A Lesson in Arithmetic.

If John spent 10 cents a week
for chewing tobacco, at that rate
what sum does he spend in
year? Ans. S5.2O.
If Henry spends 10 cents a day
for cigars, what is his cigar bill a
year? Ans. $500.
If Robert spend, fifty cents a
day for strong drink, (and hund-
reds spend twice that much) what
does that amount to in year?
Ans. 1882 80
Now, if Robert, in addition to
spending 80 cents a day for drink,
smokes four "two fors, and
chews ten cents worth of tobac-
co a week, then he spends for
these three items 1924. 20 year.
Let us see what capital one us
es, to keep up this luxury. lfone
has money to lend, he is forum
ate to invest it at 8 per cent.
Then, to earn five cents, 1t is nee
cesary to invest Sl.O0 and to in
vest enough to pay the foregoing
bill Of $224.20, requires as many
dollars invested as cents is con
tanned times in S224.20, which is
4484; hence he who spend ten
cents a week for chewing, ten
cents a day for smoking, and 90
a day for drink, is using a capital
of 44S4 dollars more money than
the average man in Fulton coun'
ty has invested in his business.
If the man who spends the
foregoing amount annually, Will
turn his tobacco and drink mon

IT'S NAMED.
The McConnellsburg and Potomac
Railroad Formally Christcned
Last Saturday Afternoon.

In pursuance to the call pub
lished last week, a popular meet
ing was held in the Court House
last Saturday afternoon, at which
number of representative men
were present.
Every one seem cd to be i'm
pressed with the fact that if we
are to have a railroad, we must
have less talk and more work;
hence, after careful cousidera-
ton of the proposition made by
the New York people, it was
agreed that a railroad company
be at once organized to be called
the McConnellsburg and Potomac
Railroad Company, with a Capt.
tai stock of 100000, to be divid-
ed into shares of S25.00 each.
1t was further agreed that the
citizens of this county be given an
opportunity to subscribe for S25,
900 of the capital stock of the
said company-10 per cent. of
which is payable when the full
amount of $4,000 shall be sub
scribed;and the balance when the
said road is completed and ready
for the rolling stock; provided,
that the road shall be completed
within two years from the date of
the charter.
On motion, M. R. Shalfner, W..
S. Alexander, and John p. Sipes
were appointed to draft proper
legal headings for subscription
papers.
The following gentlemen were
appointed to solicit subscriptions
for the sale of stock: Ayr, ID. H..
Patterson and Samuel Mellott;
Belfast, Obed II. Mellott and b.
N. Palmer; Bethel, VIM. Palmer
and VIM. Ranck; Dublin, j. w.
Miller and S. L. Buckley; Lick
ing Creek, W. h. Speer and IL. S.
Daniels; McConnellsburg, Frank
p. Lynch; Taylor DR.. Davis and
DR.. Shoemaker; Thompson, j. Q.
Hewitt and Daniel Covalt; Tod,
James Henry and d. E. Fore.
The stock ought to be taken up
at once. Every citizen of the
county would be more or less be-
nefited by a railroad. A railroad
would enhance the value of your
farm, it would give an outlet for
your lumber and grain, it would
cheaper the freight on storegoods
you must consume and thereby
cheepen their costs to you; it
would bring capitalists into the
county who would develop our
mineralresources, build furnaces,
bring in laborers and create a
market for your produce. In
view of this do not hang back and
expect some one else to furnish
all of the money now and after
wards you come in for a full share
of the reward.
Let every one do something
and do it promptly. "Many
hands make light work" If
everybody goes to work in ear
nest now, it will be but ashort time
until the stigma "the county with
out u railroad" will be removed.
