Some contemplate wretch deliberately
ruined the cement walk put in by Mr.. Ralph

pie up there think that the railroad COM

yes. AS it now is, the city of Middleton is
without depot, sidetrack, or any other con

Dewey has been to great expense in build
ing the railroad and making other improve
ments, and as the favor he asks is but {
small one, compared to the benefits prom
ised, am one who is heartily in favor O
helping him. With sidetracks and depot
Middleton would move along with grea
strides, as it is now, she is nearly at stanc
still. But, l can live, and the people O
Middleton can live, no matter what tn,
