The subscription books for the Sedalia
and Warsaw Marrow Gauge road have
been open now for over week, but the
amount which it Was agreed that this

necessary to rehearac in this connection the
advantages OF the road. They have already

fully comprehend them. All know that
THE TRADE

prosperity. she has been in great measure
bull: upon it, and owes all the vitality
which nov characterize her industries To
their teeming supplies which are furnished
BY the southwest. In view Of these facts
the apathy now manifested regarding this
necessary enterprise is surprising. 1t should
not exist, and the sooner Sedalia pnts her

been aroused By the people OF Benton
county, the sooner
