- For the undeserved and very fiatter-
ing manner 10 which a Well Wisher
speaks Of my subscribing to the capital
stock of the railroad beg to return
thanks. 1t was only my duty, as it should
be every one interested in the benefit of
Odessa and Middletown, to subscribe. I
say OF Middletown because we want to
get your freight by the Clio and then by
our road to Mlddletown if possible. 1
have not been in conversation, unless 1
am very much mistaken in his identity,
with Well Wisher. II my recruits are
slow In joining rank is no fault OF your
correspondent. For no time hardly can
we get all to face the powder who enlist.
Some are sure to jump the bonnty. But
let them go. They will fall in line later
and fill the breach. During the past
week I have enlisted more recruits
and will report to head quarters on Mon
day next. If my reserve is small they
are solid. And though bee is srnal II he
can tickle bull. So will keep on try
ing to enlist more in the cause Of the
railroad.
The TIL Family is a company Of chris
tian people and k,aoa0 ho0 to entertain a
refined audience. Socially and profess
sionally they stand high.
