This town was lighted up last night by
large oii-lamps for the first time in its

served the name of a town since the
1st day OF July, 1sSS, at which time the
Norfolk and Western shops were moved
here from Petersburg and headquarters
for the Norfolk Division established, yet
the town was only incorporated by the
last Legislature. Previous to that time
the place was fostered by the Norfolk
and Western Railroad Company and the
Virginia Land and Improvement Com
pany. but under such good nourishment
that the foster child grew to be an adult,
and the people are as proud OF their lights
as a boy with his first pair or boots
Crewe has never been afflicted with
boom nor worked to get up one. yet It's
advancement has been steadily onward
and upward until the place now has
about 1900 Inhabitants.
