ton is usually followed by a like display in
anothre direction Sixteen years ago, 8
boom reached this town, which was unin-
terrupted until the panic of '73 brought ev-
erything to standstill; this movement was
brought about directly by the advent Of the
w. Nd. railroad and for nearly four years
the old town shed one after another of the
coils of its old skin and became reiuvcnatcd
and rehabitatcd; one citizen Wed with anOth-
er in his efforts to improve the town, to add
to its capacity to bentii the citizen ana to
generally lift the town up to a higher plane
of active existence We are again called
upon to witness the results of the lndomita-
hIe energy of the young blood of the NJ. V.
r. II Go. in our midst and we trust that it
may not be expecting too much of Mtchan-
icstown in 1886 to look to a development Of
splri, Of enterprise at least equal to that of
1870 it cannot he that the prophet of the
immediate future has less abundant grounds
for happy prediction than had the venrra-
Die founder OF THE ClARIo!, in 1870 and he
even then fell short of actual results.
True ii is, that our people in that day
were led estra, sadly by the eloquent post
prandial speeches at the great Dinner Of
Welcome, rendered by our people to the Of
llttIS illtl tlliS VI tll' IullIoull, NlltI
idcnt Geo. NJ Bokee promised us the rail
road shops and that Mcchanicstown would
become the Piedmont of the w NJ. II r.
That became "a hope long dcterrcd' and we
now no longer look for benefit from tins
source and in the interim between the ate of
that rash promise and the present there have
been developed many evidences Of willing
ness and capacity to rely upon ourselves for
the bcttcrment of our own labor and com
mercial interests
There has been little to occur within re-
cent years to cause more than ripple upo
the surface of the industrial fe of our town
but now we see expanding before us new
ly-bcgotten spirit Of enterprise, bearlrg, it is
true, upon its face only the apparently not
considerable matter of the construction OLA
very short line Of railroad, but which, be-
You'd the direct influence of such matters
upon others not come ted Herewith, with
reference to which influence we opened this
article, may, without any undue degree of
groundlcss anticipation be expected to re.
suit in beneficial results, in crater or less
degree. We do not speak upon authority.
but have only considered matters palpably
to the interest of the Catoct,n lions Co.'S
furnaces, and do not hesitate to affirm our
belief IN a decided addition to the labor and
commercial interests of this town, following
directly upon and as an almost necessary
sequence of the building of their road to this
point.
With the road an accomplished fact and
the influence of anticipated benefits to arise
thercfrom we again ask, Is it improbable
that our people will again develop an ag-
gressvc spirit and that the busy hum Of new
and intclligcntly conceived industries may
greet the ears of visitors, looking for a live
town!
