rsur.day Afternoon. Jan. I. 1899

IN OUR issue Of last week card ap-
peared from DIR. w. f. Kennedy, in
forming the public tina. he had dispos-
ed of his practice and would soon
leave this town. This statement has
caused a feeling of deep regret through
out the town and vicinity. For seven
teen years the Doctor has resided here,
and by his genial disposition, industry
and skill has acquired one of the most
extensive medical practices in the State.
His numerous patients are therefore
feeling disappointment and sorrow on
account of his intended removal from
amongst them, for they will not only
lose the presence of a physician, in
whose skill they have had the utmost
confidence, but will also be deprived OF
the pleasant intercourse Of personal
friend.
The community generally, apart
from those who have employed his pro-
fessional skill, also regret his depart
ure, for he has been amongst the fore
most in promoting their social adyan-
tage and pleasure. Wherever the
good Doctor may 60 be will carry with
him the best wishes of the entire COM
munity for his prosperity and happi-
mass

In A communication signed Farm
er y which we publish to-day may be
found much food for thought SO far as
the Odessa s. Middletown Railroad is
concerned. With steam locomotive
making several trips each day along
the public highway no traveller on
that highway would be safe, and
for that reason a new road would
be a necessity.
While Farmer y argues well his
point and protests vigorously against
the use Of steam on the public road
Mr.. Polk, the moving spirit ia the
Railroad Company, insists with equal
| yehemence that the use of an ordinary
locomotive has never been contemplate
ed and be declares that where such
statements have been made it has
either been in jest or III the heat Of
argument by some indiscreet friend of
the road. There seems to be no good
reason to doubt that the public road
will be used, but that fact detracts
nothing from the measure of praise
due the Road Commissioners for what
they have done to secure to the people
the unobstructed use of a valuable
public road. As we see it they are
fighting at very serious disadvantage
and cannot hope to prevent, BY legal
means, the building of the railroad on
the public highway.
