THE T. & C. T. RAILROAD.

Pulaski County Deniecrat: Col. R A. Hamilton was here yesterday on T. & C. T. railway business. He assured those whom he talked that the road is going to be built, and built at once. He drove out east to where a corps of surveyors are working to see that they are getting along all right. This corps has worked west from Rochester. The camp was moved onto Alf Carper’s farm today, and the men expect to be here by tomorrow. Col. Hamilton states positively that actual construction work will commence at Rochester, running east next week, and that another gang will a few days later start west from there, this latter gang being expected to practically complete the work to this point by spring. Come ahead.
