ington. He estimates the road bed |
from Maysville to Washington will
cost S6l0,50S, being between nine
and ten thousand dollars per mile
He reports n good line as to grades
and curves, no grade being over 80
feet to the mile, and no curve of
less than 1000 feet radius, and the
route in all, respects all that could
be desired, and congratulates the
friends of the enterprise on their
good prospects, and the merits OF
the route.
The resources and developement
of the country demand the road as
a necessity, and the ability of the
people to undertake and carry for
ward the work to a successful ter
mination, cannot be doubted, lt|
only requires the will and the hear
ty cooperation of all concerned to
insure its success.
The large extent ofcountry which
is without a railroad, and the still
greater territory in Southern Ohio
which has no direct communication
with Central and Northern Ohio,
make this route very important,ond
railroad men generally acknowledge
the great importance of this connGc-
ton of the railroads of Kentucky
with the North and East
The necessary papers have been
prepared for the organization Of
the company, and the books will
soon be ready for stock. Subscrip-
tions have been started along the
line, and we expect to procure q
large amount in q short time, so as
to guarantee the road. All are eX-
pectcd to subscribe literally, so as
to raise the largest amount possible
along the whole line
The GAINESVILLE, Wilmington and
Cincinnati Railroad will be sold
Dec. 1st, and we wish to know the
strength of our line before that
time. Let all do their duty, and
we will secure this great Railroad,
and thus place ourselves on a great
through route.
Maysville and Columbus, as well
as the people along the line, are
wide awake, and all that is necessa-
ry to secure the road is to work
vigorously, to subscribe liberally,
and 10 make a grand charge along
the whole line. Every man who
owns property or is in business, OF
who desires the Development OF
our county, and the progress and
prosperity of our people, ought to
do all in his power, both in work
and in money, to secure this, one
of the great highways of our ma
tion. Let all do their duty and the
road is a fixed fact, and our pros
perity is secured.

SHOT THROUGH THE HEAD AND

A Mysterious Affair.

\ few days ago while Mr.. Jno. II.
Smell and Mr.. James Bddle were hunt.
ing hickory nuts on the road leading from
Blandville to Milburn, on MAJ field creek,
they came across the dead lolr uf a
young man, the cause of whose 1sa.h
was seen i'm a bullet hole IN the head aud
another through the chest. Writing 70
the Paducah Herald Mr.. I.alla says
that the body was dressed in gray ,uit
Of Cashmere, and from papers found in
his pockets he was led 10 believe that
deceased name was Polk Gillespie; that
he was a book agent and had been tray
cling for publishing house in Cincin-
natl. His complexion was fair hair
light, his height about five feet 5 inches,
ana age q years. The papers found in
ms possession, and small ambrotypp,
the likeness ofa young lady, were for
warded to Col. John c. Noble, Of Padu-
cah The body was buried by Io.srs.
Biddle and Smell where it was found.
1t is altogether probable that this
young man was murdered by one or
more Of the proving outlaws that are
known to infest that region of country
the object being money, The case Is one
that calls fordiligent inquiry, and as IL
is probable that the deceased ha friends
or relatives in Cincinnati the papers of
