Ceredo Advance

A company of Eastern capitalists is reported as having bought several thousand acres of land in the neighborhood of the Martin farm in West Virginia. The Elizabethtown, Lexington and Big Sandy Railroad runs through the land, and the Fleming Gazette is informed that "the corporation propose to start a manufacturing town. A hundred neat residences will shortly be erected. Every description of work will be carried on, and the hum of industry will be heard all over Rowan. This will draw heavily on Morehead, as her business men will move into the new town."—Cincinnati Telegram.

The reader will see by perusing the above that the editor of the Telegram mixes things egregiously. The railroad formerly known as the Elizabethtown, Lexington and Big Sandy only runs through West Virginia about eight miles and there is no "Martin farm" in the neighborhood of the road in this State; neither has our State a Rowan county or a Morehead. The editor of a city daily should be better posted.
