FARMVILLE AND POWHATAN.
some Facts About This New and
Promfafng Railroad.

The Farmville aud Powhatan railroad,
now in rapid course of construction, will
run from Bermuda Hundreds to Farm
vile without change Of cars or break Of
bulk.
The new line will extend from Farm
Vile town to Jenninss's Crossing, having
running poBers over the Brlghthope
railway from this point to It's eastern
terminus at Bermuda Hundreds, on the
james river. II will have connection at
Chester with the Atlantic Coast Lane,
end viii cross the Richmond and Dan
Vile railroad near PowhaJan station.
having q station of lts own at that point
to be called Dnhney. Starting from
Bermuda Hundreds, in Chesterfield
county, traycrsing Powhatan and Cnm-
berland oounties aud akirbng Huckiny-
ham county as Tar as It's present western
terminus Mt Farmvllle, III Prince Edward
county, its total length will be ninety
SIX miles. One management will con-
troll both the Brighthope and the new rail
roads, and the gauge OF the latter will
be similar to that Of the first-yiz., three
feet.
The work OF construction was COM
menced on the lst OF March Of this
year: the grading is nearly completed
10 the Cumberland line, and the road
bed will be ready for the rails by the LIST
OF October next as far as Cumberland
Courthouse.
The construction company expect to
track the road and open 1t for traffic by
about June ], 1889.

nond 10y this new line and the Rich
mond and Danville railroad will be only
seventy-three miles. The country
through which it will pass is splendidly
timbered andmost of it very fertile,
and will find a profitable outlet here
after for its products.
This large district, until now compara-
lively isolated, will soon have Il choice
Of markets, and all the advantages OF
closer communication with distant points
will be felt and doubtless appreciated by

James hiyer improvement.

The river aud harbor bill appropri'
ated S22j, 900 to be used in the improve
ment Of James river during the present
year. Part Of this sum has been ex'
pended in stone work to support the
jetties along the river.
Eight years ago a tall man could ford
the river at Warwick Park while the tide
was low. Under skilful management
the channel at this point has been made
from ten to fifteen feet deeper.
The river work will now be systemati-
cally prosecuted in furtherance OF a
plan contemplating the acquisition Of q
depth OF 25 feet at high tide from Rich
mond to the sea. The distractions to
that depth consist mainly of sand-bars,
though there IS good deal Of rock to be
removed from Richmond to Warwick.
