by tbe sales later on. Mount Airy is tbe place and every one is recog nizing tbe fact. The judicious inves tor must know it to Lis advantage to buy now before . tbe town booma its real estate. He that gets himself well founded before the swell eomes will be the onq to see his own pocket swell. Remember the JU are September 9th aod lOih. and tbeaaW will be gen uine. Mr. Matr. D. Moore.

Fife corrects a False Statement Reflecting Upon Him. Though rather late, yet in justice to EvangelUt Fife, we publish the following letter written by him to the Charlotte Chronicle concerning the reported falsehood about his dc sire to ngnt a duel with judge Schenck : I Mocsr? Vkxox Spkccgs, N. C, Aug. 18. Editor of the Chronutt: Upon my return from the North ern xJible Conference lust week I found a repoit going the rounds of tho prc&s that Judge Schenck and myself were arranging to fight a duel. i Allow me to iy it is absolutely fah-e, and without foundation. I think the' report docs injn&tice to bit!i Judge' Schenck and myeelf. I ali) fee in- the same at tide a report to the effect that I will have the cac brought leforo the civil courts, whir.h is also not true. The matter has ten Settled so fur as I am concerned forever. I hare had foiuc friends to write and nsk me why I did not write an article in defense of myself. In the litst place 1 will say to others that may have asked them selves th:it question, that I am out working for dod p.nd lighting Ilu battles, and if I do my duty lie will defend my character a.ur.-st all adversaries. IIes.i's in Psalms xxxvii : C. I will bring fortli vour righteouMiccS as the light, and your judgment as the noonday." Ho also eaya iri leaiah xuv : 17. "ao wenrou that is formed iurair.et vou shall prosper, and every tong'.io tlit sliall arievi againtt you io judgment thou bhalt condemn, tor this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me. eaith the Lord." Then again, why should I have anything to say in my own behalf when the ministers and Christian people of Greensboro have teen t to defend me ? Then, again, one mere re.ieon. "and thi3 is the greatest of all," Christ Je?us cave me an example in Isaiah liii : 3 and 7. "Ho is des- piitd and rejected of men, a man of sorrows acquainted with grief, and we hid a it were onr faces from Ilitn : Ho was desnised aud wo es teemed Him not : He was oppressed and Ho wax rejected, yet Ho open ed not His mouth ; He is Drought as a lamb to tho slaughter, and as a thecp before his shearer is dumb, so He epent d not 11:3 month." And surely if Jesus couJd do this or me, I think it little as I could do to keep ouict an I follow IPs command in Matthew v, 44: "Put say nnto you, love j-our eneraiefi, lef-s them that cur.e you, do good to them that hato yon, and pray for them which despitcfully uso and em-cnte you." Anc. now, to far as newspaper controversy n concerned, with me his is trie Alpha and Omega. Also dlow me, before I close this article, to thank the hundreds of friends in North Carolina and elsewhere, who ave by Ivttcr and .otherwise cx rrsscd to me their cvmpAthy in hc?c, my times of trouble, assuring them it is greatly, appreciated.
