The. subject is fraught with BUchJmyjqrtance to the people of this district that we trusc to. see the. meeting attended not ouly by the townspeople, but by those all over the county. The West Coast Eailway is not solely a Palinerston matter It will benefit: the country settlers 'first, and then Paluierstou and Feilding aud -Foxton will 'ail reap the benefit of the.- -.farmer's prosperity. The interests of"the\people^f-.Wel- , lington:*ce' just Hi niubh bound" up in raibeay- commtniicatipn- with the 7 "West Coast as are the towns -which fie* along the line ; and the farmer just aB much as either, if not really more sot. In the face of the fact that; Mr: Travers will address the meeting to-night, it is perfectly unnecessary for us to add another word to what we have already said in support pf the scheme. All that is left to iis is to strongly urge upon every person .to be present, which" we do - with all: the zeal and energy of which we are ; jpossessed. Do not grudge the iwo.Jiours sp^ntjn sueh a cause, 3 lolr"by your attendance and strenthening andencouragingthe promoters, you ai:o. investing. in what will hereafter'*give'a four- fold return. _
