railroad.
A friend said TO us few days since,
in scolding us about this very matter OF
railroads and general improvements,
"You want several first class funerals
in that village ofyours.'
He was practical man and full of
energy, one of those men if he had
$4,000 on the tax duplicate, would
subscribe $4,000, to an enterprise for
the public good, if he had to mortgage
his entire property to pay it. A dozen
such men here would do world Of
good. 1t is just such men who have
been at work and are working now at
Ironton and Portsmouth. Such men
always succeed; they know no such
word as FAIL.
