Miss Meredith is not a stranger in Frost
burg, having read here with great accepta-
bility Qp previous OCCASION.
The Piedmont independent is in error if
it thinks we are opposed to extension Of
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal to Pied
mont. We would really like to see the
thing done, but consider ihr project as one
not likely of accomplishment,
" no is going to furnish the many thoI
ands of dollars which would be required'to
extend the canal to Piedmont: Private
capital can hardly be expected to do SO,
while it is quite certain that Virginia and
Maryland now have us much invested in
this public work as desired. The general
government cannot be depended upon, nor
can West Virginia or hl.cgany county.
All this considered it recurs to us that the
question of extension is impracticablc.-
Nc,cs.

be built at State expense" etc Now, Mr.
Ne'es, how will you squrm around that?
