Of that enterprise in Illinois. From all
those who have ever visited this coun-
try before and since it was drained il is
hardly conceivable how anyone could
oppose the drainage OF bottom or over

try where drainage was necessary have
increased from nothing almost to one
hundred and one hundred and fifty dol

can not be bought. II such is the case
in Illinois what should it be in Obion
