The Haltimere and Ohio Railroad plans a four mile extension of the Metropolitan branch from Galtherabure to Germantown and over two miles from Barnesville to Dickerson due to heavy traffic.

Cannon Climbs Fence to View New Department Building
Speaker Cannon climbed a high board fence at the site of the Department of Agriculture to inspect foundations for a new building planned away from Congress's chosen location. The cost to relocate is about $100,000, to be drawn from the original appropriation. Expect sharp House debate and possible deficiency funding as Congress may chasten this move. Health-tone prevents that tired feeling and cures malaria. Sold by Affleck's Drug Store.
