On Friday. might, of last week, Mr.. Street,
the President of the st. Paul, Iowa and st.
Louis Railroad, met many Of the business
men of Toledo, in the Auditors office, and
some consultation had as to the prospects OF
the rond Mr.. Street has been negotiating
with several parties in reference TO the road
and thinks that he has almost n sure thing
on getting the necessary funds for putting
the road through. lie seems to have reached
that point with several parties whore only
minor details seperate them and with these
adjusted terms can be arranged with such IS
offer the best terms. Mr.. Street goes east
next week in order to see these as well as
other monecd men, and to make such further
arrangements as can be made in the present
immature state Of affairs.
But whatever may be the minor details Of
the negotiations between Mr.. Street and the
capitalists, the details Of the project as far as
the people along the route are concerned, are
few and simple. In order to reimburse Mr..
Street, for the private OUTLAWS he has already
made in behalf of the road, and to assist the
negotiations still farther, it is required Of
the people Of this County to raise five hun
dred dollars cash. The people must also dos
nate to the company $50 600, payable only on
condition that the road is built, equipped in
good running order, and cars runniny, on or
before the first day Of May, 1871.
A preliminary meeting was held in the
Court House last Monday evening, to devise
ways and means to perform the duties as
signed us. But little was done, Of course, at
this meeting and another was appointed for
next Saturday evening, at the Court House.
AT tbis meeting, it is hoped, we will either
succeed, nobly, or fail SO miserably that we
shall never again speak ola railroad.
The terms proposed by this Company are
more easy, more advantageous than those
ever offered by any Company to the people Of
this County, and if they are not accepted
willingly, swiftly and conclusively, then the
people of this County do not deserve rails
raod, and we hope will never have one.

EI.e Seasos. VS.. Che Farmer.

Every one feels, more or less, the
effect of last seasons rains on the
crops and the FARMERS. AS a result
labor was much delayed in the au-
tum.
a few days ago we saw a farmer
about five miles East of lama City,
hauling wheat out OF the shock and
stacking it. This was the first time
we ever saw harvesting done in Feb
ruary.
Mr.. J. S. Townsend, only week or
ten days ago, finished husking 80 acres
OF corn, and we suppose there is much
standing out yet in many parts of the
county. From the number Of stacks
yet standing, we should think the
wheat thrashing is not more than one
third done. Won't the people hope
tor a better season next summer:

running competing lines with different
terminal points. Without philosophiz-
ing, we come straight to the point, and
ask our citizens the plain, simple ques-
ton: DO you want railroad south?
If so, tho time has arrived when you
can secure one, if you will "come
down" with the regular bonus. A live
company has the matter in hand and
will build it IN a reasonable time if we
will do our duty. An enthusiasticmeet-
ingwas held in this city last Wednesday
evening at which J. w. Street, Pres.
ident of the st. Paul, Iowa and st.
Louis X. r. Co., made the proposition,
that if we will turn over to them the
old Iowa Central road bed from here
to Toledo, clear from encumbrance,
with the right Of way, and twenty five
thousand dollars, we shall have the cars
running from here to the Chicago &
Northwestern road, at or near, lama

This means business.

ter of securing subscriptions, in hand
and will canvass the matter thorough.
