directors meeting of the Grant Rail
way Company at Mt. Hope last Fri
day. The matter of selling out to
the new electric company, the Chicago
Short Line Co., was discussed The
Indebtedness of the company was dis.
cussed. 1t was found that the debts
amounted to $3700. The sentiment
seemed to be that if the new company
would pay these debts the old COM
pany would dissolve and give the new
a chance. The new company appears
to mean business. When Mr.. Nc
Donald was in town the other day be
informed us that he was having the
papers of the case drawn up by Judge
Wood, a prominent bond attorney of
Chicago, so that all guess work and
irregularities shall be eliminated.

the prize egg find recently. To begin
with the egg was 716z9 and of Ply
mouth Rock breeding. When Mrs.
Frazier broke the egg there were two
yolks and perfect small egg found
in the interior. The small egg was
nearly or quite as large as an average
pullet egg. Thus the egg held about
the same as three eggs. This beats
all the egg records we ever heard of.
