INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

Messrs. Wing Il Horneck, con-
tractors on the railroad from Ram
sev to Wise C. H., have a number
of men and teams at work and have
already graded half a mile of road
bed, and can complete the balance in
six weeks, if the hackers of the road
wish it. The line is 3 miles long,
and is comparatively easy work. The
grade going up the mountain is four
per cont, but being favor of the trait
ic, this makes no especial difference.
Capt. w. +. Gordon is the engineer
in charge and Messrs. Fulton, Elan
merry, Dodson and others of Wise {.
H., are the projectors of the enter
prise. The building of this road
will most likely settle the location OF
the county seat at Wise G. H., an /
keep it there for all time.
