In Judge Smiths court Tuesday,

Sunday is in violation of the law, and as

Frank Hitchcock is employed with
the interurban surveying party that are
at work laying out the line between here
and GAINESVILLE. They will have reached
this city by the end of the week. Gen
orally they follow the road, but on the
Cox homestead they split eighty acres
diagonally the long way. The Hubbell
and Serns farms are also cut il two. At
the Ford the survey crosses the Babcock
property on the eastern limit of the vii
lage, twenty five foot cut being neces-
sary to get through the bluff. The line
then crosses the Milton road, cuts north
across the river and then goes up mar
row ravine and strikes the Edgerton
road at the home of G. w. Coxhead.
Another route under consideration goes
up the river after crossing and strikes
across the country in the vicinity of
Peters slaughter house.
