reason, which perhaps the person who
runs the one-horse sheet in the alley.
will possibly explain in some manner,
most unsatisfactory, there has been
nothing done lately in regard to the
matter, and the indications are not
very good With all the buster and
blow made last winter, when the road
was projected, it was expected, and, by
the way, promised, that the road would
be in operation in time for the county
fair, but the fair has come and gone,
and all that has been done has been to
have the people vote $50 900 bonds and
the company made a preliminary sur
yey. 1t has dawned upon the minds of
some of the people, after a great while,
that the people back of the project
thought they had a good thing to sell
after the county mad voted for the
bonds, but when 1t came to putting the
thing on the market 1t did not go the
way they expected. Some parties did
come and look the proposed road over
with a view to constructing and operat-
ing 1t, but they went away and failed to
return. Perhaps now that bad weather
Is coming on and the roads will become
almost impossible there will be a re-
Vival OF the railroad talk, but it Is dol
lars to doughnuts that 1t will never be
built by local capital. The Register has
always advocated the building of the
road and believes 1t would be a good
thing. There is not the least doubt but
that 1t would be paying investment.
