Rail Road Connection with the N. NJ
Road,

Some three weeks since we briefly called
attention 10 the subject Of building Rail
Road from this place TO the most practical
bic point on the North Missouri Road. A
portion of the people of Charlton county
have been zealously engaged in an enter
prise for Rail Road connection with the
same road, for srme lime passed, and il ap-
peared to us they were about through, for
the present. at least. We knew the North

river, either at Brunswick or Glasgow
and we called attention to the subject, 10

what our people had to say on the subject
and 10 learn the exact position OF OUR Cbarl-
ton friends.
We are sorry 10 say our citizens do not
manifest much interest in The matter. Week

subject. from the "Brunswicker and Ga
