The sOmerton Branch Railroad.

SOMERToN, O.. Nov. IL.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Perhaps some of your
readers will be very much pleased to
hear that SomertOn expects to have a
railroad, and that her people are warm
on the trail. The immortal j. n. once
said that .'Somerton would lift the veil
and become one of the most important
places in the county" We have but
little faith in modern prophets, but it
seems that this saying will be verified.
We had a railroad meeting, Saturday
the Sth. and from the large attendance
and the great interest manifested, there
is not the shadow of a doubt but tEat
before another year we will hear the
whistle of the iron horse and see him
traversing our valley, with lightning's
speed.
Solomon Hogue was chairman of the
meeting, and after stating the object of
the meeting, Senator Frank Atkinson
made well-timed railroad speech. His
arguments were conclusive and to the
point. He said, Now is the time to
strike and he proposed to strike"
Remarks were made by HOgue, Nc
Collough and Harris, after which Rich
ard Miles made a motion that commit
tee of Is persons be selected to meet at
Temperanceville, Wednesday 18th, at 2
o'clock, for the purpose of completing all
the necessary arrangements for the
work. can not give all the names,
but when such men as Miles, HOgue,
Atkinson, Starbuck and Martin under
take a task, we NAV expect it to be COM
pleted. They are in earnest, and it may
be set down as fact that road from
Jerusalem will run via Somerton, Tenn
peranceville and Williamsburg to some
point west. OBSERVER.

LET US RENDER THANKS
Bishops Proclamation

Governor Bishop has issued the fol-
lowing Thanksgiving proclamation:
PROCLAMATION.
Because it is proper to give thanks to
Almighty God, the ruler and dispenser
of all good, and because the observance
of day as an annual Thanksgiving is a
cherished usage among our people:
Now, therefore, L, Richard NJ. Bishop,
Governor of the State of Ohio, do hereby
appoint Thursday, November 27, A. D.
1879, as a day of Thanksgiving and
prayer in this State, and do earnestly re.
quest that it be set apart from the pur-
suit of secular occupation, and devoted
to such religious services as will most
befittingly express our gratitude to God
for the blessings of the past, confirm ouI
trust in the Divine guidance for the fu.
