The TIPToN RA1LRoAD.-A writer in
the Tiptoa advertiser, who is endea-
voring to arouse the people to proper
sense Of duty 10 regard to building the
Wilton and Upton Railroad, says that
he is Of the opinion that the work of
grading is now so far advanced that il
q little more help could be had and the
iron be obtained, the road might be
completed in running order, from Viii.
ton to Upton in six weeks and to the
c., l. u N. r. R. by the middle Of o.
tober.
If such is really the true position of
affairs, ye wonder that the boasted en-
ergy and financial pluck of the capital
lists of Muscatine does not show itself,
and put that road through. II but q
few thousands more will put matters at
rights, we should really think it would
be done instanter.
Our citizens we're much rejoiced when
the work was so vigorously commenced,
for they saw at a glance, that they would
derive immense profits therefrom, and
it is with deep regret that they see the
languishing condition in which the en-
terprise now stands.
