BuG tneSe are small CONSIDERATIONS
when compared with the present and
prospective injury to our business in
terests, that would result from the loss
Of large portion of the trade and
travel which have been attracted to
us chiefly by the facilities for speedy
and regular communication between
this point and Cincinnati, afforded by
the too daily trainsthat have been
run during the past year. The
greater part of this trade and travel
has been drawn from the country ly.
ling east, south and southeast of this
place, for distance of 20 to 80 miles
in each direction, including portions
of Highland, Ross, Adams, Brown,
Scioto and Pike counties.
The advantageous position Of Hills
boro, as the terminus Of the railroad
in this direction, and the nea, est e. r:
point to the whole of the rich and
populous section Of country above re-
ferred to, enables our business men to
command large share of its trade.
The same cause makes the route
through our town the natural one for

Cincinnati and returning. Much of
its large surplus produce of Wheat,
Corn, Oats, Hogs, &c. already finds its
way here, and ultimately to Cincin.

amount of freight, to which must be
added the returning freight of Groce,

considerable amount of travel is nee

transportation, which adds to the
passenger business of your road.
1t must be obvious at single glance,
that it is the true interest and policy
Of your company to encourage and still
