<DIV align=left> Roanoke Times: Division Superintendent
L. R. Taylor and Chief Dispatcher W. L. Melvin, of the Virginian Railroad
[<EM>sic</EM>], have been transferred from Roanoke to Princeton, W. Va., and the
latter place is to be made headquarters for a division terminus. Victoria
is to be the other division terminus. This means that the Virginian has
been divided into three divisions, one from Deepwater to Princeton, one from
Princeton to Victoria, and the other from Victoria to Norfolk. Mr. Taylor
has already moved to Princeton and Mr. Melvin will leave for that place in a few
days.</DIV>
