Several stalks of pretty tall corn have been brought in to The Democrat this week to enter the contest for the cash premiums offered by this paper. We want to see several hundred contestants for these premiums, and if you have some good lengthy corn, bring in a stalk and enter it. Remember that the name of every contestant and the length of the stalk entered will be published in The Democrat of Sept. 22. Vice-President Carter of the proposed C. I. & E. railroad which is surveyed to pass through the northern part of Jasper county, is quoted in the Indianapolis News as saying that the company is encountering difficulty in financing the project, owing to the scarcity of money at present, and is waiting until the time is ripe to interest outside capital. “The inactivity of the company',” says the News, “tends to confirm the belief, held by many at the time the franchise was sought, that the C. I. & E. does not intend to build its proposed road, but was merely seeking valuable franchise rights to be disposed of by it in any way that it might see fit.”
