ment in the interests of the patrons die
tated. l could not have done less with
any degree of professional self'respect.
As there are always those who can be re-

of my resignation. ! wish to express my
appreciation OF the cordial relations ex-

ENGINEERS AT LITTLETON.

The past week a dozen civil engi-
neers arrived at Littleton for the pur
pose of making some important surveys
in that locality. The men are all in
the employ of the Baltimore & Ohio
Company, and many interesting rumors
were in circulation in regard to their
visit. 1t was first reported that they
were going to survey for line to con-
meet with Sistersville, and while the
men would neither deny or affirm the
rumor they would not give out any in
formation. Some time was spent in
making surveys in the town, after
which the men left, but will return
again some time this week. 1t is be-
lieved by many that the company
really intends building a line to either
New Martinsville or Sistersville. A
road built TO either of the above towns
would open up a good country, and at
the same time ought to prove a good
investment.
