Senatorial Adonis. When he was in the

$1OO, 600; Ross county, $s2,0o9; Highland
county, $4,000; Fayette county, $S5, 1000;

dient for the Springfield, Jackson &
Pomeroy Railroad Company and the

pany to unite their lines at Washington
T.. II. Oh equitable terms, and make one
common line to Jackson q. H."
The greatest confidence in the success
of the enterprise was manifested by the
