Ex-senator D. l. Walker denies the declar-
alton of Cain, an ex-senator from Edge6eld,

There is prospect of the construction of
railroad from johnson City, a growing place
on the Tennessee and Virginia Railroad, to
Lenoir, the terminus of the Chester and Le-
noir Railroad. At a recent meeting of the
friends of this enterprise, action was taken
looking to the immediate grading Of fthe road.
Dr. Davega is confident that the obstacles in
the way of buying the iron and completing
the road from Dallas to Lenoir will be over
come. When this desirable result has been
consummated the road between Lenor and
johnson City will probably be ready for the
iron, if not already in running order. 1t Is
easy to see the immense advantage accruing
to Chester from the completion of railroad
connection with johnson City. The products
of Tennessee and Virginia, in addition to
those of North Carolina, will be at our COM
mand.

ken place in our own town during the past
few years. Those who had lost friends we're
impressively reminded of the sad fact The
duty of making suitable preparation for the
hour of death was earnestly urged upon all.
