Meant and Leslie Symmes of San j Francisco, yesterdsy closed t deal for 305,600 acres of overflow prairie land. The deal Involved a cash payment of $305,000. The old line now In use crosses the James river at the foot cf tho ItllU and passes through a very restrlctca section on Urn east, side of the ctty, Tho bridge over ihe James, Is at a very low rtvol. Consequently every Southern freight and passenger train going out of Lynchburg, north or south bound, has to climb a very hea vy grade. Ry Ihe use of the new Hue which runs through the western part ot tun city on a much higher p'iit^e, ihe hes- y grades, north und south of Lynch- burn, which are now such an obsta cle to through I raffle, will he avoided and trains will pass through the city without having to climb a grade ex ceeding 40 per mile. This great Im provement In grade and the substitu tion of double track for the present -tingle track ’will *<puK Jn better handling of freight and paaaenger traf lie over this section of the line which is assured to prove of 'benefit to the patrons of the SobtMrn Railway. All the through passenger tralna of the Routhern will be run ever tho new line and all through freight will also go over It. Ihe local freight terminals, now lo use, will be main tained and local passenger trains will use the old line and stop at the pres ent passenger station, f#5s being In accordance with the wishes of tha ptuple of LyncMMirg.
