Es' |; is to be hoped that our people will
at once step forward and do their utmost
towards the completion Of the South Branch
Railway. 1t surely is an enterprise which
deserves success, and if those who need it
most will but aid in proportion to the bono-

pass until the "end of the beginning" will
be accomplished. Our village will increase,
our lands grow more valuable, our country
become developed, aud the rich blessings of
improvement will be felt and enjoyed by
