SALDM'S BOON
New Industry Promised, With Sl0,'
600 Hotel.
Railroad and a Bank Possibilities Of
the Near Future.

Salem, Livingston county, is on
boom. A new 90, Touring mill
has been contracted for, and much
Of the stock for $40, 600 hotel taken.
1t il understood that the chances for
the early construction Of the railroad
are now fiattering. Those who profess
to know claim that the railroad being
built to Golconds will cross the river
at Carrsville and that the route al
ready surveyed will be taken via Sal
EN-, Dycusburg and Kuttawa. A road
was recently surveyed from Eddyvi lie
to the new Clarksville and Nashville
road and IL Is believed that the scheme
will be to make . con nection. A re-
port is in circulation to the effect that
the Golconda road will be built up
the Ohio Is far as Shetlerville and
that q transfer will be put in from
there to Carrsviile as deep water exists
all the season at both points.
Salem is also to have bank. The
capital stock, $4,000 has already
been taken. The stockholders are con-
cerned In the Touring mill and will
not likely begin the bank building un-
til early in the fall. 1t is sure, how.
ever that the bank will be established.
