That the Short Line, operating be-
tween Edison and Mt. Gilead, will be
abandoned in the near future, as has
been feared, now seems certain. The
Mt. Gilead employees of the Big Four
received notice that they could expect
a transfer within sixty days, and the
town of Mt. Gilead will be restricted
to such transportation facilities as
the T. & o. G. permits, and these at
present are far from being adequate
and satisfactory A number of years
ago the village of Mt. Gilead built
the Short Line connecting it with the
Big Four at Edison and leased it to
the then Bee Line which has operated
"dinky" over it ever since. Now
that the Big Four is about to give
up the lease, Mt. Gilead finds herself
with railroad on her hands and no
one to operate it. Commenting on the
proposed change, the Mt. Gilead SEN
tinel says;

Indianapolis division, and other rep

skill in cutting and are source Of con-
siderable trouble to the wearer. Stiff COL

the fight is going to be q hard one, par
ticularly as the leaders of fashion-high

With reference to rumors circulating

denies the truth of such rumors, and says
that the only negotiations now In prog
ress are for a private railway loan under

On the other hand. 1t is learned from an
entirely trustworthy source here that ne
gotiations are actually proceeding, not
for a loan of $15.00000o. but for a first
installment of loan of $4,000, 600. which
Will probably be followed by other In

Now on top of everything else Marty
