The suits now brought against
the X. Il NJ. Railway, gro wing out
of the killing of friends and injuries
received in the late accident, near
Charleston, aggregate about $780,
600. II the people would wait a
little while no doubt the railroad
company, would compromise the
damages without the expense and
worry of suit.
The project of building railroad
up the south side of the Great Kama
wha, has not been abandoned. 1t
will be known as the Point Pleasant
and Atlanta Railroad Company, and
will go up Coal river 1t is now
only a project bnt it will be built,
in the near future. Such country
can't be long without railroad, in
these progressive times. The tim
Der, coal and iron must be reached.
We believe now, as the govern
ment has undertaken the improve
mcnt of the Great Kanawha, that
if we make a move in the right di-
rection, we can have the Marine
Hospital located at this place, and
we expect Congressman Capehart
to look after this matter, and our
Senators to assist him. The river
men want it located here.
The County Court determined at
its recent session, to locate the Jail
on the lot where the old one now
stands. The reason for this, that
after purchasing the Huskin's lot,
there was not room enough for
the building, without encroaching
too much upon the Court House
Park.
From all report there were some
high old times in the county on the
Fourth. People seemed to have as
sembled together in many places, to
settle old scores. Broken heads
and bruised limbs are now being
nursed by number of the boys.
