Baldwin of Putnam, received this morning, he states that a meeting of the incorporators of the Putnam, Woodstock and Stafford Springs Rail- road Go. will be held in Odd Fellows hall, Putnam, next Wednesday, and that invitations will be sent to people here to attend. It is hoped for good delegation. He states that at the pres- ent time there are about seventy in- corporators, representing the best business interests in that section of the country to be covered, and inas- much as charter is now held for the east end of the route, there seems no reason why that portion of the route can not be completed before cold weather, and as quickly as conditions permit, start operations through to- ward Stafford. He also states that he has endeavored to get over in this section of the country, but has not had the opportunity, but will cover it as quickly as possible and then per. haps give more full details of the place, however this will be brought out at the meeting, and it then re- mains for the incorporators to act as they see fit.
