his work and that the Monon will likely
assume control Of the Midland on the list
of next month. The Midland is one hundred
miles long, extending from Anderson to
Brazil, traversing very rich agricultural
country and penetrating 5the heart of the
coal region. AS an independent road the
Midland has had a somewhat eventful ex-

now being graded. 1t is understood the
Monon will speedily complete it.
