The introduction of the Railway system into Canada has not only been the means of bringing capital into this country, but has given an impetus to the growth of our towns; and where the solitary dwelling stood but a year or two ago, petty hamlets, with their busy populations, ar rising up in various directions along the proposed lines. It is so in regard to both The Great Western and Northern
Railways. Along the route of the former may be seen bustling activity where but a couple of years since all was sluggishness. We need only enumerate Jersytown, Capetown, and Fairchilds Creek; all of which are likely to become thriving villages. Paris, not long since the dullest of all the Western villages, is fast rising into a town of considerable importance; and in a few years will undoubtedly outstrip
it’s former rival Brantford. To say nothing of the immense benefits conferred on Hamilton and London, it must be gratifying to every friend of progress to observe the rapid growth and rise of villages on the route of the Great Western Railway. – Hamilton Spectator.
