Dr.Norveli of Bloomfieldj who was one of the gentlemen here in the interest of the St. Louis and Cincinnati railroad, is a brother of Mrs. Parker Pearson. The visiting railroad men were gratified with the cordial reception given them in Bloomington, and
went away fully satisfied that our people earnestly desire that the St
Louis and Cincinnati railroad be built.
Railroads are not built with
wind it takes money, and a good
deal of it. So you will see the
necessity for voting an appropriation to assist in building the east and west line. It is as bread cast upon the waters it will come back
to us in the way of cheap freights, growth of country and city, and a
better selling value.
It would be difficult to find a
a man to-day, we presume, at least
a man who has traveled, who opposes the building of a railroad. Railroads build up towns, populate
the country, attract persons who desire to invest, encourage manufacturers to locate aud remain in a
town, and do more toward develop
ing a country than any other mod- - , . a 1
ern agency. Just Keep this idea in
mind.
The syndicate that purchased
the Jim Williams and John C. Whisnand properties are in luck.

The "Golden Rnle" store, on the south side, has been crowded with goods this season. Mobley appears to be carrying a larger and more diversified stock each year, and his trade is increasing ae steadily and bo satisfactorily that he is sometimes unable to wait upon all who call with the promptness he would like. Still they wait, good naturedly, feeling that they can f-
tord to be discommoded because of
the bargains they secure at the
"Golden Rule." Yon will find many articles at this store this season that have not been bandied heretofore, and the prices are so low that anybody's parse can be fitted.
