Morocco Enthused Over L. & N. W Ry. Prospects.

JJacring the unusual, it seems certain that the interurban line will be constructed as proposed. Manager and Mr. Shellhous were here last week looking over the territory for the most feasible entrance and exit from Morocco; and assured us that they knew of no reason why the line would not go through as planned. They will probably leave Mt. Ayr a short distance to the north and come straight west halfway between the east and west highways until they reach the stone road half a mile east of Morocco and contlue due west over the street past the electric light plant. 'However, this is only suggestive on their part and may be changed when running the Survey which is now being done between Rensselaer and Morocco. Their idea is to follow the shortest route and eliminate all curves possible; E. G. i Perrigo was in Lafayette Monday and called at the office, of the company. He is entirely convinced that the road will go through and believes it. will be a great help to Morocco “ and the territory through which It passes. He expects to have a switch on his farm as it will probably pass the north sicie of his land. Mr. Perrigo also met a man on the train from the Round Grove country in White county, who told him that a, town had been laid out thbre, a farmer’s elevator and a bank organized.——Morocco Courier.
