The 11 waiting room* are large, with com-|i fortibie seats, with rest room for,; the ladies, etc. In fact there is 1 nothing lacking at all, and we are I 0rood of the Norfolk & Western for ' the splendid manner in which they 1 hare treated the town. They did not ask for a penny for improve- < stents to the grounds, which they ara fixing up in the most satisfactory and beautiful manner. 1 Mr. O. W. Ksne, the contractor, i did a fine job, in fact one of the i railroad men told us it was the best I contract job the N. & W. had over > bad. This is quite a compliment I. for Mr. Knne, but we believe he de- 1 owves every word of it. We must say something about the Btyiertytendent, Mr." A. S. Payne, for i H is probably due more to him than any other single individual tbht we 1 , have this fine .station, located where > if is. Ia fact the N. & W. has the > knack of knowing how to pick out I good men, for instance the force in < Stat*, here. Mr. Cab- .< _ aaiss, the agent, is one of the best' sounded men to be found, courteous to nil, yet business to the munte.
