interesting farmers in the road. We
ought to have help from them, for every
farm IN the county will be made more
valuable BY the construction of the road,
and the consequent large increase of
business and population of this city.

OConnor be appointed committee to
attend Q railroad meeting ut Bureau

sent the interests Of Muscatine in the
Peoria and Rock Island railroad. Car
ried.

part OF the committee, and OF our citi-
zens generally, on the proposed caste, n
connection. He said much might he
lost by waiting too long.

ton was adopted requesting the direct.
ors to collect the balance of subscriptions
due as soon rs possible, and expend it in
the same manner as former expendi-
lures, till all tho work Is completed.
