uoutnelier and Wells River Railroad.


We wish to call the attention OF the peo-
pie Of Montpelier, and those living on .ne
line of the road. to the Importance OF the
NIont,,el;er and Wells River Railroad, and
o~hort them all to come to the aid and
support of the project. We can have the
road if we are united. We have first rate
route. The new survey now in progress
shows this. 1t shows low grades, easy
curves. light cuts and fills. The road Will
oDer q market for the forests of Marshfeld,
Peacham, Groton, and the Cores. The e1-
cellent water power of those towns will-at
once be occupied, which will give prohtaole
nrlovment to vast number of men. 1t
will omen railroad communication with the
north and the east, which is absolutely
necessary for the business of Montpelier.
We now, have a board of directors, compe-
tent. energetic and efficient men, who mean
work They have but one object, that is
to build the road. viii you aid them? lt
is for YOU to say whether the golden oppor-
tunity shall be lost. We need the road
You can have it if you say so. We must
be united. We must all pull together. 1t
will not do to have the pretended friends OF
the road sneering and throwing cold water
on the project You know the road viii be
great advantage to you. You should not
be selfish and stand back and have Others
build the road, and you enjoy its benefits
You know the road will benefit you. Then,
as honorable and honest men, 1t Is your
duty to come forward and aid the road with
your means. Railroads cannot be Dull'
without money. Then come forward don [

benefit you, and come forward at once and
subscribe what you can. Why should you
not 90 to the directors and say, - want the
road, here is my subscription. Go ahead
and build the road, and thus furnish the
means to build, and cheer the hearts of the
directors, and encourage them in their ardu'
GUS undertaking?
A subscription of one share each by each
farmer and person that will be benefited by
the enterprise, would ensure the road, anC
many had better take 20 shares than have the
project fail. Then come to the rescue at once

furnish the funds, and bid God speed t.
the glorious enterprise. You may rest as
sured that if you will properly back you
directors you can have the road completed
in less than two years. Will you do it
Let your reply be proffer of all the materi
al aid and announcement you can possibly
afford to make the Montpelier and Well
River Railroad an assured success. Dom
debate a moment as to hOlo tiLtie you cal
give and have the road go-but throw int,
the treasury all you can spare in money o
material aid, and then say, If that is no
enough to secure the road, Call upon US t

will put the enterpri Sc through to Well
| River by the might Of on T own good RICH
arms. The farmers of Vermont are not /
whit behind the yeomanry Of New Hamp
shire, and we can build this road as the 30:
ton, Concord and Montreal road was built-b
the labor of the citizens of the towns throug
which it passes. And when it is built W
can own it and run it in our own interests
Don't let any faint hearted eounsels prevail
but every man TO the work before him. III
