Young, puhing, plucky, brainy men, realizing that a comunlty is best helped when it helps Itself, have taken hold in each of these places and are determined to start the work of de veloping and improriog the great natural advantages which they posses. We dare say that within the past twelve months more good, solid work looking to the improvement and development of these towns has been done than was done in ten years before. Rutherfordton Is making special effors and is encouraged greatly by the knowl edge of the sound basis upon which her people have to work. The Two C's rail road and the Three C's railroad connect that borough with the outside world; and her people are at work, actually at work, on a third road to connect that town directly with Asheville, It is to be an electric road; the longest in the world. The line has been located, runnimr through the magnific'entrir.rkory Nut Gap and contracts for crossties have been et, so we are informed. Marion has the advantage of the Three C's, as well as the W. N. C. road, and is improving substantially. Morganton is steadily growing, and hopes soon to have another road from the Smith -and connecting at Cranberry with the Tennessee and Virginia systems. Ilendersonville will soon hive a large first-class hotel with all modern improve ments. It now lias some excellent hotel, but this new one will prove of grea advantage It'has long been a point of popular attraction fbr summer visitors, many from the South owning their own homes, which are beautifully ornamented and improved.
