| The Danville Appeal states
that the contractors are vigorously prosecuting this important work.
The entire grading is to be completed by the 1st of May next, under a
heavy penalty. Already a mile or so of it is done, and a large number
of hands are engaged upon it every day. The number of hands will be
increased shortly to fifteen hundred, and it is said the grading will
be done by Christmas, perhaps. |
