James and Company store; then an.
gled off seeking a good route tt
Atlantic, which lies fifteen miles
away; little to the south. east. Thii
being only the preliminary survey Of
course it is impossible for US to tel
at this time just where the line will
finally be placed as they will make
four or five different attempts 10 gel
into town, and then select the best
one. When we were in town, Tues
day, there were only three in the
surveying party and they only EN-

newed courage and buoyed them up
with the hope that after so long q
time the long looked for railway wa
coming ut last.
