By Julius Peel
The town of Hamilton, a sound and conservative community, without any bonded debt is to venture forth in the realm of municipal improvements, first by issuing bonds of a town system of electric lights, and later by other public improvements.
This is a step forward in the general progressiveness of Martin County in general, and Hamilton in particular, and will very likely meet with the general approval of the tax-payers directly concerned.
Hamilton is one of the oldest towns in the county, and altho handicapped by lack of direct railroad communication, yet it has always been quite a shipping point for farm produce, via the Roanoke river, and in that section are a number of the best farms in the County. Its citizens have always stood for the best interests of the county at large, and stay abreast of the time.
The surrounding communities are glad to note this progressive step Hamilton is taking, and wish for it a continuance of the sound policy of continual advancement which has always been the disposition of its citizens.
