BILLS ALLOWED

A THIRD RAILROAD FOR CANToN.-The follow
ing intelligence, from the Carroll County Chron1-
cle in relation to the future Of the Ohio Toledo
Railroad will be interesting to our readers;
1.-THE Ohio & Toledo Railroad property as ad'
vertIsed was offered in Canton on the 26th, and
bid in for two.thirds Of the appraisement by
Charles r, IngersOll, Of the Cleveland Iron Co.
for N. A. Smith & Co., who have been operating
the same for the past two years. The sale, or
rather the purchase Of the road, was matter OF
vital interest to the people OF this locality ana no
little interest was manifested in the matter A
large crowd was at the depot the evening OF the
sale. and when the news came from Canton that
DIR. Smith was the purchaser Of the road, there
was general rejoicing, and everybody started
away feeling happy. Dr. Smiths management oil
the old road for the past eighteen months, ana
his conduct toward our citizens has inspired all
with the belief that he is the man for the place
II trains are not running through Carrollton
from the Pan Handle to Canton or youngstown
within very short time, our people will be sadly
disappointed"
In another column the editor says
nWhether the cart is before the horse, as the AL
lance RevieD asserts, or the horse behind the
cart az the Free Press tmidly intimates, is a small
matter those two papers can agree upon at thei
leisure. But that N. Smith & Co, are at the head
of the project to extend the Ohio & Toledo Kali
road at both ends, and that they have the apiii15
and cash to do It, is a reality, and nlnetenths o.
the people Of this locality believe it TO be Iue''
