LOUISVJLLB, IU., Nov. 2«.— From reliabl'^ sources we learn that vwrk la actually under way on the proposed Illinois Southern and Ken¬ tucky nallroad. extending from ¦dgewood In Effingham county, throD'h the western border ot this eonaty to Metrorolin In Illinois, and from thence to Fulton, Ky. The final grade stakes for immediate grading are being set all along the line In tkia county, and a camp for grade vorkmen. teams, and machinery has been estabiiahed in Songer township at Conners' Prairie, near the Nugent farm. Seventy-five mules have been received at this camp. Camps, we un- dwatand, will be established all along the line about 10 miles apart, and sffiarute crews will be main¬ tained at each hamp. In this way tho
..Whole line. It is calculated can be ainde ready by early spring, and arlthin less than six months the Illi¬ nois Central Railroad Co., owners of the road, expect to have it In active operation. A supply camp, we are in¬ formed, will also he established weit of the vU'age ot Oskaloosa. Notwlt'n- ¦tandlng the fact that this railroad Is being built by the Illinois Central Co., as a coal feeder tor Its Immense Chicago trade and simply skirts the western edge ot this county. It Is bound to prove of considerable value to Clay county, not only as a taxable asset, but as a'means of cheapening northern and southern transport.i- tlon rates to our people, and In de¬ veloping the territory that iVes be¬ tween the Baltimore A Ohio railroad in this couniy and the Illinois Cen¬ tral's Chicago branch in Marlon county. As such everybody Interested in the development of the county should be Interested In the building of this railroad. Furthermore If co:i| Is found In Oskaloosa Tp., four-fifths ot which territory is now leased to a foreign company, a town ot some Im¬ portance will spring into existen -e on the road directly west of the coun¬ ty seat and a good hard road will he f>ullt   from   T.,oulsvIlle   to   the   new
. town—all of which can be made of great advantage to the capital If we work for it.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Stevens on south Main street iaiit Thursday evening was a scene ot a pleasant liurnrise. Their daughter Haiel invited, to their home a com¬ pany ot young women to spend the fine autumn evening witb her and also to be sure and bring their sew¬ ing with them. They came In a gles- tL-1 mood, looking wise and no douht with suspicion. After the guests bad arrived and were comfortably seated, all chattering and sewing, a Red Cft)ss nurse (little Janice Stewart) appeared and with tbe art of a professional gave each one a favosa large capsnie and to It was tied a pink ribbon; tied to the other end was a dainty Cupid.
She told them to open the capsule and take their medicine, the bitter with the sweet. In these were found not medicine, but tiny strips of paper on which were written rhymes and suggestions and when these were read aloud mirth abounded..
