for 500, 900, with the prOviso that the
college should raise $25.0O0. This was
done. but the Rev Mr.. James did not
make good He SAID that he was go

great excitement here. and FOR few

Going Right Along, According to
Rushville Paper.
(Rushville News.)

That Mr. Wilson Of the c. G. & X.
traction company is sincere and
wants to build his line, can be no
longer doubted as the procuring Of
the right Of way and franchises in
cities and towns is progressing very
nicely.
Mr.. Wilson has filed with the re-
corder of this county twenty-five war
ranty deeds and two contracts for
real estate, which makes them the
owners Of almost all the right of way
on the proposed line through Rush
county between Greensburg and Con-
nersville.
The line as surveyed passes through
New Salem. 1t passes through the
townships of Richland and Noble in
this county. If the road is built on
that line, it is reasonable to predict
that line from Greenfield to Rush
vile through this city will be built.
