a meeting of the Corporators of the
Toledo & Columbus. and "other'
Railroads, which was held ia Toledo
August 9th. As will be seen, the
matter begins to assume a tangible
shape and calls for us, if we want the
road, to do something equally as tan.
gible. More interest must be taken;
meetings must be held; discussion
must be had; and anything and ev-
erything done to bring out the largest
amount of actual interest the people
of tie county have In the road. If We
do our duty We have the inside track
in this road and can secure it. This
route undoubtedly opens to Toledo
and Columbus much the best country,
will give much larger local traffic,
a larger passenger travel, can be
graded ready for the track for one
half less than any other road, anC
among business men In Toledo and
Columbus stands much the higher in
their estimation. Let us awake to
our real interest in the Toledo 4
