Wabash interests hnve decided to
take over the road up the Little
Kanawha and extend it on to the
coal fields Of more than one interior
county Of West Virginia and thence
to the tide water. The Wabash
has suspended work in other parts
Of the state and will take up the
work here as the best foundation
for their contemplated trunk line.
Enough is known now that since

1t never costs less than ten cents
to cross at the ferry, and sometimes
as much as 81 90. How much
better it would be to add from five

Man has been attending horse
races for thousands of years and
will probably continue to do 80
centuries after the automobile
shall have been succeeded by some
other wonderful invention. The
horseless age will never appear if
its comming is dependent on the
automobile or any other inanimate
invention supplanting the horse in
the affections of the people. The
beauty of bis limbs, his arched
neck and quiverin G nostrils, his
naughty movements, all appeal TO
the eye today even as they did
thousands Of years ago. Men with
sufficient funds to crafty their
pleasures will continue to pay fab
ulous prices for horses until the
end of time.
