i E5@Thc Quincy Wing Is down on lie Illinois
Journal sor expressing sGne doubts as to the
sincerity Of The Central Military Tract Railroad
1T, 4 al,
Northern Cross Road from Meredosia TO Clay
ton. The Journal editor is not the only doubt
err, we opine.
The Wig reads the Journal lecture for, as
1t asserts, siding with outsiders against city
IN our own state.-The Wing like many others,
IS too much inclined 10 the idea that railroads
as ndeed{all other Improvements are only TO be
CONSTRUCTED for,thc benefl.of cities. The wants
Of the country traversed by the roads in question
ire entitled to some consideration, we think
In what will the country, the regions of pro-
duodon, be most benefited, is question OF more
Importance than as to whose town lots are to
increase most rapidly in value.
4 We are pleased 10 learn from the Wing that
Ithe prospect of the extension 10 Quincy is more
4 cheering than heretofore. The central belt will
have an additional western outlet 10 the Missis-
sippi for It's products. THE more the mcrrier."

interior do not like one market they can try an
other.-[State Register.
