1t isn't in human nature to paint very
often; we don't expect them to come

we want is to paint what they have to
paint whenever they paint II; the long

VALUABLE RAILWAY
The Mineral Point and Northern

When the work of grading and
track laying is completed the Mineral
Point and Northern Company will
have very valuable line of railway.
From Highland it will run little east
OF south and cross the c. Il N. w.
track about midway between Cobb and
Edmund, - the lowest point on the
Military ridge thence down the Nor
rison valley to the Pecatonica, and
thence east to the St. Paul track, at
John Lawinger's farm in the town OF
Kendall, Lafayette county, aud thence
north to Mineral Point. The Mineral

really feasible route for running a
railway north and south through
