fCorrcspopdcncc OF the Richmond Dispatch.I
DECEMBER 90, 1879.
A meeting OF the directors OF the DAN
Vile and New River Railroad Company was
held at Br0,vilc, in this county, on yester-
d,r, and arrangements made for the COM
nefcemcnt OF the work, The proposed
rnn,ract with the Richmond and Dauyille
Railroad Company for the use Of It's bridge
here, the use OF its road.bed for some miles
ant west, and lot here for a depot, was ap-
nroycd, and President Suthcrlin was au-
,horlzcd to make application to the Council
d DauyiIe for the bonds OF the city to the
mount OF 0.000, the amount OF the sub
.rrjption. and to The supervisors Of Henry
county Tor the bonds OF the county to the
AMOUNT OF S1O0,0 the amount for which
the county had voted. The work OF build
mo the road is tn commence here, ana VIII
he somewhat rs follows: The building OF a
drp6,-house here, the laying OF the narrow
gaugc track on the bed Of the Piedmont
yoad some distance out west from the city,
,hc grading OF the route from the point
where the road will leave the Piedmont
road TO the point at which the route Will
strike Dan river, and the building OF the
bridge across Dan river ut that point. FOR
carving on this work, and Tor the rest OF
tIc work. President Sutherlin was author
Sized to purchase an engine and SUCH Hat
Irs as may he necessary.
Another noteworthy move made Mt this
meeting OF The directors was the extending
d an invitation TO the Dan Valley and fad-
kin River Railroad Company to cooperate
with them upon the plan heretofore desig-
nated-namely, that OF building a common
stem from Danvillr. I suppose they wish
10 await and see" no longer.
A negro man, who, under the influence
Of liquor persisted in walking up the track
Of The Richmond road DAY before yester-
day, was knocked of by the engine OF one
Of the passenger trains, and had some
bones broken. lie would not get of, and
The engine got too close upon him TO De
stopped.
Treasurer p. r. Jones has made arrange
ments for paying the January interest on
the city bonds, having deposited $1,000 In
Baltimore for that purpose, and $4,000 In
one OF the DanYiIle banks. REIMBURSEMENT
iona fde.
The warehousemen give notice that sales
viii be discontinued on the oath instant,
and will not be resumed till the 9th OF JAN
uary. The report from the market Is that
the receipts have not been so full as they
were last week. aud TINT the market Is nc
tive and quotations we'll sustained. II is
said that very few wrappers are offering,
and that the demand for them runs the
figures up to the outside. But, although
the receipts have not been quite so large this
week, there is still IN enormous quantity
on the market, counting what was left over
last week. Good bright Tugs bring from rs
10 SO; fancy smokers, $40 to Sl2; good
bright leaf, $40 TO SIS tine wrappers, $50
10 gao; extra, $40 to $50. Permit me to
ay that the prices seem less affected by the
glut than one would have supposed, because
the idea seems to be. Here it Is now; II
don't get it shall want it after awhile, and
may not be able to get it," ALPHA.
