Parksley Station, which is situated on the line of the New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk Railroad, and is about ten miles from here, the advantages, resources and enterprise of which were shown in an extended article in THE VIRGINIAN last year, has been, and is still undergoing a steady and permanent boom. Many new residences, warehouses, workshops and other buildings are constantly being erected. The Everett Machinists' Metallic Pattern Letter Manufacturing Company of Newark, N. J., will remove to Parksley in the near future. Work on their factory will begin at once. Messrs. Horsey & Wolfe, of Laurel, Del. who have invested $25,000 in buildings at Cape Charles City, have recently negotiated sales for the purchase of twenty lots on Adelaide street and Cassatt avenue, on which they will erect dwellings.

The citizens of Cape Charles City are considerably stirred up over the report that should the bill, now before the Legislature, extending the limits of that city, pass, the shops, engine and round-houses of the N. Y., P. & N. R.R. Company there will be removed to either Delmar or Parksley.
