ing PrOSpccts.

Several prominent citizens of Midtown
and Hartford, Crawford county, We're in
the CITY and called upon President Brad
lev OF the New Albany and St. Louis
Air Line Railway. They report the peo-
pie living along the northern route as
extremely anxious for tho road, and that
the feeling was encouraging for making
subscriptions of stock in that vicinity,
which would compare favorably in
amount to that on the southern linc.-
These gentlemen informed Mr.. Bradley
that they would canvas for stock upon
their return home, and expressed conf
dence that the people would respond
very literally to the call.
The news from Gibson county is most
encouraging. The friends Of the road
throughout the county are working with
will to secure the necessary amount OF
stock required Of them. The Hunting
burg. Dubois county. people seem TO
have the largest subscription in that
county, and they deserve to succeed in the
accomplishment Of their object. which 10
.tosecure the location Of the road through
or near that town.
1t is not unlikely that the directors will
locate the road at an early day, and its
location will be matter of great interest
to all interested. 1t is especially mat
ter of great interest to the people living
in the counties through which it passes,
aud we believe that many OF them are
aware Of its importance. Those who
have not manifested the interest in the
enterprise they should, will find it too
late to regret their inattention to the
great work, after the location has been
made and their places left out in the
cold.
Tho company has reached point from
which they see the great work clearly.
They will ask for the right of way through
the lower part Of the city. to State street,
at the next meeting OF the Council, and
We doubt not it will be grated them
The next move will lie the location of
the first six miles of the road, and letting
it out to contractors.-N. A. Ledger.
