| Virginia and North Carolina |
| The North Carolina Legislature, at its
recent session, granted a charter to connect, by a short line of
railroad not exceeding forty miles, the great North Carolina Central
Railroad with the Richmond & Danville Railroad. The cost of the
road will be $600,000, and as the road will open up to Richmond the
heart of North Carolina, the citizens of Richmond are asked to supply
the funds. |
