at its hands-we urged the Company to
survey and locate its road far enough
south to touch our village, and our
citizens offered to raise a bonus OF

We asked this as a matter ofjustice; we
asked it as a matter Of right, since it

a contemptuous snocr, was the sum and
substance of the Company's reply, and
from that day forward 1t has never been
asked to extend a rail into Pierce coun-

most ardently hope and trust that it
never will be.
Since that time, on the other hand,
the Company has often made oyertures

SOME of our friends ere growing
rather enthusiastic over the senatorial
question. A few days since VIC heard,
gentleman make, in substance, the
following statement:
"Thcrc cannot longer be any question
about the course to be pursued. 1t
must be carried into the County Con-
vontion next Tuesday, and thence into
the Senatorial Convention at Hudson
next Wednesday If there is any
lalterng or hesitation there, it must be
carried to the source whence it origi
mated. 1t must 60 to the people. Par
ty lines must vanish before this impor-
tant issue Our future destiny as
county, hangs upon it. For once, as
never before, the county is united, If
there is any truth in men, aud VIC must
take them at their word"
But, friends, be careful DO not
carry a thunderbolt into that convon.

olive branch to carry in the other.

adoption Of the railroad plank, and de.
