On our first page appears an ar
ticle from Pikevilo, taken from the
Courier Journal, reporting the IN.
junction proceedings between two
railroad companies, the South and
Western and Big Sadny Railway
company. The correspondent eyi-
IDENTIFY favors the former road and
is hostile to the latter. This is the
wrong spirit to manifest, Pike
county and the Big Sandy val
ley needs railroads--as many
rs i. can got. Encouragement and
not hostility should be given all.
The correspondent probably does
not voice the sentiment o. the ma
jority of people up thai way. At
least it is to be hoped not.
The South & Western is backed
by the O. II. d G. railroad company
of Virginia, and the Big SandyraiI-
way company is the Chesapeake 4
Ohio. The correspondent re.
ferred to does. the G. 4 Dan ipius
tice in saying that it isusing mere
Iy dllatory tactics.
The contract has been let fol
building 80 miles Of the latter,
extension, which would put The
road well over into Virginia toWarc
"a proposed connection. This
would give the valley direct com
munlcation with Cincinnati, Nov
York, Newport News, and later OF
with another southern coast point
These are matters that should b,
kept in mind.
1t has been hoped that the Sea
board Airline would also build {
line down the Big Sandy Valley
and form a connection with lines t'
the west, aud when they get ready
to do so, all reasonable assistanc,
should be given them. Encourage
all legitimate efforts to build ran
roads up and down tho Big Sand,
valley, and fight none such, is tn
proper policy just now. Unforta
nately, the number that can b.
built is limited by the narrowncs
of the valley.

This is not so. Many liniments have been
advertised but only one-Pery Davis
