Illustrations Of its weakness, when it wa,
needed the most The citizens of this vi

Shurtlih were appointed such committee
During tie past week they have canyassed
the village pretty thoroughly and the en-
that they have received Ina,
been sufficient to show, that the necessary
amount (sl200) can be raised, and we hone
to be able soon to announce the remodel
ing of the court room, and to especially an
nomcc that the Jail is safe.

Supt. I. c. White not only believing that
it is right to run a railroad for the benefit
of the stockholders. but also for those lis

giving all who desire an opportunity to at
