| The extension of the Danville
railroad to Greensboro, N. C. {the Piedmont RR},
will be an important event for this city. It will add largely to its
trade, and increase very much the facilities of its intercourse with
Western North Carolina and Western South Carolina and Georgia.
Especially with reference to Western North Carolina will the benefits
from this improvement resulting to this city be of a very considerable
magnitude. The country is productive in respect to its agriculture, rich
in mineral wealth, and in 2 degree picturesque and healthy. To this time
it has been to us a kind of terra incognita; but it will soon
burst upon us in all its beauty and vast resources. The railroad in
course of completion will bring us near to it and make us entirely
familiar with it. |
