Missouri railroad projection that does
not hit fancy county. All this goes TO
show that there is such general recog
milton Of the greatness OF 1aney county's
resources AZ will insure railway trans
portation in the near future, outside the
White River railroad, which is now
certainty.

readers to draw their own conclusions:
Reliable information reaches Jasper
to the effect that upwards Of one hun
dred men are now ut work presumably
for the Rock Island II. Il. making Il
survey In the northwest part Of the
county. These are certainly hopeful
signs for Newton county md her people
