The railroad is nearly done. The rails
are now laid to Mack's Point and the con-
struction train is taking the gravel along
| pretty rapidly for ballasting. Now where
are the unbelieverS who couldn't see any

toots at all times of day and sometimes at
night and we get the metropolitan door Of
the burning coal and feel the pulse OF new
life. There will be siding built at the
village station and spur track at Mack S
