MsssTs. Editors 1T IL pleasant 70 know that
my letters have attracted some attention and
caused some inquiries on the different points dis
cussed. can say very frankly that don't know
who the bondholders Of the Jerusalem turnpike
company are, and whilst l acknowledge that they
entitled 10 the interest their money yet the
travelling public has also some rights In consider
alton Of the tolls they pay. And Il might as well
also be worth while 70 look at the sacrifice Of the
original stockholders. In short, know that the
turnpike eompany's Affairs are worth looking into,
and the charter Is worth examining 90 sec IL the
pros and eoRs tally out, and IL something IL not
soon done by the company II will DO done by
others at the eompanys cost. Tho next meeting
held on the subject will not end in the same kind
Of haseo rs the last, nor will the same kind Of
tactics TO stihe public expression succeed. In the
meantime advise all 90 seek and follow the ad-
vice Of Charles II. Quinlan as the best and safest
counsellor they can have.
There Is also much sti- along the eastern border
Of the district regarding the line of the proposed
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Various suggcs-
tions have been made and IL Is intimaied that .
meeting Of the residents ought 20 be held. Now I
would suggest that instead Of talking so much that
some one publish = call. Suppose that Edward
A. Day, Esq, Col. u. y. Taylor or Rev. Mr.. Nor
rison send postal card TO every prominent mem
Der Of the community and In addition put up pos
tcrs, calling meeting ut the forges at an early
date. On the day named have the meeting, put
good, lire business man in the chair, and have an
other as head Of the committee on resolutions
Take the sentiment Of the meeting. discuss the
matter, pass the necessary resolutions and appoint
n committee 60 interview Mr.. John W. Davis. OF
the railroad company, and will guarantee they
will hear from Mr.. Davis definitely. Bu; for
heavens sake put the right kind of men on that
committee. Don't want any sheep. because an
acquaintance Of twenty five years makes me know
that John W. Davis thinks life too short 60 waste
time in platitudes or ur necessary verbiagc. What

willing TO do all that one tnan can do.
And by the by. find an old friend over here
Luke Pearce-living on Col. Taylor's place. First
chance get shall 90 down and have 4 shake
with him in remembrance Of former years. How one
thing brings up another. Talking Of "shaking"
with Luke brings 90 mind an incident that occur
