| There is no knowing, says the
Goldsboro' N. C. Journal, what we can do till we try. If one wishes to
see this truth forcibly demonstrated, let him look at the locomotive
"John Stanley," belonging to the Atlantic & N. C. Railroad Company. The
painting and decorating of the "John Stanley" were executed by Mr.
Samuel Hunter, in the Company's service, who was originally a ship
carpenter, and who is a mere amateur in this branch of art. The work is
really very creditable to Mr. Hunter's skill, and ought to satisfy him
that he can yet do much better and many other things. The war is making
us a most remarkably independent people at all events. |
