A Predicanent

Grave charges are heard of the
mismanagement of the Atlantic
Northern and Southern Railway
1t is alledged that the Receiver
has misapproprlated the funds. We
trust that satisfactory explana-
tion can be made of the workings
of the road. The north end people
have certainly had trouble enough
since the road was started and if
the charges are true that are al
ledged to be true then a betrayal
-of the TRUST bestowed in that re-
ceiver would almost make a man
1ose confidence In HIS neighbor.
