auce of large aud profitable local tralhc
in addition to the through business which
YOUR road is sure to command rs
soon as the necessary extensions ana con-
nections are completed for its accommoda-
ton. One of the most important OF these
connections is the Elizabethtown, Licking

completed and in operation from the city OF

| Louisville. Cincinnati and Lexington road
forms A continuous line from Louisville to
the latter place, distance OF III miles.
Eirhtv-eichL miles between Mount Sterling
and tue Big Sandy remains to be built, ana
| when that is done these roads, with the
Chesapeake and Ohio, will all be operated IN
one general interest, as they are controlled
by substantially tue same parties, and Will
form continuous line from Richmond 10

sdent and Board of Directors believe that
rs soon AS the immediate effects of the late

secure sufficient means to complete this very
important connection, and they would urge
the stockholders, and in fact all who arc IN
tcrestcd in the success Of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad Company, to invest IN
the securities of the +. l.. and b. 5. Rail
roud Company, for in so doing they will not
only ret good security, but will also largely
benefit those they now hold in the Chcsa'
peake and Ohio Railroad Company.
