Tho vote to be taken on the second
Tuesday in October will be more i'm
portant to Lewis county than all the
voting that has ever been dono during
Inc lifetime of its inhabitants, II
will then DO determined whether
Lewis county is to advance to tho
from: rank in wealth and population, or
to retire to the obsCurity SO much de-
sired by some Of our neighboring
counties. Patriotism aud love Of our
county unite in requiring our people
TO vote for the subscription, 1t is 0
sure enterprise. Our people will own
the road and manage It; and We dc
not hesitate in saying that il its profit
uro equal to the interest on tho invest
meut, our people will never have II
contribute one farthing to tho work
It's like the endorsement Of tho bono
of a solvent and prompt dGbtor-w,
run no risk. We incur no obligation
which tho commerce of our county
will not promptly meet. This is til,
last opportunity, An affirmative volt
will secure q road to Weston in full
operation within eighteen months. lie
US know who arc for us aud who or
against US, that We may convince til
crriug child. We must have til
road, or all is lost!

nslyeu them by the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad. II tho people of Barbour,
Randolph, Upshur aud Lewis desire
TO Avail themselves OF the advantages
which railroud facilities give, they
must 60 to work, put their shoulders
to the wheel, md provide outlets to
market for the coal and timber which
tho God of Nature has given them so
abundautly, The people Of Barbour,
Randolp and Upshur should see that
the Tygarts Valley River is cleared OIL
its rocks and doomed ut Grafton, SO
that tho tens Of thousands Of yellow
poplar, cherry, walnut and oak on The
banks Of that river, tho Buckhannon
and tho Middle Fork, may be saw cd
up and boated down those streams tc
Grafton, and thence to the cities o.
Baltimore, Now York and PhiladCl
phia. The money which would be re
turned to those counties annually by
this enterprise, would compensate
them thousand fold.
The people of Lewis have presented
to them n project-the building Of q
railroad from Weston to Clarksburg-
which, if consummated, We believe
will add 200 per cent to the wealth o
our county, within two years after the
road is built, And we believe fur
thermore that ifthe road is made from
Clarksburg to Weston, it will be con
tiuucd throughto the Chesapc axe 4
Ohio Railroad. Tho great thing n
this timc is to start the enterprise. Il
is confidently asserted aud bClievcl
thatif the people Of Lewis will but d,
THEIR PART, tho Baltimore & Obi,
Railroad Company will assist us A
railroad from Clarksburg to Westol
= will force it on to Charleston, and thi
= road once made, the people Of Monon
a gala, assisted by the capitalists 9
4 Pennsylvania, will make railrea
from PittSburg up the Mononguhel
Valley, to connect with our road a
i, Clarksburg, thereby giving our pcOpl
three great markcts-CiHcinuati, bal
: timOrc and Pittsburg-fOr all thci
: products.
When so much may depend upon til
course the people of Lewis count
may take in this enterprise, in haviu
n railroad put through their count
from north to south, should any vote
hesitate to give his approval of n met
sure which in tho end may add /
much to his advantage aud wealth 2
Lewis county to-day, in landed values
stands next to Harrison. Build til
road and in five years thereafter 81
will surpuss her in actual wealth an
population, and in intellectual refine
mcnt and moral dignity.
