Murfreesboro, N. C. FRIDAY. DEC.....2 1887 Mnrfreesboro ahead, and Likely to Remain. BJr. Editor: Daring the past six months especially, and back to the time when the knowledge of man runneth cot to the contrary has there been much talk about a railroad to Marfreeaboro. I learn that lawyers both pro and con, are now in Raleigh to ask the Supreme Court to definitely settle the question involved in the railroad election; and whether that point be for or against us, there is but little doubt that Murfreesboro will eoon have a railroad, or something equally as good perhaps cheaper and bttter in the way of steam boat con sections. I will not say anything fur tber relative to steam-boat connec tions, as the simple mention of it is a graye offence to man'; and further more, let us be determined to act our full part, in good faith, to the pro posed railroad, should it be built. The point I was getting at is, that let come what will, in this age of steam boats and railroads. Mar fieesboro is of sufficient importance to command better, advantages, in this respect, in the near future. The fact that onr sister towns and neighboring territory baye them, is nothing against us. or our real interests. It is slmiily the natural law of progress, the "makiog of two sprigs of grass grow where one grew." We rejoice in their good for tune, and expect to share their pros perity. Railroads, when built, must be supported. The timber fields will not long exist, nor will It be long be fore the Eldorado of many of the new Investeis and experimenters will be converted by sad experience, into iniihical dreams and water will con tinue to run down hill as uual. It will be then, if not sooner, that Mur freesboro will receive the conaidera tion of business men, and of railroads and steam-boats. A hundred years start, with or without a railroad, is no . small advamage to a town. The grad ual property accumulations of that time will enable Its citizens to protect Us interest, and require corporations to rerpect its wishes Besides this, it is geographically fixed that there can be but one city, or town of iiupor tance, within a radius of twenty five or fifty miles. No wheel, great or small, has.but one hub; and Murfrees boro, however unplcasent it may be to our neighbors to say it, is the hub of this wheel by geographical position, by age, by size, by wealth, by culture, by religious advantages and by mod ern advancements. This after all, niay not be saying much in its praise and is surely not intended as any reflection on any of our neighbors- but still we believe it cannot be de nied. Possessing these advantages then, what can be Murfreesboro's future? A general growth and prosperity awaits our section. It possesses many advantages, has ample resources," and Is rapidly undergoing new develop ments. M'boro will show them, and being ahead, will stay ahead. What matters it to us if our neighbors have bew hopes of improvement and pros perity? Their upbuilding is indirectly ours palatini the spokes, beautifies the wheel and gives more Importance to ths hub. The hub la necessary to the wheel; the spokes useful and nec essary to the hub. Murrreesboro. then, with its fine achools. good churches, elegant homes and people, newspaper, bank, fair, telegraph, bakery, hotels, and in fact everything that constitutes a good, healthy and beautiful town ie not only nhead, but will there rejnaiu, its ene mies and the kickers and grumblers to the contrary, notwithstanding rail . road or no railroad 1 Hut Mr. Editor.
