ing wanting towards the comfort of man, |y
woman and child ; and the occasion was
honored not only by an imnu-nse assem- w
blagc of the people from Abbeville, Kdgefit-Id
and Anderson, but there were four or |]
five gentlemen present, who had been in- s
vited to address the citizens ; and who, in- |,|

been accomplished by argument,eloquence, I |]
and the most searching and convincing j

ItailUuad. lie rapidly reviewed the than- ?

liml been taken, and which could yet ho i c;
obtained, spoke of the many and favorable to
npplications;that had been made for con- sn
tracts not only by those interested, but Iv ni
those entirely disconnected with the road. w
He showed most conclusively, that this is p,
one llail lload yi which tho stock holders ju
run no risk of loss ; anil that tho real cs- m
tato of all who live on the route, is to l>e ni
enhanced to an amount amply to compensate
them for any delay in obtaining divi- fi

were happily anil pleasantly enforced by a c,
recitation of the fable of the old bird and si
