Watson & Bax- ton.; 1 note what Mr. Vann says about Monroe expecting the road and I canfrankly reply that so far as I ami informed, neither th Roanoke and Southern nor South Bound have decided upon Monroe as a point ; on the contrary, the natural line, which ia both shorter and cheaper, lies to the west of Monroe several miles. The line would be diverted to enter Monroe, I ' ' Jl ' ' ' " ' '.?'

Again, the. question of the line between Lex ington and Salisbury being a doubt ful one, and the amount promised or expected via Lexington not reaching $200,000, I scarcely see how Monroe argues the case. I do, not think the line will goby Mon roe without a subscription ; on the contrary, think it will not do so. Yours truly. : F. H. Fries.
