SUMMER RESORT: ~''
Rev. II. Bross, Of Nebraska, who IT,
centlyvisited WorthiDgton, writes to
the Lincoln Globe an account OF this
visit. After describing the burning of
the Journal office he says:
Besides the Journal, Worthington
has another paper, the Advance,
newsy sheet published by MI. Miller,
formerly Of the Toledo Blade. The
people of Wortllngton arc social, in
telliyent, enterprising. It is II charm
ing place to spend few days for sum-
mer rest. Just west of the town is Il
beautiful little lake, Okabena, south
another, southwest three miles qnolh-
er, whit several charming lakes are
found wit hin u circuit Of Il few miles.
Rowing on the lakes, swinging in
{, hammock from the trees on the
shore or making chance aciluall-
tancrs the time passes r]tas-
antly and rest comes with every day.
GENERALLY, it is clear here, the air
cool and bracing, although. we have
had some rainy days since came.
Soon after arriving here, l obtained
the use Of Il little canoe, and rs the
evenings have been mainly pleasant
and moonlight have had Il good time
''paddling my own conoc." 1t is next
thing to being at the scashore: The
hunting is good now; prairie chickens
in abundance, ducks, and soon to lie
plenty Of geese. AS this is ile near
est point to Lincoln where lakes, ltunt-
ing and fishing, ETC., are found com-
bincu should think that by another
season excursions from Lincoln to
Worthington could he ARIA" ged. 1t
is now but about II hours run from
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. from Sioux City, %
miles on the $. E.. q st. Z. r. K. Mr..
O'Bryan, Of Omaha, agent OF the road,
has arranged this summer excursions
to Minneapolis, st. Paul, and l pre-
sumo, could ise counted upon to inter-
est himself in this matter.
TIE SOUTHERN MINNESOTA.
Permanent lines between here and
Paramount arc being surveyed, tie
preliminary line already having b zen
surveyed to the Jackson county liAa,
seven miles east of town, and now tie
final line is being brought up to that
point. Ties and iron have already
reached Fairmount for the eXtention
aud the grading is progressing slowly.
The end Of the season will SEE the read
completed to Jackson, and which ever
route is determined upon near town
we have no idea that amy business cen
ters us at present located will be dis
cursed or changed. Tie nepot will
undoubtedly be located within y half
mile Of town, which IS sufficiently near
for all practical purposes. The officers
OF the com,nuy express themselves as
determined to crafty the people aid
will do SO unless engineering obstacles
compel them to do otherwise. Il little
more surveying and it vii! be decided
as to the liue.-.Iackson Republic.
The Albert Lea Standard says:
1t would seem necessary tl':t Ivy the
time the Southern minnesota re;cEes
jackson it will he necessary to make u
division somewhere, and it has been
suggested that All,ert Lea is the point

should go to Wortlington this city
tween Lacrosse and that point on the
road, am, no doubt wol,ld he ravorally
considered iy tire officers oi the ccn-
pany in establishing ends of divisions.
The Lacrosse Chronicle says that
this road is arranging for its fall bust.
ness upon the basis Of "a largely reduc.
ed harvest.
