The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1895-07-12
In the Near Future.

JUST now comes thought to
Us, IN this season OF summer ou;-
ings, picuics, ana moonlight nights,
how beneficial AID financially success
tll the long considered Frederick
and Middletown Electric Railway
would be. How delightful, after the
heat ana turmoil OF the long and
weary day would it be TO take seat
in one Of The handsomely furnished
cars OF the proposed railway, to hear
the rattle of the gong, the 'ail aboard"
OF the conductor, to feel the sudden
impulse of the electric current as ii
starts the ponderOus motor, and finally.
to leave the quiet city for the beautiful
star-llt country, with The car all the
time increasing IN speed and a delight

mated, happy ami delighted be-
cause for small sum one could enjoy
a pleasant ride through an attractive

of the interlaying resorts on the noun

Braddock Heights could be reached in
a few minutes, and this charming place
would be nightly overrun with Wis
itors. On moonlight nights the trip
would be of a highly sentimental char
acter to youthful couples, who feel i'll
spired when away from the passing
throng and under the soft light OF the
summer moon. Visits could be made
to friends either living or boarding at
summer cottages along the line OF the
railroad, and after the call, all one
would have to do, would be to hail
passing car and quickly make the trip
to town. The entire western section
of the county adjacent to the road
would soon become revolutionized and
the inhabitants begin to ask them
selves how they could do without this
necessary and enjoyable auxiliary. 1t
Is an easy matter to consider it as a
profitable investment in view of the
productive character of the farms in
that part of the county, and we fancy
in our minds eye long trains of freight
cars loaded down with wheat, corn,
other cereals and merchandise either
coming to or going from this city. The
road would be public convenience
and we do not hesitate to say that the
public would support it, Outside of
the few chronic kickers and directors
to any motion of enterprise or improve
ment, we think our people have been
favorable TO the project, and as for our
selves, we heartily endorse it and our
columns will he found open to all who
wish to say good word for the cleo
trio railway. 1t will cost money, but

costs the more benefit can be expected
from it, as the gentlemen at the head
OF the undertaking have their own
good money invested and can be looked
to to take care of other peoples. We
have recently heard some very good
news concerning the road aud it is to
be hoped that our people will aid the
enterprise as much AS they can. Don't
let every thing go by, but reach out
and grasp those that will improve
the community at large and at the
same time afford means of amusement
and money-making. Once the rail-
road is established, its success will be
assured, and those who were loudest
in condemning it as impracticable and
annoying, will be found in line with
its staunchest friends. Let us have
the railroad, and that too in short
time, and we will have something be-
sides our beautiful city to show strang-
ers when they come to town.
