fARMVILLE, VA. May 3.-Ir. Ken
ner Crawley, a representative of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Co., who
has made frequent visits to Farmville
IN the past few weeks in the interest
of the proposed Charlotte, Farrvlle and
James River Valley Railway Company,
makes the statement that he has the
most gratifying assurances that the
town of Farmville will subscribe to
$4,000 worth of stock in the new COM
pany, this amount being required from
this town before the road can be built.
1t will be remembered that this new
railway company was incorporated and
granted a charter at the last session of
the Legislature for the constructing of
line from Rosney, Buckingham county,
coming through Farmville Keysville,
brakes Branch, South Boston, Hous
ton and On to Danville. The road will
connect at Rosney with the Chesapeake
and Ohio system, which means a new
line to Cincinnati. Louisville, Washing
ton, as we'll as to- Richmond Newport
News and Norfolk, to say nothing of
the Southern connections at keysville
South Boston. and Danville.
The new road is to be a. standard guage
and it is understood that the Chesa-
peake and Ohio will operate it, yet there
is some probability of the Southern OPP
Grating it. However, it does not make
much difference who runs it. All that
the people in tarmville want is another
broad gauge read that Will compete with
the Norfolk and Western. which has
everything it's own way mere.
In the event that the new road Is
built, the town IS promised many manu-
featuring establishments. which have
heretofore been kept away on account
of there not being competing lines here
The town cannot subscribe to the stock
OF the company until an election is held
and the sense Of the qualified voters
taken, which will be asked for soon
after the organization of the company
has been perfected.

OPPOSE PARIS GREEN.
Tobacco buyers and members OF the

| opposed to the announced intention Of a

have gotten to be of any size and that

Mr. w. G. Huntington, agent for the
