Contributions.—Subscribers and others will materially assist in making our news accurate and complete if they will send early information of events which take place under their observation. Discussions of subjects: pertaining to all departments of railroad business by men practically acquainted with them are especially desired.
Advertisements.—We wish it distinctly understood that we will entertain no proposition to publish anything in this journal for pay, except in the advertising columns. We give in our editorial columns our own opinions, and these only, and in our news columns present only such matter as we consider interesting and important to our readers. Those who wish to recommend their inventions, machinery, supplies, financial schemes, etc., to our readers, can do so fully in our advertising columns, but it is useless to ask us to recommend them editorially either for money or in consideration of advertising patronage.
