aud es usual it is the snpjecs of favorable

10 begin work and put the hne into active

hoped that something more tangible than

plan for the proposed line is that it will be
run from this city to Providence and thence
via Herriot'sX Roads, Rose Hill and Manviile
10 Bishopville with station at each place.
From Bishopyille the liue will extend to Mr..
