ORR RAILROADS

OUR RAILROADS..
We published IN orr last. the proceedings OF
the Rail Road Conve ntion rece ntly held in Indi-
annapolis. To carry out the recomne ndat toms of
that body, it IS necessary citizens should take
some active steps for the early organization OF
company under our charter from this place 10
the State line Subscription books shond be
opened, and let the question BE- submitted az
rectlv and al once TO citizens TO determine
whether re shall have road or not II a road
is 10 &c made, our citizens must 90 iheir part
and the sooner they manifest their disposition to
10 this, by putting down their names with liberal
subscriptions, The greater the confidence we can
inspire IN those from whom expect assis-
lance.
We respectfully suggest that preliusl nary
meeting be held in the Warner building sat
urdav evening next, for the purpose Of making
arrangements 10 hold meeting some future
dav, when all persons interested IN the construc-
ton of the proposed road attend, which
definite action may be had relative TO the organ
ization of the company and the subscribing of
stock.
The time has gone By which required discus
sion OF the advantages TO be derived from the
construction Of a Railroad. The experience Of the
last year has convinced every Observer Of its inn
nortance. and We trust that all which re-
mains to be done, Is to test the enterprise, ber-
atty, and ability Of people to make the pro-
posed work The effort made have no
doubt Of success. Then let the bali be started
and wf,en our united efforts are brought TO bear
in a steady and vigorous manner, success VIII be
the result.
Nor should we he unmindful OF the time ia
commence the good work. The citizens OF { m
cinnati are awakening to the subject, and have
already projected ana surveyed the route for d
road in the direction of this place. They may
loose some Of their energy and willingness to as
sst IN constructing the work to this point unless
they find response of a substantial character II
our citizens. Lstiessness on our part may m
duce them TO look to some other point for ass's
lance. The enterprising citizen ms of Dayton cx'
pect us 10 take early steps to meet them sgreea-
! bly to our respective charters Let us 60 onI
! DUTY and let US 10 it Immediately. -
