Tho Greeley Home Press sensibly
suggests that, Nov that the Manches-
ter-Oneida road is certainty, why can't
those Colesburg people get down to
business and build their road to connect
with the Manchester road at Oneida.

better main line connection, and the
right way could be much more easily
obtained, and the road would afford it's
patrons great deal more satisfaction
In the way of shipping and travel than
would the route now mapped out.
