many Of them have been purchasing their pro-
visions, &C., from merchants with stamps, thus
Illegally increasing their percentage. This

A change has been made in the route
Of the Columbus e. Maysville railway
south Of HillsbOro, leaving Ripley Out
Of the line, and running to MaysYillc
by the way OfAberdeen and Russelviile
This meets the approval of the Mays
Vile people, and it is said by the friends
Of the road at IlillsbOro, secures the
completion of the southern end Of the
road.
AS to the northern end, there is a
proposition TO run the road to Columbus
via New Vienna, Centcrville, Sabina,
South Plymouth and JefpersOnville,
provided the money is raised on that
route before 1t Is raised on the route
via Washington. Meetings have been
held at points on the new proposed
route, and an effort is to be made to
raise the required stock. The Hillbo-
70 Gazette, Of the 23d, says:
"Col. Picard, acting under instrue-
tiOns from President Bell and the Con-
structiOn Company, has been over the
new line by way of New Vienna, Cen
terville, Sabina and thence to Mt. Ster-
ling, and advised the people along that
line that II they succeeded In raising
their quota Of money before the east
line (via Leesburg and Washington
raises theirs, they shall have the road.
The proposition has been received with
great enthusiasm, and everybody is up
and at work in the interest Of the road.
Meetings were held at Centerville Mon
day night, Sabina Tuesday night, South
Plymouth yesterday afternoon, and
JetiersOnville last night, and they were
all well attended by the wealthy farm
ers, who are In dead earnest. These
meetings are being attended by Presl-
dent Bell. The chances are decidedly |
favorable to that route. Washington Is |
about done with the enterprise busi-
ness; they've got enough, and can
hardly raise their quota, so they must
be satisfied with what they have"
