Monticello May Have New Depot Next Year.

Monticello Journal. Railroad officials who have been passing through the city, have been dropping hints that Monticello may expect a new Monon station next summer* There has been no definite promise, but Monticello people have been assured that their new station will follow Monon’s, which was recently completed, and next summer has Keen suggested as a possible time for the beginning of the construction of the new building.

Local people will greet the news with relief and approval, as the present Monon station would hardly coincide with the city beautiful idea. Besides beihg old and unattractive, the building is too small for the amount of business transacted, and the Monon company will probably find it advisable, from the viewpoint of their own profits, to construct a larger and more commodious building.
