WELCH NEWS NOTES

STATION NEARS COMPLETION
------
Is Most Up-to-date to be Found Between Kenova and  Roanoke
    The handsome brick Norfolk and Western  Railway station at this place 
is just nearing completion and occupancy being  taken of the building. The 
freight station is annexed to the passenger  station, which has been completed 
a number of months. The construction work of  these buildings has been 
under supervision of John P. Pettyjohn & Company,  of Lynchburg, with V. 0. 
Stuart acting as superintendent. When the disastrous  fire visited Welch about a 
year ago, the Norfolk and Western station had a  narrow escape from being 
destroyed, and the old building then standing was a  very inferior station 
for a place the size of Welch. The members of the board  of trade appealed to 
the officials of the railroad company to build at this  place a Station 
creditable to the town, which request was granted, and work  immediately begun. 
The building put up is a handsome brick structure,  and is the most 
up-to-date depot to be found between Kenova and Roanoke.  Every consideration 
looking forward to the convenience of the travelers  boarding trains at Welch was 
considered, and it speaks highly of the Norfolk  and Western to have 
supplied such a nice passenger and freight station at  Welch. The new freight 
station, just finished, is amply large to conveniently  and easily handle all 
freight coming in and going out; well built docks to  truck freight to and from 
the cars make it an easy matter to dispose of all  incoming and outgoing 
freight, and the freight agent, R. H. Miller, under whom  is his efficient 
cashier, W. W. Wood, has a well trained force of men to serve  the public and 
take care of their interest.
