is negotiating for the purchase of the
Lexington Harrisonburg line. President
Finley was in Virginia this week.
and when seen he stated that the South
ern would like to buy the stock owned
by the city of Baltimore in the road.
which is now operated at a loss by the
Baltimore and Ohio. 1t was also learned
that a movement has been started to ex-
tend the road from Lexington as far
south as Roanoke. as was originally in
tended, which would give the Southern a
through line from Washington to the
rich section of western Virginia. Ac-
cording to reports from the towns be-
tween Lexington and Harrisonburg the
people are hoping that the Southern will
buy the road
