No doubt you will remember the Railway meeting at Dungannon, oa Novr. 7 called by the Mayor of(oderich, at which cer- tain people broke faith with our village, and passed a resolution that Dungannon should go in with Godes•- ich ial getting" a, charter from the latter town by way of Dungannon to Wingham. No one believed that any one in Dungannon was capable of treating person, village' or town- ship with such base treachery as has been meted out to this village and to Ashfield township by certain self- ish leeches residing in our sister village. The following are facts and may serve to open the, eyes of those whom the hook is already baited to catch. Mr. Willie Stewart has sold his farm 1 And who to ? The Dun- gannon correspondent of the Goder- ich Signal says to Messrs. G. W. Berry of Lucknow, J. B. Crawford of Dungannon and a Goderich gentle- man. herein, Mr. Editor, is the secret of the betrayal of Port Albert. I hear from the neighbors that the plotting grabbers have platted the farm out in town lots, and Dungannon is now said to be nearly double the size it was two months ago, without any additional population, The pur- ,•liasers get credit for the increase, (silt credit will not pay for the farm. They want cash. \VIII they get it out of these town lots? They will, as all the fools are not dead yet, and fools are ever ready to risk their money in lots in any village that agitates a railway, whether it comes or not. And the sellers, with good money in their pockets, will laugh at their dupes. I dope, no Port Albert or Ashfield man will be caught by uncertain railway promises. Men of Port Albert and Ashfield, leave Dungannon lots alone. Let Ooderleh, Dungannon, Wingham and Lucknow people bite, if they wish. '('here will be plenty of lots for us to nibble at after the rails are laid in Dungannon. Railroads are not built in a day. The chatter is not renewed; the bonuses are not voted; getting them is very doubtful. Ashfield won't give any. Widngham, I am told, does not want the road to pass them, consequently no bonus there. "Goderich," the Mayor said at Dungannon, " cannot build the roads." Is Colborne and the Wawa - noshes ready to do it all? I trow not. The folloving poetic and prophetic lines were found op the road between Lucknow and Dungannon: rr Before the weather is warm 13 winks, and says to C, The lots in Stewart's farm Will raise money for you and me."
