will in all probability flow from the cease
less agitation that is in progress.
The counties Of Gilmer, Calhoun, Rosne,
Jackson and Mason will hold a convention
at Spencer, on the 2Gth OF this month, to
organize company to construct and ope-
rate road from Weston to
Some Point on the Ohio River.
The counties above mentioned are detr-
mined 10 have better facilities for trans.
portation and more comfortable, conyen-
lent and rapid modes OF egress and in
gress Such a road would give US direct
communication with Baltimore in the
East and Cincinnati in the West, aud by
the most successful route that can posi-
bly, be sele, ted
it would pass through section of the
State
Rich I'm ell The Natural Products,
and which only need development to make
the hills and valleys "0loom and blossom
as the rose" and to enrich the owners OF
the fertile soil, by giving them home
markets at renumeratve prices.
Senator Camden has assured your cor
respondent that the capital can be raised to
construct and equip the road, If the inter.
ested counties will subscribe Literally
towards the enterprise, and from present
indications the counties will cheerfully
vote liberal subscriptions and do all that
could be expected OF them to secure the
road and they are not unmindiul OF the
great
Gain That Will Accrue 10 Them
by such a course, by largely increased
population and an almost fabulous en-.
hancement of wealth, actually decreasing
rather than increasing their taxes II
would send a healthy pu!sation through
every avenue of business, giving constant
and remunerative employment to the un-
employed; inviting capitalists to settle in
our midst and assist IN developing our
God.giyen resources. Many new industries
would spring up, and our people would
soon be
Prosperous, Happy and Coutented.
Your correspondent has been in con-
slant communication with prominent par
ties in the counties interested and finds
universally of opinion favorable TO the
project. l am encouraged to believe the
road will be in operation in two years.
