the railroad, Typographical advantages and
aggregation or business Interests. But the
lille village Of Springfield, with an old dis
msntled courthouse (once the county Site, lie
ambitious of "courtly" honors. The town OF
Plunerville, on the railroad, ia also an aspi-
rant, and 1t Is not improbable that the latter
may be chosen by resson OF balance of
power in the race. All OF these places offer
