East Tennessee & Virginia Railroad
   At a recent meeting of the Directors of the East Tennessee & Virginia Railroad Company, in Jonesboro', John R. Branner was chosen President of the Company, and has entered upon the discharge of the duties of the office, Dr. McFarland's health having failed. Mr. Branner is a man of untiring energy, and of such other qualities as to render him acceptable, and hence he was selected by the unanimous vote of the Board.
