SHENANDOAH VALLEY RAILROAD
Work on the Shenandoah Valley Railroad
is progressing very favorably in Jefferson
county, and the assurance IS given that adj
vances along the line will soon be made
OF course1 there is nothing definite about
the route after it touches the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad at or near Waynesboro.
The fact, however. that the original design
was to make this enterprise an agent in de-
veloping mineral wealth, marvelo us guam
titles of which exist in the Blue Ridge
range OF mountains from Luray to Bristol,
the reason of the case would point to the
Ioute east of Waynesboro. Probably there
is not on this continent greater variety of
rich minerals than lies buried along the line
indicated, and it was knowledge of these
deposits that first suggested this i'm portant
railroad enterprise, together with the adj
vantageous link it would form in connecting
the South and East by rail by the shortest
route, and through wealthy country
Whatever route the road may take it will
develop splendid country.

APoLoaETIC.-The paper on which the
VIRGINIAN is printed this week Is size
smaller than that generally used. We had
ordered our usual size from new firm, and
not having the exact dimensions on hand,
thew sent us several bundles of this size for
this issue. We do not like this arrangement,
and are sure it will not occur again. Al
though the paper looks smaller. and is badly
proportional. yet the same amount OF mat
ter is contained in this issue that we have
had heretofore. We hope to have the right
size next week, and continuously thereafter.
