say: lst Tue branch road in this county
{ ON Fiud'ay 10 Cay, was finished about The
middle If Octuber, 1919, and hns been in
up, ,ton ever since. We have now learn
ed from actual experience that it is the
means of tie making Of this county. Look
al the census ntorr town aud county in lSI0.
Our town then had 357 nhabiian's, aud our
county not quite 10000, Now our town
numbers about 1900 and uur county near
l7c09. AS TO the profrOf our branch. it has
produced much more than was anticipated by
i ) mos, s1nguine friends, and is looked upon
as valuable acquisition TO the main line.

C rine the purchasers Of produce, nor d" they
intend any such business That tigh', | be
eve, Is not guaranteed to them, by their
charter. Their legitimate business is TO
carry for ohers. The Company has large
Wareho lse al this point, where all kinds If
produce are rece we'd for transportation
whether it is there deposited, by the mer-
chant, fatmor. citizen or any other operator.
Sh ,nld any farmer desire to send his produce
to SsRdusky City or Cincinnati, all he has to
do is to deposit his produce, get his receipt
aud then order what direction the same
should have, and it will be consigned accor-
dinghy. The Company carries produce for
any aud everybody, charging reasonable
amount for fleght We have drawn div>
drnds on our stock semi annually; the lst,
was l2A per cent aud the I'd was Sa per CT;
making 2O4 per annum; thus You see it
pays, (deductius all exponses) Our brauch
has resulted so advantageously, that some Of
our citizen who oppused it have been forced
TO acknowledge its utility, md ,have been
cnmpleteIy silenccd. You will please COM
munlcate the foregoing to my old friend
and tell HIM, he may rely on the
same. Yours, Respectfully,
JOHN PATTERSON.
