Purtelle “Railroad” In Bad State of Repair.

We would kindly suggest that the Republican editors go up and straighten up the trestle work on the- Purtelle “railroad” near the Kankakee. It is badly out of repair and many of the supports are toppled over so that it is dangerous to run “cars” over it. If the r. e’s. can not attend to the matter right away, perhaps they will inform the “member or tne Goild family” who is now in charge of the “road” so that he may look after it before some serious accident occurs. 1
