every thing arrives as expected we
may have cars running Saturday or
at the latest next week. What this
means to Sistersville Is more than
we can tell. We feel certain it
means for us a permanent and
lasting city that will grow and
boom for years to come. This road
will no doubt pay and If 1t does,
then the road to Middlebourne and
down the river will follow just as
sure as night follows the day: If 1t
does not pay the other roads will
not be built for a long time at least,
but this road will pay and the
other roads will follow later on.
