convenient to compile the total of their bust.

ofgeneral interest. and hereafter these reports
will probably embrace the entire freight bust
ness in Augusta county on the three lines of
railways.

thousand pounds, and the time one year, from
LIST OF July, 1885, to the Both of June, inclusive,

Heretofore, no publication has been made of
the tonnage of this line either of the other two

made of any other article than hay. If they
will observe. as we hope they will. the interest
which will be attracted by the publication of
this class of intelligence, the managers of all
the roads will furnish quarterly statements
OF the traffic on their lines. From them
very good estimates can be made of the value
ofsome of the leading items of home commerce,
and the mercantile and producing resources OF
the city and county.
