About fifty gallons Of 9. o. i. whis
key was returned to the Jlstillers by
The local express ONCE one day last
week. This does not signify that the
Buckhannon Thrift is quenched, but
merely that the marSet was over;
stocked. About one hundred gallons
of whiskey are shipped here every
week. This fstoo much. The Buck;
harmon booze fighters do not use that
amount. About leighty.seyen gallons
a week is all the trade will stand. and
every thirty days part Of the ship
nents are returned. True, many Of
he drinking people do not use the
cheap grade OF liquor. AS it is, Buck

Securing RighIS.Nf.

Jonesboro, Tenn, March 27.-The
railroad situation grows more interest
ing each day. Representatives of the
South q Western began securing OPP
tions on rights of-way the first of the
week. 1t will require seine ten DAYS
or two weeks to complete the work,
after which estimates will be made.
The question as to which of the three
routes will be chosen will doubtless be
determined soon after all estimates are
in.
The three routes under consideration
are Limestone, Jonesboro and johnson
City. The best grade of the three is
by way of Limestone up Chucky Valley,
but this route is twelve miles longer
than the line would be by Jonesboro.
The johnson City route is perhaps the
shortest, but the grade on the Jonesbo-
70 survey is not so light as the Lime
stone line would afford, but superior to
the Johnson City line, and it is under
stood that the work would not be 80
heavy.
The present survey by Jonesboro
would put the South and Western at
this point forty odd feet above the
Southern, and high enough to insure q
good grade from here to the mountains
at and beyond Embreeville.
If this line of road is projected by
way of this town it will be the means o.
opening up and developing one of thu
best sections of Washington county
which has heretofore been retarded il
progress because of it's remoteness from
