/ IT And il came to pass, 10 the build.
ing up Of the mighty Oity Of the Lord
and inasmuch "a the Chief Rulers
and ell of the officers had made 40 ex-
pertinent 10 various ways as to how they
might improve the ciiy aud make it be-
come interesting with the people, form
that they had tried GAS and CASING
until It had failed, they now resort to
Steam Navigation Of the great RaccooD
R~iver-upon the head waters Of which
the mighty city is built.
2 And ia the seventh and eighth
months of the ninth year Of tho reign
Of the second Ruler Of the great city il
came to pass that certain onterDrising
men Of the country, conuive a scheme
whereby this mighty river may be made
nsvigAble for steam vessels;
3 Aud iuasmuch as the enterprise was
one of promising prospect, unto the
owners t6oreof-it bsboovOth the "LordI''
and al Of his chief officers and certain
Others Of the county, that they make a
great show 10 this matter.
4 Beeaupe, when the fame Of such a
mighty enterprite and such promising
prospect 10 offered unto the country, j.
is supposed that very many Of the peo-
pie will b. pleased with the proiect@Cs
pecially all those whom It may probably
benefit by reason thereof. pla' o' 7oiir
For il seemeth unto many persons,
thst this mighty project, or experiment
may be one of profit. rsysla b,s /, H.
6 For 10 that, it will afford an outlet
of the mighty city unto the crest waters
Of the earth and may peradvsnture be a
matter OF interesti unto every owner Of
stock ia this enterprise. ol94
z For all things that shine are moi
gold.
8 But there remaiueth a matter oil
greater interest unto some Of the citizens
0: the land why this mighty project il
being now carried into effect.
g. For in that the Public building Of
the county, wen the noble halls OF JUS
tice. hath been talked Of being removed
from the city Of Macarthur unto the city
Of the Chord" and to be established
there, il therefore becometh q matter Of
interest with many of the people Of thf
land to understand oil the matters per
tanning TO this mighty enterprise. .of
10 For st first thought it seemeth 4
matter of plain fact unto those concern
ed in the mighty enterprise thst it is only
a matter Of interest unto those immedi'
ately coneerned 'oo e sfas.
II But il seemc'h that this is . mates
of more interest with maNv Of the citi.
Gems than the mere profit Of thus organ
iEing q company for the purpose OF nav
igatiHg TIE Raccoon River.
IL For inssmucb as this will make tb'
city of the sLord" a centre point o.
business in the land aud even 10 the lie
tie county Of Vintou, the same ma,
Justly be styled the metropolitan city o.
our land, and upon this the removal 6
the county seat may somewhat be justly
advocated to be Of general interest will
the people. a'''i' >loI'
13 And % Il will happen with sth'
people, that strange delusions will LEAD
them astray. Tor that the chief object o
this Grand Scheme and enterprise is 4
remove our county seat from Macarthur
to tho city Of the lord to b ruled
by the g Lord. hr. .cf y,,,
