| We learn from the Danville
papers that the rails have been laid for a distance of fifteen miles
on this road, (running from Danville, Va., to Greensboro, N. C.,) and
that the work is progressing finely. It is thought the road will be
completed to Reidsville, half-way between Greensborough and Danville,
by the middle of October, when passenger trains will be put on the
road, connecting with this place by Harvey's stage line. |
| The Directors held a meeting
in Danville on Wednesday last, and located the first depot at
"Len's Old Field," about eight miles from Danville, giving
it the name of Pelham, in honor of Maj. Pelham, who fell at Kelly's
Ford on the 17th of March last. We believe Maj. Pelham was a native of
Parson county, but had resided in Alabama the greater portion of his
life. |
