<DIV align=center><STRONG>To Lay Third Track</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV align=left> J. E. Catron, the well known section foreman
here, has recently been promoted to the position of extra gang foreman and left
yesterday with the necessary equipment for Switchback, where he will begin the
laying of the middle track for the Norfolk and Western between Switchback and
Ennis. This third track was authorized to be put down a short time before
the panic set in [<EM>Panic of 1907</EM>] but was given up after the
business of the road fell off so suddenly, but will now be laid and the work
will commence at once.</DIV>

<DIV align=center><STRONG>Traffic Unusually Heavy</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV align=left> George Anderson, of Portsmouth, Ohio, is in
Graham on a visit to his parents, Captain and Mrs. C. W. Anderson in West
Graham. Mr. Anderson is a conductor on the Norfolk and Western and runs in
the Cincinnati district. He says the business of the road on that branch
is unusually heavy, and all of the crews are given all the work they can stand
up to to keep things moving. [<EM>Quite different from today's situation
on that district.</EM>]</DIV>
