the Ohio Central, expects to have an en-
CINE running across the bridge at Point
Pleasant on the 18th inst, the day the pee
pie of Waggener Robinson, Lewis, Graham

upon the proposition to subscribe $4,000
to the Ohio River railroad. Several citi.
zens with whom / have conversed think
the subscription will be carried. If the

which will in every way be superior to the
old Standard mill, recently removed from
that place to Middleport, Ohio. Ofcourse
the inauguration of this enterprise depends
upon the construction Of the
railroad. Mason county will certainly
miss great opportunity should she fail 10
