The writer attended II musical enter
tainmcnt lust Saturday night at Mr..
l'crley Hawkins Office. They all may
rest assured it was heartily enjoyed.
We had good rains this week, which
was very much needed.
don't care to intcrlopc, but may
ask what has become Of the ANTICIPATED
W., n. & a. Railroad? I've read some
very interesting letters in different
papers concerning this road. Pm afraid
nntagOnism has been most too eXtcn-
Sivcly used in this matter. There arc
railroads running north, cast and west
ct Ncwbcrry, and rs We so near have
one going south, let me ask: Why Ii il
not fully demonstrated? And then let
the hustling merchants Of Ncwbcrry
go into the Wholesale business and put
out drummcrs. The heaviest work has
all been accomplished, and with little
repairing we wo''ld be ready for the
trcstlcs, and by another spring ship
Guano ont through that section of
country. Most Of the people through
there are living rs far us fifteen to
twenty-five miles from any railroad
station, therefore the way the roads
are generally "cut up" in the spring,
it's almost impossible to get guuno to
their farms. Take Utopia: she is in
the center Of this section Of country,
aud is posted eight miles from Ncwbcr-
ry city. 1t would be Il very desirable
location FOR railroad station, and
would indeed suit the convenience of
the people, and then. too. We have some
few smart people out here who would
no doubt go into the mercantile busi-
ness. Some Of the Ncwbcrrians seem
20 think this would degrade her popu-
lution, or rather wealth, but | don't
think SO. think these railroad sta
tions would be Il valuable addition to
Ncwbcrry. II the people were able
twelve or thirteen years ago to grade
this road, 1t does seem to nc like it's
very sorry that we can't even remodel
1T. Now if in any way I've made my
self too conspicuous in this matter, |
smplorc to be pardoncd, but at the
samc time implorc Col. Geo. John
stone, }. y. Culbrcath, Esq. and others
TO give this Il serious consideration
and let's have the road if possible.
Ever wishing the readers Of The
Herald and News abundant success,
beg to remain,
y UTOPIA LAD.
