management to build up the section
through which the line runs, and ac-
quaint the world with its resources,
climate, fertility and health resorts, de-
serve the hearty thanks of every one in
reach of its influence.
The good it has accomplished aud
will contiue to accomplish by its en-
ergetic, wide awake methods, directly
or indirectly affects the interest of
every one in the several States through
which it passes.
There is not station on the system
that does not show the touch aud en-
terprise of the management in neat
and ornamental plot of ground, which
is attractive to the eye of the traveller.
Every agent, conductor and employe
is polite-ready and willing to assist
