of Goose Pond. He said it looked too bad
to see it stated in the papers that the
council was putting so much money In an old
goose pond. Even 80, but the council should
have thought of that twelve month 8 age, when
q few dollars would have repaired the culvert

name of Americas Vespucius has stuck to
this country despite all of the protests of his
~torisns, and the name of Goose Pond will sd-
here to it as long as time holds and memory
lasts. And. by the way, what name can be
more appropriate? Goose! Why the word
just fits the pond AMI the situation.
In replying to the same paragraph from the
Herald which we mentioned last week, the
Post says:-"The road that he speaks of.
however, as being surveyed on south of US
between Lees Summit and Kansas City, is an
entirely different route. known as the Mis-
souri, Central. That road has been regularly
surveyed each year for the past four or five
years. 1t may be built, and it may not. If it
is built the only effect will be to lniure the
prospects of the Short Line; it would not in.
terfere with the Springfield connection"
This statement is correct, that Is. partially SO.

Our contemporary, the Advance. at Hie-
ginsville, week before last, asserted that it
was thought by some persons that the county
court refused to confirm the contract with
Mr.. Aull because that gentleman would, II
