CR- While on the subject Of railroads,
We take occasion to beg our friends Of the
Free Press and Spirit Of Jefferson, for a
line of informatio on as to the progress and
prospects of the proposed trunk line from
their place to Frederick city.
apart from the interest we naturally
feel in all legitimate local enterprises,
we ask for the above Information in behalf
of some yhrewd friends Of ours in the
neighborhood Of Rabbitsburg who wish
70 have railroad connection with Butts
town and ultimately to extend the line TO
Hardscrabble near the confines of Terra
pin neck.
For our RabbitSburS friends naturally
think that if there is even remote chance
Of the Gharlestown and Frederick city
road being built by its projectors there is
no reason why they too may not form
similar syndicate, get charter, employ a
surveyor and having 'set the pegs" wait
Macaw ber-like 'ior something TO turn
up" in the shape Of money to enable them
TO make the road, or failing that, to enable
them to sell out their franchise 1T re-
muneratiye advance. .
We hope therefore our Charlestown
contemporaries will favor lis with such
information as they have in regard to the
road referred TO.
