Interesting Report Concerning Proposed Cairo and Norfolk Railroad

    Roanoke Times:  It is reported that the Cairo and Norfolk, instead of building a line through Virginia, will build only as far as Radford, near which place it will make connection with the Virginian Railroad.  By this arrangement, it is pointed out, the proposed new road would secure a direct and easy route to the sea.
    It is reported from Bristol that the idea of building an independent line into Norfolk has been abandoned by the Cairo and Norfolk, but this report does not accord with information that has been received here nor with statements made by the president and chief promoter of the new road in a letter recently received from him by the Retail Merchants Association of this city.
    It is expected that President Goode of the Cairo and Norfolk, will visit Roanoke in the very near future, and some definite information as to the exact scope of the plans connected with the Cairo and Norfolk will perhaps then be forthcoming.
