BEDFORD CITY, VA, January 18.-
The recent inctement weather has put a
stop to railroad operations that had peen
progressing most encouragingly during
the fine weather Of tho previous two
weeks. The completion Of the new con-
crete bridge that is to span the broad
cut and connect the business and resi-
dental sections OF the town is con-
summation ardentiy desired by the en-
tire community. In muddy weather the
passage OF the narrow temporary bridge
is fraught with much discomfort and
wading through mud, and frequently Pc
lestrians are spattered from head to
foot with soft mud By vehicles passing
across at the same time
All Of the old landmarks along the line
of the double tracking OF the Norfolk
and Western Railway have gone down.
The last was the freight depot that had
done duty as freight. and. most of the
time, as passenger station, since the
construction of the road. A new freight
depot has been built, quite a distance
west of the old one, and at present is
used also for passenger station untii
the new and long-desred station Tor
passengers shall be constructed.
Those most Inconvenience by these
changes are the manufacturing plants
that were built along the limo of road
near the old freight depot. They are left
now ten or twelve feet above the new
roadbed, and very remote from freight
facilities The woolen mill. one of the
most valuable plants OF the town, giving
steady employment to large number OF
worthy men and women. has been forced
to shut down because, under present
conditions of the impossibilty of being
supplied with coal and material for its
operations.

BRISTOL, VA, January 1S-It has been
discovered that striking situation exists
with reference to the Bristol Street Rail-

able to the anti-pass law, This situation
arises from the peculiar. fact that the
