To be or not TO be?" That's the
question that seems to be agitating the
minds OF the people in and around
Brooke. The railroad company has a
corps oi engineers at that point engaged
in running lines. with a view of straight
ening the road. The fear seems TO be
that the present location will he left off
the main line. II so. your correspondent
would modestiy suggest that the citizens
oi Brooke run aline of railroad down the
old railroad bed to Aqua Creek wharf
and run line of steamers from there to
the city of magnificent distances" In
that way they would compete with the
r., +. X L. II. r. for its Brooke travelling

New York, are running a shaft into the
ground near Garrisonville and erecting

character OF that mined near Occoquan.
They have gotten the right OF way for a
narrow guage railway from Garrison.
