and elicitinff -ranch fear of the aban-

the tame lines at north(

founded, but there is another side to
the fjuestion which can be viewed.and f
ibis found to be fruitless, then we with
many others, will say farewell to fu
ture prospects, but as U is not, we are
-still sanguiner It may be possible that
the It. & P. does not ehtend to carry

prints that they have purchased the vir

last hope of this section to obtain com

by one Hass, "general freight ajjent of this
corporation, forbidding any freight arras g-
ments to be made by vhat is called the i
Associarta rauroaus wiia tne Aviaaxic uc i

this part of the State have utterly failed,

with abundant harvests of grain, aad if
