TIME TO CUT TIMBER,

From tradition, had cut hoop poles

moving rails especially by Shedding; and
because the draught on the labor OF men
and team is less pressing than In sum

of at the surface Of the ground, if sandy
in few wears. and that the sap of rails
become defective, and worms. and wet.

great tax to support several hundred rods
of post and rail fence on pine plain. In

PLYMOUTH MILLS.

The FIGURING Mills lately erected at
this place by our enterprising fellow-ci
zen. Austin Fuller, is now in complete
operation, and is doing smashing bust
ness, and produces quality Of the super
fine, rarely if ever excelled. A visit to
this mill few evenings since, afforded
us ample evidence of its capacity to fill,
to great extent, the vacuum caused BY
the burning of the old mills. Every par
ticle Of its machinery works like charm.
Our citizens are certainly much indebted
to the untiring energy of Mr.. Fuller. in
his labo1s to supply their wants. and he
should receive that support and patron
age to which his untiring industry SO
justly entities him. Having been SO un-
fortunate as to have been twice visited
by fire-firsti in the destruction of his saw
mill and then his Touring mill--his avail
able means was severely taxed, yet in the
erection of Ills new mill he has success
fully encountered his mbarrassments.

RAILROAD SOUTH.

hAlLROAO SOO II.
Mr.. EDIToR:-The Logansport Pharos
of last week says, (perhaps advisedly.)
that no such intention of extending the
Cincinnati and Logansport railroad north
by the way Plymouth. as spoken of in
the Rochester Flag, has been manifested
by the company of that road or any 9th
erS interested. 1t was commenda BILE in
you to publish and concur in the remarks
of the Flag, in relation to the project, as
our citizens already seem TO be awake to
the importance and propriety of it.
We are not yet hopelessly involved in
railroad speculatiens, and is may not be
too late, even now. to move effectually in
and Logansport company may not be the
! prime movers in it, let the citizens OF
Cass, Fulton and Marshall look TO their
own interests. & if direct railroad com
manication with all the Ohio river towns.
by the various roads centering at Logans-
port-with the eastern and north eastern
cities by the great Wabash Valley Road
and with the west and south west by the
western extension of the same work, is
not sufficient incentive to induce our cit
liens to put forth their exertions, we
shall begin 10 conclude that they are will
ling 10 remain in idleness and obscurity.
What say our Fulton and Cass friends
to the project? By the construction Of
a road from this place through Rochester
10 Logansport, we shall have such facii-
ties as the increasing prosperity Of our
citizens require. and continuous devel-
opment OF our rich resources seem to de-
mand. Logansport should step forward
III this movement, if she thinks an occa-
sional visit from this portion of Northern
Indiana worth her attention.
Let those interested upon :he line ihink
of the matter, and have a meeting a Ro-
chester at an early day to take into con-
sideration the propriety of speedy and
effective organization Of company for
the construction Of a road from Logans-
port TO Plymouth, at either end of which
our citizens may have almost endless ia
cilities for travel or the carrying trade
at Logans port, the choice of either end OF
the Canal. or any of the various railroads
at that place, and at Plymouth, an east
ern outlet by way of Fort Wayne. or
western at Chicago.
II our citizens remain idle upon this
subject, it is quite percAivable that we
are and shall continue to be, inst u little
to one side or the other, of all the air
line roads now in prospect or under con-
struction. Speak out in defence of your
interests. But forty-two miles OF road
are to be built, to insure you facilities of
almost incalculable benefits to your pro-
perty. your present and future prosperity.
and to your children in after years who
may Inherit the results Of your wisdom
and enterprise.

"RAILROAD SOUTH"

We call the especial attention Of our
Fulton and Marshall county readers to a
communication in this paper under the
above title. Our correspondent has made
some suggestions which all interested
will do we'll to heed. The motion for a
meeting at Rochester. we heartily second,
and ask the Fulton County Flag to ap-
point the time, if thought best.
Citizens, only think for "a moment in
reference to the distance from Plymouth
to Logansport, being Only AZ miles, and
the country over which The road would
pass, is unsurpassed for grazing and ag-
ricultural purposes. If this route should
be secured, the Michigan road from here
to the Wabash river, would be the next
thing to a market house from one point
to the other, and the citizens living on
either side, would only have to travel to
the Michigan road to get on either OF
the great railroads. Think of it, friends.
