THE BRAXTON RAILWAY.
An Enterprise that Promises Rich Re.
turns to Braxton County.

BRAxToN, G. H., w. VA, March s.
On the 9th inst, DR.. A. H. Kuntz,
representing the Weston and Elk
River Railroad Company, appeared
before the County Court and pre-
sented a proposition as to the expe-
diency of the county subscribing six
ty thousand dollars to the capital
stock of said company, and the
Court unanimously decided to sub
nit the proposition to the voters and
ordered special election to be held
on the eighth of April. This com
pany proposes to construct the road
from Weston to point at or near
Braxton G. II. within two years af-
ter the date of subscription. Sena-
tor Camden is at the head Of this
enterprise. and he has given every
assurance that the road will be built
if the subscription is voted.
Two years ago this county by a
vote of |, 400 to 300 voted subscrip-
tion of $4,000 to the Black Dia-
mond. scheme in which few per-
sons hal confidence. The present
proposition is quite different The
people seem to have great faith in
this enterprise, and are very enthu-
siastic over the matter. There
seems to be no doubt that the prop
osition will carry by large MAORI
ty. With its great resources Brax-
ton will become one of the best coun
ties in the State, if given the advan-
tages of railroad facilities.
