east and south again to the main line

The concert given at Royal hall,
Monday evening, by the local orchestra,

done and the harmony preserved
throughout. 1t is rare that an Edger-
ton audience is given an opportunity to
listen to a concert of greater merit. The
piano used on the occasion was furnish

If it be true that the Rockford, Be-
lott & GAINESVILLE electric railway has
been sold by Mr.. John Farson to the

and it may mean that the proposed Mad
ison extension, so much talked of, is an
other "dead one." The Rockford COM
pany now controls all the lines coming
into that city and may not care to de-
velop new propositions. If the sale, how
ever, is simply the formation of large
holding company, it may mean that Far
son is still the controlling spirit and the
extension will be assured.
