The gentlemen con nect'd withuthis enterprise have given evidcnce'of their energy and ability to carry to success everything they under take. Every citizen of Leon county real izes the necessity ol additional rail- road facilities for our county and city, and the onl / way tor us to secure the much needed transportation, is to put our heads and shoulders together, and do something tangible toward encour aging the enterprise <nd the gentle men who represent it. All agree that we need a railroad northward—all admit that we must have it. The only way to get it is to unite and work for it. With a railroad northward Irom 1 al- lahassee the shipments of farm pro ducts ought to increase ten-fold the first year, to say nothing ol the saving in freights on other shipments.
