FINAL SURVEY
WAS BEGAN
OF New Railway Line---Daw-
son Springs To Be Connect
ed With Providence.

Dawson Springs, KY, Jan. g.
A locating party under the supervis-
ion Of A. B. B. Harris, of Chicago. To-
eating engineer for the Illinois Cen
trail railroad has began the final sur
vey of the new proposed railroad line
connecting this city with Providence.
The preliminary survey for this
road was made two years ago, but il
is stated a few changes will be made
along the line. This route, which is
a distance of twenty-five miles passes
through one of the richest coal and
timber belts of this district. Thous-
ands Of acres of the best grade of
bituminous coal, which is undevel-
oped with the exception Of few local
mines at this place, will be available
along the entire route.
The new road will touch along the
line of Charleston, Beulah and Dalton,
intersecting with the main line of the
Illinois Central at this place and its
branch road at Providence, which
runs from Blackboard to Dixon.
Theodore R. Troen1le and other
business men of this place are en-
deavoring to secure the extension of
the road to Hopkinsville, which
would give direct rail connection to
Savannah, Ga.

WEED RUSH
Is NOW ON
Tobacco Rolling Into The
City and All Warehouses
Are Busy.

The rush Of tobacco to market this
week has been almost unprecedented.
Long lines of wagons have been at
the loose floors for hours waiting to
be unloaded. There have been
heavy sales every day and heavy de-
liveries at the factories where con-
tract sales have been made. II is
safe to estimate that from SIS, 900 to
100000 is being turned loose weekly
in the city and finding its way into
the channels Of trade. The market
shows no signs of weakening.
