been vastly promoted by the South

confidently believe that if the able
men who have so successfully manaprd
the affairs Of this Road will devote
themselves to tie al,utcmcn, of the
evil OF Sunday labor, they will not fail
to meet under the blessings of God
with success quite commensurate
with that which in other dcpartturn,s
mas heretofore attended their lebors.
