Certainly, at the high price of liv-

Indications are that the congress
sional convention To be held i'm Bris-
tol by The democrats of the Ninth
district of Virginia, on March 1st,
to nominate a candidate for congress

There is considerable speculation
as TO whom the convention will Sc
lect. Among those who have been
suggested as possible candidates are
Il. Tate Irvine, of Big Stone Gap
Robert p. Bruce, of Wise county !;
EX-GoAernor Hoge Tyler, OF East
Radford; e. Lee Trinkle, Of Wtyhe-
vile; Judge Joseph /. Kelly, and
Hon. III. G. Peters, of Bristol
An interesting item, in this con-
nectiion, appeared in the BlueGeld,

cahontas correspondent, which is as
follows:
While the Hon. John l.. Baber

E. W. Church, n prominent and
successful real estate man, whose ad-
vertisements are running in this pa

receives more replies from his ads in
this paper than from those Of any
other paper he is using. The Clinch

and coIors, than any other weekly

Representative Ratliff is staid and
conservative. A good safe man and
has the interest of his constituents at
heart.
In the agricultural department in
the capital | saw some fair speci-
mems OF Tazewell and Wise county
coals-no corn at all; while num-
ber OF other counties have corn ex-
hibited Tazewell could beat them
all. Tazewell should send some bet
ter displays of the great products to
this department.
Respecting state appropriations for
road building, We may go in haste
and repent ut leisure. 1t is easy
enough to make appropriations, but
have we calculated when 1t will run
to in doIlars-$70, 600 to each county
builds five miles OF modern road,
count the interest on that with prin-
ciple and sees ''where we are at. >"
The good roads matter should be set
tied as Connecticut and other states
are settling it-let each county
build its own roads. A capitalist
from the east told me on the train a
few days since that the counties of
Virginia ought TO build at least a
first class pike from one end to the
other like Connecticut had done, and
there would soon be no waste lands
in the State. The cross roads would
soon follow as the people saw the re-
SUITS. What glorious day IL will
be for Virginia when her grand old
homesteads are revived and occupied
by the same spirits and blood that
predominated her soil before the war

CEDAR BLUFF Will
GET new RAILWAY
People Stirred Up Over Pro
posed Indian Branch of the
Norfolk ca Western.

Dr.W. l.. Baylor, the well known
Cedar Bluff physician, was here on
yesterday, and while he was having
his measure taken for a suit OF fine
clothes by tailor Angrist, talked
TO a News reporter about his town
and the new railroad To be built at
once. He said that the citizens Of
the town were very naturally a little
excited over the matter, and very lit
tie talk on any other subject, even
on Sunday, could be heard. If every
thing comes 10 the man who waits,
the same is true of towns. Cedar
Bluff has been nestled away peace
fully in the hills for loug time,
undisturbed, with little To disturb
the slumber of the good people, but
not so hereafter. The Indian Greek
Branch of the n. and w. is To be
built, with great Hills and bridges,
Us and yards, involving nice little
sums for rights OF way, ready mar
kets, etc, an perhaps lucrative en-
ployments for everybody, new resi-
ences, new inhabitants, increased rev.
enues, church collections, new board
ers and guests ut the Blue Sulphur
Inn. and who knows what all?
The entire country will be glad, that
such good fortune is to come to the
little sleepy city. In the meantime,
Richlands. a nearby competition, is
saying nothing, and saving away
and forging ahead, and thinking.
DR.. Baylor said that a number oi
contractors have been in the vicinity
recently, looking over the ground,
and have already sent in bids to the
headquarters at Roanoke. The tun'
mel under Sandy Ridge will be about
4, 700 feet, nearly mile long. Cap
tain Walton, the we'll known Tazs
we'll contractor, is one of the bidders
al d as the Captain generally get
what he goes after, il is believed
that he will be the successful bic
der for this tunnel work
1t is understood that the new roaC
will reach the present station b,
building along side the bluff abov
the county road, which runs dowl
the river from the station, and tn
river will be bridged near and be
low the present railroad bridge a
The station, and a "Y"mal le in +.
Scott's bottom land a little way be
low, connecting with the presen
main line. The building of this roa
will mean better times for everybod
in the community, even for thos
who may be compelled TO move OF
in order to allow the necessary rigf
OF way.
1t has been rumored that I'll
terminus OF the new branch rna
will be at Richlands, the next tow
about two miles west, and hence gi'
Cedar, Bluff the go by as the con
pany alredy has ample yard, track
etc., there. Inquiry fails 10 conliri
this rumor, and it seems certain no
that the road will be built as state
above.
