The reelection of President Bush gives gen.
eral satisfaction. His dealings with thepublic
have been eourteously discharged, and among
the officers and employees of the Road, Mr..
Bush is deservedly popular. Having the assis-
tance of an experienced and most valuable Su-
perintsndent in the person of Col. Dodamead,
we trust that the administration of Mr.. Bush
for the second term will yield practical results
of great benefit to the citizens of this section
and the State generally. We understand that
enough iron has been recently purchased to re-
lay about forty miles of tho Road. Superior
tact and management is being displayed, and
every care and precaution is taken to insure
safe and certain transit of freight and passen-
gers. Every one will unite in the wish that a
steady perseverance in the right direction will
bring US a irst-class thoroughfare and remu-
nerative prosperity to the Company.
