mcnt to prove that if the electric road is to
add to our growth, there must be built the
first "two houses" That such will be the
certain outcome of the building of the road,
we believe we are in position to say we
certainly know and it is to aid in bringing
about that most to be desired end that we
now ask our people to meet those who will
solicit stock subscriptions with the most
liberal hand.
BUSINESS The stock books of the Frcdcr.
lex, Thurmont and Northern Railroad Com
pany have been prepared and sent out to
points along the line. One Of them is here,
in the hands of the incorporates named for
this section and since Thursday morning last
soliciting has been done. None will escape
being asked to subscribe to the stock Of the
company and those who desire to lisprovc
the absurd statement that this town opposes
the advent of the road can best assist in do
ing so by subscribing and influencing others
to do 50. There are scores of people who
can easily subscribe one share OF stock many
who should take two, some who should take
as many as five. Let our town ard vicinity
make good showing in this matter; it is
Internationally to the interest of all that
such be done. Make the movement to TAX C
this stock popular: you can do it.
PoPuLARIzE IT-You will be called upon
at once to subscribe to the stock Of the Fred.
erick, Thurmont and Northern Railroad
Company. The promoters prefer to secure a
large number of small subscriptions, rather
than to have the gross sum taken by few:
they desire to have it made the interest OF
the greatest possible number and as the
amount to be raised $50 000l is really not
even considerable sum when we come 10
consider the territory to be covered, Frcder-
ick, Lewistown, Thurmont Mt. ST. Mary s
and Emmi,sburg and the fruitful intcrmcdi
ate territory, the subscription Of one to five
shares among all these people should reach
the one thousand required. If the move
ment receives the enthusiastic support that
it deserves, subscriptions of one to five shares
will come so readily that the work of those
soliciting will be easily and quickly accom-
pllshed. The friends of the movement are
earnestly asked to aid in putting the matter
in this light before the people along the route
