All that can be heard around town Is
"Railroad Railroad" One thing is GER
tain, we are going TO have a railroad
through our township. But the present
outlook is very discouraping for securing
a depot, as we have only raised $780, Let
us ask ourselves whether we deserve a
depot at that price? Another survey IS
being made abou! ~ miles south Of town
in the hope Of shortening the route. Gra-
ding has begun on the Woods and Doane
farms So we can see the cars 90 by, any
way; we presume that will be a great con-
ISOLATION to some. But 1t may be more of
a consolation If we haye to go ten miles
10 get on them for ride. But the old
saying is, "What you have not got in your
head you must have In your heels"
