The Waupaca Republican says:
There is rumor afioat that the work
on the Central railroad, necessary to
complete it to Ashland, will not be done
this season. We trust this is unfounded,

the track is to be built is submerged in
water good deal of the way, and it
will probably be late in the season be-
fore grading can be done on much of
the line -. A party from Waupaca,
longing for warmer cline, visited
Virginia, and have returned after buy
ing lands in Suffolk county. This is in
the tidewater region, and among the

counts have inspired very many to get
ready to follow them.
