Trunk Line
OF Railroad
Chartered BY Harrison County
Gentlemen. who Say Il will
Surely be Built.

A railroad charter that may mean a
great deal TO this state was issued u
few days ago. The corporation is
known Is the Virginia 4 Southern
railroad. The incorporators are Chas.
w. Lynch, Peter l. Lynch, Truman j;
Lynch, George c. Mckinley and O. ID.
Elliott, and the purpose, US stated in
the charter, is to build and operate a
railroad from Parkersburg, w. Va, TO
Newport News, Va, over the most
practical route. II will be observed
that all OF the incorporates are Har-
rison county people. The principal
Office Of the company is TO be at Clarks.
burg. There is much speculation as
10 the matter. One report is that the
Wabash system is behind the move
ment and win build trunk line
across this state, Another is that
Stephen B. ElklnS actuated the secur-
ing OF the charter. Those connected
with the movement are reticent as to
the purpose and will say nothing ex-
cept that the road win surely be built.
In that event in dal probability 1t will
touch Weston and ClarksburR and
there connect with the West Virginia
Central and pass on over the noun
tains from a point near Thomas.
However, until the incorporates d.
vulge the matter in full all that Gun
be said about 1t is mere conjecture.
The Telegram for the benefit Of this
state hopes the movement may ma
terialize In the early construction Of
such a trunk line.
