PURTELLE AT KENTLAND.

Tells People There He Will Run His Road From Mt. Ayr To Brook and Kentland. Eugene Purtelle, erstwhile “board of trade” operator and railroad promotor, has been over to Kentland this week trying to interest people there in his railroad project, and says if they will do the right thing—pay his debts and put up the money for the road, no doubt—he will run the road from Mt. Ayr through Brook and thence to Kentland. Unless we greatly mistake the intelligence of the people ov**r there Mr. Purtelle will not be taken for the value he himself ~ thinks he is worth, but rather at the value he is placed at where best known, and that is something less than three dimes.
