evening, where he went on railroad BUSH
ness, and when The GAZETTE reporter
found the doctor this morning he was

didn't know what 10 say, only that he
found the people of Honey Grove scared
almost TO death in regard to where the

Honey Grove will get the main line,
while othero think that she will only get
top from Lqdonia, and that the main
line will run IRON Ladonia to
Paris, and II such Is the case,
some OF the largest subscribers at Honey
Grove say that they will withdraw their
subscription, for they understood that
