Morg. Hampton contemplates opening a street adjoining our village, running north and south, and staking off several town lots. Such a course would be commendable as our town can not possibly improve unless some of our fanners will sell off lots to build on. We understand that the Vandalia company agrees to build a depot if such a course is pursued and surely that is a commodity -we are sadly in need of. The passenger trallie from here is far above the general average of towns its size and yet .lie road affords no accommodations. No difference how cold and disagreeable the weather is if a lady conies to take the train she must walk the platform or sit on a nail keg in the extreme north end of the store, as it would not be lady like in her to crowd the poor dailyloafer away from the tire. So we are of the opinion that all good thinking people should encourage Mr. Hampton in his enterprise.
