freigbting done over the P. T. & B. r.
Il. at present, and the road must be
paying immensely. The stock is on
the rise, and if the work continues it
will soon be one of the best stocks in
the market. d. McCargo, the Super

this and the A. V. Road. There are
no idlers on either branch.

in hopes that the perpetrators will
have such gripes in their stomachs as
will cause them to wish they had never
been born. We will reward any per.
son who will give US certain informa'
ton as to who was the thief or thieves.
We have received from the pub.
