come to life again. Messrs. Petsch
and Payne were in Nauvoo a few
days ago and announced that they had
the capital to build the line from FIT.
Madison to Nauvoo at their command
and If the people in this old Nor
mon town would do their part in rails
ing $4,000, the above gentlemen
were ready to make a forfeit deposit
to insure the construction of the line.
Why delay? Let's move quickly and
begin construction work before the
snow flies, for winter months are
bad times to build railroads unless
you do it on paper, which Nauvoo
has been doing for years. II Messrs.
Petsch and Payne are ready with the
goods that build railroads, we cannot
see why Nauvoo and vicinity people
should hesitate in coming across with
the $4,000 as soon as the deposit
money is placed in one or both of
Nauvoos banks. Hurry up; it will
be winter soon. The southern darky's
love of putting off until next spring
or later which should be done on the
spot, is as well known as 1t is vex-
atious. Messrs. Petsch and Payne
should not follow the darky's ways
of doing things about this Nauvoo in
terurban line.
If you are graduate from the
school of experience, take post
graduate course If the chance offers.
The First National bank has pub
lished another flattering statement
