TENBURY AND BEWDLEY,

The report of the directors stated that a dividend
for the past half year after the rate of £3 per cent.
per annum was now due from the Great Western
Company, and would be paid to the shareholders
soon after it was received. Power to make a line
of railway from Worcester to Tenbury had received
the sanction of Parliament, and the directors could
only hope that when carried out it might not mate-
rially injure the Worcester traffic of this company.
