Stand and Deliver.

Dr. Stewart received a letter a 1 few days ago from Dr. Raymond, President of the CL & S, A. K. R. Co., in which he says: "By our contract with the C. A S. A. R. R. Co., they are bound to commence work on ibis branch of the road in earnest by the first of July. They indicate a desire to commence the work sooner if we are ready.— The President is doing all in Ins power to get the quotas ready by the middle of May. It is a hard task for one man to accomplish, and we are all equally interested | in the success of the enterprise, so j lot us all do our share of the work j in this county. White, Lake, Clin- j ton and Boon counties have - all j taken the necessary steps to vote public subsidies. The Dr. says “if, they all carry there will be hardly a doubt about the early commencement of the work.” lie further says j “he Tias very encouraging reports | from Lowell, in Lake county. They j assure me they are fighting to win, j and will come up with their full | amount, §150,000.” This is better J than was expected of Lake county. Jasper county alone hangs back, ! especially in that portion of the j county in which Rensselaer is situated. A straight line from Monticello to Chicago would leave Rensselaer eight miles off the track, and should she not be willing to help herself, it would afford the citizens on "the air Sine" an opportunity to secure the road, which we are informed they are anxious to work for. The Dr. says in conclusion: Our friends in Chicago are in good spirits and working with great energy.— Important negotiations are penrii iigbet w eeiQli ei a and t heßn 1 t.i mn-r p and Ohio Railroad for an entrance in the city. This is regarded hopeful, and we will know in a week or two. — Delphi Times.
