In special of the HillsborOugh correspondent
of tie Cincinnati Commercial Of November 10,
and copied in the FAYETTE COUNTY HERALD
last week, the writer says:

enough stock has been subscribed to build the |
road from Washington to Leesburg.
1t is a very interesting piece of information |
for the people between Mount Sterling and |
Washington G. H. to learn that the stock they
to build the Columbus and Allentown
road Is to be used in building road from
Washington to Leesburg." VIII the Commercial!
please rise and explain? Again,
the Columbus Dispatch of November 22, as copied
IN last weeks HERALD, says:
A contract was completed last evening be-
5ween the directors Of the Columbus, Jefferson
Vile and Cincinnati Railway and Hershiser b
Hanback,, Of this city, to build the road from
Columbus to Washington Z. H., and to begin
work within flyedays after Columbus has raised
Ter quota Of the stock subscription.
Astounding as this announcement is, it re-
ieyes us, for we can afford to let our sub5crp-
ion go to continue the road to Leesburg or any
where else not contemplated in the charter un-
ler which our stock was taken, if the road from
Columbus is under contract and will be built
Without our subscription. viii the Dispatch ex-
