Last Tuesday D. L. Smith,
G. W. StinsUn, n. B. Mccormick u. A.
Spaulding, j +. Morse and We Editor
took a trip into Walnut township to
have a talk with the good people OF that
precinct about the railroad pro 5itiOn.
On arrival at Rudy Heth's, where a
meeting had been called for that night,
we found his cOmmOdiOus residence
packed full of Walnut township men
who seemed to be fully awake to the
importance of the enterprise and eager
to learn more about it. The meeting
was organized by calling Daniel kOry,
quite elderly and very intelligent gen
tleman. to the chair, on taking which
he made few very pertinent remarks,
showing hat he was familiar with the
subject, as well as the duties of a chair
man. Several of our company made
short talks, and MIR. StinsOn made a
speech OF u hall hours duration IN which
he treated the subject In an able man
ner. Then commenced a series Of ques-
lions and answers, followed by short
talks by the people which plainly indi-
Gated that the audience was IN earnest
IN the matter and ready to do its part.
Our party were right roy ally entertained
that night at the homes Of Mr.. Heth
and A. A. Burdeck, on Walnut creek.
Wednesday morning, Messrs. StlnsOn,
McCOrmick, and Joseph Young who
had joined the party, spent some time
looking up some land interests OF Mr.
SunsUn's and returned To PhilIipsburg,
while the rest of the party spent the
day visiting among the people and al
tended another meeting IN the evening
al the Page school house on Dry creek,
where another good audience had as
semOIed. UnC.e William Gipe was
chosen chairman and in a few well
chosen remarks opened the netting
which Was subsequently entertained for
some lime by our worthy county treas
ur6r, VINO, Tor the purpose OF IllustI a
lion and some figures it contained, had
taken the railroad tax roll along, and
from us ample folds brought out both
new aud old that well pleased The peO-
pie, after which our young attorney, O.
A. Spaulding made good speech, and
was followed BY a'number Of the good
people OF the township in short talks,
III which the chairman Mr.. Gipe, Il +,
Heth, +. l.. LOOMS, IL. 4. Sheriff., +.
h. Kellogg, Jas. Crimes and Mr.. FOry
LOOK part, aud the result was eminentIy
satisfactory 10 the friends or the PROJECT
OF building q north and south road
and making il certain that every town
ship On the line would vote theboudS by
a vote that viii be practically unana-
nous, and thus secure TO themselves an
important railroad connection both
north and south, and such competition
III rates as will be of great and lasting
advantage 10 them. While IN the town
ship we visited the family OF Mr., and
Mrs b b. Hubbard, who have just
met with a great atfiIciOn, Mrs. Hub
bard having just returned from Boise
City, Idaho, where she had been visit
ing her daughter, who had lived there
about year and was in quite poor
health, and when her mother was ready
TO return she became insane and was
brought back in that condition. 1t is
feared that she may never be better, as
she has not eat en- food for ten days and
she cannot live long in her present con-
diuOn. This sad case has thrown
gloom over a whole community OF sym
pathizing friends. We also took din
ner with Mr.. and Mrs. BOOvey, they are
vO1 no people of intelligence and have
ant home and many evidences
abouU laenl happiness and prosperity.
