MCARTHUR, O., February 28. - A
meeting will be held at this place to morrow night for the

the Gallipolis, McArthur and Columbus Railroad between
Vinton Station and the M. and C. Railroad and Stern's Grove,
five miles north of this town, where the proposed road will
intersect a proposed road from Urbana and Circleville.
