SOME OF II.
The People OF Rocky scoumf Confident
That the II. * ~ WIZ Come There.

The engineers, unde Chief OndeT-
dunk, had locared tie road to the
head of Town Creek a point uear
the foot of Coz ks Eaob, at Keys,
which it was thonghr would be thu
line of road. TWAS found, however.
that when that poil-t was reached
they were at an altitude of 100 feet
and that they had a very heavy grade
all the way from Martinsville. Con
sidering this fact, together with
the very heavy grade they had
to contend with they were OBJ
liged to make an elbow of at
least two miles by this route by
Keys, and the further fact that u
quantity of heavy trasseling had to
be done on the route. The engineers,
in casting about for a cheaper ana
better route, had the sood fortune to
discover it. This route lies between
the Bitch and Chestnut mountains
and will throw the direct line of road
by way of Rocky Mount on an easy
grade AND will, Major Onderdunk
says, save tho company thousands OF
dollars in cost of construction over
the route by way of Keys and in ad-
dition will shorten The route -four
miles.
This almost insure the road to
