Forty years ago, Illinois was as far West
as most people wished to go and Journeys
were made in the legendary "Prairie
Schooner but in these days of Progress
and Improvement, the word West has come
to mean Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Colo,
RADIO, California and the Territories, and
the Traveller reaches almost any point
therein by splendid Line of Railroad.
This Line of Railroad is the Burlington
Route, which starts from Chicago over the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy R. r., from
Indianapolis over the Indianapolis Bloom
ington g. Western Short Line and from
Logansport, over the Toledo, Peoria &
Warsaw r. R., and running through BUR-
LINGToN, reaches Omaha, Lincoln, Nebras-
ka City, St. Joseph, Atchison. Leaven-
worth and Kansas City, connecting with
the Union Pacific, Kansas Pacific and 9TH
er Railroads running from those cities.
Always go SPY way of Burlington and
you will be sure to be right.
The burlington Route has admirably
answered the question, "How to 60 Westo''
by the publication of a truthful and inter-
esting document, filled with facts in regard
to Time. Connections Accommodations
rates of Fare, and other interesting items,
and illustrated by large map, truthfully
showing the whole West, which they dis
tribute free of charge. Copies, and add-

COLORA ITEMS.

The spirit of enterprise is still about,
as is shown in the rapidly building and
substantial houses, and, recently, in sub
stantial walk for pedestrians, that will be
dry in all weather. The neighbors having
become tired of "picking their way over
mud, from the station to the store, second
ed the motion of the inhabitants by turn
ing out with teams and tools, and walk,
part board, with durable stone curbings,
was soon the result. The place had never
been noted for mud, but was becoming
more SO with the constant increase of travel
and teams.
AS a market for hay, Colora seems to
be in advance of any other shipping point
in the county, Port Deposit excepted.
The public road. leading north from
Colora, for about one mile, is in much need
of regular turnpiking, having in many
places nothing but clay bottom, that cuts
up very deep when the frost is comming
out. The stone will he furnished free of
cost by the farmers along the road and
moderate appropriation would pay for the
work

Our Band are now preparing to give a
first class concert some time next month.
They will be aided by amateurs of high
reputation from Baltimore. and promise a
musical treat that will not be exceled out

ity of the parties having it in charge, is a
sure guarantee of its success.
The dedication of the Presbyterian

February. The trustees offered the pews
