THE VALLEY ROAD.
From the Akron Argus.

Mr.. d. l.. King. president Of the Valley railroad,
has returned from the East, and brings the graft
flying intelligence that the means will soon be
ready to push the road on to completion. The
fact that a connection Is to be made at Canal
Dover with the Marietta and Pittsburgh road has
added greatly to the prospective value Of the VAL
ley road and certainly as soon as the frost will be
out of the ground the steel viii be laid and cars at
once put on betwesn Cleveland and Canal Dover.
There can be no doubt that the stock will at once
become valuable and above par and the TO ad en-
ter upon prosperous career. Too much praise
cannot be awarded ID, l.. King, Esq, for his inde-
fatigable efforts in behalf Of an enterprise he so
intimately connected with Akron's progress. Had
he consented to the swallowing up Of the road by
great monopolies the road might have been built
long ago but ii would not have been controlled In
the interest of those people who hayeI subscribed
money to build It, and every dollar thai has been
advanced by people along the line Of the road
would have been lost to It's subscribers Mr..
King has had a hard row to hoe, but now the
prospects are brightning, and we shall htye
railroad that will be built and owned by the orig.
lnal stockholders, and TO Mr.. King should the
praise be awarded.
