It will be remembered some
time since, a great deal of atten-

Ky. This interested number of
prominent people in this section
and very recently Hon. Chas. +.

Harrison of Spanish Lake made
a journey there to investigate for
themselves, and we understand
they are both very enthusiastic
over the future prospects Of that
territory.

ton was formed under the title
