On Tuesday afternoon we accepted an
Invitation to take ride over the Spring
field, Jackson & Pomeroy Railroad to
Greenfield, in company with President
Whitley and other officers of the road
After an hours ride, including a stop at
Good Hope, we found ourselves at Green
| field. The road, although the track has
just been laid, is in excellent condition.
The officers expressed themselves as high
| ly pleased with the prospects of the road,
and they are pushing the work forward
with great energy. A large force is at
work on Mr.. Rucker's contract, South
east of Greenfield, and everything looks
fair for the completion of that portion of
the road lying between Greenfield and
| Waverly by the fourth of July. From
jackson this way, the cars are running to
a point six OF eight miles northwest of
| Waverly.
If the road should not be finished entire
| by the day we have named, it will not be
the fault of the enterprising officers of
the road, but because subscribers to the
stock of the road have failed to pay up
| their instalments, now over due.
