the right way. With Grant to lead, there's
no such word as fail. A single summer will

After a careful analysis of the sources whence
the several items of revenue are to be derived,
the Directors of the Wilmington and Reading
Railroad have prepared the following estimates
of receipts from local trade 1t is based upon
the actual amounts distributed during the past
year to the several points along the line of the
Wilmington and Reading Railroad, to " hieh from
its geographical position it will be able to carry
freight and give to the consumer an advantage Of
tbiity cents per ton in cost of transportation and
save to n passenger either half an hours time or
thirty cents in fare.

For similar reasons there has been no estimate
