There are occasional occur
rences that show that the bless
ings and afSietions of life are
hardly equally divided among
the human constituency in this
life. For instance we have
just learned gf a fellow who
married twice within a month
and having too many wives for
this couiitry has gone . to seek
some other clime,, more congen
ial for his health. If marrying
be a blessing, he was blessed
one too many, and if it be an
affliction, the, burden , was one
too much to bear. 'But "to- the
facts: something over a month
ago one Ant, Dula, of this coun
ty, was married to a Miss Ad
kins, They lived happily to
gether, we suppose, "nothing
appearing t o t h e contrary.
But Ant. made a trip into ;Wa
tauga. While there met a
bonnie mountain lassie with
ruby lips and ' sparkling eyes,
and becamel infatuated. He
forgot for the moment .his
hearth-stone in Vilkes, where:
"Jsat sulky, sullen dame,' ,
' Gathering her brows like gathering
storm,
Nursing her wrath to keep it warm,'
He went to Boone, procured
license and was immediately
joined to his second lassie..
But
"Care, mad -to see a man sae happy'

other wife was waiting and

Greensboro is aspiring to be ranked
as th greatest K. R. ceiiter in North
Carolina, and when we come to look
at it she is not without grounds for so
( doing. The entrance of the Southern
j into Norfolk where that great corpora-
tion is building immense wharves,
storehouses, &c. &c, means much for
Greensboro, and the two growing twns
here Wilkesboro and North Wilkesboro
for the prosperity of Norfolk will re
dound greatly to our interests and up
building. The Southern Railway will put & line
of ocean steamers on the route between
Norfolk and New York immediately
and later will establish one. to ports
across the Atlantic.
Yory soon it will feel the necessity of
cheap fuel and to do this it will extend
the N. VT. N. C. from this place to Bris
tol Tenn. where it will connect with a
railroad already built to Big Stone Gap

low. The acquisition of this road opens j the same will be forfeited to the U- S,
the gate to Kentucky and the Ohio Kiv
er and it places the Southern in easy
reach of the immense coal beds of East
ern Kentucky as fine coal as the cele
brated Pocahontas which is used large
ly how by ocean steamers and almost
indispensable where speed is an object.
From this place to Bristol is 100 miles
and one of the best grades can be got
across the Blue Hidgq that exists South
of the Potomac. A redent survey dem
onstrates that the steepest point need
not exceed G7 feet to the. mile ho tun
nel region. This extention will de
velope as fine an agricultural, timber
and mineral region as the state affords
and the bounties and townships along
the line will subscribe liberally to a
fund for its building and the right of
way can be obtained without cost.
The Southern cannot avoid building
this link, for until this is done it will
have to turn freights over to the Nor
folk & Western at Bristol thus feeding
,a rival line and virtually paying tran
portation 300 miles to ita own wharves
at Norfolk. Or it will have to run back
on the E. Tennessee & Georgia road to
Morristown ami over the mountain via
Asbeville, Salisbury &c two hundred
miles out of the way to hold what.it has
covered in its way bills.
We repeat what we said in the be
ginning; we are to see K. E. building
and that in the pear future.
This done the filling of the 20 mile
gap from here to Taylorsville will soon
follow.
