Pennington Chronicle: We hope
there will be large number out to the
town meeting on the 10Th inst. and the
proposed new railroad to the Kennebec
receive kind consideration from the
voters. 1t is true, as some say, that
Pennington has been unfortunate in
her railroad projects: but in our opin-
ion that should have little weight at
this time. If by voting the small su n
OF $500 Pennington can not only Sc
cure valuable additional railroad facil-
tiles for reaching the state capital, etc
as we'll as an outlet to the sea, but can
and Will at the same time aid in the
opening up of a new territory-from
which her merchants and farmers may
reasonably expect to draw more or less
trade-and give the people in that ter
ritory the benefit of railroad facilities
which we now enjoy and which the.
cannot otherwise secure, it seers to US
that it will be money we'll invested. The
probabilities are that if this railroad is
not built there never will be one built
through the towns south of us. Come
out everybody and let us reason to-
gether.
