We are glad 10 hear such good reports
IN regard to the proposed new road from
this point to Wardensvllle, W. Va. The
people of large section of Shenandoah
are thoroughly aroused to the importance
Of this great public improvement. Pitt
tions will be circulated in a short time
W hen all will have the opportunity to urge
upon the county court and Board of Sup
ervisors the extreme importance of going
to work al once to secure the early CON-
plvtion OF this most important road.
The Lewis-Charles Theatre Company
that was advertised in last weeks
HERALD to appear in Irwin's Hall on
Friday night, last did not mate1ialize.
A latter from the agent at Charlottesville,
to the manager of the Opera House here
brought the information that hard times
the Company, large one, to
quit the road, and added that they had
no on e 10 thank for their hard luck but
a faw rotten silver mine owners who had
bought their way into the Senate, and a
few Democratic renegades like Butler,
Morgan, Vest &c, who are blindly ard
wilfully disappearing southern States
TO their own destruction.

1t is Tumored that when the winter
schedule is put in nperatIon the B. d 0.
Officials will take off of this road passen-
ger trains 4l3 and 4l6, We hope this is a
mistake as it would prove to be a very
great injury to the people of the Valley
For some reason the people of this great
section of Virginia feel that the b & o
officials are utterly Indifferent to then
wants and their welfare. Especially Dc
they blame the B. & 0. for the failure to
complete the Valley line throuph to Salem
Roanoke or some other point onthe n. q
w. r. X. The removal of these trains
so necessary to the convenience of trave.
in this section will cause wide spread
feeling Of bitterness towards the roads
management.
