MEXICO wants Il German Church.
The church proposed for Rush
Hill, or n eve much larger, we
think should be located at Mexico,
which is a central point for all
members Of the church in Audrain
county. G. d. Ferris says he will
give 500 toward a German Church
in Mexico, and is sure at least
81, 900 can be raised for such a pur-
pose in a couple of hours. We
have talked with quite IA number
of business men in Mexico and
find them all impressed with this
idea, and we are sure money could
be raised TO erect a fine edifce in
Mexico. Now is the time to push
the matter and we trust that early
summer will find a large German
Church erected in Mexico Con
cert of action will fill this long
felt want without much cost to
any individual.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, Feb. IS.-In-
terest has been revived here in the
proposed Chicago, Hannibal and
Springfield Railroad by a visit
from the chief engineer, w. 4.
Williams, of Chicago, w. p. Clark
and c. NJ. Wicker, two experts in
railroad building. The two ex-
perts left here with Engineer VIII
hams this afternoon to make an
examination of the entire line, as
well as the bonuses offered by the
different counties through which
the road will pass.
Before leaving they investigated
and pronounced all right the
bonus put up by citizens of this
place. which is in the shape of
notes amounting to about 100000
deposited in the Greene County
Bank, and payable when the first
through train arrives here from
Hannibal.
The object of the two experts is
to get data and prepare a report on
the proposed road to be laid be-
fore a syndicate of London capital
lists, who. it is understood, have
signifed their intention of buying
enough of the oompany's bonds TO
enable them to build and put the
road in operation, provided the
outlook is sufficiently encouraging.
1t is now hoped that work on the
road will begin as soon as spring
opens.
WILL THE ROAD BE BUILT?

whether the proposed road will
ever be constructed. The LEDGER
