Carrollton Record:-ssWe hope before an
4 other issue of the Record to be able to an
nounce that the railroad is an assured fact,
and that men are ut work on the line. All
| the talk which has been so prevalent about
work having been already commenced Is
| premature There has been no work done,
and there will be none until all the arrange
ments are completed and the right-of-way
secured. We are glad to be able to state
that the work Is nearly completed from Oil
| yer Buntin's farm to the county line, one
mile north aud a half mile east of Clone, .
| distance of about II miles. Proceedings
have been instituted for the condemnation
| of land belonging to non~-residents, minor
| heirs. and two or three men who won't do
anything, and these proceedings will delay
| the work only a few days. We hope next
week to be able to say that work has COM
mencea on the Carrolltol division Of the
