In last Saturdays Record, an article
regarding a new railroad to be built

published. The venture is said to be in
the hands of capitalists of st. Louis and
Chicago. The purpose of this road will
be to get direct route through to the
east, and contend against the Three l.
While this matter is really unofficial,
the movement on foot is assuming def
mite shape, and should it prove salts
factory will be pushed. Reports have
1t that partial survey has been made
as far as Winamac. If this proves au-
thentlc, Plymouth will havean rail
road, which will give hergreater prestige
as a railroad center, above any other city
in the state of Indiana. At Winamac
mass meetings have been held to con-
slider the matter and give encourage
ment To the venture.
