Not Dead Issue.

Emphatic echoes are still being
heard from the project for the con,
strucuon OF the wabash, or Northern
railroad through this vicinity over
the right of way route formerly Sc.
cured. We know of properties hav-
ing been recently bought and partly
paid for. and hear of Second payments
having been made to others along
the proposed line. In addition to
these, a man was seen by one of our
townsmen few days since who is
working for the company east of us,
and made the statement that the pro-
posed road was by no means a dead
issue, but that the plan of pushing
the line on through here was being
constantly talked over by the officials,
and ere we are aware OF it, would
take such tangible shape as to remove
all doubt from the minds OF those who
had seemingly lost faith in the pro-.
tect. This all sounds encouraging to
those still hoping and waiting, but
the greatest Joy will come with its
visible realization.

were SO numerous that certain par

entrance. While discussing with a
second party the theory Of their hay
ing been rained down during the hard
shower as is often claimed to be the
fact, but which said second party was
inclined to dfscredit, third party

of doubt, made the statement that he
knew the theory to be correct from
the fact that he was caught in hard
rain storm between this city and.
Riyesyflle. somes years since, when
they rained down in such deluge
that he knew ten barrels could have
been shoveled up within three miles
along the road after the rain ceased.

what Next in order?

We answer for the city and county
that the first thing wanted, and next
in order of time, is new bridge
across the river at this point. The
reason for this demand, everywhere
heard. it is not necessary for us to
repeat for they are already too well
known. Another thing we learned
while out among the citizens of the
county during the past few weeks Is,
that we want county court willing
to see the patent reasons for this de-
mant and proceed at once to replace
the broken bands, weakened strans
and rotten stills Of this old and long
condemned structure, and give us a
safe one in it's place. The people are
losing sympathy with this prolonged
delay, and whatever the personal rea-
sons for it, or local interest at vari-
ance with the demand, they openly
proclaim that il the members of the
present court will not act, they win
select others who seeing the danger
of delay will provide at once to meet
and avert it.

it now takes courage of the same

him such law, and it was in obedt-
ence to this request that Senator Ell
kins fromed the law that now bears
his name. And It was passed with
practical unanimity by both branches
