Twill Civ you sum informashun about these things.
This is Xnres bizness these her goods are all sent

thankt the gentleman for his peritcness, and told
him WIS Jemimy Cutie, one of the fust stock
holders Of The Grenevil Co., and materially an1us
TO see how things wus gon on. The young man
heerd this, and as sune rs the old gentleman went
off, he sorter sidled round and pologiaed fer his
want of pcrlteness, and scd 30 menny people, who
had no bizness was alters akin questions, but as
wus sockholder, he wus extremely aHxus to anser
me nil day. jist lookt at him, and scd nuthin,
but guess he felt wurse than l did. Now, Mr..
Ediur, this jist shows how important it is for the
owners occashunally 10 go around and look after
their bizness. l don't keer what hit is, be hit
small or crate, property what aint vurh lookin.
after, amt wurth havin and eff this her Rale
Rode has emmy bony fdy owners, they should oc-
cashunaly ride on hit, and obsarve its condishun.
But hit does seem to me, that fur CRATE menny
ycers back, the raal owners has abandoned hit
and jist let emmy boldly, Npres Co., or enny uther
Co., run hit that wanted to. Why, the Grenevil
& Columby Rale Rode has had more lives than
cat, or hit would hav Civ up long ago. What with
freshcts and good management and bad manidge-
ment, and all sorts of mandgment, war, pestiense
and famine, and all the time supportin big lot of
good feller:, it is hard to tell now whether hit has
emmy owncrs at all or not. The old owners has
emancipated hit, sure enuff.
Thuy du tel me, also, that the Co. is now sued
in the Court of Iquity on q morgig or sum sich
thing, and afore we old stockholders know emmy
thing, that hit will be put up and sold to the high
est bidder. IF this is so, is it not time that the
owners wus a wakin up, and inqurin round? 1t
wont do jist to ride down to Colunby on free
ticket and hurra fur day, and cum back and talk
about what crate insicrtushun the Grenevil and
Columby Rale Rode is. No, no! That has bin
the fashun long cnuff. Let the owners so down
ther, and examine the bizncss like people who felt
an intrust in it and if the old Co. is in trubbe,
aud nedes help, let us put our hands in pock-
cts and help her on foot once more. As pore as
am, and necdn mummy powerful bad, vii go an
uther sher, for the honor of havin an intrust in
the old Co. If the present he'd men ar doin their
whole dooty, then incourdgc them in hit. If Their
is too mcnny ufishals turn sum of EN- Off Eff all
of EN- are gett:n too big pay, cut it down to sum-
thin reasonable, in proporshun 70 the poverty ard
necessities of the company confne one and ali Of
en- 10 the bizness of the company, fur eff they ar
hired, the company has rite and use fur ther
whole time and services. Their must be sum one
else of this opinyun in The company, fur hev jst
hccrd up here, that these her fat, keen vimmcn
had acti,lv got TO carrying along viels TO sell 10
passengers On the Rode, thereby disappOintin the
keepers of The ce,n houses, and wer sen snacks
fur 25 cents, when the passengers orier 60 inter
the eetin houses and pay doller for not much
more But this bad habbt was put n stop to i'm
mcgiNely-and jis rite, too. That's The principle.
Let erry body tend to thcr biznOss, and nu'hin

shows that sumboddy is awake, and afore long
expect to hear of good menny lccte privt spek-
atons ben broke up. That's it, Mr.. He'd Man,
confne en- to ,hcr own line of dooty; and eff thay
think that its loo small, then advertize and you
vii find mcnny poor fellows who would be glad to
relieve EN- of Iher bevvy responsibilities.
