Baltimore and Ohio officials to Roanoke,
after inspecting the country between
that city and Lexington, revives the
long. entertained hope that the Valley
road will evidently be pushed to it's
destined terminus. There Is some ques-
ton, it appears, of improving the loca-
ton Of the line, with q view to better
grades and better business. The fact
that two other railroads have been
built in the territory the Valley road
was originally designed to traverse
alters the situation to certain extent
and compels reconsideration of the
original route. With the advent of
better times and an easier money
market, there is, it seems fair pros
pect that Baltimore will at length get a
new Southern connection.
THE PUBLIC LIBRARY ASSOCIATION
The Public Library Association Of this
city Is now in its infancy and yet it has
secured start in life, which gives prom
Use of it's development into large and
powerful organization, which shall ex-
ert an influence for good and be com
mensurate with the demands OF a com
muuity of this size. THE TINES feels
that 1t can be devoting its columns to
no better purpose than by speaking
words Of encouragement and appealing
to the public for more general support
in this project of the building up OF a
library which shall be source of
pleasurable enjoyment and of incalcula-
BILE benefit as an educational feature.
We are informed that the full quota
OF books now numbers about 400. This
could De greatly increased by donations
from the private libraries Of. citizens,
who would not feel the Gloss Of. their
gifts. The association nee is, we un der.
stand, more subscribers. There should
be no hesitancy among hundreds OF our
people in supporting, by the small
means required, an organization which
can become OF value to themselves indi-
vidually as we'll as to hundreds OF
others. : The association needs, or will
need in the future, we believe, moro
commodious quarters. These can be
secured If the membership and support
can be increased to the proportions de-
sired.
The association is now in the hands
OF many of the efficient and energetic
women of the city and its affairs are
likely to be we'll directed and carefully
managed by those who have assumed
the blu :dens. What they need in general
terms is better support and this too they
should properly expect to be given by
the men. 1t is to them that their ap-
peals are directed and it is TO be hoped
that they will not much longer refrain
from giving the assistance required.
