THE DEpoT.-The general sentiment of our
citizens is in favor of p acing the passenger and
freight depot of the Valley Railroad at the in
tersection of New street and the c. & O. r. Il.
We differ with them in opinion. We believe the
completion of the Valley Railroad to Staunton,
will do much towards the stimulation Of the
growth of the city. The indications are, that
Stanton will improve more this year than ever
before in the same space Of time. We look for
ward to the time in the near future when we will
have population of 10000, and still increasing
1t seems to US, with such growing prospects, that
the location of the freight depot on the Kayser
or Asst property would be to the true interest Of
the city for it would attract the increasing bust
ness in that direo, ion. where there's ample room
for new business and other houses. We know
those who are INN odiately Interested and 9TH
ers in the location of both depots at the point
designated, think differently But we believe
time will vindicate the correctness Of our judg.
ment in the premises.
