also suggests that convention be held
1t Fzirmont At an early day to take the
proposition into consideration. Now, in
regard 10 this matter, it would, no doubt,
be OF great advantage 10 the people OF
Marion County TO have 5 railroad TO
compete With the Baltimore & Ohio road

charges it makes for freight and travel.
10 addition to this, it would be to their
interests TO have 4 new market West

this, have no idea that they would vote
their proportion OF the $50, 200 to CARY
