THE R. R. TO LAWRENCEVILLE.
The interest in tho contemplated
railroad to Lawrenceville continues
to increase.
It needs no further argument to
convince the readers of the Stab
that Covington must have this road.
Our people are now ready to take
hold of tho work and push it right
through by tho time the Georgia,
Carolina and Northern road is com
pletod to Lawrenceville.
We must strike while the iron is
hot. We cannot afford to wait Ion
ger.
Tho prosperity arid future growth
©t our city and section depend large¬
ly upon our having more i-uilroad
communication with .Uie-vciat of the
country. More railroads here ha’
now become an absolute necessity.
Every citizen and lax payer of
ington understands this, and the man
who would oppose tlie building
D
the roads now spoken of to • his place,
is obliged to stand in the attitude of
an obstructionist, and a clog to
•wheels of our future progress and
prosperit} - .
No tax payer or laboring man
mechanic can afford to do that.
all must pull together for the good
of Covington.
But it will require money to build
tho road to Lawrenceville. A fe w
of our citizens cannot build it bv
themselves. It will require tho uni¬
ted efforts of all our peoplo to do it.
Then let us unite at onco and all put
our shoulders to the wheel, and push
the work to a successful finish.
Now then, all aboard for Law
rcnceville!
