Just about the tlnlc the new Knob-

railroad authorities concluded to shift
the projected line. They decided upon
a cut-off. which left the new town out
in the grass and the hazel brush. A
town site, on the cut-off was laid out
about two miles still further to the
north. Tile railroad was constructed
and a station crcctcd.
The new town sulkcil for a while but
