Railroad Meeting.

| sembled in the Court. House on Monday
evening. the first day of the Court, and
were addressed by P. B. Borst. Esq, OF
Luray, and Hon. VIM. Mines. the mem-
Der cleo, from this district 10 Congress,
UPON the subject Of the contemplated
Railroad from the Potomac River up the
Warren and Page Valley. The speakers
showed many reasons why oar IeiIow-cIi-
liens should take hold Of this subject with
energy, and determination 10 have tie
road constructed; and some Cnlhuslasm
was manifested among the citizens OF this
county upon the subject, but We regret
,ha, no organization was affected at that
meeting for the purpose Of cooperating
with the committees formed in the coun'
| ties above and below OF the contemplated
route. We are aware that considerable
apathy prevails among the citizens OF this
county upon the subject of subscribing
for the construction OF railroads. chiefly
because lhev believe they have been bad
/ " treated by the o. A. & NJ. X. r., as
! they say that company took the iron from
the stem here, which they are taxed 10
paw for, and now refuse TO construct the
stem from The Y 10 town; but, be that as
| il may, the subscription solicited Tor the
Potomac and Page Valley Railroad will
not be called for until the road s compile
ted 10 the county, and besides, at the
most, it will only be loan that will be
/ paid by bonds which will be worth as
! much in the market, wher the road is
/ finished, as the best railroad stock in the
country. But, even 10 consider the sub
scriplon a donation, the road, when con-
/ clruc.ed, will enhance the value Of the
lands, and, OF course, all other kinds Of
property in tie county considerably more
than the amount of the subscription A
man, we will suppose, owns farm Sear
! the line Of the railroad, which viii now
command 50 900. let him give one-fourh
/ OF lhat 10 build this road and then his land
is worth $4,000. so he will make clear
$500 by the operation, and have all the
/ benefits Of the road 10 reaching the mar
! kets des.-Uarren Sentinel.
