A CONSIDERABLE portion OF the dis
! putsd right Of way for the T. V. K. K
down the creek, hs, been obtained at
price fixed which is within
reason. Those who adopt the dog-in-the-
manger policy of not getting any benefit
themselves and not letting others get any
and who want more ttsn the price OF
their whole farm for a small strip through
them, will find that they have over
reached themselves when the damages
assessed by jury prove less than the
company would pay now. Mr.. Z. z.
Rhodes is in Cleveland attending meet
ing OF the T. V. railroad directors. This
meeting, it is supposed, will determine
the,questlon of beginning work on the
road. 1t this is delayed until alter July
LIST, many of the subscriptions expire by
Limitation, and it is doubtful whether the
enterprise will ever be carried out. We
hope to see force at work on this end of
the road within twenty days.
