CHAIR CARS WANTED
------
Norton Board of Trade Will Ask to Have Them Put on Clinch Valley Trains
The Norton board of trade, according to report which reached this city yesterday, will ask the Norfolk and Western to put on a Pullman or chair car on the Clinch Valley division passenger trains. The chair car is preferred to the Pullman. Incidentally chair cars on trains No. 9, 7 and 3 would not be amiss and would receive a pretty fair patronage. Some sort of an arrangement whereby passengers going to Roanoke on Train No. 16 could get seats outside of the crowded day cars would also meet with the approval of a considerable part of the traveling public.
