place where the convention that draft
ed the constitution held its sessions.
The attendant ceremonies were APP
propriate. During the morning the
oaths of office were administered.
The two galleries were filled with
spectators.
The message of Gov. Charles II.
Haskell was read by his private sec
rotary, Joseph NJ. Sandlin, from the
speakers rostrum. Its contents YER
greeted by a show OF interest among
the 1853 legislators. The important fea-
lures, relating to tha financial situa-
tion and legislation affecting convict
labor employed by county authorities,
had been anticipated with considera-
BILE speculation. The decisive name
in which the subjects were handled
was characteristic of the author.

McWilliams OF Mattoon. H., and Small

lions. Foohey & Sons are doing the
biggest portion of the work, about 10
miles. A. v. Willis & Sons are doing
the deepest portion. at the southern
end of the ditch.
Though the main ditch is 1914 miles
long, two dredge boats of a small type
are busy cutting laterals that will
total IL miles in length, Small ditch
ing will drain lower places into them.
Already the county court has pur-
chased the bridges for crossing the
ditch-one bridge every two miles.
Each Of these bridges costs $4,000.
and these must be paid for by the
drainage district.
I'VE have tried to complete this big
Job in the right fashion," said John d..

and Manufacturers bank of Rich Hill.

made money, simply through the fact
that the ditch is being built. | know
of one man who protested against the
ditch and who has since sold his land
for a profit of 81 900. Another has
cleared $40, 900, while the biggest oper-

this fine land.
Practically everything can be
raised on this soil. 1t is rich, with the
