of the town boys and like many other
town boys, he had no need for an educa-

standing on the street corners, smoking,
swearing, and making sport of the "coun-
tryjakes." But, as the years swept on,
Clems' funds ran low, and he must needs
look about for something to to. Every

The affairs Of the S, ]. q p. Narrow
Gauge Railroad are in a better condition
than ever before. Some three thousand
dollars of stock has been paid or settled
at this place within the past few days.
Two car loads Of spikes and bolts are at
this place, and the laying Of iron will be
commenced at Waverly and pushed
north, and at Washington and pushed
south, early in next month. Lewis Davis,
David D. DUNCAN and Benjamin Trago,
have taken the contract for branch
road from Jackson up Horse Creek to
Eurekaville, there TO Intersect the Day
ton a. Southeastern road. This branch
runs through the center Of the very rich
est coal region in jackson county. Work
will be commenced just as soon as the
right of way shall have been secured. 1t
has been rumored that some Of the land
owners on this branch will refuse to grant
the right of way. We cannot under
stand how any one could be so utterly
blind TO his own interest. If the parties
do not have coal on their land, the great
coal business that will spring up, will
double the value Of all the lands near the
road.
Six months ago we would. have sold
our stock in the road for 30 cents on the
dollar; to-day we would not sell it at par
That is the way the present management
OF the road has revived our confidence.
