finer streets than Circleville. Although
we have had rain nearly every day for

The greatest need of this place seems
| to be comfortable depot building. The
town is one of the most important on
the line, and the present building is
hardly in keeping with the other I'M:

condition of the road. The new railroad
enterprise is awakening considerable

honor both to the town and the road
and now If 1t will give us good depot
the citizens will be thoroughly satisfied.
