tend our congratulations to the new

by those who are well acquainted with

In saying that the News. HERALD desires
to add its word Of welcome to the new
manager and wish the Baltimore & Ohio
Southwestern the greatest prosperity
under the present management. The
Chillicothe Leader has the following
complimentary notice in reference to
the change Of the O., w. & B. becoming
part Of the B. & o. system, though
more particularly it is welcome to Mr..
Peabody. The Leader says:
There is no particular reason that we
know OF just why it should be so, but it
Is none the less true that there was a
thrill Of satisfaction dashed through
every city, town, hamlet and farm house
along the line Of the c., w. & B., from
Cincinnati to Parkersburg, on Christmas

of the old line.
General Manager Stewart has shown
himself good railroad man, and an &C.
commodating and obliging one as we'll,

complaint-but ah it is only for the

General Manager WV. Peabody And
Major, welcome home.
As has already been said, we have not
the personal acquaintance OF the new
manager, but be has the knowledge of this
place and its needs. In modesty the
NIws.HERALD suggests to the genial and
accommodating man, who formerly gave
such general satisfaction when with us
before, that Hillsboro is now in great
need of more rapid transit on the road
over which Major Peabody now has
control. The time taken to convey a
passenger from this place to Cincinnati,
being three hours and twenty-five
minutes, we submit is entirely too much
time, and as consequence, leaves our
business men very short time in the
city to transact business. 1t would
seem little presumptuous on the part
of public journal to designate the
time Of departure or arrival of trains,
but we modestly suggest to the new
manager, who is competent to adjust
such matters and who is the only one
who can, that the people OF Hillsboro
need and would appreciate more rapid
transit over the B. & o. Southwestern.
