We are informed BY thoae claiming to
know whereof they speak ihat Benton
county stands ready to build the road to
wanaw the moment Pestis completes il TO
the county line. The road would he Of in
cslculable benefit not only TO Sedslia, but
to the entire county. II would open up .

the Usage valley n famous, directly 10 our

But the world il progressing and won't
wait on the sluegard. We must either

more fortunate and enserpsising city step

Sedalis desires 70 Be the capital Of the
great state Of Missouri. Il u within her
reach. and With her people to say whether
OF not she will reach the goal. We do not
say for . moment that the building Of the
Marrow Gauge will remove the capital, bot
re do say that il sould have great in6u. |
ence With the people Of the entire State.
Brsides, even II il didn't secure the capital,
The history Of our city convinces ~ that
Ne would be no sorsr od than nov. and
The building Of this road would do good in |
other respects than this.
The directon should push thingsor other
wise the enterprise will fall TO the ground
and Je6enon or some other city step in
and take the road OF our hands and the
business elsewhere.
