No one doubts the success Of the enter
prise. A gentleman residing In this

members expect 70 organise the CON-
| pany on or before the LIST day of April.

at Parkton, Manchester will be enabled
to compete fayorably with Hanover as
a market for coal aud lumber. Lime

than at present rates. Farmers eau
then improve their lands at less expense.
Agricultural products win increase in
amount aud value. Capitalists will

in operation Eve years it will pay fine

IL is to be hoped that business men
and farmers will look to their Interests,
aud assist in this enterprise, while they
have an opportunity offered them.
