Town and road So took The stage at Charlotte Court
House and when got Amelia Court House. wnnop sfs

They had dug deep bitches through the hills ana heu up
all the small valleys by throwing up oedS OF aiti hu 'hen
they placed wooden seeers on when were snai oais Vi
iron running along side of each other on level ou leel
nunrt and on these the thing running and was
reminded Rev. Mr.. Skdmores EXPRESSION ss "hen Ne

of the whole business, like dozen or TWO sa"-is,
spinning Iennics and hreshng machines all nmoled up
together running small wheels, with great olg ROUND

hU Stove nine al one end which blew ou ever 50 much
steam smoke and cnders. Il sounded Ike hity or nun

when YOU ret into ,ic you would sit down on line mahos-

went, and when at full speed thought would give away
all over and could get my breath al all How he thnss
went or what pulled them or what made mem 60 never
couId find out But went, sirs like comet ana II
took s but two hours and half 10 get from ARea Court
House Richmond, near forty miles very pieasun was
too but for the ALFRED whistling
After taking this trip and when saw no" the thng "ofk-
ed and that il days time and over hvc dollars 10
pc TO Amelia Court House by the stage and only two hours
and half and little dollar 10 get to Richmond
from Amelia nearly half way by the ralroad began to
think had been all wrong in opposing railroads, whlch
never would have done at the commencement; ou Wmen
saw that all the swrs and most OF the rich men, ana all me
noticuns and all lawyers and all the talking iuRs were
in favor OF the road and making great TODD over H. De-
ann IN .usprct there was something wrong AS for Presl-
den, Tunsas plausible speeches. all they said was what
tongue he has got if you listen to that man nc w" prove
anv Thing: wish could talk like him how! And when
LAWYER Watkins spoke of the shares he had TAKEN they
said he and other stockholders were like the iof win MS
tail cut oil and wanted the county IN the same hx ana
when the people all riding TO the Court House on The
dav OF voting, with banners flying against the ROAD mace
! sure was right in being against the taX
But now ha become friend of the road, and mean 10
oin the railroad party. So am very sorry that when
,ne "a Won before nominating Messrs. Skidmore and
Cariwe should have upon the railroad men
at all for believe they thought they were doing VIVA
was the interests OF county and ui our people
So of all the Carrnatons Weaknesses and Ganeses old and
Young and of old Mr. Marshall whom will vote Tor under
the Constitution as he MADE gooa Queer u1T
Read and en- OF Mr. Ogarchst Gitordof each and al!
most hunbly beg pardon. And | will say OF Mr. Myat
Cardwe that far from having disgraccd himself by Inc
hand he lad in getting Danvile railroad charter no"
think he has conferred great benefit on his county mere
by And the Richmond Times, don't now ihihK II ha
inermcddlcd improperly ALL but has done very useiu
service in writing up the road. J.,
The county tax failed as told you, Messrs Editors bu
we are ali now working braycy the friends OF th
road those in favor Of the and those who didn't apPrq
of that way raising the money, and trying 10 work and
money BY all of US subscrbnpsefs SEdmere and Thomas
carowci esq, would only help now by their talents
and popularity in inducing the people 10 take stock, We
would have money plenty TO carry the road through the
county, and would never again sign ourselves
