Democrat that one gentleman proposes
to subscribe $5 900 if the additional $12,-
600 needed to grade and bridge the line
shall be subscribed by others. New
Bloomfield is the county town of Perry
and it is surprising that II mas beer
without railroad connection until this
late day, when it is but six miles distant
from the great trunk line of the State,
and there could be no doubt of the
success of the enterprise if the citizens
to be directly benefited would give the
aid the improvement can justly demand
at their hands, <Ttis-an enterpsise that
can command aid outside of Perry
county, but the way to get help is for
the people most interested first to help
themselves. - ~

became evident that she could not possi-
