are already carpeted and clothed in the

tai stock Is placed at $3.50, 900, divided into
900 shares OF 500 dollars each. We hope
TO see this enterprise prove successful, and
believe that if the road is completed it will
bring IN : larger revenue in proportion to the
amount OF capital invested than any other
road in our State. Ths proposed road will
run through some OF the best farming COM
nanities IN our State, aud viii reach some
very fertile localities, which, from an agIi-
cultural point of view, 10 not amount to
much at present on account Of the lack of
some way OF transporting their products to

put through in time to bring in the present

The school 9IeeiIHE.

According to the announcement made the
taxpayers of this school district met at the
Court House last Tuesday evening to decide
the question as TO whether or not the old
Central School House should be enlarged,
repaired, etc, and when the vote was taken
it showed a very large majority against the
proposition. We believe the decision is
right; it would not be good policy to add an
other story TO that building. 1t Is old and
not worth repairing, and the people are de-
cidedly in favor Of a new building, oEe that
would Je a credit to our city. OF course
til..~s are too hard Just at present to put mp
4 new one, but start could be made in that
direction by the purchase of the necessary
building site. If such a proposition could
be brought before the people of the district
we have no doubt that they would vote in
favor OF It. Such action would insure the
building OF new school house in the neal
future.
